CHAPTER 83
MASON
It’s been a week now since I last saw Avery and spoke to her.
Ever since then I haven’t talked to my parents or anyone.
I even shut myself from everyone including Roy, Westley and Oliver. I have been ignoring their calls since.
Even when they came to see me I didn’t allow them to enter. All I just wanted to do was just be on my own.
My face held no emotion but coldness. I haven’t even seen Arianna and I was grateful she didn’t bother me this week.
I was just staring at nothing in particular, the only thing that has been on my mind was Avery.
The way she looked at me with so much hurt on her face.
I was already sick both physically, mentally and emotionally.
I’ve not been feeling well but nobody knew because I didn’t want anyone to see me.
Now this evening I’m having dinner with my parents and Arianna’s parents.
“I miss her so much” but I’ve already accepted my fate.
A week without seeing her felt like the joke in my chest kept getting deeper and wider.
I’ve totally fallen into depression because I really recognize myself these days.
I hardly smile, eat or socialize with anyone.
I sighed,
I needed to get my things because there’s no use of it being there because I’m not going back .
My engagement with Arianna has already been announced publicly and I knew Avery must have seen it.
I took my keys about to enter my car when I saw Arianna.
I didn’t even acknowledge that someone was there.
“Are you going somewhere?” She asked but I just ignored her.
I was just too tired to get any words from my mouth.
I entered my car but she was quick to hop in
“Where are you going?”
I started the car as I drove out of my Mansion.
Arianna kept talking but I didn’t reply .
When I couldn’t bear it anymore I brought out my airpod blocking my two ears.
Playing a rap song that matches my emotions, putting it in the highest volume as I drive faster.
I didn’t even turn to Arianna till I reached my destination.
It was already late .
I removed the airpod as I got down from the car.
Arianna quickly came to wrap her hand around mine.
I was about to push it away but this is something I should get used to since she’s going to be my wife.
I knew they’ll all be in the cafeteria considering it’s time for lunch.
As I made my way there screams started
🗣️ Ohh my God it’s Mason and Arianna
🗣️ Heard they’re getting engaged next week.
🗣️ They look so cute together
I turned a deaf ear to whatever they were saying, keeping the same emotionless face while Arianna was there smiling as if she had won a prize.
I walked to the cafeteria searching for Oliver, Roy and Westley.
Immediately my eyes saw them and I made my way there.
Immediately I reached their table I avoided all contact with Avery because she was sitting there with Hannah, her best friend.
Her head was down as she looked at her fingers.
“Hey guys”
I said not smiling as they all hugged me, pushing Arianna away and I was grateful for that
“Are you here to stay?”
“We missed you bro?”
“You made us worried”
“I’m sorry about that but I didn’t come here to stay but to get my things .”
“Why Mason, the program isn’t over. And you look colder than before “.
Westley turned to Arianna looking furious.
“This is all your fault, what the h’ll did you do to him?” He screamed.
“Just came to tell you guys also you are invited to our engagement of you want to came”
“Till then see you guys later”
With that I walked away leaving them stunned. I’m sure they are shocked with my behavior because I’ve never been this way to them before.
But you can’t blame me , ever since that night I last saw Avery I lost a part and every emotion leaving me emotionless.
I didn’t even remember Arianna as I walked to the building packing my things .
Putting it in my car I drove out of there not even bothering if Arianna was here or not.
