Softly, On My Own Chapter 12
From that day forward, Sabrina tried every possible way to apologize.She sent long private messages.She asked Mrs. Hayes to visit and speak for her, bringing up childhood promises and old agreements.Again and again, she promised she would keep her word and care for me for the rest of my life.In the end, I asked Mrs. Hayes to pass along only one sentence."I've grown up. I don't need anyone's care or protection anymore."After that, Sabrina stopped contacting me.Half a month later, I heard the news from a former classmate.Sabrina had ultimately given up Kingsley University and applied to Lakeshore as well.The news stirred nothing inside me.I didn't seek her out or ask why.She was an adult. We had each chosen our own road. That was all.What I did not expect was to receive a message from Molly on the evening before orientation."Lakeshore starts tomorrow. Want me to meet you when you arrive?"My heart immediately sped up.I couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

Early the next morning, Sabrina's mother came to see me.Mrs. Hayes sat on the couch, looking helpless and concerned."Dylan, Sabrina was distracted all day yesterday. She locked herself in her room, refused to eat, and didn't sleep. Even now, she still hasn't submitted her own applications."Did the two of you argue?"You've been close for so many years. Whatever happened, talk it through instead of acting out of anger."I shook my head, my expression calm."Mrs. Hayes, we didn't argue. We simply grew up. I have my own ideas and my own life to choose now. I don't want to remain tied behind someone else as their little shadow."Mrs. Hayes sighed and seemed to understand.After she left, I casually opened my phone and checked my social feed.The first thing I saw was a new post from Cameron.The photograph showed a university in Capital City.The caption was indirect but unmistakable."After all these twists and turns, I'm glad we'll still be in the same city."Anyone could

A few days after I returned home, our final statewide examination scores were released.On the day the results came out, both families gathered at my house for dinner.The table was covered with food, and the atmosphere was warm and lively.Everyone had always assumed that Sabrina and I, childhood friends with similar grades and an old promise between us, would apply to Kingsley University together, continue looking after each other, and attend the same college.At the table, Mrs. Hayes held my hand and smiled affectionately."Dylan, you and Sabrina have talked since childhood about growing up together and attending the same university."Apply to Kingsley as planned. Then you can still look after each other on campus."Sabrina sat nearby and watched me quietly.There was a trace of expectation in her eyes as she waited for my answer.At that moment, Sabrina's phone rang on the table.The caller was Cameron.The instant she answered, her entire face softened with uncontrollab

Molly spent the entire afternoon exploring the beach with me.Before we parted, I asked if she would travel with me for the remaining days of my graduation trip.Evening approached and the sunset faded.I insisted on walking Molly back to her hotel before leaving alone.Once I returned to my room and finally relaxed, I opened my phone and scrolled through my social feed.The first post was one Cameron had just uploaded.The photograph showed him and Sabrina standing together beneath the sunset at the beach.The angle was suggestive and the atmosphere intimate. They looked exceptionally close.The comments were filled with heart emojis and congratulations from our high school classmates. Several people even tagged me to tease me and watch the drama.I stared at the once-painful photograph and felt nothing.The heart that would once have obsessed over it had gradually gone cold.I casually typed, "Best wishes," in the comments, locked my phone, and went to shower.When I fini

"Sabrina."First, I have complete evidence. You can keep covering for him and making excuses if you want. Once we're home, I will still pursue the matter and demand the compensation I'm owed."Second, what gives you the right to decide whether someone else is reliable? A professional, responsible guide who can distinguish right from wrong is far more dependable than someone like you, who ignores the truth and blindly protects an outsider."Third, I don't need to travel with you, and I don't need your pity. Please move. You're blocking the way."After saying all of that, I stopped looking at Sabrina's furious expression.I gently caught Molly by the wrist and turned away.Sabrina called after me, struggling to suppress her anger.I didn't slow down or look back once.Molly said nothing and quietly walked with me along the long shoreline.The ocean breeze brushed over us and gradually eased the resentment that had gathered inside me.After we had walked for a long time, I final

The moment I finished, Cameron acted as though I had deeply wronged him.His eyes reddened and he immediately hid behind Sabrina."Sabrina, I really didn't do it on purpose..."I only wanted to apologize properly, so I barely touched Dylan's hearing aid."How was I supposed to know it would turn out like this?"Without thinking, Sabrina stepped in front of Cameron to protect him.Her brows drew together as she looked at me with undisguised impatience and favoritism."Dylan, can you stop being so aggressive?"It's only a hearing aid. This isn't some enormous disaster."Cameron already apologized. Why do you have to keep attacking him?"He didn't mean it. Can't you be the bigger person for once?"Her blind defense felt like ice water flooding my chest.This was the childhood friend I had known for twelve years.In her eyes, my pain meant nothing beside Cameron's version of events.At that moment, Molly, who had been standing quietly beside me, stepped forward.She took out
