I Erased You From All My Tomorrows Chapter 10
That afternoon, while I was going through research papers at the library, Paul's name flashed across my phone screen.I didn't want to answer, but I figured he might have an emergency, so I picked up.He sounded anxious. "Zach, is Susie with you?"I didn't answer his question. Instead, I asked, "What's wrong?""What's wrong?" Paul's voice sharpened. "Do you have any idea how much work she dropped to go looking for you?"Do you know how many messes Joanna and I have had to clean up for her? Zach, if you're upset, we can talk it out. But is this really how you want to punish her?"I listened quietly and found it ridiculous."Paul, weren't you the one who always wanted me out of the picture?" I asked.Silence fell on the other end.A moment later, Paul stammered, "I… I didn't…""You know whether you did or not." My voice remained calm. "But it doesn't matter anymore. She's yours now.""Zach! You…"I hung up.…That night, I told Derek about Paul's call like it was a joke. He

Susie reached for my hand.I took a step back and pulled my hand away, looking at her calmly. "Don't touch me."She froze, her hand hanging in midair."Zach?" She looked at me in confusion, as though she didn't recognize me anymore.I stood there in silence, deliberately keeping my distance from her.The excitement slowly faded from Susie's face, replaced by a look of helplessness I rarely ever saw on her.Her voice softened, almost pleading. "Zach, I was wrong. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken you for granted. I should have treated you better."I know you're angry. I know you're blaming me. It's all my fault. Come back with me, okay? Let's go to Belxon. We can start over."A leaf fell down onto her shoulder, yet she didn't brush it away.I looked at her bloodshot eyes. I felt neither the satisfaction I'd expected nor any reluctance to let her go.There was only a quiet sense of calm, as if I were looking at her through a pane of glass."Susie," I said, my voice flat, as if

Somehow, I'd gotten used to Susie's indifferent attitude too.I was used to having things decided for me, being overlooked, and being the understanding boyfriend who never caused trouble.Steam from the hot chocolate rose in front of me, blurring my vision."What's wrong?" Linda asked.I shook my head and smiled. "Nothing. I… I really like it here."The days went by faster than I expected. My classes were intense, and the coursework was heavy, but I liked having so much to keep me busy.Every morning, Derek would throw a pillow at me and yell, "Zach, get up! We're going to be late for class!" Then, we'd scramble to get ready and run to class with a piece of toast in our mouths.Sometimes, Linda would wait for us at the corner with three coffees in hand. The moment she saw us running over, she'd hand us our coffee and tease us, "You two are the last ones again."I'd be gasping for breath, but I couldn't help smiling.My life was lively, genuine, and full of warmth. I felt nee

During my first week at college, Derek talked me into going to an international student party.I didn't want to go at first, for I never felt comfortable at such gatherings.Back home, when Susie took me to similar parties, I would sit in a corner while she and Paul became the center of attention.Joanna would occasionally notice me and ask, "Zach, why are you so quiet?" But before I could answer, Paul's laughter would draw her attention away.Over time, I got used to staying quiet, hiding my thoughts, and being the person who could be easily overlooked.This time, though, things were different.At the party, a few students were talking about a movie I'd happened to see. I opened my mouth to say something, then swallowed the words back down out of habit.A girl named Linda Jarvis was sitting beside me. She noticed it, so she turned toward me and asked, "Zach, were you about to say something?"I hesitated."Go ahead. Tell us," she said with a warm, genuine smile. "Nobody's goin

It felt like the floor had just dropped out from under Susie, leaving a void in her chest.She instinctively called me and held the phone to her ear."I'm sorry. The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable."She called again but still couldn't get through.Joanna looked at her and couldn't bear to watch. "Susie, you..."Susie ignored her and kept calling me, hitting redial again and again. Every call brought the same automated message.Then, it hit her that I might have blocked her. The realization cut into her chest like a dull, rusted blade.I had always replied to her messages right away and never hung up on her. But now, I'd blocked her.Paul looked at her pale face, his lips parting as if he wanted to say something. In the end, he only muttered, "Susie, let's get to the hotel first. Zach just needs some time to cool off. We can talk to him later."Susie didn't move.She stood at the entrance to the parking lot as travelers came and went around her. Above

Susie froze for a moment, then laughed. "Mr. Garner, what are you talking about? That's impossible. Why would Zach go abroad?"Dad fell silent for a moment, and somehow, that silence gave Susie a bad feeling."It's true. Zach went abroad. I was surprised that he didn't tell you." Dad's voice was calm, almost politely distant. "He called me before he left and said he'd made up his mind a long time ago."The smile on Susie's face stayed fixed, but the light in her eyes faded. "Mr. Garner… You're joking, right?"Dad sighed softly. "I have no reason to joke about something like this. Zach has never liked causing trouble for anyone. But once he makes up his mind, nothing can change it. Susie, you… Take care of yourself."The call ended. The dial tone pierced her ears like a needle.Joanna was the first to snap. "What is Zach doing? Is he messing with us?"Her angry voice echoed through the empty parking lot, like I'd made fools of them.Paul frowned too, his voice full of frustratio
