Harry : The roof again? How many times do we've to tell you to stop going there.

As she hears the harsh words coming from her best friend, she loses all the strength that she had left. But he keeps talking,

Harry : you realize how serious this is right Bhargavi? Why would you let him get on the roof when you know he is scared of heights.

Silent tears are now unstoppable, she is crying her eyes out when Ethan finally speaks,

Ethan : It's not her fault, he was only trying to get up the roof.

Michael : stay out of this, Brooke!

Ethan : Believe me I want to, but Bhargavi alone is not to be blamed in this accident.

And then Ethan leaves, Bhargavi wants to go too but Akash is holding her there. Suddenly Bhargavi has the urge to leave this world, but all she can do is leave the hospital. She has left with no energy to face anybody so she just heads towards the door. Michael catches up with her in the parking lot,

Michael : where are you going?

Bhargavi : I need some fresh air.

Michael : do you want to go home bubbles??

She nods,

Michael drives her the long way home,

Michael : I'm really sorry Bhargavi, none of us meant it, we were just worried about Akash.

pulling back tears, all she can do is nod. When they reach home, she makes it a point to not look at anything. He walks her inside and grabs some water while she makes an attempt to get locked in her room. Michael stops her and pulls her in a hug, he has always been the protective friend. He leaves after making sure she is well. When Meera comes home, she comes straight to her room, peeking through the door she asks,

Meera : are you alright?

Bhargavi : I'm okay.

Meera : Akash is alright Bhargavi, he will be out of the hospital tomorrow morning. You wanna have dinner with him??

Nodding she quickly gets up and grabs her jacket. They grab food on their way to the hospital. Harry is still sitting on the same seat he was when she left. He gets up after seeing her, they share a stare until Meera asks Bhargavi to help her with the food. Akash is well and awake in his bed, actually he is playing XBOX with Michael. She is stunned looking at him 'I was crying for him?' she thinks. Michael smirks looking at her, and turns the TV off. Akash realizes there are two whole new people in the room. He looks at Bhargavi with a grin but she isn't smiling anymore.

Bhargavi : 'trying to get on the roof dummy' are you for real??

Akash : Did you look at the size of the tv?

Harry : I can't believe we were crying for this man.

Michael and Meera start giggling,
