"Leina Izabella Areli,"
My lips parted when I heard Leina's full name from a man I didn't know.
I looked at Leina and I saw her scratching her head.
"The owner of the school gave me an order. But I saw you here so I went to you." She said nervously as she spoke.
I looked up at the man with a large body as he looked at us with his dark eyes.
I quickly grabbed Leina's arm and made her stand up. I saw how the man in front of us followed my hand. I shut my mouth so his eyes went to my face. His lips parted while looking at my face. The darkness in his eyes suddenly disappeared. But when he looked at Leina his jaw clenched tightly.
I looked at Leina who's nervous right now. She immediately bow down her head and spoke quickly.
"I'm so sorry Sir, I've forgotten that you were giving me orders." Leina nervously uttered while looking at the man in front.
Is he the owner of the school? Why did I just see him now?
The guy scoffed while looking at Leina "In my office now Izabella." he ordered like a boss making Leina jump a bit.
Leina quickly turned to me and smiled lightly. I nodded quickly so she could leave. I saw how she glared at the guy before she walked away.
The guy suddenly laughed making my brows furrowed. I looked at him confused why he suddenly laughed.
"Why are you here young boy? You skipped your class?" He asked while smiling creepily at me.
I nodded so his laughter got louder. What's the point of lying when he already saw me.
"An honest boy huh? That's why that woman became an obsessed one. Such a lucky boy." He mumbled while smirking at me before he walked away.
I just shook my head at what he asked and quickly took the bag that was on the bench. I walked towards Luka and Maven's classroom. My phone is broken so I can't text them.
It was just as they came out that they saw me quickly. Luka's lips curled as if I were a ghost.
"Shit, who are you?" He asked me laughing. Maven hit him so quickly that I laughed softly.
"Are you our friend? I thought you weren't anymore. You know we're sulking because you don't have time with us. Maybe you have a girlfriend already?" Luka asked emotionally
Suddenly the smile disappeared from my lips. Yes, Luka, I have a girlfriend. But she left me. Isn't it amazing? I laughed dryly at the idea.
"Let's drink," I stated, stopping Luka's laughter. His lips parted and he looked at me in disbelief.
Maven looked at me curiously. His brows meeting in the center. I laughed weakly because of their reaction.
Maybe they can't believe that I invited them to drink because they know that I don't drink.
"What? Do you want to come with me to drink or not?" I asked them.
Maven scoffed "Don't joke like that angel. We know you don't drink." Maven teased
"Yes, you don't drink, do you? You're fooling us angel." Lukas said with a laugh.
I looked at them blanky making Luka to stop from laughing "I'm serious, if you don't want it then don't." I said before turning my back on them and started walking.
I haven't gone far when two arms are already on my shoulders as they walked beside me.
"Do you have a problem? Why do you want to drink?" Luka asked in a curious voice as we walked.
I want to sleep right away so that I won't feel the pain. Maybe the drinks will help me do that, right?
"Is there a problem when I drink? Can't I have fun?" I asked and laughed dryly.
"If that's what you want then, let's go." Maven uttered.
Luka didn't say anything until we go to Maven's condo. They just bought drinks then we went straight to Maven's condo.
The silence of the two just made me feel them. when I get drunk will I forget even for a moment that Talliah left me? When I get drunk, will I temporarily forget the pain?
I quickly downed the beer causing the pain and bitterness in my throat to spread immediately. I closed my eyes and put my head on the back of the sofa. How many bottles does it take to get me drunk and numb for good?
"Dude, if you have a problem, just tell us. What's the point of our friendship if we don't share our problems together." Luka said seriously, causing me to open my eyes.
I looked at him and laughed softly "I don't have a problem, maybe it's not bad to do the things you've never done before." I said and immediately gulped down the beer.
I don't know how many glasses I've had, all I know is that alcohol still doesn't erase the sadness and pain in my heart. It only reminded me more that the girl I loved left me.
The pain only doubled and I don't know if it will go away or if I will carry it every day.
All I want is for her to come back. I need her so badly. But I guess her decision is final to leave me behind.
My eyes spinning while in Maven's car. I heard them talking in the front and it seemed like they were arguing.
"Damn you. Aunt will surely get mad. Damn you Luka." Maven hissed
"Why me? Who bought the wine? You jerk." Luka asked not to be defeated.
"Me of course," Maven countered
"That's why it's your fault." Luka said with a laugh
"You don't have a money that's why I'm the one who buys. But it's not my fault if I had money over you." Maven chuckled
"You brag, hey! Our family is also rich." I heard Luka's voice laughing.
I just felt that my chest suddenly tightened again at the thought of sleeping again in the bed where we did it last time. Where in that bed I still hugged her but when I woke up he suddenly disappeared.
After I got out of the car, I quickly waved to Luka and Maven. My eyes are a bit blurry because I fell asleep in the car.
My eyes suddenly widened when I saw my Mom's worried face while sitting on the chair in the living room.
She looked at me worriedly and I quickly walked towards her. She hugged me tightly and seconds later I heard her cries. My heart clenched after hearing her cries.
I didn't realize that tears were falling from my eyes. While hugging Mom back.
"You can't handle your pain, son? You can share your pain to me? And why did you just come home now? Did you drink?" Mom asked crying while hugging me.
I can't stop my sobs while hugging my mother.
"She left me. S-he said she loved me b-but why did she leave without a word." I bit my lower lip to stop my sobs.
The tears I was holding back suddenly exploded like a bomb. I don't know if it was because of the alcohol that I had the strength to report my pain to my Mom.
"Just cry child, the pain will go away. I know she loves you. Maybe she has a reason why she left you."
I hope he told her reason so I can understand her. I will understand her. Mom kissed my forehead before she led me to my room.
My eyes are closed but I can feel the warm liquid running down my cheek. Talliah where are you? Are you in a place where the pain doesn't exist? If you are in that place, please take me with you.
I want to be with you. I want this pain gone.
I opened my eyes and quickly looked for the only picture of her that I had taken myself.
I quickly walked to my small table and picked up her picture. But I suddenly stopped when I saw a folded paper. I immediately took it and opened it.
Abundant and fresh tears flowed quickly when I read Talliah's handwriting.

I hugged the letter tightly and quickly kissed her picture. My sobs got louder after I read the letter. My chest tightened and I couldn't breathe.
Why do you have to leave? If I can fulfill my dreams while having you in my side.
I can achieve my dreams if you are here beside me. But whatever your reasons are I hope I can understand it someday.
But for now I will chase my dreams for you to be proud of me. Because maybe when I make my dreams come true you might come back.
And I hope that at that time you will not let me down.
