Chapter 7

Author: Arya Sue
Just then, my phone buzzed again. I knew without looking that it was probably another message from Bradley.

He had been sending messages on and off since last night. Some were explanations, others were questions, and a few were desperate pleas.

He asked why I was being so firm and why I wouldn't give him another chance.

He said he truly knew he had made a mistake and asked me to think it over.

I didn't reply to a single message. I put my phone on silent and placed it face down on the table.

  • No Bracelet, No Boyfriend, No Future Together   Chapter 11

    Bradley no longer just watched me from a distance. Despair began to show in his eyes.A few times, it looked like he was about to rush over and stop me. But each time, my friends or family would step in and block him.Whenever Mom saw him, her face grew serious, and she would step in front of me.The days passed as things stayed tense, and I continued to ignore him.Finally, I received an offer from a university abroad.On the day of my flight, Mom and Dad took me to the airport.At the security checkpoint, I hugged each of them goodbye.Mom couldn't hold back her tears. She reminded me over and over to take good care of myself.Dad patted my shoulder, looking at me with trust and hope for my future."Go on, Sabrina. Go and live your life."I nodded firmly and gave them a bright smile. "Don't worry about me, Mom and Dad. I'll be fine."With that, I turned and walked through security, pulling my suitcase behind me.The international terminal was crowded with people coming an

    Bradley thrust out his hand and held the closing door firmly in place."Sabrina, please don't close the door. I'm begging you. Give me one more chance."He was so strong that I couldn't push the door closed.His calm, composed facade completely fell apart. All that remained was a desperation to make me take him back."I know I messed up. I really do. Please forgive me! I shouldn't have doubted you, yelled at you, or ignored you. Please give me one more chance. Let's start over, okay?"He stumbled over his words, tears welling up in his eyes.Nicole stood to the side, already in tears. She ran off without another word.But neither Bradley nor even I glanced at her.We stared at each other through the narrow gap in the door.He looked at me pleadingly, but I felt nothing."Let go," I said icily."I'm not letting go! Not unless you promise to give me another chance!" His stubbornness couldn't be any more out of place.While we stood there refusing to give in, Mom called from

    There was a touch of eagerness to please in Bradley's smile, along with hope and a hint of apprehension."Sabrina, you're back." His voice was a little hoarse as he looked straight at me."What are you doing here?" I asked.I had no intention of letting him inside."I heard you were coming home today, so I've been waiting next door.""I see," I replied, showing no emotion.Bradley seemed unsure how to handle my indifference. He quickly opened the box in his hand and held it out to me.Inside was a delicate bracelet that gleamed softly under the light.I recognized it. It was the bracelet I had wanted for so long."Take a look. Do you still like it?" He watched me with hopeful eyes.I lowered my gaze to the bracelet I had once wanted so badly.Strangely, I felt no joy or warmth at the sight of it. It no longer meant anything special to me."No, thank you. I don't want it anymore." I looked up at him and spoke slowly and clearly.Bradley's smile froze. The hope in his eyes f

    Bradley's apology was what I had once wanted to hear more than anything.But now that I had finally heard it, I felt nothing but exhaustion, the kind that seemed to come from within."Go home. There's no need to apologize," I said. My voice sounded calm and flat."Sabrina!" Bradley raised his voice in a panic. "We've known each other since we were kids. We've spent 18 years together. 18 whole years! Are you really going to throw all that away just like that?"His words hurt me deeply.He was right. We had spent 18 years together.I had grown from a clueless little girl into the person I was today.For 18 years, he had been at the center of almost everything in my life. Every joy and every sorrow I had felt had been tied to him.But after that many years together, when he should have known me better than anyone, what had I gotten in return?I opened my eyes abruptly, turned around, and stared straight at the door.I could almost picture him standing helplessly on the other sid

I put my phone on silent and placed it face down on the table.I stayed at the cafe for over an hour before leaving.In the early evening, Dad called me. He said his meeting had been delayed, so he could have dinner with me that night.I happily agreed.By the time I arrived, Dad had already ordered our food. We ate and talked, enjoying each other's company.He asked me what I thought of the city.I said I liked it a lot and that everything here felt new to me.Dad smiled and said he was glad to hear that. He then asked if I had decided which college

    "It's okay. Math is my worst subject anyway. What's done is done. I'll just do better next time."Bradley looked up at Nicole, his eyes unusually red-rimmed."Why didn't you tell me you went to look after the kitten? We found that stray cat together. Why did you go off on your own? You should've asked me to come with you."That road was already hard to travel, and you're not very good at riding a bike. Why didn't you ask me to go with you?"He was about to say more when Nicole cut him off, clearly annoyed. "I'll do what I want. Who are you to tell me what to do?"Bradley opened his mouth, almost saying the words he had been holding back.But just then, he saw me standing outside the door.He struggled to swallow the words he had wanted to say.He stood up, strode toward me, and opened the door.In the silence, I forced a small smile. I was about to say something unrelated and change the subject so he wouldn't feel embarrassed.Then Bradley said sharply, "Sabrina, were you e
