Lie of Heartbreak

07

"Did I really?"

Rain burst into laughter after Rose told him about what happened. It was 1 day after the accident. Both Rose didn't have a game 2 days straight, but Devon has a game so Rose and Rain are alone in the hospital.

"Why are you laughing? Stupid." Rose rolled his eyes.

"Aw, worried?" Rain winked, "Too bad I didn't win."

"Of course I was worried!" Rose admitted, embarrassed.

"Aww," Rain blew a flying kiss and laughed, "What did she say?" Rain's expression changed.

"I ignored calls from her," Rose said.

"Omg! How bold of you to ignore my mom's calls finding me," Rain gasped, laughing after.

"Not like I wanted to talk to her," Rose said, sighing, "Please stop laughing and rest yourself instead."

"Nah," Rain stuck his tongue out, "Where's Ziel?"

"Ziel? Dalziel? Why are you still finding him?" 

"He's gone... right?" Rain asked.

"He is," Rose said, "He hurt you, multiple times, right?"

Rain nodded, "But I'm okay now, shut up. Doesn't your boyfriend have a game today?"

"Yeah... but I need to stay here with you," Rose mumbled.

Rain laughed, "I would love it if you went to Devon's game, but I really don't want to be alone right now. Sorry, Devon."

"It's okay," Rose said, "I'm sure he understands."

"Of course! It's Devon, of course, he does." Rain smiled, "Now tell me honestly."

"What?" Rose looked at Rain.

"Do you like Devon, Rose?" Rain asked, smiling.

Rose's face then flushed, "What are you saying? We're best friends."

"I noticed it from the very beginning. You don't need to deny it anymore." Rain giggled, "I want to smack your head so you can finally make up your mind and stop running away."

"You wouldn't dare," Rose laughed.

"Yeah," Rain smiled, "Stop running away, Rose."

"Mhm, I'll stop. I love Devon, Rain. I really do."

"I'm so nervous!" Houda said, tapping his thigh with his fingers.

"Don't be nervous," Aiden patted his back.

"Rain, your shoelace," Kade knelt in front of Rose and tied his shoelace, "Be careful, hm?"

"Yes, Kade." Rose smiled.

Kade blushed, sitting beside Rose, "Do you have any plans tomorrow?"

"Saturday? I... don't think so, why?" Rose looked at him.

"I just wanted to ask if you wanted to go out and eat some breakfast tomorrow?" Kade scratched the back of his head.

"Sure, Kade," Rose smiled.

"Ah! Really?" Kade looked at Rose.

"Of course." Rose smiled again.

"Okay, guys. Let's warm-up!" Thorn shouted.
