(Don't forget to hear the song 👆)
*~*~*~*~*~

We stared at each other, ignoring the world around us. It had only been a few days, but I felt like It had been ages. I held back my body as it was dying to throw itself in his arms. I clenched my fingers into a fist as they went crazy to run between those soft, lustrous hair. I bit my lips because.....because they wanted to kiss him so badly that my heart scrunched.

"How have you...." before he could finish his sentence, I turned and started to take long steps, in a hurry to run away from him.

My ears were buzzing, and my heart was beating so fast against my rib cage. That was too much to handle. My mind wasn't ready to face him yet.

"Liza, wait!" When I was almost at the exit, Oli grabbed my forearm and stopped me. "Oh god, you are so fast!" She was panting hard.

"You tricked me!" I hissed.

"Yeah, sue me!" She hissed back. I turned around to leave again.

"Wait, wait, wait!" She quickly changed her tone. "I am sorry! I am really sorry, alright!" I glared at her. My inside was fuming with anger.

"Do you really care about me?" I yelled at her. "What were you thinking..."

"Ryder founded Ron in his study room six days ago," Oli interrupted me, "fainted." Sadness took over her eyes as she finished her sentence.

My breath hitched.

"The doctor said it was a miracle that he was still alive." Oli sniffled a little. "Because the only thing he intake after you left, only alcohol, till then." she looked up and blinked for a few times to prevent her tears from falling. That was the first time I saw Oli to cry.

"I don't..... Care." I felt my heart start to pump rapidly. That hurt. "Why are you saying this to me?"

Oli rubbed her nose which became red because of crying. She tucked some loose strands of hairs behind her ear and looked at me.

"I know, my act was selfish and I am sorry." She bit her lower lip. "I really am. But can you please talk to him for a few minutes." I was ready to say no, but Oli quickly held my hands. "Please, just this once listen to my request. After that I will only hear you. I promise."

"Oli." I groaned in frustration. "There's nothing to talk about really. I already saw and knew everything."

"Please." Oli pleaded desperately. "Only a few minutes. I won't ask more."

My eyes started to prick with tears again. "Oli, I....please...I am too weak to handle this now." I whispered, trying to control my emotions.

"I promise," Oli said again. "After this I won't ask anything anymore."

I rubbed my face tired. I felt like my every ounce of energy was drained and worn out.

"Fine." I finally gave up.

We headed back to the party. Ron was still waiting for us on the same spot, I left him. I ran my eyes all over him. Yes, he looked like he lost some of his weight. His complexion also didn't look radiant like usual. Gosh! I was so pathetic! It wasn't because Of Oli. I came back because the moment I heard about him I was quivering like a lost child. I hate myself so much that I loved him to that extent.

I picked up a wine glass from a passing waiter and went straight to him. I stood in front of him and looked into his eyes.

Strong Liza! Be strong!
