Teacher's Girl (Aflyingwhale)

Chapter 90: Little Lies 

EMMA’s POV : 

I waited for three days.

I didn’t leave my room and I cried nonstop.

Tristan and Sophie tried everything to cheer me up, but I just wanted to be alone.

For three days and three nights, I couldn’t sleep and I could barely eat.

I only left my room to take my exams, but that was it.

lan didn't come to see me or even call me.

Not even once.

I was in denial at first.

I thought, surely he would call.

Surely he would apologize.

But he never did.

He really wanted out of our relationship.

I didn’t see this coming at all.

I should have.

The signs were all there.

Ever since he moved to New York City and started that gallery with her, that was all he could ever talk about.

They were together twenty four seven.

Clearly, they were into each other.

It was only a matter of time.

And now it was done, there was no denying it.

He chose her.

And why would he not? She was beautiful and smart.

They were great friends.

Life with her would be easier and less complicated.

I guess she gave him things I couldn't give to him.

After three days of punishing myself and wallowing in my heartbreak, I got a call that would change the course of my life.

At first, I thought it was lan, but it was actually the dean of my department.

She congratulated me, telling me that I got into the Paris program.

She explained everything in detail, how the program works and what my next steps would be like.

When she asked me if I had any questions, I told her I have just one.

"How soon can I leave?"

"The program itself starts in the fall, but you can leave as soon as you're done with your finals.Paris is beautiful in the summer.You'll have a wonderful time exploring the city,"she said.

Long story short, I took her advice.

In the next few days, I finished my finals, booked a ticket and Airbnb, and packed my bags.

I said goodbye to Tristan and Sophie, we had dinner together and Sophie was balling her eyes out, saying that she'll come to visit me in Paris.

I also talked to my parents on the phone, they were supportive of my decision and they told me to call every week, and I agreed to it.

Everything was set and done, I was ready to go.

Of course, I couldn’t just go without saying goodbye to lan.

Despite our terrible falling out, it didn't feel right leaving without saying anything.

I thought about going to the city and talk to him in person, but after our last conversation, I didn’t think I could see his face any more.
