Lily sighed as she looked at the young man before him. His eyes are golden brown, filled with mischief and happiness. His lips are divine, plump and kissable. His complexion is sunkissed, perfectly paired with his tousled hair. He was perfect. Too perfect for her. And yet for some reason, she's always by his side. And by his side will only be her place, not in his heart but in his side.

"Serena? What's wrong?" He's dreamy mellow voice reached her ears.

Tearing her stare from his face, she smiled serenely. "Nothing. I just remembered something."

The handsome human smiled at her and chuckled, "You always think of something, my flower."

"I told you! Don't call me in that stupid nickname, Luca!" The brunette playfully exclaimed as she lightly swatted the sleeved arm of the male.

Then, they both exploded into silent laughters to not disturb the café customers they were in. They were both laughing because of an inside joke from the 13 years of friendship they have.

"So what seems to be the thoughts in that pretty head of yours?" He winked at Lily. The girl scowled indignantly, 'using his charms like that! That should be illegal!' She thought.

Blocking off the remaining anxiety-worthy thoughts that are about to rise up, again, she half-lied. "Nothing important, really. I was just thinking about the future of our band. I mean, our first live show will be soon and I'm just nervous."

Luca looked scandalized at the girl's worry, "Nervous? You shouldn't be! You're the best vocalists ELITES, or even the world could ever hope so!"

"Shame on you Luca! Flattery won't get us anywhere!" They both stared at each other and laughed again.

Lily looked at Luca, then considered everything around them. The light atmosphere, the nice weather outside, a pretty empty café, and a romantic beach scenery outside. 'This is the right timing, right?! What could possibly go wrong?' She asked herself.

Blushing heavily internally and mustering up all the courage and dignity, she bravely asked, "Luca, I-"

"Luca, sweetheart!" A sweet sounding tone came from behind her.

I felt a tugging feeling in my gut as I realized what was happening. 'Of course, how could I forget my position. Of course.' She chuckled sarcastically inside as the truth hits her. She was not Luca's girlfriend or will ever be. She's just a girl by his side to go to whenever he broke up with someone. She will only be a friend, nothing more nothing less.

If I changed, will you be mine?

"There's my girl." Luca said to Lily as he waved back to the coming girlfriend. "I should go now, Lily. See you next practice?"

Lily smiled serenely. "I'll be there." For you, she mentally added.

"Perfect!" he said while packing his things. "I have a date to go."

It was one of the most heartbreaking to watch. He turned his back at her and met the other girl midway. Lily couldn't force herself to even look. She knows what was going on behind her. Kissing, hugging and then leaving her behind. This is always the situation.

If I changed, will you be mine? If I give you everything, will you do the same?

She chuckled at the ridiculous thought.

"He will never be mine." She murmured to herself silently.
