I rushed over, picked up the pen and smashed it hard on the ground, the pen bounced back to my feet. I stared at it and stomped on it as hard as I could. Bright red blood flowed out from my feet, staining the pen red, but no matter how hard I stomped on it, I just couldn't break the pen.
He didn’t believe me and he insulted me with the most vile words, why didn't I throw this pen away? Why did I bring it here?
Why!
Tears flowed frantically down the corners of my eyes. I crouched down in defeat, cradling the pen on the floor tightly into my arms.
He insulted me, did not believe me and was about to get engage with Alicia, why did he still give me hope?
‘Marlon, as long as you casually hook your fingers at me, I will still return to you.
Even if you slander me with the most vile words in the world, I will feel that you still care about me when you bring this pen!’
The tears flowed like crazy. I held the pen howling. I had loved Marlon for four years. But the love was arduous.
For many times I was to give up and leave, but I failed.
‘Marlon, your heartless and your indifference made me tired. I'm just a person, I need rest.’
My emotions were raging wildly, but I didn't want to control them at all. I'd had too many things happen to me, all my emotions had been suppressed for too long, and at this moment, I didn't want to suppress them anymore, but to cry out loud, at least, I could feel better.
When the first ray of sunlight came in in the next morning, I opened my eyes and told myself to pull myself together.
I didn't know when I fell asleep, and I forget how long I cried. When I woke up the next day, I was clutching my pen tightly, leaning on the foot of the table. I curled up for the night and when I woke up in the morning, there were tears in the corners of my eyes, and the room was in messes, and I was bruised over the body.
I looked out at the rising sun and smiled to myself.
"Rachael, everything will be fine, you have to cheer up!"
But when I looked at my foot with glass in it, I laughed bitterly and helplessly. I took the medical kit, took out the glass and applied the medicine. The pain made my tears come out of my eyes. That was what I get for letting my emotions go last night. It hurt!
I medicated the bruises from the beating on my body as well and cleaned up my room. I faced the mirror and smiled.
"Rachael, from now on you should stop thinking about anything, don't think about Alicia, don't think about Marlon. You just need to work hard, get CH and earn Davidson's surgery fee"
I nodded firmly to myself
I didn't get to the office early because of my injured foot, but thankfully I wasn't late.
"Shame on her for having the nerve to come to work!"
"Yes, if I were her, I'd want to find a hole in the ground. but she's still walking around openly!"
As soon as I entered the office, a few of my colleagues looked up, glanced at me with disgusted contempt and talked loudly without regard.
I walked towards my own seat as if I hadn't heard.
"If she was walking around, how could she steal things. Lock up your stuff and don’t get them lost!"
Behind me, a sharp female voice fell into my ears, followed by the echoing voices of the crowd.
I sat down and tried to smile with my head down. I thought I didn’t care, but I still felt upset.
