Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

"Mark! Mark! Wake up" I don't know why but my mom's voice can really go deep into my nerves and can wake me up. Argh!

"Are you going to wake up or I'll—"

"Why?!" I said irritatedly and sits on the my bed. My bedroom door opens and it shows my Mom's Figure "Someone wants to see you" she also added.

"Who" I asked. "See for yourself" she answered.

She walks out my room, I'm about to stand up to go outside—my door shows a figure of a guy. My heart beats so fast as I've this familiar guy again. I've been waiting for him for a long time and finally he's here.

"C-christopher?" I utter as I try to process every single thing that happens. My Bestfriend, he is back.

I rushed to him and hugs him tight. He still smell the same, he still wear the perfume that i always love to smell.

"Hi, Mark!" he said then chuckles. I don't know why maybe this is is the happiest day of my life, because finally I have him again, and this time, I won't waste my chances anymore. It's time to make him mine.

"Topher, can you go with me in the mall?" I nervously ask. He looks at me and thinks before answering.

"What are we going to do there?" He asks and starts eating again.

"N-nothing, just wanna watch some movie and I want to treat you since you are back" I said and scratches my nape. I hope he says yes.

He hums thinking of what to answer. I hold tightly to the spoon and fork almost bending them both. Fuck, im reallly.

He nods then smiles. "Fck, yes!" I accidentally shout. "Why are you so excited?" He asks.

I shake my head and continue eating. I'll make sure that this will be the sweetest night.

"So what movie are we going to watch? hmm?" he said and put his arm around my shoulders.

I looked at the movie list, trying to look for a good movie that we should watch.

"What about this new "Star Wars" movie?" I looked at him. Here I am again, being lost with his eyes, his eyebrows, his perfect nose, his pinkish lips that I really want to kiss.

"H-hey!" he said and wave his hands infront of my face. "Are you okay? You suddenly stare at me for like 5 seconds." He chuckles.

Did I really stare at him that long? I must be crazy. "So are we going to watch Star Wars?" I ask trying to change the topic.

He nods and smiles as an answer. We go to the ticket stall to buy two tickets.

Too bad, but it's already sold out. I sigh in disappointment. "There is always next time for everything, right?" He said trying to comfort me. I pout and sulk.

"Let's go home?" He asked. I just nod and follow him.

"Wait—I have to go to the toilet"

He just laugh while following me to the restrooms. "I'll wait here. Take Care! " He laughs again. Fuck, why does his laugh need to be that cute?

I go out the toilet room so we can go back to our house, but where is Topher? I walked around the place to look for him. Where did he go? Is he messing up with me? but im not in the mood for this kind of tricks.

I walk near a restaurant here in the mall and I can't be wrong. It's him but who is he with? I look closely. There's a girl infront at him, it seems that they really have super good and funny conversation because after a long time of having him with my side he rarely show me that smile.

I laugh sarcastically to myself, it's too late Mark to pretend that you are happy. All I know that time that I was standing is my heart broke into pieces as my tear flows down from my eyes.

I should have known at first that I don't have chance to him, because he is straight. Not just he is straight, he is also my Bestfriend. I guess its time to stop myself from my illusions. We're not perfect fit. He belongs to a girl, and I belong to no one.

I walked out the mall, leaving him alone. I don't want to interrupt him. I sent him a message telling him that I'll go home first a d he didn't reply. I guess he is too busy for me. He is too busy to give me attention. Here we go again, Im crying again. How long did this things need to happen to me?

I decided to just walk and not to take a bus or a taxi because I don't want to them to look at me pitying me because I'm crying and so stupid to fall in love with my bestfriend.

I sat on one of the benches in the park. Looking at the dark sky, looking at the stars twinkling in the cold midnight sky.

I wipe my tears and trying to smile, I can't go home with this situation. I tried to calm myself and reflect to the things happens from today to the first time I met him.

Maybe, I'm just watching too much series and let myself be carried away that's why I fell for him. Why am I so stupid? Why am I like this?

Im crying again, as the rain pours. I guess Mother Earth wants to say condelence to my poor heart, that is now broken.

My body is now wet and I don't know where to go. Im really messed up. I moved a bit at the corner of the bench and hugged myself because of cold.

I closed my eyes waiting for this day to be done. I wish tommorow everything will be alright. I wish I can be the old Win again.

I can still here the rain but suddenly I don't feel any raindrops pouring at me. I opened my eyes and looked up.

"Come with me." The guy with the umbrella said.

"Who—Yukito?" What is he doing here? Nevermind, the important thing here is—

He is here with me. This guy.
