"Oh, Why are you running, haven't you still find the comfort room?", Ellise said before taking a big bite of lasagna as she found Calbee looks so exhausted and still catching her breath.
"Or ish shomeone chaswing you?", Ellise murmured while chewing her favorite food.
"Tell me how many rounds did you take?", Calbee said while catching her breath, 2 hours had passed by before she come back but Ellise is not done with her meal yet.
There's no person around her now, she's the only costumer left.
*gulp*
"Maybe just a t-twenty?", Ellise said after gulping which due to her nervousness it made her swallow the lasagna without munching it totally.
Seriously Ellie 20 meals with the same courses?! Aren't you being so satiated?
*cough* *cough*, Ellise accidentally swallowed a big part and it was hard for it to pass on her throat which made her feel uneasy
"Who told you to talk while eating?", Calbee said and let out a soft laugh.
Calbee thought it was normal not until Ellise is unable to cough and speak, Ellise eyes are getting more pop and wide and her hand supporting her neck to let herself breath, her body position leans extremely to the table and her other hand pressures so much on her chest.
She's panting so hard!
"I-I need to call Miss Katherine!", Calbee said and about to leave when Ellise reached her wrist, her hand is called and she's gripping Calbee's hand so tight as the tear drops from her eyes, she's struggling with her breath, it's like Ellise is telling her not to leave.
"Ellise..", Calbee feel so guilty if she left her, what if she fell unconscious.
If only she hasn't let her wait there for almost two hours, none of this would happen.
I need to face this then...
Calbee rashes towards Ellise and Stand behind her. Calbee may not be an expert but her best friend is in need, she feel guilty for not taking it seriously.
This choke is severe, she can't breathe anymore.
Calbeee places her arms around Ellise waist and carry her to stand as she bend her forward.
She clench her abdominal fist and place it right above her belly button while putting the other hand on top of her fist as she pulled it sharply inwards and upwards.
*Pull*, Ellise feel like she wanna vomit but still it doesn't came out yet.
*another pull*, Calbee's heart is now on panic, but she feel that the choking is getting milder, so she keeps going.
*pulled* For the third time finally the huge piece of lasagna sprung out of Ellise mouth.
*cough* *cough* *cough*
Calbee rub Ellise back lightly, to comfort her, but still you'll see how disappointed she is.
Ellise can feel every stroke from Calbee's hand rubbing on her back, she feels safe now.
Ellise catches her breath heavily, you can hear her loud breathing that is so thick and rough, after the incident. Calbee is still so worried.
Ellie tell me that you're okay.
"I'm sorry...", Calbee whispered towards Ellie, as she uttered those words, her heart feels so heavy as well as the tears on her eyes become so heavy... She feels like she's not enough at every body, not just studying here at the university, but also at her best friend what else can she do right?
"...", Ellise turned around and hugged her so tight.
"T-thank you...You're the best Calbee!", Ellise said as her tear flows like a stream, and every shedding tears are so emotional, I can feel her sobbing every seconds.
"Why are you so emotional Ellie", Calbee whispered as she hugs her back.
"W-what if you're--not here, then--I'll die.", Ellie said and cried loudly like a baby and wipes her tears like a child while still hugging Calbee.
"Hey, I'm the reason why you fall on that situation, you don't have to thank me like this.", Calbee detach from her hug as she look at her on her teary eyes meaningfully.
"N-no, that's not just it--."
*sniffs*
*sobs*
"Y-you see, if I die I won't be seeing you anymore.", Ellise continued
*sniffs*
"And--.",
*sobs*
"When I die, I only spent the entire day with you--."
*sniffs*
"It's like we just met a few moments ago--."
*sob*
"t-then when the night comes we are destined to be separated forever.",
"I-it's u *sobs* -unfair!!", the sour face that she shows is all awe from her heart to Calbee.
"Hey, no Ellie you're not gonna die anyways, your just gonna fell unconscious. Don't over think things, come here.", Calbee said as she hugs Ellise so tight with full of love within her heart, both of their eyes are full of sincerity and affection with each other, even though they just meet each other with just a short span of time, they're already like sisters, she could feel her sobbings getting slower and more calmer than before, which make the atmosphere at relief.
"We just met this day, and I don't wanna lose you this day too!", Ellise cried again.
You're safe now Ellie why are you crying like I'm going to leave you!? Well, I am really going to lea--
"Shh, Miss Katherine could hear us. I understand calm down now okay?", Calbee said while hugging her, her smile is 50 percent happy and 50 percent unhappy, there's something in her heart that feels like a handicap.
" I don't care as long as I'm with you, I'm happy your like my sister to me, so don't leave me okay?", Ellise said while fixing her self up and she still looks cute even though her eyes were puffy and her face is still red.
"...", Calbee just nod her head, she know that she needs to leave, she already decided, she knows that she would disappoint Ellise if she leave but she would be more disappointed when she said that she'll never leave her when she need to leave.
I'm sorry Ellie I need to leave the university, it's not like I don't wanna be with you, you're my best friend, and you're like my sister I never had a sister, and you made me feel how does it feel like to have a sister... However I just feel that I'm not enough to be here, I don't wanna be the dumbest student in this university, I need to drop the university I don't deserve it here.
"Calbee, I don't wanna eat anymore.", Ellise said with a baby tone while sniffing, she still got those runny nose and yet she looks cute.
"Why, is it because your full already?", Calbee replied and her eyes squint slightly as her mouth widens purely with happiness of her glowing face.
"No, I don't have the appetite to eat, I wanna go to sleep.", Ellise said and pouted he mouth and showed Calbee her cute large eyes.
"It's six pm yet? That's too early are you sure?", Calbee replied.
"B-but, I'm tired, crying is really tiring.", Ellise said followed with a yawn.
I never thought that a cheerful person like Ellie also cries a lot.
"Okay, as long as Ellie is happy!", Calbee said as she widens a pretty cute smile.
"Why, is Calbee not happy?", Ellise said bringing the inside corners of her eyebrow up, which made her cute.
"No, I'm happy, as long as you're happy.", Calbee said as the corner of her lips lift up like a light bulb.
"No, I'm happy when YOU'RE happy!", Ellise said and snorted again, which made Calbee's heart feels so warm as she gave a huge press on that YOU'RE word.
But some how there's still a part of her that feels so confused and sad, she feels so empty.
You're happy as long as I'm happy, does that mean when I leave you, you'll be happy for me too? S-should I really leave, I-I'll be missing you Ellie...
"Calbee, watchu waiting for?LET'S GO!!!", Ellise yelled and pulled Calbee by her hand outside the Canteen
"B-but we haven't paid yet--."
"I already paid on the counter, and there's Miss Katherine waving a bye at you, but you're dumbfounded so you didn't notice.", Ellise explained it so fast and in her normal voice which is the cheerful tune.
Calbee wave a bye to Miss Katherine on a far view while Ellise is still muttering something.
Why am I not focusing on the present moment, it's my last day I need to treasure this last moment with Ellie, it just doesn't feel so right.
I will still be missing you as soon as I'm gone my Ellie...
*internally sighs*
If only I was good enough to be brave...
