Episode 3: friends

Everyone was inside Jay's ward. Shelly was crying as she was holding Jay's hand. Minu, June and Vinny are. staying quiet. And as for Dom, he was sobbing non-stop while Yuna tried to calm him down.

A week has passed since the incident, and no one was getting over it.

Shelly's grandfather tried his best to cheer the girl up but nothing changes, she also didn't even go to school.

"Shelly... If you insist, you can always go back, if there are too many memories he-" he was cut off by Shelly immediately saying no.

Minu, since he is still in the hospital, he always looks after on Jay.

June is always visiting when he's free.

Dom, Yuna, and Mia, are the only three who has been going to school this last few days.

And as for Vinny, every chance he could get, Yuna will take Minu out of Jay's ward, he would stay there, holding the raven hair's hand. Everytime he would leave, he will always kissed Jay's hand, sometimes he's forehead, cheeks, or lips...

Shelly's phone has been buzzing non-stop lately, her childhood friend is always texting and calling her.

Shelly didnt even bother picking up, she was too tired, she didnt even tried to eat. Always staying in her room.

Bags under her eyes were so dark that you couldn't if it was paint or not.

Mia made plan to get Shelly back on their feet. Since she was the only one who was not visiting Jay.

Mia went to her apartment. She rang the doorbell and it opened, there her principal stood.

Mia immediately bowed, "I'm sorry for interrupting, sir!"

"No, no, that's okay... I assume that you are trying to get Shelly back, correct?" he asked

"Ah yes, sir!"

He sighed, "well come in... She is in her room, please make her feel better... I'll be going, now." he said.

Mia knocked on her door.

"Shelly?" she called her name. No answer.

"Shelly, please open up. Everyone is getting worried. And you haven't even visited Jay yet."

No answer.

"I know you are heartbroken, but please... Jay must really miss you, he can't feel your warmth if you're not there, can't he?"

No answer.

"You had a rough week. The you that seems to be under constant storm clouds. The you that feels like their life is slipping by. The one that has lost faith. You blamed yourself for everything that goes wrong." She yelled. Mia was already dripping tears. She put her forehead on the door.

"You are incredible, you make Jay a better person. You have so much potential snd things left to do, you have time. Better things are coming your way, please hang in there. You can do wonderful things." Right now, she was already gripping her pants.

She wiped her tears, and sighed. 'I guess there is no-' her thoughts were stopped by when the door was open.

Shelly fully opened the door, there revealed her, her eyes look like it was lifeless.

She started sobbing and she kneeled infront of Mia.

"I'm sorry!" she shouted, "I'm sorry that I wasn't there for him! Please... Forgive me..."

Mia immediately stepped in and held her in her arms. "It's not your fault. But you should apologize on Jay."

Mia had managed to comfort Shelly, eventually she fell asleep.
