Deep down, I know Rob"s full of shit, and at the same time, I believe I’m a lazy fat-ass, and everyone thinks so.

Get the hell out of here and go home now! He reached out to grab me, wanting to force me to leave. Suddenly, there was a tremor. Benjamin and Hector immediately ran to Jennifer, who stood in an open space. Benjamin even shoved me to the ground despite seeing the concrete pillar that was about to collapse behind me. It landed on my left leg, and I passed out from the overwhelming pain. When I woke up again, I was in the hospital with my left leg in a cast. None of my family or friends were by my side.

Combined with her previous indifference to Aaron’s meddling in the company, things spiraled out of control. The original team members who had started the company with us had already left, having found new opportunities elsewhere. In the end, when the company went bankrupt, no one stood by her side. She was left alone, facing insults from both employees and netizens. Allison had accumulated a lot of debt and, in the end, with nowhere else to turn, she chose to jump from a building late one night. I was the last person she contacted on her phone.

One by one, they shook their heads and walked away. I would not call it divine retribution, but I believed that this was the road he had chosen for himself.

I slid downward at terrifying speed, twisting and turning through the bowels of the island’s subterranean infrastructure. The descent felt endless – a chaotic, bruising plunge. Finally, the chute levelled out, and I was violently ejected onto a cold, hard concrete floor. I rolled to absorb the impact, my bruised ribs screaming in protest. I lay there for a moment in the suffocating darkness, just listening. There was no sound of Sloane falling behind me. There was no sign of Jessica or Brent.

He paused for a while and it made the students anticipate his next few words. “I,” he said. Cyril shook his head which made him leave his trance. Who would have thought that with three simple words, his whole life would change in a flash. Remembering that day made him sigh to himself as he opened his eyes and started staring at his ceiling. It’s been 7 weeks now after their previous academic year ended. Also, 7 weeks since he confessed in front of his club and lost almost all of his friends except for one.

The title when this was still a draft was actually ‘Can’t Help Falling (In Love With You)’ because I was listening to the same song only the dark version at the time.
