No More Time Together Chapter 9
For two days in a row, Corbin stayed near the dormitory.The dormitory warden clicked her tongue and said with amazement, “That brat has some serious patience. “He doesn’t even leave at night. He just sleeps on that bench out there.“You should see his legs. They’re covered in mosquito bites. Honestly, it’s kind of sad to look at him.”I took the meal my friend had brought me in silence.For a full six days, he remained downstairs.He only left on the last day of the holiday.After he left, I blocked Mabel’s number as well.When Corbin showed up at my school, I knew right away that Mabel must have given him her number.That was all I needed to finally let go of whatever was left of our friendship.From that point on, I had nothing left to say to either of them.However, I never expected that, as winter break approached, Corbin would show up again.I was at a cafe just off campus, sitting by the window and holding hands with my boyfriend, Ian.Corbin burst through the door

The next day, I received a call from an unfamiliar number. It had a Northbridge area code.Though I could guess it was Corbin, I answered it anyway.Corbin’s familiar voice came through.“Denise.”His voice sounded a little hoarse.“Hmm.”“I went to your campus yesterday.”“I know.”“Denise, can we please have a proper talk?”“Sure, go ahead.”Since there was no way to avoid it, I might as well lay everything out clearly.There was a long beat of silence. It was as if he had lost his voice.I sighed and said, “When I was talking to Mabel last night, you were listening too, weren’t you?”After a few seconds, he responded, “Yeah...”I smiled and said, “Then, you already heard everything. We covered it all last night. I meant every word—”“Denise…” Corbin interjected urgently.“I stayed up all night thinking about everything you said.“You were right. I’m sorry.“I shouldn’t have kept brushing off your feelings...“Denise, I know we’re the same age, but I’ve always se
No More Time Together Chapter 7
By the time I saw Mabel’s message, I had just gotten off the train.The train station was massive and crowded.I opened the chat box and replied, [Yeah. I’ve already broken up with him.]After transferring twice on the subway, I finally arrived at the unfamiliar campus.Once I was settled, I called my mom to let her know I was safe.She told me about Corbin coming back to the neighborhood afterward.I was a little surprised, but I did not pay much attention to it. Since I had already decided to let Corbin go, I did not want to dwell too much on his affairs.“Mom, from now on, don’t tell me anything about Corbin. I don’t want to hear about it.”She was stunned for a moment before saying, “Alright. I won’t bring it up if you don’t want to hear about it.”On the first day of orientation, there were many things to take care of and buy.That afternoon, I had just returned from the campus gate with Clara, my new roommate, after buying daily necessities.From a distance, I saw Co

Corbin reassured himself that it could not be Denise.Even if she had decided not to repeat senior year, she would not be here.How could she be at a train station?Corbin did not dwell on it any longer and rushed to the high school he had attended as quickly as he could.He found her class, but there was no sign of Denise anywhere.He was in disbelief.He searched for her in every classroom, but she was not there.“Corbin, what are you still doing here?”His former homeroom teacher, Margaret Read, was surprised to see him standing there with his suitcase.“Aren’t you supposed to attend the orientation at your university today?“You should be at the train station now.”Corbin ignored Margaret’s question. He only asked anxiously, “Ms. Read, have you seen Denise?”“Who?”That was when Corbin realized that Margaret had never taught Denise.She did not know Denise at all.He then asked again, “Could you check for me if Denise Summer is repeating senior year this year?”Th
No More Time Together Chapter 5
Corbin’s first instinct was to think that he had misheard the neighbor.No way. How could the girl who had always said she would follow him possibly give up on repeating her senior year?His mother urged him from the side.“Cor? What’s keeping you? We’re going to miss the train.”Corbin snapped back to his senses.He merely assumed that Denise was just saying angry words out of spite.Without giving it much thought, he headed straight to the train station.Mabel had arrived early and was already waiting for him in the waiting area.“So? Did you get to see Denise today?”Corbin paused for a moment and shook his head.Mabel let out a sigh.“She’s probably still mad. Look, I texted her yesterday. She did reply, but she wasn’t as friendly as before.“Honestly? It kind of hurts.”Corbin’s gaze fell on her phone screen.Mabel: Denise, I start school tomorrow. Let’s go hit up that barbecue and grill place we used to go to.Denise: Okay, my treat. Consider it my thanks for savin

“Denise, look what you caused!”I was completely lost.Corbin sneered at me coldly, “If you hadn’t thrown a fit and switched to the night shift, Mabel wouldn’t have felt like she had to wait around for you to get off work. She wouldn’t have gotten cornered by that creep trying to save you!”I panicked.So, Mabel was the one who deliberately set off that police siren.The reason that dark figure did not catch me was that he found Mabel hiding in the shadows. He then turned on her to get back at her, which gave me the chance to escape.I became overwhelmed with guilt. I covered my head in my hands and sobbed uncontrollably.“I didn’t know...”I genuinely thought a police car had happened to pass by and scared that person off.Corbin mocked, “You didn’t know?“Denise, besides throwing tantrums and demanding that everyone always cater to you and accommodate you, what else do you even know?!”My face turned pale, and my whole body trembled violently.I tuned him out.The only
