Part 2

 Lets hear the POV of Arthur

Have you ever felt breathless once you saw a person. A person you never saw ever in your life. A person who wears all black and 'gothic' make-up (that sort). An unknown who's not even my type made me breathless on the day I made everyone else breathless. 

It felt like i've been under some kind of spell. I. Can't. Stop. Thinking. About. Her.

I asked around about this person. After two weeks of seeking, as I was giving up, there she was, under a tree, reading. She looks more like a person without those eyeliners. This is my chance! 

"Hey...

Fast forward to our latest conversation.

She did have a valid point. How do you its 'freedom' if you never experienced it. So, I decided to try to ignore people tomorrow. 

Tomorrow..

I've been avoiding people in general. Even texts and calls. For the first few hours, it felt nice to be able to do whatever you want without judgements and a massive crowd. Then, it felt boring doing things on your own. I kinda miss my friends but only a few of them texted me about where ive been. Hurm.. 

Maybe that was what she meant by lonely. I can't imagine myself doing this for the rest of my life. I am free from sceptical comments and judgements but it doesn't feel right without it. I should try it again tomorrow.

That night, 3 of my close friends waited for me in front of my room. They bring along good food and some beer. 

Zack: We need to talk. 

James: It doesn't feel right, you avoiding us. Did we do anything wrong?

Ar: Come in. You guys did nothing, I just felt like I wanted my own space today.

Mia: You made us worry. You never acted this way. Is it the girl's condition for you to be with her? I knew she was bad news. 

Ar: Let's not go there. She had nothing to do with it. I mean, some of it? Well, I told her that I was amazed at how free she is. She's always alone and mind her own business. Nothing bothers her. 

James: Seriously? You wanted to be lonely just to be free from 'judgements'. 

Zack: How's alone treating you today? If you don't need us, just let us know. We wouldn't be worry sick about your ass being selfish.

Ar: Wait, wait... It felt..lonely and I hate it when my own thoughts sound so loud. I guess I did found peace for a while. I just wanted to understand how it felt to be like her. 

Mia: I don't think she's a good influence to you. 

Ar: She did warn me. She must have felt very lonely every day. I need to see her. 

Zack: Now?

Ar: Now! You guys wait here, i'll be back. 

Arthur rush to where Amelia's working. 

As he arrived, he saw Amelia is locking the door. Then, Amelia saw Arthur from a distance. Instead of walking towards him, she turned and walked away. Classic Amelia. 

Ar: Hey, wait! *ran to her

Am: I'm kinda busy tonight. Just go home.

Ar: I tried! I tried being alone today. 

Am:*stares

Ar: Being alone is not for me. I felt dreadful after a few hours.  

Am: I told you so. You can cross that off your list. 

Ar: I need to understand why.

Am: I need to go.

Ar: WHY?! You just love to push people away. Why?

Am: You, out of all people, have NO rights to force me to tell why. 

Ar: Just...let me in.. It took me 2 weeks to find you again. It took months for me to actually know your full name. 

Am: Are you asking the right questions? Why am I at fault? You are blaming me for something I didn't do. I'm sorry if you are Mr Perfect Guy but i did tell you, I barely associate with 'you people'. You never asked my full name. You never acknowledge that knowing me could somehow significant to your life. 

Ar: I like you. Can't you fucking see? Are you blind? What more clues do you need?

Am: I'm so sorry but it's not mutual. *left, running away

-Text to Amelia-

I believe in faith. I'm not much of a believer before I met you.

When I first saw you, you took my breath away. I know it sounds bullshit but that's what happened. You were not even my type. I never find someone who wears a full gothic outfit, attractive. Yet, here I am, begging you for a chance. Something about you made me insane. I asked around if anyone might know you but never seems to find you until one day, God leads me to you while being punched by some boyfriend (another story). If he punched me the other way, I might not have seen you. 

I know, we barely know each other. All I ask is one chance. Just as friends. 

I know you do not have much experience with friends so let me show you what you are missing out on. You might find me intriguing. 

-Reply from Amelia-

i'll think about it.
