After the Love Has Gone (Helena and Mark) novel Chapter 2

After a few rounds of drinks, my friends all started complaining to me. "We all thought you'd completely forgotten about us after getting yourself a girlfriend. You're not allowed to do this again next time, understand?"

I nodded and promised them I wouldn't. "Just call me out anytime you guys are meeting up again next time. I'll definitely be there."

I'd put all of my focus and attention on Helena after we started dating. My work and life revolved around her all the time. However, I'd lost my own friends in the process.

Now that I thought of it, it hadn't been a wise choice at all.

I looked at my phone and saw that Helena had returned the money I sent her.

It was 1:00 am by the time I finally went home. I turned on the lights in the living room and saw Helena waiting on the couch.

I was shocked. For a moment, I thought I was seeing things.

Helena saw me in my tipsy state, but she didn't come up to help me. Instead, a look of hate and disgust appeared on her face.

She said with much disgust, "Mark Lovelace, can't you just man up? Just tell me if you're jealous. Drinking yourself to death like this will only make me despise you more."

My head was spinning. I held on to the wall and slowly hobbled over to the dining chairs before taking a seat.
