Alexandra ‘s POV

 

When school got over, I got up to go grab my bag.

 

I decided on going to see Steph.. To just talk to her.

 

I miss her so much.

 

I walked to my locker and grabbed my bag.

 

I decided on taking Jeremy’s pullover home.

 

I dropped it inside my bag.

 

“Alex.” I heard Eve’s voice.

 

I turned and smiled at her.

 

We’ve not talked today.

 

“Hi Eve.” I said.

 

“You’re going?” She asked.

 

“Um.. yeah.” I said.

 

“You’re good with Steph now?” She asked.

 

I shook my head, “No.”

 

“I talked to her tho but she said nothing.” Eve said coldly.

 

I sighed.

 

“It’s fine. I wanna go to talk to her.” I said.

 

“She’s gone already.” She said.

 

I inhaled.

 

“You’re taking cab?” She asked.

 

I thought for a while.

 

“Yeah.” I said.

 

“What about Jeremy?” She asked.

 

“He’s just my friend.” I said.

 

“He can drive you home.” She said.

 

“I don’t know.” I said.

 

“He’s your friend and you said he’s nice to you now. So if you let him know. Im

 

sure he’ll drive you home.” She said.

 

“Let’s go.” I said.

 

We turned and walked down the hallway.

 

………………………

 

………………

 

“My mom’s in the hospital.” She said as we walked through the hallway.

 

“She’s ill?” I asked.

 

“My elder sister pushed her off the wheelchair yesterday.” She said with tears in her eyes.

 

“Oh my God! why would she do that?” I asked, feeling really bad.

 

“My sister drinks.” She said.

 

“Oh my!” I felt really sad.

 

I stopped and pulled her into a hug.

 

“I love my mom so much. I don’t want anything to happen to her.” She said, weeping already.

 

I blinked as tears fell off mine.

 

She makes me remember my mom.

 

When she slumped down on the kitchen, when she was rushed to the hospital and

 

when the doctor confirmed she has a breast cancer, and mom died after few weeks

 

that she fought so much to live.

 

I shut my eyes.

 

“Im sorry Eve. Nothing’s gonna happen to your mom. Believe that, do you?” I said

 

as tears fell down my eyes.

 

She sniffled.

 

“Yeah, I do.” She said.

 

I opened my eyes and saw Jeremy.

 

He stood a bit a far. With his hands in his pockets, looking at us.

 

I withdrew our hug and Eve was in tears.

 

“Don’t cry Eve. Nothing’s gonna happen to your mom.” I said.

 

She nodded.

 

“But you’re in tears too.” She said.

 

I smiled and glanced at Jeremy.

 

He still stood, staring right at us.

 

I looked at Eve, “Your mom reminds me of my mom.” I said.

 

She raised eyebrows, “Really?”

 

“Yeah” I said.

 

“What about your mom?” She asked.

 

I smiled as a tear dropped.

 

“She’s gone.” I said.

 

She gasped, then pulled me into a hug.

 

“Im so sorry.” He said.

 

“It’s fine.” I said.

 

She withdrew the hug.

 

“I thought you actually have your mom around.” She said.

 

“I did until she left me.” I said with a sad smile.

 

She blinked a tear from her eyes.

 

“Im sorry about that Alex.” She said.

 

I smiled, “It’s okay.” I said.

 

Jeremy began coming..

 

“Let’s go.” She said.

 

“Jeremy’s coming.” I said.

 

She turned and saw him.

 

She turned back to me.

 

 

“I guess I should go. Let him know about it. Im sure he’s gonna drive you home.”

 

She said.

 

I nodded.

 

“Bye Eve.” I said.

 

“Bye.” She said and walked away.

 

“Andra.” He said when he got to me.

 

“You’re going home?” He asked.

 

“Yeah?” I said.

 

“Arsh! No, let’s spend some time at the school garden.” He said.

 

“Huh?” I looked at him.

 

“Yeah. It’s so early to go home.” He said and took my hand.

 

“No. it’s not.” I said.

 

“Whatever. Just come with me ok?” He said, grabbed my hand and pulled me along.

 

“Fine. I’ll go. Stop dragging me.” I said.

 

He looked at me and smiled.

 

“Good girl. Sweet friend.” He said and winked.

 

Punk!

 

But he still held me.

 

“Leave my hand.” I said.

 

“Nop. Let’s just walk this way.” He said.

 

I rolled my eyes and smiled.

 

Jerk!

# Jeremy ‘s POV

 

We got to the garden and sat down, I still held her hand.

 

Her hand felt so soft and slender.

 

“Your hand is so soft. Making me wanna keep holding them.” I said and smiled.

 

I know she’s gonna react. And she did.

 

She tried to pull her hand away but I held it more tight.

 

“Ouch!” She half yelled.

 

I smiled.

 

“Tell me,” I said.

 

“Tell you what?” She asked.

 

“Why were you guys hugging?” He asked.

 

“She said her mom fell off the wheelchair and it reminded me of my mom.” She said.

 

I turned and stared at her.

 

She was staring at the flowers.

 

“Your mom is really beautiful.” I said.

 

“Yeah. She was.” She said.

 

“Can you tell me what happened?” I asked.

 

She inhaled.

 

“That day, Aunty Lili to visit us. We were happy. both my mom, Lili and I went to prepare a happy dish in the kitchen. Everyone was happy, really happy, when my mom suddenly yelled out and slumped to the ground. I couldn’t believe it. My dad came and we drove her to the hospital…”

 

She paused as a tear fell off her eyes.

 

I felt a shiver.

 

To see her tears.

 

It rolled down her cheek.

 

She blinked her eyes and another one fell.

 

I just stared.

 

I tried to say something but I don’t actually know what to say.

 

“…The doctor. He said she had breast cancer and… and it’s been quite long. Mom knew. She knew but she never told anyone about it.. She didn’t tell my dad. She didn’t even tell Lili, her twin sister. She just kept it hidden from her family…” She was crying now.

 

I inhaled as I felt tears in my eyes.

 

“…She underwent different therapy and operations. And got transferred to another hospital in UK. She couldn’t survive it tho. She died.” She said as tears rolled down her eyes.

 

I looked away as I felt so sad.

 

Tears gathered in my eyes.

 

I looked at her.

 

She was looking at me now.

 

“Your.. your eyes are red Jeremy.” She said.

 

I left her hand and pulled her into a hug.

 

“Im just… Im just sad cos of all you just said.” I said, huugging her tighter.

 

“Im sorry Andra. Im sorry that your mom had to die after everything.” I said.

 

She stayed silent, crying silently.

 

I shut my eyes.

 

I wanna do this.

 

I wanna stop her tears.

 

I don’t understand the way I feel for Andra.

 

We had fights.. We yelled at each other.

 

I hurt her. I got on her nerves, and then we became friends.

 

Now,I wish to make her happy…

 

Make her smile and make her forget her bad moments and sad memories.

 

I dont wanna get on her nerves anymore.

 

I don’t wanna yell at her or hurt her just to make myself happy.

 

I wanna be here for her. I wanna cherish our friendship and let her understand im not really arrogant and proud as she thinks that I am.

 

I wanna make her like me, because I… I think im loving her.

 

“Jeremy..” She whispered.

 

“Huh?” I said, as I opened my eyes.

 

I’ve been lost in my thoughts of her that I don’t know how long I’ve been hugging her.

 

Argh! I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

 

“Im fine now. Im not crying anymore.” She said.

 

“Uh.. Okay.” I said and pulled away and stared at her eyes.

 

“Th.. thanks.” She said and smiled awkwardly.

 

No matter how she smiles, they are cute.

 

I smiled and kissed her forehead.

 

Then I saw someone staring at us from far.

 

Molly.

 

Our eyes met and she stared a little more and left.

 

I looked at Andra.

 

“Let’s go.” I said, took her hand and we left.
