I Love My Best Friend

Chapter 37

I woke up, slowly opening my eyes. Everything was a blur, until I come to my sense. My head started aching really badly and my hands felt as if paralysed. I tried to move my hand, the pain stung me hard and I groaned. "Wha is thi." I blabbered.

I tried to remember what happened last night but then the pain and the ache was too much. I struggled to remember and then it hit me, like a thunderstorm. Maggie? What happened to Maggie?

I could feel the blood draining out of my body. So fast. I felt like I was numb, my hand started shaking and I could sense that I had turned pale. Was Maggie alright? Was she dead? What if she was..

I couldn't feel happy anymore. The throbbing pain rushed to my wrists and ankles, my head was already pounding like anything and I could tell I was feeling nauseous. Regaining my composure I remembered something.

Grace.. She told me that she set Adam and she nearly got me raped. I mean who does that? A shameless creature like her would do that because that's what she can afford to do. Her class is so down market that she can't think of any other plan then stealing boyfriends and getting you raped.

I was only grateful that I wasn't.

Memories of my last encounter with Grace flooded back inside my mind. The only thing I could think about was how did it happen all of a sudden that Maggie's mom called me and said..

She-she crashed I mean her airplane crashed. I felt numb all of a sudden. Frozen in my position, my eyes went cold and my hands became clammy. My breath hitched and I started choking on my own breath. This couldn't be possible.  Maggie!  She can't fucking leave us! She can't she just can't.

And that's when I started weeping and wailing. Tears rolled down my cheeks rapidly, my nose turned red and I was already weeping too much. All the memories of me and Maggie haunted me.

"I know I'm a mess Andrea," Maggie said incoherently.

"No you're not, nobody is perfect okay? Don't care about whatever that creep said to you. She doesn't love you, he is just stubborn to let you go." I said, rubbing her back comfortingly.

Her features soften, her nose turning beetroot red. I could sense that she was about to cry when I held her face in my hands.

"Maggie, no.. There are anyways many guys in this world! Andrew is there for you. Haven't you had a crush on him ever since eighth grade?" I asked her giggling and making the conversation light hearted so she didn't feel uncomfortable and tried to cry.

"Yeah, and you." She said laughing weakly.

"Of course, you've me Edward and Alex everyone!" I spoke hugging her tightly.

She hugged me back as I could tell she wasn't in the mood to get weepy and more over trying to get over the fact that her boyfriend just dumped her for some weird chick. I would smash his face any day if I had the chance to.

"Andrea, always be there for me." She whispered slowly.

I gave a curt nod to her as she flashed a small smile. I returned her the smile but a brighter one. "I would never ever leave you alone, even if death comes in the way."

The door suddenly opened which caught me a bit off guard. "Andrea?" I heard Alex, the anxiety in his voice was evident.

"A-Alex.." I trailed off, I wasn't completely fine and I had been weeping for the past God know how many minutes.

I burst into tears again as they brimmed down my cheeks like they needed to be. It was like a tank of water could have got filled with the amount of water, urine and salt I was wasting, even though it hurts me a lot to say that.
