Meeting Him

Sapphire was in the bathroom, dealing with one of her episodes, her panic attack suddenly arise. She was panting, gasping for air, her body violently trembled as she leaning over the bathroom sink for support. Out of a sudden, she hear voices inside her head. "Ha look at you.. who would date someone like you!!!" " No wonder your father cant even stand seeing your ugly face!!!" " Cant you die?!? If i were you i would kill myself long time ago" She heard laughter taunting her, mocking her. She was breathing heavily like she want to pass out. She felt someone rest their hand on her shoulder that pull her out from a trance. She jumped. She looked behind her. It was London. She had a worried face plastered on her face. "Are you ok... you look pale?" She look at her reflection. She was startled how much of a mess she look. She was sweating, her hair shriveled, of course she is used to her plain ugly appearance but this is the next level of ugliness. Suddenly she felt calm. "You suddenly ran off.. are you ok???" "ye-yeea i-i'm fine. I don't feel good" . "Do you want to ask for a leave?" She asked "No I'm fine" i breathe in ..trying to grasp where I am. I wash my face using tap water, to snap into reality, combing my hair with fingers, looking at herself in the mirror before leaving the bathroom as if nothing happened.

Sapphire and London reached to their department as the crowd embarked toward the entrance.

"Ah there she is!!!" We heard an elderly proud like voice in the room. We meet the same gentlemen downstair. The team leader, Mr. James, an man in his 50's with pot belly , bald head, wearing a white shirt, cheap black vest and pant along with The chairman of the company and that bastard. London begun to smile, showing off her million dollars smile. " The beauty of this department.... London Millers, one of the best top employee in this company." I scoffed. Noted the sarcasm. "Mr. James aren't you flattering me tooo much" She smiled. "Of course, without everyone we wouldn't be here. So i cannot take the credits from everyone merit" "You are quite humble" He responded with a business smile. "Thank you." Compliments like these doesn't fazed London at all. Here goes her pretty privilege. *shrug* "And this is" the Team leader trailed off. Of course everyone know me. The ugly plain woman who pair up with this beauty. Jonathon lean forward like he is recognized my face.

"Ah Sapphire. Is that you?" He suddenly smiled, I suddenly frowned. "Woah..it has been so long!!!!" I felt anger, rage boiling inside of me bit at the same time .. fear... The same person who ruin my life .. acting all friendly. That son -of-a . Calm down.. I'll just ignore him. There were shocked expression on their faces.

"Huh you two know each other" "No way how can he know that ug- Ack!!"

"Ah we know each other back in college" No it not that not true!!!! I wanted to yell at them , but his cold gray pierced at me which sent shivered down to my spine, sending a block of air, blocking my throat from saying anything or to deny anything. "Ahhh no way" "No wonder"

I grab the edge my skirt, gripping it tightly. All i could do is give a small smile.

"Ah well then , it nice to meet all of you. See you guys around" Jonathon leave the office, walking toward me. I held my breathe hoping he could walk passed me but instead he stop beside me, smiling. I didn't look up to his face. But instead he rest his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it. "It has been soo long. How are you???" I didn't responded. "How rude!!!" "Ah don't be like that. I know her best." I felt my stomach churned making me want to vomit immediately. He add more pressure, squeezing my shoulder. I flinched. He glared at me , making me hiding my pain from everyone.. that what I'm good at. The hand on the shoulder carried a meaning. "If you dare run... i will find you and kill you!!!!" He smiled before leaving. I sighed in release after i realis how long I held my breath. Now please me while i go to the bathroom and vomit everything that I had for lunch.
