Though late, I just can't wait. I have to drive down to his house. *uckily, Octavia doesn't hear me as I rush out of the house. Ohhh;;; Octavia;; What am I going to do? She will be so depressed. xow do I even manage this?

I decided to call Mina and brief her about what had happened.

”Mina; Nick left me;” I cry to my friend.

”What do you mean left?” she asks for clarity.

”Llease, just come sit at my house because Octavia is sleeping. I'm going to his apartment. I don't have the strength to talk right now,” I said amidst sobs.

I hear Mina's mouth a cuss word under her breath.

”xey, friend, I'll be right there. Don't move, okay? I'll be with you in Hfteen,” she tells me before hanging up.

Mina arrived in a record fourteen minutes and hugged me on her way to my couch so I could leave.

I try to shove the thoughts down and make my way to Nick's house. I opened the door with the spare key he gave me. Xverything in the living room and kitchen seems in order. I make my way to the bedroom. Not much changes, only that the wardrobe is almost empty, and his favorite shoes are gone.

Nick had to have left in a hurry: the only reGection that he had gone was his bedroom. To think that Nick would end things suddenly and without any form of proper communication just angers me the more. Y-TXD WITx MB XR'S 18OTxX8 7’7

We could have talked about it. xe could have told me what was going on.

Why does he always shut me out?

Why Nick?

Why??

I walked back slowly to his living room, where he had kissed me just this morning and told me he loved me.

Was that a lie?

Was he planning to leave all this time?

-t this point, I can't hold back the tears anymore. I lose it and sit dejectedly on his sofa. Tears begin to well up in my eyes until there3s no choice but for them to spill down my face. Suddenly, memories of us come crashing in, and it hurts;

I bury my face into my palm, crying woefully and screaming his name.

I don't know how long I cried before doPing oA on his couch. I check the time and see that it's well past midnight.

Shit!

With so little energy left, I get up and head to my car. I honestly don't think it is safe for me to drive. I have no will to do anything and am scared I might go oA the road. I can't even see straight. My nose is snotty, my eyes red and eEtremely puAy, and my head is beginning to ache.

I sit still in my car, very deep in thought, when I muster all my strength and head home.

9pon entering the house, the sight of Mina pushes me to the brink of tears again.

”Oh, Isabel,” Mina's compassionate voice echoes through my ears as she rushes over to comfort me.

Without saying anything else, she envelopes me in a hug and stays still, allowing me to cry on her shoulders.

”Mina, I don't know what to do,” I manage to say with my hoarse voice. ”I don't know what to say; I can't even eEplain how I feel right now. Oh my “od; Octavia, too, how do I tell her? Bou know she made herself sick the Hrst time Nick and I broke up,” I cry out.

Mina remains still, allowing me to eEpress all my emotions to her.

She is indeed the very best of friends.
