I Am Not Your Keyword - Chapter 7

Chapter 7 "You're nothing but a loser to me, so why act all high and mighty?" Aurora hissed. "Do you honestly think doing this will make you two last? It won't! As long as I'm around, you will never last." "I know." I shrugged. "That's why I kicked him to the curb. Instead, I wish you two a long and happy life together." By then, our roles had reversed. She became the anxious performer trapped in the drama, while I became an indifferent bystander. "What do you want from him?" she demanded, her voice cracked. "You're so completely unremarkable.

I don't understand why he keeps chasing after you." I stood up to leave, speaking lazily over my shoulder. " Maybe he's just the type of guy who can never get over his ex." Unconvinced, she chased after me. "Wait! Show me your phone. You're still flirting with him, aren't you?" "Are you out of your mind?" I snapped, shoving her away. "T turned down a job offer in Korulville just to move here for him!" she shrieked. "He can't treat me like this!" I paused, realization dawning on me. So, her ulterior motives had started way back then.

There really was no guarding against someone obsessed with stealing what wasn't theirs. "You homewrecker! Why can't you just leave us alone? " Her shrill scream drew stares from bystanders on the sidewalk. I had never seen anyone so shameless in my entire life. Without another word, I slapped her across the face. Thin and frail, she couldn't withstand the attack. She tumbled awkwardly onto the pavement. Right then, Harrison emerged from the café. "Harrison, it hurts so much!" she wailed pitifully, clutching her cheek.

I watched coldly as Harrison strode toward me, bracing myself for the blow I assumed was coming. Instead, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me away. "Did she hurt you?" he asked with concern. lyanked my hand out of his grip. "I'm fine." He breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately stepped in front of Aurora as she scrambled toward us. "What did I tell you? Why did you come here to harass her?" Aurora lunged at him, hitting and clawing at his chest. "Why did you block my number?" she sobbed hysterically, breaking down like a child. "How could you treat me like this?

Do you have any idea what I've been through these past few days?" Around Harrison, she had never needed to put up a front or fake maturity. But the man wasn't willing to take her back anymore. She couldn't fathom why he had changed. "I moved to this city all for you! Do you have any idea how much I gave up?" Her gut-wrenching screech made Harrison frown in annoyance. "Did I ever ask you to do any of that?" _"Listen to yourself! Are you even human?" Aurora slapped him hard across the face.
