HIM and My WHYS [ PerthSaint ] Unedited

Chapter 14: If I can't have you...

L O V E

It's been a week since I last talked to Perth. A week full of guilt, sorrow and pain. I'm still hurt. I'm still weak. I'm still pathetic. Luckily, Perth followed what I said and didn't bother me for a while. I'm starting to heal but no one said even healing hurts.

I'm at the library, seating on the corner while finishing my assignment so that I can go to the Student Council office and do some paper works that I don't understand mostly.

I almost flinched when I felt a presence that sat on the chair in front of me. It's Bright, so I looked at my left and saw Plan, Zee and Perth approaching us. I gulped hard, what are they doing here?

" Hey Love. " All of them greeted me except for Perth who's just looking at me.

" H-hi. I don't want to sound rude or anything but what are you doing here? " I said which made Plan and Bright giggle, Zee just frowned and Perth was still staring.

" We missed hanging out with you. " Plan said while attempting to hug me but I didn't let him.

" I'll appreciate it if you guys just tell me why. " I said with all my seriousness.

" Oh-kay. " Bright said awkwardly probably sensing that something is wrong.

" We want to invite you at Perth's birthday tomorrow. " Zee said with a blank face. Is he angry at me or what?

Of course I know it's Perth's birthday tomorrow but I had no plans of coming.

" I can't. " I said firmly.

" What? Why? " Plan asked genuinely confused.

" I have lots of paperwork to do at the office. " I lied while looking at the scattered books on the table.

" C'mon, Love. Even just for an hour? " Bright said and I just shook my head.

" How about 30 minutes? " Plan asked and I just shook my head again wishing they'll stop convincing me.

" How about- " Bright was cut by Perth.

" Stop. " Perth said then I heard him sigh. " It'll be great of you could come, we'll be waiting for you. " He said then I heard his footsteps slowly fading away.

The other guys left me too with frown on their faces. This is just mess up, what am I supposed to do?

I was supposed to be in a mall not in front of Perth's house. Maybe, I felt guilty. Am I just here because I felt guilty? I don't know.

Before I could even think straight my stupid hand already rang their doorbell. Perth's mom opened the door and greeted me with a bright smile.

" Oh my favorite girl! Come and join us! " She said then lead me inside their house and to the dining where everybody was.

" Thank you Mom. " I told her shyly. She was the one who insisted me to call her that. She's very blunt of liking me and always say I'm her favorite girl which I'm really glad.

When we arrived at the dining they were all shocked to see me. Bright, Plan and Zee was the first ones to recover and gave me a hug. I noticed Mean, Win and Saint smiling at me so I smiled back. Perth later on got up and hugged me. It was warm and comfortable. I wish he can just hug me forever.

" Thank you for coming. " He said with a smile so I smiled back.

" Happy Birthday. " I told him.
