Lie To Me novel Chapter 31

"Where's Jasmine?" One of them asked.

Yes. Where is she?

I mentally asked as well.

"Oh, I just here sitting her a while ago,” one of her friends answered shrugging. “I don’t know where did she go now.”

"I saw her running in the mess hall earlier, she’s following someone; a guy.” Another one answered.

"A guy? Who?" their friend asked again.

"I don't know. But he's pretty tall guy with a curly hair,” they answered.

My heart beat faster.

Russel was a tall and curly.

Is that him?

Are they together?

Immediately, I ran to the mess hall but no one is inside there. I was about to leave when I heard a woman speak; it was coming from behind the mess hall

"I thought you were going to end it with her? Then, why are you still together?" It says. The tone was harsh and seemed angry.

"I'm still buying time; I can’t just drop her like that. Please, baby, be patient a little more.” A man replied, he’s was gentle when he was saying that.

My heart hurt, it felt like it was squeezed hardly. My tears started falling.

I heard nothing after that so I slowly walked closer. And my heart hurts more seeing what they were doing.

They were kissing.

I sobbed. That caught their attention. Russel's eyes widen, but there just doesn't seem to be anything there in the woman. It's like I never caught her kissing someone else's boyfriend.

"Good morning, Ma'am! Good morning." He greeted, I smiled.

"What time did they sleep?" I asked.

"Oh no, Ma'am, it's about midnight too. They're still drinking." It says.

I just nodded and said goodbye to go for a walk first.

I want the day to end and go home. I was feeling exhausted even though I slept more than I enjoyed. Maybe it's more tiring to cry than to act.

I just walked straight until I didn't realize I had reached the rocky ground again. Maybe it's because of thinking.

And there, I saw Russel sitting at that big rock. He saw me too but did nothing. He just sat and ran and looked at me. Sadness is in his eyes.

I don't care.

I turned my back and left.
