A little something

I like writing stories, but sometimes I get pretty lazy. So one-shot are the best.

Her shopping cart.


Numbly. she walked into a random supermarket nearby. This wasn't happen to her, it was all a dream right? She just happened to be sleep walking was she? Grabbing the shopping cart, she felt just as empty. He didn't say that right?

`
"Look, I am really sorry. I know I should have told you earlier but I really couldn't find the right time." He shifted his foot uncomfortably. 

She knew. She knew what he was going to say next. Suddenly meeting her when they haven't met for weeks? This was not good. "Forget it." She tried to steady her shaking voice, while she grabbed his hand. "Just," A sigh escaped as she pursed her lips. "forget it. Don't say anything ok? Let's go get some-"

"Let's just go separate ways. I am" Gently, he pushes her hand away and look down to his shoelaces. She closed her eyes, waiting. It was going to happen anyways, just shoot and let her die. 

"...seeing someone else." 

"Bye." She shot before running off to nowhere.

"Jean!" He shouted but she was nowhere to be found. She disappeared, just like how it was with his heart. His feelings for her had already disappeared a long time ago.

`
She really wanted to put up a strong front. To say "Hope you'll be happy with her" but at that point she didn't  knew what she was doing, how she was supposed to feel?

The answer was quite obvious to her, but she didn't want to acknowledge it. With her eyes feeling moist, she pushed her shopping cart around slowly, looking at the shelves of packet food.

`
Lays potato chips.

He frequently bought those over to her home even when she had said many times, she wanted Roller coaster rings. 

"But these are so much nicer, with more flavours and are more crispier!" He would retorted back, trying to win their little debate. It would end up with him saying sorry and tickling her till she forgave him. 

They would then snuggle up in the couch and watched whatever movie or show that was on that day. Half the time it was him complaining about the plot and joked that she was ogling at the cute guy character. She would confiscate his Lays and run off with it.

`
She stared at the chips for half a minute before she threw two packets into her cart and head off to another sector.
