10-bleeding heart

Simon"

'Cheers!!' 

'next question! Do you experience falling to fall in love with someone?!"

I hear my friends shouting, maybe they are playing spin bottle questions and answers. But not like other natural spins the bottle game our friends game is different one question then all of us need to answer one by one and it would start to where the head of the bottle stops. 

I heard them again shouting 

"Eleza!! woooh" 

"one, two, three!" 

"Yes!" Eleza shout

"Hmm, who is that babe?" Jonah asks, playful. As I heard they are drunk already. 

"tsk! How many hours did I go exactly? as I remember it's only one hour only or so."

Eleza giggle and shout and sound so drunk 

"Simon Henderson!" 

"That was exactly what I heard as I opened my door." 

I instantly stop and look at them. 

And so are they. 

"Simon?" Leo only say

Eleza immediately stands up and walks closer to him. She's walking like a drunk girl at the club. 

"Simon, how long have you been there?" 

"Long enough to hear anything you've been talking about."

"Sy..."

"Eleza I know you are drunk and your word doesn't mean anything."

I chuckle 

"ok let's celebrate can we?" 

all the boys stand up and pat my shoulder and leave one by one

"I think you need to talk first," Chase said. 

until Eleza and I were only left

she is standing facing me. 

"Lez... please don't go there."

He knows exactly what she's going to say but still, her confession makes him shocked. He knows that Eleza likes him so much but still he ignores it because for him Eleza is like a sister to him. 

"Sy, I have to say this for once. I don't want to pretend anymore that I'm just a friend."

"Yes, I'm such a cold, cause I'm foolishly falling in love with my childhood friend. And you know what would be much stupid could be is?"

"That thought maybe we were meant to be. That someday you would see me as me and not just a friend. But that's never happened. Because you fall in love with a girl who I will never see in the future."

"Sy do you think is so unfair? I'm the one who is always at your side whatever the world throws at you. I'm the one who can understand you better than anyone. God! Say I do everything I could just to make you love me too. Cause I love you so much. Please let me be the one Sy, I'll do everything that it takes."

Eleza said pleading and he didn't know what to say. He can't create or produce a not hurtful word in his mind. But he did it anyway... 

I sigh

" I'm sorry Eleza. I don't wanna say this but I have to... I committed to her whether you like it or not, I will marry her. I can't see my future anymore without her."

That night his best girlfriend cried and he couldn't do anything to help her. Cause he's the reason why her heart is bleeding. 

.... 

He can't sleep that night knowing his best girlfriend is hurting because of him and all his friends are there to accompany her. 

Maybe I need to stay away from them for a little while. 

... 

He woke up with the sound of his clock. He set the alarm last night for him to wake up earlier. 

he had to be ready for his date. 

Eliza's word is true, it's so unfair because he can smile after he hurt his best friend last night. 

But he can't help it, his lips forming into a smile whenever he thinks of her. 

He's afraid of himself now cause this is the first time he acts this way. 

After doing his morning ritual, He changed into a simple v-neck shirt black leather jacket on top and black ripped jeans. 

He drove to Candy's... 

from the time he saw Candy walking out of the gate, he was stunned. 

She painstakingly wears a blue shoulder off dress above the knee. Her beautiful long hair cascades along with the wind as always. 

She's looking at him with sparkling eyes. 

"Hey! he said" 

she's smiling at me again. And he thinks now the world is perfectly perfect. 

"Hey, handsome."

he scratches his nape

Her complement feels him suddenly embarrassed. 

why is that? He's used to being always complemented by others but now coming from Candy feels different. 

"wow my fiance is blushing, why not be called handsome?" 

He thinks he blushed more to the word my fiance. Fuck such a gay. 

"stop teasing me soon to be Mrs. Henderson. We have a long day ahead, are you ready?" 

Candy nod. but like him, the girl is blushing too. wonder what makes her blush like that much. 

He opens the passenger seat door for her, then he drives a bit so that he opens the window shield for her. 

" thank you," she says with a smile on her face. He pulled away into the parking lot and as they arrived at the mall and stopped the engine. 

The sun is not totally so hot but burning inside. He excitedly opened the door again for her. 

"You ready?" 

"of course!" 

Candy holds his arms as they walk at the entrance of the mall.

he thinks he's going to bust with so much joy... 

They enter every boutique they see and buy a lot of things, clothes, shoes, dress, jewelry, and even the baby boutique. They didn't make its escape. They buy nothing but of course what they are going to do with it right? 

They just simply wander around, play baby things, and make the clerks annoyed. 

there are laughing nonstop. Until they enter into the one particular boutique and see someone make their good day turn into a bad one.

As the two couples picked something to buy into that boutique Candy stayed still looking at them. With so much hatred she turns away and grabs Simon outside.

I hold her face to make me see her close up, into her eyes is visible tears coming out.

"Don't cry pretty babe he's not worth it." 

He was regarding the guy inside the boutique with some random girl with him.

He instantly wants to punch Kian and ruin their day.

"It's almost lunch, do you wanna eat?" 

she replied with a nod only.

He tightens his fist while the other one is grabbing Candy's hand.
