The Promise (One-Shot)

Broken-hearted ...

---oOo---

                Our High School Ball Night comes. I went to her house to fulfil my plans of asking her to be

my date,noting the fact that I'm absolutely excited and nervous at the same time. As I was

approaching on the way to her house (just a wee walks away from my house), I saw someone

standing in the front door. I try to hide myself just to see who that someone is. The

door opened, and that was Andie’s Mum. She let that someone come inside while greeting him

with a smile .Curious and very eager to know who the hell he is, I carefully walk through the window

and secretly take a peep. My eyes start to open wide, as I was so shocked to see and recognize the

lad whom I just saw on the door –it’s HIM! The transferee I confronted a year ago.

                                "What the hell is he doing here? I thought, I thought ----"

                I notice that they’re about to come out so I run as fast as I could and hid myself on the

fence. I stare at them in secret, seeing that he ask my best mate to be his date for the Prom. I

started to plead in secret, pleading to her on NOT to accept that prick’s offer. Unfortunately, my

plead failed me. Andie accepted his offer to be his date. She put her arms over his arms as like she

was clinging over him. Honestly, I feel like I was stabbed continuously straight to my heart while

seeing them together, that I feel like “Why did she never told me about this?” – And they left .I was

absolutely gutted and sad on that night seeing them together, feeling so miserable and

backstabbed by the girl I secretly love.

                I went to the Ball all by myself, still thinking of that incident I saw a while ago. As I was

walking through our school’s gymnasium, my eyes caught something - I saw Andie and the prat

she’s dating. I try to keep my sight away from them, as well as not to catch her attention until

someone shouted my name, calling me. It’s Andie, “my bestfriend”, standing while waving her

hand. I want to smile back at her, but I try not to. I take my eyes away from her,totally ignoring her,

and walk away instead without glancing nor seeing the reaction of her face.

                The music roars around the gymnasium,that's why some of my classmates and

schoolmates decided to have a wee dance at the dance floor. I was sitting together with Shane

and Kian while Andie was chatting to that lad whom I confronted before telling

him he should stay away from her. I can see how happy she really is, how sweet her smile really is

while she chats to that git. I feel absolutely fuming while I’m staring at both of them. So furious I

want to slash that guy’s head off, thinking that I'm the one who should be on his place and not him. I

admit it, I’m so freaking jealous – absolutely and utterly jealous

seeing my girl talking to some other guy – the girl I secretly love of all these years. I’m still staring

on themwhen I noticed they both went to the dance floor and start dancing to the tune of this slow

but sweet music. Shane and Kian decided to have a dance with their dates for that night. Kian asks

me if I’m alright (coz they’re both aware about my true feelings for Andie). I smiled, telling them I’m

fine even though I’m hurting and broken inside. They both gave me a quick tap on my shoulder, and

then they left afterwards. I’m still staring on them, feeling so miserable and jealous – looking like

an absolute loser. I can’t deny the fact that it hurts, it does really hurt seeing her with someone else,

that I feel like I’m gonna cry any moment from now. I can’t take the sight of them any longer so I

decided to call it a night and leave the Ball all by myself.

                School starts again. Everyone seems like, they enjoyed our High School BalI  a few days

ago especially the girls in my class. And me? Well, I still can’t get over with that horrible nightmare

seeing my bestfriend dating another guy on our Ball – the supposed-to-be my special night to

remember with her was ruined by some pesky sod. I'm still with the gloomy and “I-don’t-want-to-

see-nor-talk-to-anyone-coz-I’m-brokenhearted” face when Kian suddenly rushed through me with

these words,

                                "Have you heard about what happen to Andie?" 

                Clueless and terrified, I shook my head saying “No”. And he added,

                                "She’s in the hospital right now. She attempted to take her own life because

she was raped by Liam (the transferee guy whom I confronted a year ago) after the Ball. The police

arrived at his house today and took him to the police station for further questioning."

                I can feel the heavy weight on my shoulders, as well as my knees starts to tremble after

hearing that horrendous news from Kian. My feet frozed in minutes,as well as my whole body trying

to absorb and understand what my mate just said about  Andie -- about my girl. Without thinking

twice (and still can't believe about what happened to her), I rushed myself out of our classroom and

went straight to the hospital where she was admitted just to see her and to know how she is.

                                   Andie ... Andie, wait for me ... Please,wait for me ....
