I had already forgotten the name of the horror movie we were watching. Anyway, it was one of those films that was so disgusting that by the end, you still didn’t know what it was about! If someone had just eaten, a word of advice: don’t choose this kind of movie, or the service staff responsible for cleaning the room will hate you for life. Because Felicia was like that, not only did she throw up everywhere, but even MACO next to her was caught in the crossfire.
“Are you okay?” Maco asked with concern.
“I’m fine!” Although that was the answer, Felicia’s face was very pale.
Originally, I was watching with a mindset of enjoying the show, but seeing Felicia like that, I felt a bit… heartbroken. She carefully poured a glass of water for Felicia and handed her a tissue. I had never seen her delicate side, but at this moment, it was laid bare.
In fact, she was a very understanding girl, hiding an unstable heart beneath her lively and generous exterior. Coming from a single-parent family, she might have lacked paternal love since childhood, leading her to crave that feeling, resulting in excessive dependence on her partner.
Her boyfriend was nearly ten years older, had a stable job, and treated her very well. However, due to the age difference, he always treated her like a child. Compared to girls her age, she was very mature. This was true in terms of thoughts, social experience, and interactions. What I feared was that because her boyfriend didn’t have time to accompany her, she would just let me fill that so-called void and her temporarily lacking heart.
“What are you thinking about, Collins?” Maco suddenly turned to ask me.
Afraid she would see through my thoughts, I quickly snapped back to reality, pretending nothing had happened.
“Oh! It’s nothing! Felicia is okay now, right?” I deliberately shifted the topic.
“Yeah!” She gave a simple answer and continued watching the screen.
Finally, it was over. After her simple response, I returned to my contemplative state, and after about seven minutes, I reached a conclusion. The things I had thought about earlier were based on my understanding of her and did not represent her personal stance.
Huh? It’s over! I couldn’t figure out what it was about? I only knew that this horror movie made everyone feel nauseous. Because someone threw up, and others saw it too. So… it was quite uncomfortable.
The time was 5:47 PM, and everyone decided to leave. I accompanied her to the station, helped her buy a ticket, and sat with her on a bench, waiting for the train to arrive.
“Time flies so fast, just like that… Were you happy being with me?” It was usually her who spoke first, and it was always a question that was hard to answer.
“I was very happy. What about you?” These six short words took me a long time to say.
“I was too, thank you.” As she finished speaking, the train had already stopped at the second platform. She stood up and walked towards the ticket gate leading to the platform. I also got up, watching her departing figure.
The distance between us grew further and further apart. I had so much I wanted to say to her, but as I saw her about to pass through the ticket gate, I still couldn’t bring myself to say everything I wanted to. I comforted myself, telling myself there would be another chance. Suddenly, she turned around and shouted.
“I like you, Collins! I really do!” After saying that, she had already passed through the ticket gate. In that moment, I was stunned. I saw her secretly wipe away her tears and walk away quickly. To be honest, everyone present probably heard her; they might be wondering who this Collins guy was. I didn’t feel embarrassed (or should I feel happy?), I was just thinking, when did a girl ever cry for me? To confess her feelings like that.
How I wished I could tell her my true feelings! After all, I am a person with emotions too. I could only say that I didn’t want to put her in a difficult position. Although I wouldn’t ask her to make a choice, he would have to make a decision, wouldn’t he?
