Chapter 9

Serena Cesantio I have a photoshoot today and my hairstylist is currently doing my hair. I decided to scroll through the news because it's been a long time since I checked what's going on with the world. Politics.. Economy.. Sports and lastly there's a section for us only which is crazy. I clicked on the Gold Lifes section and the first news was 'Where is Caleb Lemiere?', I felt something weird in my heart but I still decided to keep reading the article. The Lemiere have been attending a lot of events lately but there is a question that always pop out from our mind when we see them. Where is Caleb Lemiere? Caleb Lemiere can't be seen since 2 weeks ago and no one knows where he is except his family. We tried to contact the Gold Lifes headquarters to ask about his whereabouts but they never answer it. People are wondering where he is and a little worried about his condition. What is the Lemiere hiding from us? My heart crunched, he wasn't playing. I can't believe this! I scrolled the article and found a lot of photos where the Lemiere came to an event without him. Why didn't I notice that? I tried not to find him because I don't want to see him or want to have contact with him but I think this is too much. He just disappeared from this world. I decided to call Athena to ask about it because I never thought he would be this serious to disappear. "Hello." "Hey Athena." "Hey Serena, what's up?" She asked. "Where is Caleb now?" I asked in a really curious tone. "He.. uhmm.." "Just tell me, it's okay." I said because I really want to know. "He moved to Canada. He said he wanted to fully take over the Lemiere headquarters there." That got me speechless. I mean Canada is not that far but still.. he moved? "We tried to keep it from you but you noticed it quite fast." She said. "Why do you all want to keep it away from me? Am I the only one that doesn't know this?" I asked in an angry tone. "Sorry Serena." I sighed when I heard she said that. "For good?" I asked. "We don't know." "I'm sorry." I bet his family doesn't like the idea of him moving but because of me. "He hurt you so.. that's the punishment that he has to take.. I guess." But this is too much. Why does our relationship have to be this complicated? "Look Serena, it's not your fault. It was his choice and besides the headquarters in Canada needs someone to manage it for a while." Athena said in a really careful tone. "Thankyou.. Athena." "I know it's not my place to say something about your relationship with my brother but.. as a sister, I saw that he really likes you but he just doesn't know how to express and treat you like one. He's still looking for himself because he's young and you too. You need time, so does he. If you think that he doesn't like you, you're wrong, Serena. He cares but he just doesn't know how." She said and I sighed. "Thankyou, Athena." I said and ended the call. I looked at myself at the mirror not knowing how to express what I feel inside. Hate. Anger. Sadness. Worried. Guilty. Oh God.. I never thought he will take his actions to another whole level. I guess.. we do need time to think.. to heal our hearts.. to move on.. I bet he won't be that long in Canada right? Please tell me that he won't be that long. "Serena, you're all set." My stylist said and I nodded. I got up and started to work but I can't concentrate fully. I kept worrying Caleb inside my head. The thoughts of him make me worry and stress. I know I should've been happy because he's out of my life for a while but somehow I feel anxious in a weird way. Oh God.. Serena, what exactly do you want? You want him out from your life and when he's out, you want him around. What's wrong with me? God, I hate this feeling. What's wrong with us? Screwed each other.. and then enemy.. but still can't move on with each other.. and then he left.. what's next? I drank my cocktail while staring at the beautiful view from a famous new bar. I took a really deep breath and I took out my phone from my pocket. I turned it on and looked at Caleb's phone number again and again. I swear.. I'm acting weird ever since I know the fact that he moved to Canada. "If Caleb is what you're thinking about.. it's useless." I turned to see my brother, Zion, sipping his cocktail too "You don't need to hate him." "Well.. he's not a real man. He ran away from his own problem." "We both need this." I said and my brother laughed dryly. "Don't even think about being with him again. He's a good guy when it comes to friendship but an asshole when it comes to love. I don't care if he hurts a tons of girl outside but he hurt you." I smiled when he said that. I sipped my cocktail. "I think.. we won't find our way to be together again." I said but my heart denies it inside. "Good because.. I don't want that." He said and he walked inside. I put my cocktail down and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Won't find our way to be together.." I repeated.
