“How about we don’t break…?”
The small white hand holding Severo Laris’ arm tightened its grip.
Severo Laris took a deep breath, pushed the thousand thoughts from his mind, turned to look into her red eyes and said, “Stop it, it’s not right, it’s not right, and it won’t do any good for you to change it, and besides, you can’t change it.”
Paula Rouco clutched her arm with both hands and shook her head as she shouted, “I changed it…”
Her voice was choked and humble to the core.
Severo Laris, finally distressed, reached up, his fingers gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said to her in a soft voice, “lita, don’t be so humble, it will make me despise you.”
His simple words dashed all Paula Rouco’s insistence in an instant.
Her two small hands slowly let go of his arms, her eyes holding back tears, her gaze stoic, pitifully like an abandoned kitten.
Severo Laris takes out his suitcase and heads for the elevator.
Paula Rouco stood just outside the elevator and watched as the doors slowly closed.
Severo Laris could no longer look at himself, and at the last moment, when the elevator doors closed, he lowered his eyes and avoided them altogether.
…
Buena flipped through her phone book and found Lastra’s cell phone number.
On that occasion, when she went to a club event, she left Lastra’s number, who was simple and welcoming and much more accessible than Severo Laris.
Lastra and Severo Laris were good friends again, and it was best to start with Lastra to find out the whereabouts of Severo Laris.
Buena inwardly thrilled at this idea, as if she were one step closer to Severo Laris.
She walked to the quiet end of the hallway, phone in hand, and called Lastra.
“Lastra, remember me, I’m Buena, Paulita’s housemate, and we’ve met before at club events.”
Lastra was a little surprised that Paulita’s housemate called out to her, “Buena student, is something wrong with you?”
Buena said, “Lastra, Paulita has been very unhappy lately about her breakup with Severo. I think there must be a misunderstanding between the two when they broke up, but Paulita can’t wipe her face to go to Severo. do you know where … Severo has been the last two days? Paulita wants to go see him to ask for clarification.”
Buena’s words roll off the tongue and Lastra, oblivious to the conflict in her female bedroom, thinks Buena is genuinely trying to help Paula Rouco.
“Buena, you’re quite enthusiastic, you have a strong relationship among your housemates.”
“Sure, Paulita and I are best friends, Lastra, please help Paulita, she’s lost a lot of weight from all the coffee and food she’s been drinking lately, it hurts.”
Lastra, who also wanted Severo Laris and Paula Rouco to get back together, said, “Severo is on a business trip in S. It may take two or three days.”
Buena’s eyes lit up …. In the country, ah.
“Do you know exactly where Severo is in S-town? What hotel is he staying at?”
Lastra was a bit puzzled and asked, “Is Paulita really going to S City to pick him up?”
Buena said, “But Paulita is trying to surprise Severo and Lastra, you must not tell Severo and the others. Otherwise, Paulita’s plan to go to Severo and make peace will go down the drain.”
Lastra was less attentive and unsuspecting, “I’ve booked the hotel at Severo’s, I’ll send you the exact address.”
A smirk shone under Buena’s eyes, “Yes, thank you Lastra. ”
After hanging up the phone, Buena received a text message from Lastra on her phone.
It was the hotel and room number where Severo Laris stayed in S-town.
Buena was in a great mood and returned to the bedroom with her phone in hand to see Paula Rouco sitting at her desk, staring at her, ignoring her.
Buena couldn’t help but gloat, “You don’t have to pretend you don’t see me, I’m going to S City to pick up my boyfriend recently and you won’t see me for two days.”
Paula Rouco didn’t bother talking to her, her mood was so bad that she just wanted to be left alone.
Buena asked, “Paula Rouco, aren’t you curious about who my boyfriend is?”.
Paula Rouco pursed her little lips and said coolly, “Why would I be curious about your boyfriend?”
“And yes, you broke up, so now you can’t get a good look at anyone else, let alone other couples sweetly.”
Paula Rouco didn’t even bother to answer him and looked down to work on some questions.
Buena took two days off that afternoon, lying to the counselor that her mother was sick in her hometown and she had to go home for two days to take care of her.
Later that night, as Rio lay in bed applying a mask, he wondered, “When did Buena get a boyfriend?”
Analeigh shook her head, “I don’t know, but from the way she’s been acting lately, it looks like she’s just dating and in the heat of the moment.”
Rio was quick to say, “Hasn’t she always had a crush on Severo?”
Right after saying the name, Rio bit her tongue and looked unconsciously at Paula Rouco on the top bunk.
But Paula Rouco did not react and Rio was relieved.
When the lights went out, Paula Rouco crawled under the covers and bit her fingers with silent tears.
Sadness is always strongest late at night, and people are often more vulnerable and break down at night.
Unable to sleep, she opened her phone on Facebook and repeatedly scrolled through Severo Laris’ circle of friends.
Those who write about his circle of friends.
The more I looked, the more I was moved, and Paula Rouco came out and then clicked on the circle of friends.
In the afternoon, Lastra published a friend.
Text: The skyscraper duo left behind. severe went to S on a business trip and we all had a hard time getting things going.
And the photo is a selfie of him, with a glimpse of Rufio working the corner by the way.
Severo Laris has gone to S on business? No wonder, he was dragging his suitcase this morning.
S City … Buena also said he was going to S City this afternoon.
Paula Rouco’s heart froze at the thought of this cape.
Could Buena’s supposed boyfriend be Severo Laris?
She didn’t want to look at him anymore and turned off the phone, unable to sleep for a long time.
Her mind is scrambled, thinking of many things, but none of them has a clue.
…
Two days later, Buena returned from S, all smiles.
Rio laughed and teased her, “What is your boyfriend doing to you and are you in a rage?”.
Buena looked at Paula Rouco, who stood silently beside her, and said in a falsely coy voice, “I slept with my boyfriend.”
The words were cryptic, but with that look on her face, it was clear what had happened.
Paula Rouco’s heart skipped a beat and her long, thick eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Rio scoffed, “Which one is that?”
Buena laughed shyly and sheepishly, blushing and saying, “Oh, you know it, that’s the one!”.
Rio laughed and pointed at her, “I didn’t think you would lie to the counselor and ask her permission to do something that bad with your boyfriend, Buena, you’re no good.”
“I would have disagreed, but seeing how hard she was taking it, I was a little sorry that we were going to be together in the future anyway, so it’s not that big of a deal. wasn’t Paulita living with her boyfriend before, Paulita, do you think I’m right?”
A naked provocation.
Paula Rouco doesn’t bother, shoves the books from her desk into her backpack and gets up to leave without saying anything.
Get ready to go to the library, which at least is cleaner than the dorm.
Buena grabs her phone and chases after her, “Paulita! Wait!”
Paula Rouco frowned, “Do what?”.
“Are you so uncomfortable with me that you have to leave as soon as I get back to the residence?”
“Will you disappear if I tell you I can’t stand to look at you?” Paula Rouco didn’t bother to be fake with her.
Buena didn’t get angry and teased her lips, saying, “I understand that you have a problem with me now. But let me be clear with you, I got together with Severo after you broke up with him, I did not interfere during your relationship. I hope you can understand that and not unfairly accuse people and discredit me behind my back for no reason.”
Paula Rouco said with a sullen little face, “I’m not that bored and I don’t have the time or energy to accuse and discredit you. And, for the record, Severo Laris and I are no longer together and you don’t need to inform me of your affairs with him.”
“Huh?” Buena sighed sadly, “I thought we were close and I wanted to share my happiness with you. So you won’t be able to watch this?”
Buena clicks the video on her phone and dangles it in front of Paula Rouco’s eyes, but quickly takes it back.
Paula Rouco scans the video on her cell phone and sees two naked bodies. Naked bodies intertwined.
Paula Rouco frowns and unconsciously asks, “What is this?”.
Buena sold, “This, ah, it’s a little secret between Severo and me.”
Paula Rouco ignores his maneuver and picks up the phone and pokes the video. The male has his back to the camera and you can’t see his face, but on the man’s left arm the orange tattoo of a small Paula stands out.
And the male body with that tattoo was on top of a woman doing indescribable things.
Paula Rouco’s fingertips, pale and hard as she gripped the phone, linger a little on her heart, oozing blood.
How she wanted to get the idea that it was Buena’s joke.
A smile of triumph crossed Buena’s eyes as he watched her crumble in pain and said smugly, victoriously, “Paulita, have you ever been this close to Severo when you were with him?”
Paula Rouco slammed the phone down and glared at Buena with scarlet eyes, cursing word for word, “Shame on you!”
Buena didn’t expect Paula Rouco to hang up the phone on her all of a sudden and got a little upset, “Paula Rouco! You used to bother Severo Laris every day, are you ashamed? Who are you to say that I have no shame?”.
Paula Rouco raised her hand and threw a strong slap to Buena’s cheek.
Buena was hit and became upset, reaching out and violently pushing Paula Rouco.
Paula Rouco lost her balance and fell straight down the stairs.
Ouch!
The sharp pain shooting through your body gnawed at you instantly.
The most painful part, the abdomen!
Paula Rouco was chaotically aware of something and reached up to touch her lower back with a trembling hand. She opened her eyes to see the light-colored pants, instantly stained red with blood.
Children …
She couldn’t get up from the pain, her hands were dead on her abdomen and her eyes were filled with tears of pain.
With a struggle she bent her head to look at Buena standing on the stairs, no longer caring about grudges, she pleaded pitifully, “Save me … save my baby … please …”
Buena stood at the entrance to the staircase and was shocked to see the lower half of Paula Rouco’s body all stained red, frozen in place, even her eyes frozen.
Just as a classmate passed by on the stairs and screamed, Buena lifted her legs in fright.
The person who had just pushed Paula Rouco, it wasn’t her! No one saw it!
She remembered that in the girls’ dormitory building there were no cameras to protect personal privacy, so no one had seen her push Paula Rouco before.
