LOVING YOU HAD CONSEQUENCES


Tears are falling heavily on Lily's face. Andrei noticed this but he can't move his body."H-hey, what are you talking about?"His voice is trembling."Remember those times that you said you were busy with something? or I rather say, with someone??"Andrei's eyes widened.*Does she knew about this for a long time? But I already withdraw from the dare!*"Lily, l-let me explain...""I don't need your explanation. I was so dumb that time! Why didn't I notice it?! Did you know what I'm feeling that time? I was so lonely!"Staring at Lily's teary eyes, Andrei can't hold his tears too. He's shaking."I want to end this. There was no spark between us at all. It doesn't make sense if... I still want to hold onto something that's already fading...""But, I need you..""Yes you do""Then stay!"Andrei shouted unexpectedly at Lily. But she is shaking her head."I can't do that. You need me, but you don't love me""That's not true! I had always loved you Lily. Please... please, let's settle this""I am settling this!! It's for the better, Andrei Lennox"He froze again when she calls him with his full name."Thank you for everything..."Lily leaned closer to Andrei and gave him a kiss on the lips. This might be their first kiss but it will also be the last. He closed his eyes and feels the soft lips of Lily.She broke the interaction and cupped Andrei's face. His eyes are still crying."Goodbye....."And then she starts walking away from him."Lily......""Lily!!"Andrei kept calling her name but the latter seems to be not hearing his calls.LILY'S POVShe keeps walking but her knees wanted to give up.She heard Andrei shouting her name. This time, she wanted to go back and give him a tightest hug.He's still shouting at the back, giving her a chance to comeback."I'll count from 10-1 . If you don't comeback, we'll forget each others name. Ten!""Nine!""Eight!""Seven!"Lily's knees are getting weaker every time Andrei shouts a number. It makes her feel, to go back to him."Five!""Four!"But her pride took the most of her so she runs fast as she could , until she can't hear Andrei's voice anymore.ANDREI'S POVHe's still counting when he saw Lily run away."Three!"He wanted to chase her but his legs won't cooperate with his body."Two!"He stopped shouting when he can't see her anymore."Two......""Two......."Andrei sat on the ground and cried heavily."That's not fair! I got used to everything we had just then! How dare you leave me, Lily!!"His voice faints......"I love you, please come back......."
