Memories from Another Time

Movie Cancelled!

Looking down among my feet, pondering impure thoughts while sitting down at the theater with Zairen and the gang, the train of thought was disturbed when I heard a yell at the other side of the mall.

"Shobeeeee", I heard while looking up and seeing Medusa waving her hand, giving a signal to go there. I looked at her from head to toe and compared her outfit with Sahya.  I saw her wearing all black, a girdle to keep her posture straight, shorts paired with enticing fishnet stockings pressed against her thighs, and a face blasted with the most Gothic make up you could ever think of and a death-like fragrance that followed her wherever she goes. I looked back at Sahya, saw him wearing a plain black shirt, paired with blue jeans, and rubber shoes. From this angle, I could see him being such a slave to her just like I was to Edward.

"Where's Zairen?", her screeching voice asked out of nowhere. "He said he's going to follow up on us", answered with a hopeful tone of my naive self. My phone alerted, I looked and felt my heart break. "He's not coming anymore", I said holding back my tears. I could hear Medusa bantering in the background, as I looked down trying to control my emotions. My tears were held back, my breath was getting heavier as I tried to hold it back even more. I suddenly got flashbacks of every single time he disappointed me. "He betrayed me when I was in 7th grade, he sealed me into not talking to him for years, and now this?", thoughts riled up in my mind until I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder. I saw Sahya, giving out the face that I should just understand and let it go. I started breathing slower and felt a bit calmer. I gave Sahya the look as if I was thanking him, I understood his situation, I can't really talk to him. Not while Medusa was around anyways.

I saw Medusa picking up her phone, calling him, telling him how much we put aside our responsibilities just to make it in this trip, and how he has done this a lot of time already. My mind felt oddly at ease but worried when I heard his voice on speaker, "I'm really sorry, something occurred and I couldn't make it anymore". The call was dropped and Medusa, with a frustrated look and a bratty antic, walked straight to Jnclo, while Sahya and I followed behind her.
