Chapter29 Let me be the one
When there was 'US' [EDITING}
"Meilyn? I need your help"
"For what Aeira?" she asked on the other line
"I-it's about C-Chanyeol" I was almost too embarass to tell her this.For one,because I didn't trust her before but now,she's the one I'm asking for help how ridiculous of me.
"Text me your location.I'll be there in 5 minutes" she told me and hang up first.I did what she said and texted her where I am.
She did arrive on time like she said.I felt relieved as soon as I saw her,she is the only one I could trust on this,if I tell Minhi,she'll kill Chanyeol on the spot for sure,so Meilyn is my best and only choice.
"Thank you for coming for such a short notice" I expressed my gratitude with a bow
"Tell me" she spoke softly
"Chan...Chanyeol,he's been ....cold and distant lately" I frowned and looked down at my hands "I.....I think he's fallen out of love from me" i said with my voice shaking terribly
"What do I do Meilyn??I love him" emotions starts taking over as I started to sob "I thought that after examinations,we'll be back to normal.I used to tell and convince myself that he's just busy and tired and he's having a hard time at work but when I called a while ago,he didn't want to talk to me,he even raised his voice at me" my sobs became heavier as I talk,Meilyn kept rubbing my back trying her hardest to comfort me
"What should I do Meilyn?" I whispered
I heard her sigh and she suddenly hugged me
"You know what to do Aeira,you're thinking about it right now but you're doubting it cause there's still a slight hope in you,that he might change and it will be back to the way it was and because you love him.But Aeira,Chanyeol's stupid,you don't deserve this.Will you keep hanging around until he calls the break up even after it's clear he doesn't want you anymore or will you be the one calling it off to avoid further more heartbreak??" her words were sharp and blunt but it made sense,and it hurts cause she has a point
"Remember what I told you last time?" she asked my hair.I nod
"Your call Aeira" she said and released me from her arms,she wiped my tears and smiled at me with a glimpse of sympathy in her eyes.
"Go home,think about it." she told me and I nod. We stood up from the bench we were sitting and we part ways
I have a lot of thinking to do tonight..
I woke up unsure.Unsure of what to do and unsure how to even contact Chanyeol.After what happened last night,reaching out to him seems.......hard.
But I have to,I'm putting my whole pride on the line here.Either we talk this out and settle things or end this.....
I still have hope somewhere inside me,actually,that's all I can do right now,hope.
Hope that everything will be okay.Hope that we'll settle things and be back to the way we were.Hope that he still loves me.
Chanyeol,I believe in you.I believe in us,so please
I sighed inwardly and dialed Chanyeol's number.
"What?" he answered quickly but snapped at me
"Uh...Chanyeol,you...you said we can talk today?" I stuttered,trying to control my voice from shaking.I heard him sigh in the other line before answering "I'm free after lunch onwards.I'll text you then.I'm hanging up,please do tell ahead of time if you're calling" and with that,he hang up on me. I sighed feeling disappointed that his attitude towards me is still the same but relieved that we can finally talk.So right now,all I can do is wait.
And wait..
And wait..
And wait..
And wait..

God damnit Park Chanyeol it's already 6 in the ing evening!!
Frustration filled me.
I texted him
Chanyeol 3
Chanyeol meet me at the park and you better show up or so help me god!
I quickly pressed send and didn't wait for his reply and started walking out of the house to the park.The park full of memories
Our Happy Place
I thought to myself as I try to remember how we first got there,how I brought him there,told him about my past and why I like spending my time along in that place.And when he told me that I shouldn't spend time alone there anymore cause I have him
Chanyeol,what happened to us??
(AN:From here onwards play the song Let me be the one by Jullie Anne San Jose if you know it.If not,well,play it :D)
I sat at our spot under the big tree,where we always sit.
I hold back my tears as memories starts flooding my mind.Memories of how we first met,how he first talked to me,how we became friends shortly after we just met,and how we started this whole relationship.
I can still remember how our first 'Hang out' went.We went to the mall and people thought that we were a couple because he held my hand,he held me close but it didn't bother me that much because I felt safe around him.
And it was also the first time I bought him here.
And let's not forget the time when I first met his friends,his crazy gang.Well that was some experience.I never thought there would be 11 other good looking boys besides from him,but he is the most handsome for me.
Oh and when he got jealous ok Kai!!!Well that was something!That became our first official non-couple fight,but we settle things afterwards and in this place.
There's so much more.And I don't think I can live thinking that all of that will be just a mere memory of Chanyeol and I's relationship.That we can't make new ones,that this is the end.
But it is.
He no longer loves me,he no longer want me,he no longer has time for me,he doesn't make efforts that he used to,he doesn' want me anymore.He's fallen out of love from me.
And I have to do this.For our sake
If he really loves me,he won't let me go,if he really loves me he won't let me do this.If he really loves me,I'll accept any alibi that he says as long as it's for the sake of saving our relationship.
Yes,I love him this much.That I am willing to put my whole pride on the line.
But I need him to feel the same way.
Because I won't keep him in a relationship he's no longer happy with.
A tear finally escaped my eyes and I quickly wiped them of.I don't want Chanyeol to see me crying when he comes
Which I hope will be any minute now.
I waited maybe 30 minutes before I finally caught a glimpse of Chanyeol walking towards me
"Aeira,this better be important.You know I have lots of works to-"
"It's always like that Chanyeol.It seems like that's the only thing you say to me this days" I cut him off letting out my frustrations finally
"You know it's true Aeira!Do I need to explain myself over and over again?!" he yelled at me
"Do you even remember that we're supposed to meet this afternoon??That you were supposed to text me?!" I shot back at him
"I got caught up from work!!" He resorted
"This is not the first time Chanyeol!You always say that you'll make it up to me then forget about it and still I get the blame??!!For what?!For disturbing you?Well sorry if I want atleast a little time from my boyfriend!!" I let out my anger at him and held back no emotions,this is it.It's now or never.
Tears escaped my eyes.The place where I spent my time admiring the quietness is now full of noise.Two people shouting at each other,getting caught up in their argument.
"If you don't like it this way Aeira you can just-"
"Break up with you?" I continued his sentence fo him,he kept mum for a while just looking at me
"Is that what you've been expecting this whole time?Did you see it coming?Did you anticipate it?Or better yet,did you plan it?Why?You don't have the guts to break up with me instead?" I say between my shaking voice,my sobs became heavier.
"Aeira,it's not like that" he trailed his expression softened,it seemed like realization hit him.
He pulled me into a hug,a warm hug.A hug that I have missed so much.His arms that I've missed so much.How I wish it could be like this forever.But it can't
"I'm sorry Chanyeol but........I think we need to stop this"I said in a low voice
"What do you mean?" he pulled away and stared at me with pain visible in his eyes
"Let's break up Chanyeol" I finally said it
It pains me to be the one doing it but,this is the right thing.There's no other way.
"No no no.Aeira I'll make it up you I promise.Please don't do this" he began crying as he pulled me back to his arms,hugging me tightly with no intentions of letting go.
Why now Chanyeol??Why now that I have made up my mind?Why didn't you hold me tight like this when I needed you?You should've held tight to our relationship but no!You let it slip!
"This is for the best Chanyeol.If we really love each other then we'll find our way back."
"Bull!Then why still let this go if we're just gonna be back together?!" he argued
"We need to do this Chanyeol,for us to know if it's really meant to be.If we're really meant to be.We have to let go.I'm sorry" I pulled away from the hug and cupped his face
"When you're ready,when you're no longer busy,when you have sort your proiorities properly,come back to me.I'll be waiting.I promise" with that,I leaned close and kissed him.
One last kiss
"I love you"
A final tear escaped my eye and I pulled away,I turned away and ran away from the scene
Goodbye Chanyeol....
I love you
I'll wait for you
I promise
--
I promised didn't I ? It's you who didn't keep your promise
AN
