" Calm down, you just have to hear him out" 

I don't have any idea of what he might want to say to me nor did I have something to say to him either, but the deep cloud of fear that was creeping upon my fragile heart anytime I reminisced that a day would come, and the chance of getting to set my eyes on him again won't be there again made me hovered and leave me in dismay. Maybe I don't know what I am feeling or what this feeling is, it is very conspicuous that I don't hate him like I claimed and also tried to manipulate my friends into my lifeless belief. This won't last, and there is no doubt that I will figure this out eventually. 

I became Edgy, not minding the conversation that was going between Melanie and Draven, though they tried to drag me into their conversation that seemed to last for infinity. I don't even bother to pretend or hide how I am feeling, since it is not my first time behaving that way, and they both knew I am yet to get back my true self since the incident, they let me be without making fuss of my sudden silent treatment.

I thought of thinking about something to distract me from thinking about him, but none of my ideas worked, not even when I tried to tell myself that I am not supposed to be thinking about some random guy when I am still mourning my father's death, still it doesn't work. All my body is screaming for him, waiting eagerly to hear what he has to say. Is he going to ask me curse at me or make jest of me? Or is he going to tell me I should not worry about babysitting him again? Gosh! What am I thinking again, it is too early for him to bring that kind of a topic up, I chuckled at the thought. It feels like I'm going Crazy, maybe that's an understatement, but I am not normal either.

I stared out of the window, my eyes wandering and staring into the starless sky,  the cloud gradually turning black, and the white strike of lightning is heard once in a while. Draven and Melanie are still talking and pay less attention to me. I stretched out my hand and grabbed a brown hoodie that was about a inch away from me, donning it on before i pulled my knees to my chest, wrapping my hands around my body, it feel so cold, Maybe it won't be long before the cloud will release the white crystal liquid it has in store for our city.

" Draven, I think it will be raining soon, don't you think you should be going already?" I heard Melanie's voice, not that clear because of the loud sound of the lightning that clashed with her voice at the same time.

"That's true," he grumbled, he stood up abruptly and glanced at my side, " You okay?" 

"Yeah," I smiled weakly. He his glistening teeth at me before heading towards the door, he came to a sudden halt when he was about to open the door and turned back at us again, at Melanie to be precise, because his attention was intently fixed on her.

" Don't let her see that son of bit*ch" he mouthed, a hint of irritation in his voice. 

" Good night," with this, he pushed the door open and strode out, completely avoiding my gaze. 

I sighed loudly when the door closed behind his back,Melanie was not saying a word and am not ready to say one either. Still, my head is full of different questions that are choking me, I can't just wait to let them burst out of me in order for me to secure an answer for each of them. 

Where do I start from? I can't just say I am ready to see him all of a sudden after several rejection, besides, I told her this morning that I don't wish to see his face in front of me again, won't it be very strange that I change my heart all of sudden? Whatever, I only want her answer, I don't care what she thinks about the sudden change, and I trust her that she won't push me to answer because the answer to the puzzle is very obvious.

"I'm just afraid to lose him forever" 

But, am I? 

" Melanie", " Melissa...... We both said each other's names at the same time, as if we were reading each other's mind, we both laughed at the strange coincidence. After everything is silent again.

" You go first," I muttered, my eyes fully engrossed into her eyes. Melanie gently dropped the phone she was holding on the couch, and then made a stupid move by jumping from the couch to the bed.

I chuckled.

" You go first," she grinned.

" No, I want you to be the first to talk" I protested, and she snickered.

Her face became serious all of a sudden again. " I trust you heard what Draven said" he hesitated for a few seconds, giving me a look that seemed suspicious, like she was trying to pass a message across without saying the words. I nodded slowly, completely aware of what she was driving at. I felt a chill tingle along my spine, and grabbed the edge of the hoodie. Then, she continued.

" He is really leaving," she paused for a few seconds again, while studying my expression. " Forever," she whispered, my lips trembling on their own as the words moved out of her mouth. I tried to hide my awe expression, I slowly moved my face and glanced at the rain drizzling across the window, slowly...

" Don't do what you will regret later, because you really......., " Feel something for him"
