" Carter is so hot ". She squeals. I know to scoop on someone is bad, but she is almost announcing. My heart shreds apart as I hear her. Passing through the corridor with my head buried, I don't want her to see me. But I do peek at her, she has Ivy on her right, gina after her, and Dina and Olivia on her left side, and like forever, she is in between. Giggling at something. Her cheeks hit up turning a shade of red. She is wearing a pink beanie, while her long locks are gusting in the cold breeze, her nose is already red due to cold, her navy blue eyes twinkle as she giggles more.

My heart thumps at seeing her, but I control myself. I make my way towards her. They all stop and eye me from up and down except her. Hi, I wanted to say but couldn't.

Shaking my head, I leave without uttering a word. What a move right?

" weirdo " gina mutters. Fuck, I can never be like Carter. He is bold, raw, handsome above all extremely rich similar to Avery and I am out of her league that's what Max says. Somehow, Max doesn't know that Avery & Carter are discreetly dating. Even I never told him. It doesn't just feel right to do it.

I can't break her for my happiness, I want her but she doesn't. She doesn't even know I exist. While for me, none of them exists but only Avery does. She is the brightest sophomore, excellent in academics, the light of these haunted corridors. She is the breeze that makes the atmosphere feel like spring. All the bright colors of a rainbow in one. Above all, she is the apple of Max's eye. The switch that Carter had turned on, to make his black life better.

Until her, I never felt alive but now I do, it's still painful to see her but not have her. I would die but would never admit this, that I have beaten all the fuck boys of our school to stop them to reach her. No one would believe me, even I don't. I can't even kill an insect, then hitting the boys who are double the size of me. Out raging 

I have tried to move on but it just feels like torturing myself. Our feelings have never been mutual.

I pull the beanie over my head, the temperature has dropped below 30 degrees. I move past the corridors filled with the smell of rich money.

" Take care man, everything is fine over here ". I lied, cutting the call. I can't tell him that Max is in hospital, on his death bed taking his last breath how? cause he got a concussion why? Cause he was playing soccer as your substitute. That sounds almost shit.

Eric is already going through surgery, he got an Achilles tear and left. He can afford surgery and Max can't & I know if I will inform him. The next minute, I know he will be here paying the bills for Max's surgery so that he can survive.

It's all twisted as fuck

Still, I would have informed him if I wouldn't have promised Max. I can break my promise, I am not Eric.

Cliche as fuck I know.

But he can't he never had. Once you will see him, you will think I am lying cause he doesn't seem like the one who won't. He is the one who breaks all the rules, there are no barriers in Eric's life.

Either anything is too extreme or nothing at all.

Baffling my hair, I peek at the closed two white doors. There is no sign of good news. Terror is building inside me, the more they are taking time. The more I am worried. The heads of our school are standing patiently, and I feel the urge to chop their head off with the surgical equipment. The clock struck at midnight making a squeaking sound that fills the room. The whole corridor is pinned drop silence outside the I.C.U. I don't even know what is going to happen, it's like I would never be mentally prepared for whatever they will say.

Who the fuck even allowed them to send a person in the field who has never played soccer in his life.

I peek at Avery who is sitting with her hands buried on her face. I have never seen her this much pulled taut.

The doctor comes out, I peek up to look at her. My heart is ready to burst out of my chest, her expressions are giving me bad vibes. We all go near her, even Avery stood up. No

Seeing her expressions, I want to bury myself right here, because I have never seen such a devastating look. The lump in my throat gets bigger making it more difficult for me to breathe.

" Sorry, we couldn't ". She declares sadly. Everything around me feels like crumbling into million tiny pieces. I shake my head in denial, while tears well up in my eyes.

Fuck

The next sound is of Avery sobbing which breaks out through the room. She falls and I grab her in time. She sobs loudly in the crook of my neck. The professors stare at us out of pity & I want to cut their skulls off in this instant. My tears flood down drenching her hair, she is still moaning loudly.

" you are lying " her hoarse voice growls. " let me see him". she roars standing up. Before I could stop her, she barges inside the room. I follow her. Certainly, no one stops her. She pulls the cover over Max's face. My hearts rip apart, while more tears flood down. " Max " she shouts. I look at his dead face, which use to be so playful. Never in his life, he was sad. All the color has drained from his face, he looks pale. I too shake my head in denial. She moans loudly and the doctor orders us to leave.

Freaking idiots

I wrap my arms around her, pulling her in my embrace. More tears knockdown. I need to control myself. For her. And in that instant, I gave up Everything, all the feelings all the love.

I will keep my promise, Max. I will take care of her like a brother, like you. I won't let anyone taint her. I promise, never even for a second, I will let her feel as if his brother has died. I will be the best brother for her.
