Mari
“he was looking so good looking! So handsome I wanted to run to him and beg him to come back to me!” I cried out and palmed my already tear-soaked face, crying really hard.
“Mari, Mari please stop this. Stop or else I'm gonna join you to cry” Eliza said, from her voice I knew she was very close to tears
“I know he loves me. Will still loves me. You need to see the way he looked at me Eliza. He was crying internally.” I said and sniffed. She gave me another tissue and I used it and threw it into the heap of wet and scrunched tissues on the floor
“something's not right. Someone is trying to pull us apart. No. No I can't let this happen. I can't let Will leave meeeeeeeee... Ahhhhhhhhhh” I entered another round of tears
“Mari... Mari please” Eliza was already crying. I hugged her and continued to cry. Goldie jumped on the couch and began to lick our faces mostly mine. She was a big dog now
Repeated knocks on the door made us stop crying. We cleaned our faces and Eliza checked who it was through the pinhole
She looked at me and whispered “Fred”
I frowned and stood up. I looked at her and rolled my eyes. I went upstairs with Goldie without saying anything to Eliza though I knew she'd understand that I didn't want disturbance.
I just wanted to cry my eyes out. I know it's been two months without him already but seeing him today made the memory so fresh as if he had broken up with me today.
Eliza
I wanted to open the door but I looked at the used tissues.
“oh no” I muttered and quickly walked back and pushed all of them under the couch. I walked back to the door and opened it slowly. When it opened, he walked inside and I first of all yawned drowsily and blinked my eyes without opening then fully
“hey Eliza” he hailed at me
“uhhh Fred?” I asked. I cleared my eyes with my hand and looked at him well
“Fred” I called
“were you sleeping? You face is red” he said. I yawned again and even stretched
“yeah yeah. Why... Ahh. Why are you here? Where's Mari? Still at the party?” I asked. Somebody give me some accolades for my great acting skills
“Mari? I thought she was here. She left the party” he said
“what? She left the party? Why would she leave the party?” I asked
“she... She saw her ex's sister and they threw some unpleasant words at each other” he answered and I gasped
“oh my goodness! That's bad. What was she doing there? Gosh! When did she leave the party?”
“about two hours ago”
“what!” I screamed and he flinched
“two hours ago!” I screamed again
“you have to find her!” I screamed again
“I tried calling her but she wasn't picking up” he said
I sighed
“okay. Don't worry I'll handle it. I'll call her if she doesn't come home in the next one hour” I said
“call me if she comes back or doesn't come back”
“okay I will. I'll go back to bed now and if she's not back before I wake up, I'll call you. Okay?”
“sure. Thank you” he said. I opened the door wide and he walked out
“bye” I said
“bye” he answered and I closed my door
I waited until I heard him start his car
“phew!” I breathed out.
I went upstairs and found Mari asleep. Goldie was sitting on the bed beside her and looking over like a guardian angel
“hey. Come over here. Don't wake her up” I said in a whisper. She jumped down from the bed and we walked out together.
Honestly I feel really bad for Marigold. She's fallen so much in love with Wilbur like she wasn't the girl who didn't want to have anything to do with him.
I regretted making her accept him only for her to go through tough heart break. In another way I didn't really regret. If she hadn't accepted him we would still be living wretched without a proper house. Will made us rich in a way. Mari has lots of money, the ones he gave her to spend which of course she refused to and stored it up. The ones she got paid with after modelling alongside Wilbur for a magazine. What about the monthly payment she receives from one agency for letting them use her face on a billboard. A billboard! Just a billboard. Lots of opportunities were open for her but she didn't want to receive them. In her words, "they're a distraction to me. I just wanna study now”.
Even after the breakup that the news was everywhere, some shows wanted to feature her to talk on the reason for their breakup, and of course they'd pay her. But Mari didn't agree to feature in their shows. Tomorrow I'll be going to see Winifred for a little talk without Mari's knowledge
