JANE'S POV
"What?" I said in shock as I heard what the man in the other line said. "Okay, I'm on my way. And mister whoever you are, don't you dare leave her, and don't you dare touch her, or else I'll hunt you and I'll rip your eyes down. Got it?" I added as I quickly put on my killer heels.
I heard his weak sigh on the other line. "Even though she's pretty, she's definitely not my type," the person on the other line said coldly.
I'm here now in Selene's room and I'm waiting for her to come home because I wish I could comfort her. It may sound like I'm a bad person because I'm one of the reasons why she's hurting, yet I'm here to help her. That's the only thing I can do for her... because I know how painful it is for her to be left by the man she loves without her even knowing the reason.
That's why I'm wondering because Selene still hasn't come home at seven in the evening. Even those people with her here at home are worried about her because she ran away to fetch him. Tss. That woman had the guts to get drunk at the bar because she's 18, and she had the guts to go to the bar alone?
She didn't even invite me. She seems to be very angry with the world today.
"Shut up," I said then I hung up the phone and I ran out of Selene's house.
I got on my black motorbike. I put on my black helmet and started my motor as fast as I was chasing someone.
Selene is not the kind of girl who goes to the bar and gets drunk. She doesn't even know the different types of wine and alcohol. And lastly, she's alone! The Fudge! What am I going to do if something bad happens to her at the bar? I can't forgive myself!
Especially I know that I am one of the reasons why they are hurting like this.
But what can I do? I made it on the easy way first but it didn't work on them. I played like a cupid. Their meet-ups, I planned them with the help of someone. I didn't expect a slap to happen, but at least they fell for each other, didn't they? And first, I thought when I brought them closer to each other, there was hope that they would realize what they really felt about each other.
But a complicated circumstance happened.
Kent has an HCM. It is heart disease and in Kent's case, it's severe. His heart disease is so bad that even though he already loves Selene, he decided to stay away from her.
But that's a stupid decision, for me at least. Kent only needs a heart donor now and he can live for a long time, with Selene. Although it seems hard to find a heart donor that will match his body, I know we will do everything. We'll never give up.
We can't let him die just like that. If I have to give my heart just to keep him alive, I'll gladly do it.
That's why I decided to make another plan, the hard way. I separated them with the help of Kayleigh. I decided to give them space on their own. I just thought that maybe when they have a distance from each other, they will realize what their hearts really say.
That's just my first motive.
Remember what I just said before? If I make this plan successful, I'll hit three birds with one stone.
First, to make them realize what they really feel. That they could not live without each other. That life is happier when the two of them are together... and for when they have a relationship after that, they can't be separated by just anyone.
Even me.
Second, to make Kent realize that there is still a reason for him to fight in his HCM. For him to still have a reason to live. And that is Selene. I don't know what Kent is thinking, why does he give up so quickly? He immediately thinks of those things that haven't happened yet. He's in the future while he can still do something in the present.
I know I am not in his position, but I am speaking as someone who can see both perspectives since I am outside of the situation.
We're here to help him. Actually, Kayleigh, Isabella, Selene, and I are willing to help him. We're doing our own ways to find someone who can donate a heart to him.
And lastly, for me to realize that Selene is Kent's life now. That Selene is the one Kent loves... and not me anymore.
I love him. I still love him even after all these years.
But I also love my best friend.
And because I knew they loved each other, I decided to just let go of how I felt... even the pain. I decided to let go of everything.
Maybe you think I'm a villain, don't you? Because I'm trying to ruin my best friend's happiness. But it's for them. This is not for me. I don't know why I'm doing this even though I'm already in so much pain.
Maybe because... I just love them both. Love is my motivation to endure the pain if this is the only way they can be happy afterward.
Sometimes I think, if I could fight for Kent, if I couldn't let Kent get close to Selene, if I didn't stay away from him, and if I didn't hurt him, if Selene couldn't come into our lives ... will we be together again? Is there any hope that he will come back to me if the cause of his worsening illness is the pain I embedded in his heart?
I'm sure not.
I guess we're not just meant for each other.
We're not just meant to be.
I went inside and looked for where Selene was standing but I couldn't find her. All eyes are on me and I just hate it. I freakin hate it.
"All of you, stop staring! Shit," I shouted which is why they avoided their gaze at me. Is this their first time seeing a woman like me? Fools.
Tch. I'm wearing black skinny jeans and a black tube. Then I just let my hair down. I just got back from Gangsta's Paradise before I went to Selene's so I couldn't change my clothes because I was in a hurry to come here.
I know I look hot... but that's not a reason for them to stare at me. Tss.
I took my cell phone and called Selene's number. Just one more ring, and someone answered right away.
"Where are you?" I asked, annoyed.
It's so dark in here and the disco lights gave me an eyesore! Annoying! I just put one hand over my eyes so that the lights wouldn't hurt my eyes too much.
"Chill. I didn't do anything bad to your friend. She was peacefully sleeping here. Second floor, room 202. Hurry up because I'm going somewhere but I can't get out of here."
He hung up the phone first, so I bit my lower lip, feeling annoyed because no one dares to hang up the phone on me, especially when I'm the caller. In fact, he didn't know who I was so he did it. I'll just let it pass for now.
I ran up to the second floor and looked for room 202. Fortunately, that room was only here in the hallway, so I didn't have much trouble finding it.
I didn't bother to knock and immediately went inside. It may be rude, but I wanted to know if he's doing something to my Selene. I sighed in relief when I saw Selene lying on the bed and sleeping, and the man with her was just sitting in the corner of the room, a bit far from Selene, while smoking.
He's probably the one I talked to earlier. How clever he is to call me using the speed dial, huh?
"And last, you're here," the man said, bored.
He's wearing an all-black suit but he looks messed up... and hot.
"Thank you for taking care of her," I said and lifted Selene like a sack. She's slim, though. In the training I went through, it was easy for me to lift her up.
He looked at me with an amused gaze, but I don't care. I'm used to such looks so it's not new to me. I was about to leave room 202 when he blocked me and brought his face close to mine.
"W-What are you doing?" I asked, and I didn't know why did I stutter when I asked him that.
He looks hot. And I hate it because he's destructing me.
I sighed in relief as he wiped the bottom of my eye. I thought he was going to kiss me, but it's okay that he didn't.
"You're crying," that's all he told me before he walked out the door and left me alone inside room 202.
I'm crying? So, does that mean the eyeliner has already spread in my eyes before? Tss. That's why they look at me. Maybe they thought I was going crazy because I was crying while at the bar.
People call me emotionless. No matter what is going on around me, I don't show any kind of emotion. I may be crying without knowing it, but my facial expression will always be the same.
A resting bitch face.
I only show my true emotions to Selene... because she is also the only one who doesn't judge my personality.
"Thank you..." I murmured before I walked out of that room.
When we got out of the bar, I put Selene behind me and I drove my motorcycle, but not fast. I am afraid that Selene would fall if I do that. She still can't hold on to me properly as she was unconscious.
"Kent... why?" I heard Selene mention it while she was sleeping. Even in her dream, Kent was still on her mind.
"Selene, I'm sorry..." I whispered while driving. "Just a little patience."
I will make the way for you to separate, so I will also make the way for you to meet.
I never believed in fairytale stories and in happy endings, but... even with the two of them, I hope the ending that I have long dreamed of for them will happen.
A happy ending.
