God knows

I heard Phoenix, but I couldn't react fast enough, and the hearty greeting sounded beside me.

"install!"

David in a neat suit yelled and approached me.

"Uh, hi!" I said, looking around out of the corner of my eye for the quickest escape route, "David, nice to meet you, have a good time! Bye!"

"Hey! Wait!"

He stopped me and I just thought in hindsight why was I so stupid?Why stop and perfuse him just to be polite?Why didn't he rush out of the venue recklessly according to the original plan?

"Where's Lisa?" I asked, looking around and backing away from the boy.

"Leave Lisa alone." David said, pushing his glasses, his tone was very earnest, "Ann, I have something to tell you."

"Listen, David..."

I panicked, this situation is too dangerous, I really should go.Phoenix was right next to the pillar, staring sideways at the crowd, looking everywhere but not at me.She had probably seen too much of what was going on, and I knew she couldn't help me, but her detached, nonchalant attitude made me feel even more alone.

"Ann, I think I like you," David said, taking another step towards me. There was a wall behind me, and there was no way to retreat. "You are a strange girl, you are lonely and caring, cold and warm, Ironic but funny, I have never seen such a contradictory and charming girl, I..."

"Shut up, Dai Wei." I interrupted him rudely, "What about Lisa? You can't do this to her!"

David took another step closer to me, forcing me to put my hand out to keep him out of the way.

"Ann, stop him." Phoenix suddenly turned her head and said to me at that moment, her tone was stiff and straight, and I knew she didn't want to abandon me, she was always looking for Lisa in the crowd.

"...Stop him quickly, she is coming, she already feels strange."

"Okay, shut up, I don't want to know anything." I said to David, knowing I couldn't put it off any longer, "I'm leaving, that's all, I don't have the feelings you feel, there's nothing between us." Said Then I turned to leave, hoping to make it in time, before Lisa found me.

I should have run, but I didn't.

I wasn't fast enough, and he grabbed my wrist, pulling with a force I couldn't break free, so hard, so eager it almost hurt.

"Ann, listen to me, I know you guys are best friends..."

He pulled me, pulled me towards him, and tried to convince me.

"...but we could, I know we could!" David said, as I kept tugging to no avail, "Please, you give me a chance, give us a chance."

Phoenix's expression was cold and heavy.

I followed her line of sight and saw Lisa, right on the edge of the pillar I was just spying on, she was so beautifully dressed, the wine red dress set off her complexion beautifully, and she put on makeup for David, Went to the salon to get her hair done - what girl doesn't look like she wants to please herself?But at this moment, the expression on her face disintegrated. Fortunately, her eyeliner and eye shadow were waterproof, otherwise the makeup would not be able to withstand the tears.

"Lisa..." I yelled, and David looked at her in bewilderment, lightened his grip but still held on tightly to my wrist, "Please, Lisa, please..." I yelled, trying to explain.

"Ann..." Lisa cried, covering her trembling mouth with her hands, "...David..."

oh no!No!No!

"…you."

Like the conclusion, she turned and ran out of the ballroom.

hateful!hateful!hateful!

"Ann!" David called me, as if it was just a sideshow to him.

"What's wrong with you?" I yelled, still unable to shake him off. "You selfish bastard! You hurt her like this without even thinking about it!"

"Ann, what happened happened, Lisa already knew," David said, as if it was only natural, "If she accepted the fact, why didn't you?"

Want me to join forces with you?What kind of weird logic is this?This man is really not worthy of love.

"No, not 'us'."

I roar.

"It's just 'you'."

I punched David hard in the face with my free hand—the left hand, but with the force of resentment—and turned and ran before he let go of me in pain.

Phoenix was faster than me. She flew ahead of me without looking back, as if she had a map in her heart.

"Follow me," she said, "I'll take you to her."

I found Lisa in a corner store a block from school.

"Documents?" Lisa screamed hysterically at the clerk, "I'm an adult! I didn't bring my ID to the dance today! You can't do that!"

"Miss, I'm sorry, this is the rule."

I went to the counter, handed my ID, and paid for Lisa's beer.

She seemed surprised that I found her in such a short time, but she took a beer and walked out of the store without saying a word, wandering aimlessly on the street.

"Lisa..."

I want to explain, I have to explain, but I watched her take a big gulp, look up at me, and I knew she didn't want my explanation-I couldn't explain why David didn't love her?Why choose her and hurt her?

She shook her head, she didn't want to see me, even though she knew that I had always avoided David and knew that I didn't love him, but seeing me reminded her of her loss and her heart-wrenching first love.

It was already a few minutes ago that she staggered and disappeared at the intersection, but I still remember her crying face, her eyes begging me sincerely, she took my hand, and she told me: "Ann, Guess his favorite song!", "I'm in love!", "Ann, I really, really love him."…

"Phoenix!" I yelled and turned to look at Cupid, who had nothing to do with me. "You help Lisa! You help her!"

"You know I can't."

"You can!" I yelled, reaching out to shake her shoulders, "You control love, you control emotions! Take your fucking invisible arrows and make him love her again! Do something! You help Lisa!"

"I'll kill her." Phoenix faced my agitation very calmly, "Love is deadly, like poison."

"Lisa! But Liza..."

I shouted meaninglessly, and when Phoenix reached out to touch my cheek, I realized that I was crying.

Phoenix's fingers are slender and fair, but traces of wind and frost can be touched. She gently wiped the tears on my face, although I was weeping wearily, after going through this night, losing my best friend, and my broken sense of fatigue Can also feel surprised.

"sorry."

Phoenix said.

"Ann, I'm sorry."
