Abhi's POV: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I stood there in what seemed to be a mixture of anger and shock. What had I just done?! I groaned in frustration, throwing my pillow at the wall. I didn't really mean to act like that, I just couldn't control it. My mind jumped from thought to thought, from Naina's crying face, to Aman's bruised one. I paced the room in anger, trying to stop my boiling blood. I kicked out, my foot colliding with with the corner of the bed.

"Shit!" I hissed, grabbing my foot. Quickly, an angry red swell began rising. I continued my pacing, but at a limping level. I passed the mirror, and stepped back in surprise. My face was bruised, and heavily so. I'd need to acquire ice without letting anyone know. A small trickle of blood was happily making its way down my chin from my lip. I quickly grabbed a tissue and pressed it to my lip. And then I was back to pacing.

"Oh my god," I whispered. I just realized that I had hurt Naina. I, Abhi, hurt Naina. I slammed her against a wall. That's why she was crying. Shit. Shit. Shit shit SHIT. And Aman. Why did I punch him over something so stupid? Regret flooded through me, and I gazed at my bruising knuckles with guilt I had never before experienced.

I need to apologise to Aman first, then I have little more a chance of getting Naina to apologise to me. I go into the bathroom and do my best to clean up the cuts and bruises on my knuckles as well as my lips. I change my clothes, and grab my phone and wallet and rushed out of the dorm. I ran down the stairs, rushing past the elevator. I have no time to wait around. The quicker I do this then the quicker life can get back to being somewhat normal.

I rush out the door and scan the grounds, and there I see Aman. He is sitting further down on the lawn, staring straight ahead. I sighed and walked up to him. I don't even know where to start but starting is better than doing nothing at all.

"Hey! Aman!" I shout out, hoping that I caught his attention. He sat there, in the same position, ignoring me completely.

I jog up and sit myself next to him.

"Aman? Hear me out bro, please. I have an explanation to all of this, well, at least some form of an explanation." I sighed. There was no point getting his attention so I went straight ahead and started talking.

"What I did was stupid....really stupid. I lunged at you without hearing you guys out. I shouldn't have reacted violently either way. You guys are important to me, especially Naina. And what I did to her, it...it was completely and utterly stupid. I feel like shit. I acted like a little shit. I know that you aren't going to forgive me but I need you to know that I feel absolutely shit after what happened. I wasn't think-"

"I know that you weren't thinking! If you were thinking then none of this would happen." Aman scoffs at me. His head still looking straight ahead." You screwed this one up really badly, Abhi. Naina hates the two of us. And I really like Naina. Not in the 'she's hot, let me have fun with her' way. I genuinely like her. I tried running after her but she wouldn't listen to me. I only fought back because you hurt her and I don't want anyone hurting her."

We sat in silence. He really likes Naina. Why am I stopping them from being together? It's not like I have a crush on Naina or something. She is my best friend and that's all. And I can trust Aman, he isn't a complete douche.

"Yeah. I know, I messed up badly but I need your help now. There is no way in hell Naina is going to forgive me for this. She will forgive you more easily compared to myself. Please Aman. Naina means a lot to me and I can't have her hating me, no matter how long." I pleaded with Aman. More silence. I silently prayed that he would say yes. If I could regain any sort of friendship then I need Aman's help.

"Fine. I'll help." He sighed and turned his head towards me. "But that doesn't mean I have forgiven you. " His face was softer than before but it was still evident that he hadn't let his guard down or whatever.

"Thank you so much man!" Relief washed over me. Thank god Aman decided to help otherwise who knows what I would have had to do to get both of them to forgive me.

"So, what's the plan?" Aman asked.
