Though it was raining, Crystal never stopped running. She was
disillusioned from the words of the man she loved Half vampire?
Hello? This is totally absurd! If he didnt want to be with her, he
could have told her right in her presence. Why must he go around
the bush, trying to evade questions, feelings and most importantly
himself?
Tears kept tickling down her cheeks, as she takes no effort in
trying to wipe it away. Crystal was too shocked, too stunned
Erm
I tell you tomorrow
Why tomorrow? Tell me now!
I need to prepare first
Didnt he wanted to get her a gift or something so as to appear
more sincere when he expressed his feelings? So the preparation he
wanted wasnt a gift it was an excuse. And it wasnt a confession
of love it was a rejection using a lame excuse. Within a night,
Crystal had complete change of impression in Leo, which hurts her
the most when she realised that point. The man whom she had spends
her time happily with
all these is ending?
The rain had gradually brewed into a thunderstorm. Flashing and
roaring across the night sky it was as if heaven, too, was
displeased with Leo. Crystal finally ran out of breath, she stopped
by the roadside and sat by the concrete floor. She doesnt care
getting drenched in the pouring rain; the mental and emotional
torment she was undergoing was like a ton of iron on her. Nobody
should be rejected in such a manner... nobody should play around
peoples feelings
Nobody should
Suddenly, Crystal felt that the rain is getting lighter on her
someone standing beside her, shielding with an umbrella. Crystal
looked up and saw Ray, whose irritable features seemed to have
disappeared, leaving a warm, approachable figure.
Dont stand here in the rain Crystal! You will get sick. Come, get
into my car.
Well, since you dont care about
me, what for I bother about you? There are someone who obviously
care more about me even though he may seemed slightly unappealing,
but at least he cares.
Without a second thought Crystal got into the car. Ray hastily
fetched a towel from the car compartment and passed it to
her.
Lower down the aircon, Joe, instructed Ray to his chauffeur,
where do you stay Crystal? I happen to come by and saw you sitting
in the open all by yourself? Where is Leo? How could he leave you
here all by yourself?
Dont speak about that jerk. I dont want to go home; He is there.
Bring me somewhere else.
Alright
Crystals unable to control her wild emotions once more, fell into
another bout of whimpering. Ray then puts his hands around her,
trying to comfort and console.
Judging at his cocky appearance, I knew that Leo was a jerk
within. He look so flirt
you are better off without him
Crystal absorbed nothing of Rays words as Ray kept blabbering
about how lousy Leo was, etc. It was only when the car came to a
sudden stop that brought her back to reality.
Where is this place?
Dont worry, its my house. Joe shelter Crystal into the
house.
Rationally, Crystal shouldnt enter his house but her mind is
clouded and her womanly instinct couldnt reach to warn her. She
got out of the car and walked into the detached house, the last one
at a dead-end road. Like his car, Crystal was expecting nothing
less than some grand interior design; it was an understatement.
Crystal slumped onto the comfy sofa her eyes still sore from the
crying.
So could you like a drink? said Ray as he signalled Joe to exit
himself.
Anything would do, replied Crystal, still very affected by Leos
words. It seemed like a blow she will never recover, critical hit
right on her heart. It wasnt any ordinary sorrow it was simply
devastating.
Why do I have to get so
emotional over him? He isnt my boyfriend! Furthermore, he didnt
even come after me when I ran off
haiz
Again tears flowed.
Have a drink
Gulping it, Crystal held onto the rock glass and something caught
her eyes
it was the crystal ring that Leo gave. Thinking back all
the days when they were together and how happy they were, she
couldnt accept the fact those days are forever gone. Why must
things always happen in this way? Many a times, human have no
control over their fate like puppets, whose roles is being
manipulated by its master. Do we have the strength to break free?
Can we do anything about our dire situation?
Weeping while pondering, Crystal felt that her eyes were getting
heavy and is losing focus. Rubbing it, she looked at Ray and had a
double vision. She stood up and is unable to balance herself.
Danger flashed across her mind, as she sensed something was
wrong.
Whats was in the drink? You
you
drug the drinks din you?
