He stepped into the shop, palely, confused and frustrated. He was greeted by Emily, but he was not himself, he looked fierce, to her.
I don’t know anything. I don’t know where is she?
Tell me what you know. Who is he?
I really don’t know anything!
Emily looked scared. She’s manning the music shop alone and I guess she’s just scared that Marcus would go berserk there. She assured him that she knew nothing about it. Marc knew that she knew more that she was telling and Emily knew that too. She was just hoping to keep him at bay to prevent anything happening.
Marc left, leaving Emily breathing a sigh of relieve. Marc grabbed his helmet and jumped on to his bike. He ignited his bike and put it to gear one set off to the road. His mind’s blank as he rode on the road. His big bike roared as he sped on the road
Selena called him the day before, breaking up with him. He was stunned, for he did not noticed anything wrong. Marc was dazed and did not know what to say. After Selena finished, she just hung up and Marc was still holding on to his cell phone, still in disbelieve. A sudden rush of impulse went to his hands, like a sudden rush of speed and anger, his cell phone landed against the wall, breaking into pieces as it landed on the floor.
His friend has been telling him that there must be something wrong for they only meet during week days and weekends are like free and easy. Marc dismisses all those remarks, setting aside all the doubt and believing Selena.
With her words still ringing in his ears and lingering in his mind, tears began to flood in his eyes. He blinks to try to focus on the road and the tears started rolling down his cheek, inside, wetting his full face that was hugging his head. As he sped through the highway, he kept blinking his eyes to try to clear his vision.
He disclosed the front panel of his full face to wipe the tears with his leather gloves. As he clears the tears, he realized that a trailer was right in front of him, less than a hundred meters away. He knew he could not avoid it in any way, with a terrifying shriek of the tyres trying to grip the roads as he engaged fully on his brakes, skidding in the direction of the trailer.
Marc closes his eyes, not knowing his fate. His bike hits the trailer with a loud bang and in a split second, he followed. The moment as he engaged the brakes with all his might, time seemed to have frozen to a complete stop. Everything seems to have slowed down, to an almost complete halt.
As his bike skidded on its side towards the trailer, Selena’s words played back again.
I’m sorry Marcus, I’ve not been truthful.
I was going out with someone at the same time as I was going out with you
I did not pick anyone of you, I choose to let go, both of you.
I’m sorry.
Goodbye.
