Weeks passed by, the holiday was soon ending and Elizabeth seemed so arid about it. 

She developed black eyes and got even more depressed. 

January arrived and she had developed a lot of diseases. 


--

School resumed and the rest of the group seemed bad about Elizabeth getting sick so during one the weekends, they ask for permission to visit her. 


"Elizabeth! What happened? Look at you! I hope you do get well quick." Ehi said commandingly. 

"I.. W-wish t-t-to." Elizabeth replied. 

"No worries, after your fully healed I'm taking you out to Seattle for a vacation!" Ehi said and smiled brightly. 


Elizabeth felt butterflies in her stomach but good butterflies. She missed Ehi, her favorite best friend. 

She was always lonely and her step mother, Ruth, made her feel so uncomfortable. 

Mostly she missed Gerald, her ex boyfriend. 

Here he was, leaning on the door frame looking out. It broke her heart.

She blushed over the thought of his newly developed body. It made her feel more protected. 


Ehi though knew exactly what she was thinking about but she didn't argue. She missed Link too so who was she to judge her.

Elizabeth and Ehi are finally alone in the kitchen cooking a meal when Elizabeth asked... 


"So... What has Gerald and also Herald been up to?" Elizabeth asked curiously. 


Ehi sighed and stopped what she was doing. 

"You know Stella? Stella Grey? The other nominated girl well he was trying to get to know and... " She tightened her fist. 


"His dating her." Ehi said and her throat ran dry. 

Elizabeth laughed but soon realized she was serious. 


She fainted. 


--


The next day, Elizabeth slowly woke up. Her hair turned completely black from the depression. 

As she open her eyes, she sees either her father or Ehi but strangely it was that of Herald.


"I was so scared! Don't do that okay?" Herald said and smiled weakly. 

"Is it true that Stella and... My Gerald? are dating?" Elizabeth asked. 

"Not mutually, just to figure it out, you know he loves you!" Herald said. 

"I don't feel like breathing anymore!" Elizabeth said and started crying. 

"Please don't cry Elizabeth, you're hurting everyone including your step mother." Herald pleaded.

'I'm dying Elizabeth' Melon said. 


"Me too, why can't we just die together?" Elizabeth said and burst into laughter. 


'THIS IS SERIOUS!' Melon yelled. 


"I know Melon, I'm weak and I don't know why, Why do I feel so weak over a boy!" Elizabeth cried out. 


'Elizabeth, I know you love him but you have to stay strong.' Melon encouraged. 


"I know!" Elizabeth cried out. 


--


While Elizabeth was communicating with Melon, Gerald walked in. 


"Talking about me?" Gerald asked.


"W-what? Why don't you go to your girlfriend Stella?" Elizabeth said jokingly. 


"You are my girlfriend! I love you and not her, why do you choose to hurt me?" Gerald asked. 


"But... I love you too, why end this perfect relationship?" Elizabeth asked. 


"I never ended it, it was... Please stop hurting me!" Gerald yelled. 


The dream ended. 

--


Elizabeth woke up in her father's arm. 

She smiled but frowned. 


"Where am I friends?" Elizabeth asked. 


"They left." Jason said. 


"Oh." Elizabeth said and smiled weakly. 

"Dad, I have to go." Elizabeth smiled and left out and into the free fields. 


"Let's get stronger." Elizabeth smiled.

'Maybe someday'

'But until now, I stand strong'
