MAX POV

“Let go of me Max,I said let go” Rose said as she pulled off her hand

“What’s that about?”I asked her.

“What are you talking about?”she questioned back.

“Those pictures, you did it right?”

“Look, I might still be In love with you, I might still want you but I wouldn’t resort to this sort of thing just to get you “she said

“I don’t believe you!”I said

“I didn’t do it okay! ,I didn’t put those pictures up online”she said

“If you say so then.”I said as I began to walk off only for her to pull me back

“But don’t you think this is a sign” she asked

“Sign to what?”

“A sign that it’s time for us to get back, until when will you keep on tormenting me for what happened with Nick, have told you that we didn’t mean for it to happen, we…………..”

“Shut up Rose, just shut up”I said

“Not this time Max,I won’t shut up and I won’t stand aside, I won’t let you push me away again, I love you ,I made a mistake, why won’t you just forgive me”She said

“But I don’t love you , Whatever I felt for you a year ago is dead, I don’t love you neither do I want to get back with you”I said turning to leave only for her to hug me from behind.

“I won’t let you go and you should know that the both of us belong together, if you keep on rejecting me ,you will have to accept me because we will both be married in the future”She said as she held me tight.

What ever she was saying meant little to me, all I kept thinking of was Andrea.

She can’t possibly be in a relationshยกp with Jack, she just can’t possibly be In a relationshยกp

“I love you Max,I still do, I wait for the day you will forgive me and learn to love me back”she said as she kept on holding me

“It will be best if you don’t possibly wait for me because I don’t think I can ever love you again”I said

“Why?”She asked

“I love some one else”i said expecting her hold on me to lessen but she didn’t let me go

“I won’t believe that, I won’t believe it ,you are just saying it to get back at me right? “She asked

“No am not, now please let go?”i said looking up only to see Andrea starring at us

Quickly I tore her hand away and went to Andrea who had looked way,pretending to be going some where

“We have to talk”I said as I stood in her path

“I don’t have any thing to say to you”she said as she tried to walk past me

I blocked her path and tried to take her hand but she pulled away

“Rose is waiting for you ,go to her ” she said again

“Are you really dating Jack?”I asked

“What I do with my life have nothing to do with you, so please refrain from asking that sort of question in the future”she said as she walked past me.

Why won’t she just forget what I said and forgive my rudeness,I thought as I stood watching her leave while Rose stood by the end watching the two of us.

JACK POV

I was heading to the men restroom when I almost collide with Rose.

Her face were all puffy and red, seems like she had been crying, I thought as I kept starring at her.

I moved past her and went into the male rest room to do my thing.

Rose chose her own path and if it’s causing her a wh0le lot of pain and anguish then that will be her fault,I thought as I thought of Andrea and smiled

I have better things think of, like when would i would make Andrea buy me the meal she owes me

The door opened and Rose barged in interrupting my thoughts.

She checked the toilet one after the other and when she found no one there ,she licked the outer door and came back to me

“Happy right?”she asked

“Happy about what?”

“Happy about the pictures and happy about getting your name linked with Andrea”She said

“Cut to the chase here, what do you want ” I asked

“I won’t waste my time by asking if you like Andrea or not, I can already tell that myself, Now all I want from you is to look for ways to get Andrea for yourself, I won’t be able to get back with Max if that girl is still in his life “She said

” Wow so much energy for some one who doesn’t even acknowledge it ” I said

“Just tell me if you are going to do It or not”She asked

“I don’t want to be involved with you “I said

“Why?why can’t you be involved with me?”She asked

“Because of past experience and I won’t do anything to get Andrea, She will come to me herself so save your deal for someone else”I said as I left the room.

ANDREA POV

“So, are we still going for our study session today?”Geoffrey asked

“Of course,it’s very important for every one of us”Beatrice replied

“Still at the same place and at the same time, no one must miss it ” Brenda said

I wasn’t listening to what they were saying because my mind was occupied with what I saw earlier

Could he be dating Rose? They had been holding each other before I arrived and seeing them together got me feeling so sad and more angry.

“Max! Max are you going to go come for the study session group?” Beatrice asked

Even with out looking up at him, I knew he was looking at me

“If Andrea will be there then I will be there”he replied and went to his seat

Every one was looking at me and it was all due to the last thing he said

Couldn’t he have just said some thing else, I thought as I pretend to read my book.

************************************************
We got to the cafe and took our seats, I made sure I took a seat which is very far from Max

He didn’t try to make things worse by trying to talk to me.

He had started the STAY AWAY FROM EACH OTHER THING am just following it up for him,I thought as I asked Jack for help on a particular math

Jack gave me his wh0le attention and taught me the things I didn’t understand.

While I was solving an important equation,I looked up only to find Max starring at me

I looked away and then looked at him again and still he was starring at me

Why does he keep on starring at me? I thought as I put my focus on my book alone.

A while later,I excused myself and left for the rest room.

A lot of memories flooded back as I got into the rest room.

I had been taken her by those terrible guys, I thought as I found myself going outside instead of returning to our table.

I got to where the fight had taken place and I remembered the way Max had beat those goons and his hug later on.

Back then I had thought that he cared for me but I was wrong.

He was only thinking of me as a loser then and am sure that he still thinks the same, I thought sadly

I turned to go back him only to find him behind me,watching me

“That scared me!!!! Why didn’t you tell me if your presence”I said as I moved back

“Because I was sure that you will leave before I get to talk to you”He said

“Still on the talking issue, I told you that we don’t have any thing to say to each other”I said

“But I do, I do have a lot of things to say to you and I won’t let you leave until you listen to me”he said

“Why are you doing this Max, you started it yourself, you told me to stay away and that’s what am doing, what will you gain by being this way?”I asked

“I won’t gain any thing Andrea, all I need from you is your listening ear”He said

“Fine then, tell me what you have to tell me “I said

“Andrea I………”he couldn’t get to tell me because my phone rang

It is my mom, I thought as I quickly picked it up

“Am I speaking to Andrea?”A voice asked

“Yes you are speaking to her”I replied

“Well I called to tell you that your mom collapsed in the market earlier and have been taken to the hospital”The lady said

“What Hospital?”I asked

“The Saint Luke”the stranger replied

“I will be there soon”I said as I switched off the phone..

“What happen?”Max asked

“It’s mom, she collapsed in the market earlier and she has been taken to the hospital”I said nervously

“I have to go to her Max,I have to be with her”I said nervously

“Okay then, let’s go back and collect your things and then we will leave”He said as he took my things.

A while later we left the cafeteria and went straight to the hospital

As soon as we got in, I went to the nurses table and they gave me the information. I needed

I found out from the doctor that she was in a very bad state

I sat on the chair crying ,feeling so alone and just then I felt some one arm wrap around me and I was relieved to see that it was Max.

With out waiting for him to do it, I hugged him tightly.

ANDREA POV

I sat in the waiting room waiting for the doctors to come out of the operating room.

“Here you go”Max said as he stretched a cup of coffee towards me

He had been gone for a while and I thought that he had left but seeing that he was still around made me feel comforted.

‘Don’t get your hopes up Andrea, remember that he is only doing this because he finds you annoying’ some thing in me said

I collected the cup from him and looked at him.

“You should go now, i will stay here by myself”I said

“I don’t Think so, I will stay here with you”he replied

“That’s what you say all the time, you draw some one in and push them out, you are being kind to me now, even offering to stay with me and later you tell me you find me annoying and that am a loser”

“I know that what I said that day hurt you……..”

“It didn’t hurt me Max, it shattered me,you were the only friend I had, the only one I could trust, I even thought of you as my guardian angel, you kept my secret and didn’t ask for any thing in return,I was grateful to you and I wanted to give you some thing back, to pay it in a way, maybe by being your friend or by being your listening buddy but you told me to keep my distance and I respect your wish but here you are,Not keeping the distance you had asked for, what do you want exactly?”I asked

“You” he said softly

“What?” He couldn’t give me a better response because beatrice and the others arrived.

“What’s going on? How is your mom?”Beatrice asked

“Still in the operating room”I said

“Sorry we couldn’t come straight away”Brenda added

“It’s fine, am just glad that you are here “I replied

I tried finding Max amongst the crowd but it seemed he wasn’t there.

He didn’t finish what he had to say to me and I wanted to know what he had to say

The doctor came in at that moment taking my attention.

“Well she is stable now but we will need to keep her under observation “He said to us all

“Can I see her now?”I asked

“Not now,as we have said we still have to keep watch on her, so you will have to wait”he replied and walked off

“Why don’t you guys just go,I will be fine on my own”I said to them

“But we can’t just leave you here alone”Beatrice said

“Don’t worry, I will be fine”I said to them all

“But Andrea?”Brenda said wanting to stay to with me

I felt touched by their insistence and am glad that I have friends who are ready to stay with me when I am in need, I thought as I gave them all a hug.

I would have let them stay if I didn’t have any secret to keep but I have one and am not ready for them to know that.

“Why don’t we just leave, After school tomorrow,we will all come back to check on her”Jack said pushing the girls off

As they left,I whispered a thank you at him knowing that they wouldn’t have gone if Jack hadn’t forced them to.

I stood by the wall, thinking about everything and where Max had gone.

“Andrea !” I heard Jack call and I turned to see him running towards me

“I forgot to do this”he said and before I could understand what he meant, he pulled me into a tight hug

“Don’t worry every thing will be fine, you just have to stay strong” he whispered into my ear and knowing that he was trying to comfort me,I hugged him back

“I will”I whispered back and he pulled away and stared at me briefly.

For the time that he held me in his arms ,I felt that he wanted to do more but then he moved away and ruffled my hair before walking off.

Knowing that he had come back just to say that to me made me feel touched and guilty.

Once the truth is out,I know that they will hate me for sure.

I was dozing off on the chair when I felt someone watching me.

I opened my eyes only to see that it was Max, he had a troubled look on his face and though he tried not to show it,I can feel that something is wrong.

“You didn’t go back home?”I asked

“I didn’t, I just gave you some privacy”He replied

“You should go home too,I will be fine”I said

“I don’t want to, I will stay here with you “He replied

“Don’t! I don’t want you to do it for me or for my mom, I don’t want you to be burden with me, Just as you have said, Am annoying and…………”I couldn’t finish my word because he had moved up to me and had placed a finger on my l-ips

“Until when will you stop tormenting me with I said “he asked softly

“Into you see how much your words hurt me, We were getting along so well and I was lucky to have you as a friend but you pushed me away and you told me that I was annoying and that I was a loser, that hurt a lot, it hurt so much “I said as the tears fell gently

“Am sorry Andrea! Would it comfort you a bit if I told you that I didn’t mean what I said that day”He asked as he wiped off my tears .

“If you didn’t mean it, why did you say it”I asked as I tried to stop the tears

“I didn’t want you know my secret “He said softly

“Your secret? What secret is that?”I asked

He took a seat beside me and held my hand in his.

“I don’t know if you will hate me for what am about to say but I will really prefer it if you understand me and try not to get mad”He said making me worried

“It’s okay Max, whatever you are going to say to me,I wont judge you”I replied as I held his hand tightly.

“It’s about what happened to Nick, I…..I….caused his death “He said with tears in his eyes

Just seeing how hurt he looked, I knew that it was hรฆrd for him to tell me this and I promise myself that I will try to understand him no matter what

He began to tell me about what happened a year earlier.

“I should have been there for him, I should have stopped him, I could have done it but I let my anger over rule me and I hate it, I hate myself and I regret all what happened”he said crying and instead of judging him,I pulled him to a tight hug

“What happened a year ago is not your fault, you didn’t ask for him to die,it’s Nick fault for being weak, he should have stayed alive and ask for your forgiveness properly, don’t beat yourself too much Max , even though I wasn’t there,I know that you were the best brother to Nick and I know that wherever he is,he will also testify to that”I said holding him as he kept on crying.

It took a while for him to calm down and when he did, he was a bit shy with me

“I didn’t mean to cry,it’s so embarrassing”He said softly

“It’s not, you should always cry than to have it all bottled up and besides we are friends, I will help you keep it a secret” I said and he laughed

“Is this the reason why you pushed me away, you didn’t want me to know about this?”I asked

“Yes I didn’t, I thought you were going to blame just as have always blamed myself,I would rather have you stay away than to have you hate me”he said and I punched him lightly on the arm

“Why would I hate you, no matter what you do,I don’t think I will ever hate you”I said

“Why?”he asked softly

Because I love you, because you are the oy guy I ever want,because you are the one my heart beats for, I thought silently to myself

“Because you are my angel”I said instead

“What?”he asked having a smile on his face

“You are the angel who kept my secret and has always been watching over me, how can I hate you?”I said, putting on a cute face and he laughed out loud.

“Friends again?”he asked as he stretched forth his hand to me

I stared at it for a while and wondered if we can be more than friends some day.

I doubt that Max ‘s future is already planned for him and that is to marry Rose and when that time comes,I will just have to accept it.

“Friends”I replied as I put my hand in his

“Why don’t you rest your head on your friend shoulder”he said a while later

“What?”

“You need to rest and I know that you wouldn’t want to leave, so just use my shoulder for a while”He said as he Pat his shoulder again

“Okay”I replied softly and put my head on his shoulder

“Promise me that we will never fight like this and that you will always tell me what is bothering you”He said

“I will”I replied and as his arms envelop me, I gave into the sleep, knowing that my angel is right beside me.
