Give Me A Break

Vic and Meghan are childhood best friends. Both vowed to take care of each other when they were still young. Soon… both of them grew up, sharing happiness and sadness together. As Meghan grew up as a pampered child, she always gets everything she wants. But for Vic, he grew up in a hard way as everything must be done by himself so he became matured and independence. Meghan moved into Vic’s house when she had a fight with her housemates for one silly reason, she wanted to go to Paris with them but they gave her lots of excuse not to go along. She felt hurt and went straight to someone whom she knew won’t make her in pain, Vic. Even though Vic told her for millions times not to act so childish but she stubbornly refused to move back. As her best friend, he just shrugged it off, maybe already knew her since young and let her taking the empty room in his place. Like a happy little girl, she agreed to follow few rules made by him. One, don’t make the place in mess. (Meghan always throws her belonging everywhere but because of this rule, she has to collect back all the things as Vic refuses to pick them up or he will pick them up but straight away throws them into the dust bin.) Second, don’t bring anyone to the house especially boyfriend. (Vic doesn’t like anyone especially man to come into his house without his permission as the house looks more like a crazy one with Meghan loves to put the flowers and things she receive all around the living room and other rooms, even making Vic’s things ‘disappear’ under her things.) Third, don’t bring any reporter to the house and no photo shooting in any part of the house. (Vic hates reporters very much.) Fourth, if she wants to go somewhere for few days, tell him first so he won’t need to cook for two. (Meghan can cook but she just pushes the responsibility to Vic, too lazy) Fifth, never tell anybody where she lives or with whom she lives with. (Vic expects Meghan to respect his privacy as he does to her.)

I heard they're selling new candies

~Flashback~

(Eighteen years ago, Vic was eight years old while Meghan was seven years old.)

Vic was walking to the canteen when he heard something. At first, he wanted to ignore it but one little girl ran to him, hiding behind him, shaking.

"Help me," she pleaded. He looked at the front as three big boys staring at them.

"Give that girl to us," one of them demanded. He turned at the girl but she looked at him with her big wet eyes. He smiled.

"Leave her alone," he spoke softly. The boys frowned before laughing.

"You are so skinny, don't think you can beat us three," one of them gave him a warning. Vic smiled.

"Try me," he replied. They gripped their fist before beginning to hit him. Meghan watched them in frightened. She knew she should run away but… she just knew that this boy will save him.

Vic looked at her, wiping the blood from his cut lip, smiling. She quickly took out her hanky, giving to him.

"You… you want to see a doctor?" she asked slowly. He sighed to hear the bell rang.

"Have you eaten yet?" he asked. She shook her head. He sighed again, feeling his own stomach growling in starving.

"Are you hungry too?" she asked. He nodded slowly. Suddenly she took his hand, bringing him to the canteen.

"What do you want to eat? My treat," she said cheerfully. He sighed.

"I don't mind. Whatever in your mind also okay," he replied. She snapped her fingers before running to the aunty, ordering lots of food.

His jaw dropped down seeing all the food. Her face changed, thinking that he doesn't like what she ordered.

"You want other food? Okay…" She wanted to go make another order but he quickly stopped her.

"No… no… but can we finish these all?" he asked. She grinned.

Next month…

Vic was studying when someone stepped into the class. Nobody else there as it was still break time.

"What are you reading?" she asked, looking at the front page. Then she stuck her tongue out, shaking her head. He chuckled, closing the book and looked at her.

"What do you want, Meghan? I need to study now." She grinned, pulling him out.

"Let's go have a break. I'm hungry," she moaned. He chuckled, patting her head gently.

"Go eat with your friends. I need to do my revision now," he said, breaking free from her. She pulled a long face.

"I heard that they are selling new candy today…" He immediately pulled her out, rushing to the canteen. She giggled.
