"What were you expecting? An happy ending to your silly love story? What? Answer me! " Simon raged.
He gazed at the white envelope she held so tightly.
"I curse the day you met that bastard" He mumbled.
Her eyes were filed with tears.
There was no way she was accepting this as a goodbye.
"I-i-i need to find him, I need to get an explanation"
The desperation on her face said it all, she wasn't ready to give up on him so easily.
Simon raised his hands but stopped midway.
There was a bigger problem at hand, he had to make sure their mum doesn't find out about that miserable guy.
"Mum will be home in an hour Mia, and I am sure you won't want her opinion on this"
"Make sure to keep that woman out of my business"
It wasn't the pitiful face anymore, instead it was an expression of insatiable anger.
It was clear and undeniable, and deep down, he felt it- the same hatred Mia harbor, but he was not going to believe that he had also come to hate their mother, not after all the love he had for her.
HOLLYWOOD, L. A

"Your eyes look really weary, have you been crying? "
"Hannah, he finally sent a letter" Mia informed as tears formed.
"He sent you a letter? What's in it? " Hannah inqiuired.
"What I feared"
"What you feared? What in the world is the meaning of all this Mia, it's difficult to understand you"
"He-he-he-he has moved on and he...
Her voice failed her, she could not bear the pain of losing again.
" Plum? Moved on? Why? When? How? With who? Answer me! "
"I have no idea Hannah, no idea" Mia sniffed.
"Curse that bastard! " Hannah yelled angrily.
Hannah paced the room in anger and frustration.
"Have you informed Simon? "
"Yes"
"Hannah walked up to her, staring at her face with an expression of intense worry.
She had only one question.
" Mia, please tell me you don't have any feelings for him, please? "
Silence hit the room, thick and palpable, suffocating every dreams, word and hope.
Hannah trudged backwards in shock.
"Two whole years Mia and you still can't forget about him? "
"I am sorry, I...
" What is there to talk about Mia, tell me? You love someone who clearly never loved you! "
"No! Something feels wrong, there must be an explanation for this, i-i-i-i just need to get to him and I'll...
"Yes Mia, something feels wrong because you hope that all of this would be a misunderstanding, but it is not, nothing is a misunderstanding, it is clear and vivid that Plum doesn't love or want you! " Hannah yelled furiously.
Another wave of silence hit the room, calming the uprising tension.
"Mia, look at me, please. You really need to forget Plum, Mia, he doesn't love or want you anymore, I don't think he ever did"
That was one thing she never hoped to hear- that Plum never loved her.
She was sure their love was real, but she couldn't understand how it went wrong.
"We'll talk later Mia, I need to go, please think about it carefully, he doesn't love you" Hannah repeated before leaving the room.
Was Hannah right? Did Plum really write this out of his...
It was hard to believe the harsh truth about reality when you have lived in a world of mythical and beautiful dreams.
She smiled bitterly at her faith, no one she ever truly cared about stayed.
Fate was really cruel to her, she had to watch her father die and now she had lost Plum too.
"It's such a pity that you won't even welcome your mother" Ciara stated as she walked into the room, interrupting Mia's thoughts.
"Why are you always calling out for death Ciara?! "
