JAKE'S POV

January 7, 2017. It has been exactly six months since she left me. Since she abandoned me. Kristy. Just thinking about her used to make tears come in my eyes. But my eyes have dries out. I can no longer cry. I feel hollow inside. As if a black hole has come in my heart sucking all emotions. 

I was always a cry baby. But now I can no longer have tears. Not only tears, I have lost the ability to show any emotions. Initially some sad commercials of Asia helped me to bring some moisture in my eyes. But now even they are of no use. Why? Why is it not me but her who left ? I can no longer face her family. Instead of being angry, all their eyes show is sympathy. Why! Just hit me. Break my legs if you want. Make me feel pain. I have lost everything here.

My jackass bestfriend, who always searched for a way to kick my butt, now hugs me to mourn on her death, telling 'it will be alright'. She is gone for heavens sake! She will not come back. I will not be fine. Never.

Her bestfriend , who always tried to seduce me to get me away from her, is now smiling sadly looking at me. Why didn't I just leave like they wanted? She would have lived if I had just left her. She would be happy with some other guy.

DING DONG

The ringing of the door bell made me get up. I have locked myself up in my, which used to be 'ours', apartment for the past five months, surviving on the cup noddles and pizzas I buy from the money I saved to surprise her on a trip to Spain. But what is the use now? I slowly made my way to the door and opened it to find my brother looking at me with a concerned look.

"What?" I snapped.

"What have you done to yourself? You are spoiling your health!" He exclaimed while pointing at my attire.

I looked at my attire and shrugged. I was wearing a simple t-shirt and some grey tracks. It is true, I am not dressed up as myself. I more of look like a kid suffering from malnutrition.

"James, what do you want?" I asked as calmly as I can.

James just sighed and entered my apartment. I can no longer call this place home. NO, not without her.

"Dude, you look like you have typhoid or something. So I brought you some healthy food."He said, grinning at me. 

James Stone, My best friend, partner in crime, and also the one who is helping me to move on now. I owe him a big time.

"There was no need-" I was cut-off by his pointed gaze.

"Jake, How longer are you going to lock yourself in this room? We all are worried for you dude. Your mom has not seen your face since the past five months. You know she cannot handle so much tension. Annie asks me about you almost everyday. Even she is worried sick for you! Evan I am worried for you. You know that Kristy would never want you to be in this state." James said with a soft look and a bit stern voice. I know that she will not want me to be on this state, but how can I easily move on.

"I know James, I know. But not just yet." I mumbled softly. James felt a deep sigh and then started to grin half- heartedly.

"You know, this food is made by Annie and me. You must try it!" I chuckled softly. I took the plate in which he had served some pasta. It was her favorite food.

I slowly ate the pasta. My eyes widened and tears swelled in them. It had the same taste as her cooking. James looked at my state as engulfed me in a hug. I decided not to cry on him. He already has his problems. If my pour mine on him, he will just drown.

"James, it was nice meeting you. I guess you must leave." I said, keeping my eyes low.

"Alright." I never looked up, just heard the door shut, and my tears started to flow again. With each bite, I was reminded of her.

~flashback~

"Jake, I only know to make pasta!" Kristy whined.She is adorable. Today it has been 5 months since we decided to date. I was happy in my life with her, she was the perfect match.

"No worries Kris, even if it sucks I will give you a ten" I said, winking. Kris glared playfully at me and went in the kitchen. After half an hour, I could something delicious. It was her pasta.

"Here is the pasta for my boyfriend," Kris said as she placed it before me. I inhaled the smell, and my stomach growled in response.

"Thank you girlfriend." I said with a grin, and slowly took a bite. My eyes widened at the taste.

"How is it?"Kris asked, eyes wide in anticipation.

"This is" *dramatic pause* "The best pasta ever!" I exclaimed and Kris squealed. I was so happy to see her happy. Cheesy? I know.

"I love you Jake."Kris whispered and gently placed her lips on mine. I kissed her back. 

We pulled out once we were in need for the thing called oxygen.

"I love you too, Kris" I whispered in her ear and started to kiss her again.

~flashback end~ 

I finished the pasta and put the plate in the dish washer. Suddenly, the door bell rang again.

"What does he want now?" I muttered under my breath and made my way towards the door.

"What do you -" I looked up to see a beautiful girl staring right back at me. She had worn a turtleneck sweater and a plaid skirt. She looked breath taking.

"Um.. Hello? How may I help you?" I asked the girl with a bit unsure.

"Can I know where Jake Wilson lives?" The girl asked, her voice as smooth as velvet.

"That's me." I said with a small smile. The girl's eyes widened and she launched on me, trowing her arms around me in a tight hug. I was taken back by her actions. Do I know her?

"Sorry if I sound rude, but do I know you?" I asked as I wriggled out of her embrace. The girl gave me a sheepish smile, scratching the back of her neck.

"Oh, sorry. I am Millie by the way" She said, enthusiastically. I rose my eyebrow, I still don't get it! Do I know her?

"And no, you don't know me." She smiled at me innocently.

"So, why do you need me?" 

"Oh, Kris asked me to," She said, a bit unsure.

"What?" I was bewildered. She knew Kris? Kris never told me about her.

"Yeah. She knew you were gonna be like this after she leaves. So she asked me to help you"Her smile was a bit unsure, as if debating what my response will be.

"Ohk..." I dragged the 'k' with uncertainty.

"What do you need from me Mellor?" I asked, and tried my best to be polite with my voice

Millie give me a nervous giggle. "You know that I know Kristy right?" I nodded my head at the point.

"So I am here to show you 9 things you are missing while being locked up in this apartment." Now she was grinning widely.

"What?" I said, my eyes wide. Is she crazy?

"So, I will meet you tomorrow here itself by noon!" She chirped happily and walked out of the apartment.

What.The.Hell.
