---- yourself. If anyone dares to bully you, you can just tell me and I'll immediately fly back to beat them up for you." Two teardrops slid down silently and dripped onto the diary page, smudging the writing. Madeline put her thoughts away and suppressed the noise in her head. Then, she tore every page and letter in that diary into tiny pieces. With every page torn from her diary, that meant another memory with Timothy had also been destroyed. After tearing through every single page, she threw the scrap papers into a box and sealed it up. Then, she brought the box downstairs and threw it out. She wanted to erase every last trace of her existence, including the memories she once shared with him. Possibly due to the constant stress from the last two days, or maybe it was the change in the weather-but ever since throwing the memories away, Madeline couldn't stop shaking. ---- Her stomach also started hurting from time to time. Thinking that it was just her period arriving earlier than usual, Madeline went on a hunt for a cafe nearby to grab a warm, soothing drink. However, as soon as she reached the cafe entrance, she suddenly found the two people sitting by the window looking a little more than familiar. Timothy, who was supposed to be away right now, was currently on a date with Lacey. Madeline felt her heart lurch. She froze in her spot on instinct. It wasn't until she snapped back to her senses that she walked slowly to the corner and stood there, watching them. Timothy wasn't wearing his formal suit today. He was in casual clothing instead, wearing a baggy gray jersey with a pair of black leather shoes on his feet. He had a suitcase right next to him too, so he must have just gotten off his flight and come here at once. Madeline didn't know what they were talking ---- about because of the window between them. However, judging from the fond look on Timothy's face, they seemed very happy to be together. Timothy held Lacey's hand in his own almost too naturally at this point. Every intimate action between them both was like driving a spear through Madeline's eyes. He had just called her and told her that he wouldn't be back for another few days. But minutes later, she caught him red-handed ona date with another woman. What was going on? Did Timothy like going out behind her back now? Madeline's hand, still holding her phone, began to shake. She looked up again and immediately was met with Timothy's smiling eyes, just as he looked at Lacey with great fondness. Suddenly, his eyes flashed with a hint of anxiety when he saw Madeline. She felt as though someone was crushing her heart from the inside. It hurt so badly that she clutched a hand to her left chest and gasped for ---- breath, unable to breathe.
