" Oh hey," Freya said spotting Zed. He wore a hoodie and was walking along her street when he met her coming from her morning run.
"Freya, it's been a while." he pooled down the hood. His face looked red.
"Oh yeah, yeah it has. What's up with you? Why are you looking this unkept? Did something happen to your business?" she bombarded him with questions.
" Calm down, nothing happened to the business, it's doing great as of fact I'm opening one out of town," he answered.
"That's great news, so what's the matter then?" she asked as her phone rang.
" Hey love," Freya answered the call in front of Zed.
She already moved on? he pondered walking away as Freya talked on the phone.
"Sure see you in the evening then." she dropped the call.
"So--" she lifted her head up to continue with the conversation with Zed but he was long gone.
Where did he go? she shrugged walking towards the mall.
Did she move on?
I thought we had a thing going on.
How come she moved on so fast? he slammed his hands on his steering wheel.
Are you fucking kidding me?
You left her for Soraya and you expect her to wait for you to run into your arms? You must be sick. His conscience scolded as he drove on.

"Hails, how's aviation school?" Sunny asked her best friend on face time.
" It's fun and getting stressful at the same time," she answered.
" My baby, you'd be done in just two months, you've done 10 months already, by the way, how's it going with Ansel?" she teased. Ansel was one of the guys in her class who wouldn't stop asking her out since she entered aviation school. She wasn't giving him that attention because she thought she would work out with Lex, but they didn't. She got closer to Ansel and became the best of friends. She had fallen head over heels in love with him and doesn't know how to break the news to him.
"I still haven't told him," she said to her friend.
"Hails! what if he gets fed up and gets another girl? Then you've got your heartbroken for the second time." Sunny scolded.
" It's not that easy Sunny," she sighed.
"What's not easy? hey, Sunny?" Ansel entered the room and sat beside her.
" She telling you she loves ya." sunny blurted out after an awkward silence.
"Omg Sunny!" Hailey exclaimed.
" Umm, I gotta go, bye Hails I love you." she dropped the call.
"Hun is that true?" Ansel asked her waiting for her reply.
Let it out,
" Y-yes Ansel. it's true. I have fallen deeply in love with you." she confessed.
"Too late Hailey, I've found someone else. I thought you didn't want me so I moved on," he answered. Her heart shattered into a million pieces as she heard that.
I guess I'm not cut out for love...
" Hun? hunny bunny? Hailey!" he called breaking her out of her thoughts.
