Chapter 23 "MAY"

There was a moment of silence and everyone stared at Lily."Come on, guys! Don't be like this. Do you think he'll be happy if you keep crying? Cheer up!"She inhaled deeply."Do you want to visit him after school?"Everyone smiled at her. They want to see their friend.~FAST FORWARD~After school, everyone in the club started packing their things and went with Lily to the hospital.When they entered the room, Andrei's parents are talking to the doctor.After the doctor left, Lily walked to the parents with a concerned look."May I know what the doctor said?""He said that Andrei might be in coma for 2-3 weeks. All we need is patience and we'll pray for his health.She looked at the sleeping Andrei. The other guy's surrounded the bed watching him."Guys, I'll just go outside"She left and closed the door gently. She went to the nearby park and sat on the bench.While sitting there, someone sat with her. She was shocked when she looked at the girl. It's May....."Hey....""H-hey....""I'm sorry....""What for?""For ruining your relationship with Andrei.... You see, I've been seeing the both of you together and the atmosphere is just filled with love and happiness. I can see the sparkles in his eyes whenever he sees you""..........""And by witnessing that, all those bad memories are coming back to me, provoking me to make a revenge for what he did to me...""Did Andrei hurt you?""No, haha. My ex did. He'd often lie to me, saying that he's busy but the truth is that he's seeing another girl behind my back....""That's awful...""You're right. I even caught him making out with another girl in his room hehe"May laughed bitterly. A tear flowed from her eyes but she wiped it right away."And..... maybe I was just trying to revenge for what he did to me, that's why I'm keeping you away from Andrei..... I'm so sorry...."And by that time, she cried even harder. Lily is trying to calm her down at the same time trying not to cry."You aren't supposed to be feeling what I felt in the past..... It's just that it's all coming back to me, making me question myself ''Where did I lack? Why did I have to experience this? I love him sincerely, but why can't he feel it?.... Why is this so hard?....""Calm down now. No one wants this to happen..."May wiped her tears and smiled to Lily."You're so pure. I can totally feel your sincerity in your words. I feel guilty. Haha"They chuckled."I don't know why, but I can't feel anger to anyone. Whenever I feel mad, I just cry myself silently and it just fades....""You're into self comfort?""Maybe"They both laughed."Have you visited him?""Yeah, I told his parents I'm his classmate and the teacher wanted me to check up on him. Guess I'm a great lier"Lily looked down. She suddenly remembered Troy."Uh...Do you know Troy?""Yeah, he's my childhood best friend""Well, he told me about you. And he told me that he lik-"Lily holds her mouth to prevent saying anything. May looked so confused."What?""Ummm.. it's a secret...""Oh...."There was a moment of silence between the two. After a few minutes, May decided to go already."Uhm, I need to go now cause my friend might be waiting for me. Bye""Bye - bye, take care..."After May left, Lily felt relieved. She thought that she's very spoiled and don't have manners but it turns out that she's also a victim of love..."Loving someone can really hurt us sometimes...."
