Leaving (Last Chance Cont.)

This is a continuation of Last Chance (from previous chapter)

Lorelei's POV

"Yes Al, thank you so much." I said to my childhood friend before ending our call.

"I understand that you'll keep a distance from me since that night but is moving out from this apartment really necessary?" My roommate, Loki with a bored look said while putting his book down on the coffee table.

You're curious what happened that night? Well, I just did the stupidest thing I've ever did in my life- to confess. Yes, I did. Stupid right? Well, I just thought that after all those years that I let him alone and just be there for him, to make him feel my presence... I thought it's the right time to confess to him (with the influence of alcohol for bravery).

"Don't think that it's the reason I'm moving out. I told you before didn't I? That I'm going to move to Alistair's place. The condo unit my father has been telling me before when he's still alive."

I walked towards my room to check my things and put my phone but before I could even step inside Loki spoke with a hint of frustration on his voice "You said next month not tomorrow."

I glanced at him and said "Well, tomorrow and next month doesn't have any difference. So there's no reason why I have to do it next month when I can do it now." I'm ignoring him for weeks now the reason of his slight irritation in his cold voice.

"We both know the reason why you're making your transfer fast. I know I hurt you and I'm sorry for that but do you have to end our friendship like this?"

"Loki I'm not ending our friendship!" I said facing him now. "It's just that this place feels suffocating now. It doesn't give me the peace it used to be before. You know the gap that night created. It isn't the way we used to be before. I feel more uncomfortable the more I stay here."

He stayed silent after I said that. Looking at me like he's tired of these things. I know Loki because I am too. I'm tired from this set up that's why I'm leaving. I wiped a lone tear that i didn't noticed falling on the side of my cheek. I sighed and turned my back on him.

"Please don't make this hard for me more. You're not helping me at all. I did everything for you before and now, it's your turn to do a thing for me. I hope you'll give me this. I want to stay away from everything for now. So let me."

And also, I want to stay away from you...

I said in my mind before I step inside my room and closed the door.
