Let Him Love You First

After leaving everything behind, Zoey needs to go home and face all she have left. She thought time can heal all wounds but after reuniting with her friends, she has to face her mortal nemesis as well as her ex boyfriend. Little did she know that there is a guy who is watching her from a far that will help her mend her shuttered heart. --- To: America Message: You know what? If you thought that Zoey was wrong for treating you badly, wouldn't it be better for the two of you to sit down, relax and talk? Remember that you've been friends since childhood. Reply: Earl it's easy to say but hard to do. Yes! We've been considering each other as best of friends but why did she decide to believe other people's hearsay? For their seven years of friendship, Zoey could say that America is a hard-headed person. Zoey pretended to be someone just to have a decent conversation with her. All she wanted was to know the truth. It started when one of her classmates saw both America and Michael, Zoey's boyfriend, at the mall. At first, when she heard about this, she thought that what was the deal of seeing them? What if they were buying some stuff together? She naïvely thought that it would be better than her best friend was on good terms with her boyfriend. In that way, she can help and understand them if they were fighting. But all of those thoughts disappeared in an instance when her classmate showed her a picture wherein they caught in the act of kissing and holding each other's hands while buying Cinema Tickets. She dialed America's phone number and tried to ask where she was last weekend when someone saw them together. America answered her calmly, "I was at home sleeping. Why? You knew that Mom was mad at me, and I grounded and forbad going outside last weekend, right?" After she had heard her reply, she thought that her response was like a big slap on her face; she knew that she was lying because her friend's evidence was authentic. The photo has a date on it, and it was impossible for anyone to edit or change the said photo because she used a film camera. Zoey thought of it before she called Michael and asked the same question. After Michael had answered her phone call and heard her question, his forehead instantly covered with cold sweat. Did Zoey found out about them? He tried to calm himself first before answering, "Babe I've told you that Dad was still mad at me and ordered me to stay at home and that was the reason I couldn't pick you up after your ballet lesson." Little did he know that his answer was exactly the same as what America has said to Zoey? Zoey started to have a doubt about them. After that week, Zoey found more about their illicit romance. They indeed are having an affair behind her. When most of her friends tried to convince to break it up with him, Zoey finally decided to do it. She then again called and asked him to meet her at the park near our village. When he arrived she immediately said, "Mike, let's end this." At that moment, she was already shredding her tears as she was asking him to end their relationship. Mike wanted to hold her hand but before he even had the chance to grab her left hand Zoey already stepped backward to avoid him. "Z I'm sorry. I know I'm wrong. I know I wronged you but please don't this to me. I was tempted, I seduced. I don't like nor love America. Babe, please don't say that." Who would have thought that Michael has the audacity to say that? Zoey was confused about what to believe; she didn't know if Michael was telling the truth or if it was another set of lies. But before she turned around and leaves, she took aback when she saw him kneeling and crying on the ground while asking for her forgiveness. She took them back her words.

The End!

America stayed in his apartment until the sun sets, she waited for hours to talk to Michael who arrived later than 8 pm.

"You're here again??" Michael exclaimed after seeing his apartment clean and well lighted. He throws his briefcase into the couch and proceeds to the kitchen to drink a glass of water.

"Yes, I'm here. Why? You don't want to see me anymore?" America questioned his greetings to her. Before whenever she pays a visit to him and arrived earlier than Michael, she never cared what kind of greetings he will say to her but now that she had gathered a lot of things about him and Zoey, her patience is at its peak.

"Don't start it, I'm tired!" Michael placed the glass into the empty sink and loosen his tie then throw it to the nearest dining chair.

Older people used to call this type of person a human python wherein whenever they change their skin they just leave wherever.

America followed her and took his tie then placed it to his laundry basket. "I just cleaned your house. Will you please make it last just for a night?"

"Wait, what? As I remember this is my house. My house, my rules. The door is wide open for you to leave if you want and besides I didn't ask you to clean my apartment." Irritated by America's remarks on how he managed his house made him say these harsh words to her.

America was dumbfounded with Michael which reminded her about Zoey. "Why are treating me this way? Is it because of Zoey?" she asked with burning fire in her eyes.

"What is Zoey's involvement here? I've been like this since we started this fucking mess. It was you who kept on clinging that's why Zoey broke up with me."

"You know that wasn't true! You're the one who started this…."

Michael cut her words by laughing to her by saying it him at all. "If you didn't enter into my life probably Zoey and I are already living a happy family. Now because of what have you done before I cannot take her back within my arms because she hated me so much." Michael was very much angry while saying this to the person who became the reason for all this mess.

"So you're telling me at all these receipts of flowers and chocolates," America grabbed all the receipts she compiled on the table, "were all delivered to Zoey. Things that you never did to me?" and then throw it to Michael's face.

"You're too ambitious America, why would I waste my money to do that to you? I weren't even my girlfriend." He smirked disgustingly towards America that makes her feel even worst.

"You… never… consider me… as your girlfriend?" she stuttered saying this because tears started to fall from her eyes.

"Yes never! Why would I keep you as my girlfriend if you are my most hated person on earth? I'm not that stupid America." He spread his arm around his apartment and showed that there wasn't even a single picture of her hanging or displayed in his house. Not a single reminder that he has a special someone except Zoey 15th birthday. In this picture, Zoey was hugging a human-sized bear he gave to her. During that time, he saved up all his allowances to buy that bear.

"But why?" America fell on her knees from desperation and sadness. "Why did you introduced me to your family??" She asked.

"Because you asked me too. I'm already irritated and annoyed to your fucking hints that you to meet my mom and dad." Michael poked her forehead with might force that made her fall to the floor.

"How about during the wedding? Why did you bring me there?" Tears fall down her eyes like waterfalls.

"Because I want to see her see us together and feel jealous about us. America can't you see? I just used you!" She thought that her mom is the harshest person living, but she was wrong the man that she loved the most will give her an extreme pain that is ever recorded.

"You can continue your howling outside my apartment. I'm tired and never come back again."

"Also, stop saying that you're my fiancé, I never proposed to you and will never be. We're done even if there is really not us."
