Day Fifty-Five…
~~*****~~
Nathan felt strange when Jane hugged him. What an irony! His enemy was the one comforting him at this moment. But then again, he realized he shouldn't show vulnerability in front of her. He didn't need her pity.
After he recovered, Nathan quickly removed Jane's hands and pushed her away. 'Why do I feel some familiarity from her hug?' Surprisingly, Nathan didn't feel disgusted at all.
"Stop playing with me, Phantomflake. You can't fool me. I hate pretentious people like you," Nathan said through his gritted teeth. He turned around to leave, leaving Jane behind.
"I'm not pretentious. It was Monica who pretended to be someone she did not. When are you going to acknowledge that, Nate?" she whispered while watching Nathan as he walked away.
Nathan couldn't recognize her because he was blinded by his anger and hatred. His bias toward Phantomflake was stopping him to see the good in her.
