Chapter 2

A week had pass since that night happened, and up until now, no Chadrick Wilders showed up. I was left alone here with a lousy excuse of breaking up, no further explanation, nothing else, nothing more. Even his things are still here, the table of which our coffee breakfast is now empty. The clothes I haven't washed up, I thought if he's here, maybe this apartment is clean.

But here I am, waiting, as if waiting for a dead person to comeback home after buried under it's grave. But, the person I am waiting is not dead, above all Chadrick is healthy.

Being alone here makes me remember old memories about us, and I can't help it. About those simple days doing nothing, lying in sofa doing nothing, listening to his composition about some good days and in love lyrics, about the days of how we met, the way we were, the way he is that made I me fall in love with him. His stuffs are still here, guitar and keyboard, his notes on lyrics and his smell. Darn, I miss him already. Just staring at this empty place makes me sleepy. It's hurting in my chest, so bad.

Three year ago......

" oh my God!" I bursted out of my frustration, almost throwing the folders I collected to my students on my desk of which I usually sitted on during my lunch break or working on checking students piled up files and activities that have been passing through the semester.

"Haha. Man, students these days are so much tiring. I remember when I was in college I usually skip class but deadline is deadline. But the students of today? Man, they sure party alot then getting frustrated to their teachers and professors for being devil in deadline. I wish they see us working at night even if its already our rest time. Right, Yaeil? " co-professor Dolan Nang said.

Well, I know he is complaining, actually, I am complaining too. All my frustrations and stress, they are being piled up on the bears I buy in some department stores and even at some night market. Yes, I am a hard-core bear collector. I have no idea when and how this habit has kicked me but, sometimes I do wish to see some bears, from Poland or everywhere where there is snow, coffee and bear.

"Haha. True. I never would've like to be a student in college these days. But their works and activities are getting more harder than ours way back." I reply to his comment on my frustrated outlook earlier.

Professor Dolan smiled grinningly and said " Hey, why don't we go have some clubbing tonight?" chuckling while arm are on my shoulder. I look at other professors, as if asking for some back up. But since I'm one of the youngest in the office, I know that I will fail to look for some reason not to go to.

"I think that's a good idea!" one of our co-professor bursted while stretching at his table.

"C'mon, man. you gotta come with us. You can't run today" he teased to me, laughing.

"Ugh. Okay. But I will just have to go home early, I want to rest early." I said wanting some guarantee to my spurted words. And they laugh thinking that I am a workaholic.

But to be honest, I am making another persona out of me every time I get drunk. And is what I am hiding all these years.
