WHEN DID IT STARTED.

Chapter 10- Cried at the restroom.

I didn't even glance at the beautiful couple's front of me, all my mind could process, was that they should just excuse me, and when I finally heard them saying ' Okay ' I quickly ran to the restroom.

I sat down at the water closet and left my tears down, I didn't want this to happen, I didn't want this trauma, to attack me, but I can't help it, the memories just kept flooding back.

The pain, the tears, and everything, the way I was been suffocated, the way I ended up being used, they all kept flooding back like a stream of the ocean. How could I forget? I asked myself. How possible am I going to forget everything?.

I didn't hold back, I let all the tears in my eyes flow down, my tears were hot, and so was my body, I didn't want to give in to this pain, but who am I kidding, the pain is eating me up and I wasn't sure I could survive it.

Why am I going through all this again, I cried.

I close my eyes and was about to allow the pain to swallow me whole, even though I want to over the pain, I was still tired of this bullshit. I inhale one last time as I close my eyes when someone brought me back to my senses.

"Anna, please don't, don't!!!" Emma said, which made me open my eyes.

"Everything is going to be alright, so don't think much okay," Emma said, before hugging me, she knows about my traumatic attacks, and she's always there for me.

"Emma you know that it hurts, you know that I feel like I'm suffocating, I can't even breath, I feel like I'm losing myself, I can't feel my body, I feel like someone just suck all my strength, " Anna said, as she lets her hot tears flow down from her cheek.

"Hey bestie, I really can't say that I know how you feel, because I don't know, all I can tell you is that everything is going to be alright, just pull yourself together and be strong, try to think positive and don't you even try to forget, you aren't alone you have me, so chill up bestie," Emma said.

" Bestie I don't know if I can......" Anna doubted herself.

" Shhhh.... please stop crying, please " Emma pleaded.

"Okay, I'll" Anna replied with a breaking voice.

"So we are going to go back to those couples and pretend as nothing happened, you have to make sure that they wouldn't ask a lot of questions, and that they wouldn't suspect," Emma said, showing off her authoritative side, as she points her finger at the direction of the door. I want to smash her head, but I don't have the strength to do so. I don't want any kind of attack to affect me, so I got up from the water closet, and started watching my face. When I was through with watching my face, I look at myself in the mirror and suddenly swallowed. I look like someone appointed to take part in a zombie character, I already had dark circles around my eyes. My eyes were all swollen, and yeah!!! I look plain.

"Here you go!!" Emma said, as offered me a makeup powder.

"I have to do this for you," Emma said, I haven't replied yet, because she didn't wait for any reply and started decorating my face. My one's plain face was now glittering and damn beautiful.

My bestie hold my hands and lead me to the table where Lisa and Henry were sited smiling. She is good at acting I commented inwardly.

" Why is it that, I feel like you girls went to the restroom to beautify yourself," Henry asked, as he looks at me and Emma In a sexy way.

This was when I finally notice his beaut, he wore an ink blue suit likewise shoe, he wore an inner White long sleeve, his suit was in order, straight, neat and attractive. His hair is properly combed, and are all in tight, his long hair was packed in a neat ponytail, this time around, he wasn't putting on silver earrings, but Gold long earrings, on both side of his ear. In my eyes, I could only see him as my favorite Indian singer in front of me.

"Yeah, we went to do some touch in our face, you guys were kissing the earlier front of us, which made us so jealous, but maybe as we add makeups to our face, we might end up with a handsome guy, who would take us out, spend the night with, and the person will eventually become our one and only boyfriend, who would wipe all our jealousy away," Anna said, in a teasing way, which made the two couples to start blushing again, their cheek was all pink and I still couldn't believe that Henry was also blushing.

"If I continue looking at you guys, I don't think I can be able to eat, my stomach is already getting filled up, by just look at these two adorable couples," Emma said.

"Waitress!!!! please come" Henry said, calling out for the waitress.

"Hello!!!!" the waitress said, with a smile on, plastered on her face, the smile wasn't fake but an actual real smile and with a good diction of English. Most of the waitress that usually attends to me, fakes their smile. Their smile most times is always forced, they laugh at your jokes, but the laughs don't come from their mind, so looking at this young waitress here, I could already find the answer to my unsaid question, which is, the lady here is a new worker.

" Our surroundings were filled with laugh, jokes, and happiness, so no one had an appetite to eat any solid food, so we all ordered soft drinks".

I ordered an orange juice, likewise Emma, while the couples ordered an apple juice.

"So just to be clear, Henry you are still going to pay for the bills," Anna asked, raising a brow with a questioning look.

" Sure, why not, you can order anything for dessert," Henry said.

"Okay!!! that's good, so who is ready for ice cream" Emma said while grinning as she stresses the word ' ice cream '.

"Count me in baby!!" Lisa said, "and don't you try to forget to count my hubby" she added.

" Hey bestie, you know that I don't need to say anything, because I A M A L L I N," Anna said while stressing her last statement.

Within five minutes, two chocolate ice cream bowls were put on the table.

" So One, Two, Three, Go!!!!"

I and Emma have a chocolate bowl of ice cream to consume, while Lisa and Henry have theirs to consume.

I didn't spare any time, because I immediately dig in, I love competition, and as long as it is ice cream, my favorite, I decided to go for it.

"I can't take in any more ice cream on my mouth", Lisa cried out. Her mouth was stuck with a lot of ice cream, while some ice cream stained her cheeks.

"We Won" me Emma jump up dancing, we didn't mind those that were sneering at us, because all we do know is that we won the challenge.

"Group selfie," Lisa said. And we all position ourselves, while a smile was plastered on us, as we took the selfie. Lisa has ice cream on her cheek, likewise me and Emma, which made the selfie turn out funny.

Henry uses his tongue to lick Lisa's cheek, he did it slowly, like if her cheek was a precious piece of diamond.

' Ahh!! such lovely couples '.

" So why don't we play that game.... hmm, the game involves completing a sentence," Emma said.

" I will go first," Lisa added.

" I," Lisa said, and pointed her finger at Henry who said " AM", he pointed his finger at Anna who said " IN" and she pointed to Emma who ended the sentence with " JAIL". "Why do you end the sentence with a jail" They all shouted at Emma in chorus. "What!!, were you expecting the sentence to continue, so that It will end in love, pfft .... I am happy that the sentence is, " I AM IN JAIL," Emma said as she burst out, laughing in a mockery way. we all couldn't help but smile as we watch her laugh. The game continued, but every time, Emma keeps ending the sentence in a ridiculous way, which is funny.

We played a lot of different games and chatted like high school friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. We exchange numbers, hugged one another, and ordered another light food, that we ate in fun. The couples were still making us jealous, with the kisses and love they kept showering on one another, so when it was already getting late, we finally decided to part ways. Henry decided that we do this every week, which we all happily agreed to.
