Was it just friendship?! #YourStoryIndia

Hi Guys I'm back with an update. Hope you will enjoy it. Happy Reading and have a nice day/night. :)

ANDREW's POV:
I could feel my whole world shattering. I did not want to believe the words that were right in front of my eyes. I couldn't wrap my head around it. Why would she do this? Everything was fine between us and she suddenly decides to do this. I hate how unfair it is that starting a friendship is a two way decision but ending it is almost always a one sided one. At least she could have given me one reason as to why she is doing this. I couldn't help but feel guilty. Maybe all of this is my fault. Heck! If she took such a drastic decision it has to be something serious. Now that i think about it, her behaviour is starting to make sense. Was she planning this all these days? Ughhh!

All my attempts in trying to contact her have gone in vain. On trying to call and message her i found out that she blocked my number. The only way I could get to talk to her was in school. After a long sleepless night, finally it was time to go to school. I got ready as fast as i could because Kia comes early to school and it would be the most appropriate time when i could talk to her. I didn't bother about my hunger and just skipped breakfast to leave. My mom had figured out that something was wrong when she saw me in the morning but she just gave me a kiss on my cheek and didn't ask me about it for which i was grateful to her.

When i reached school i searched everywhere possible but I couldn't find Kia. The anger was building inside of me. I knew I couldn't go long without letting it out. The one and only thing that could distract me was basketball. I went to the court to play a round. After about 20 minutes i was exhausted coz i had been applying more than needed force while playing. I sat down to rest and immediately memories of the day spent playing basketball with Kia flashed through my mind. A smile made its way to my face at the thought of the memory. Man i miss her a lot.

***

It's the end of the day and i still haven't spoken to Kia because you know what? She didn't come to school. You heard it right "Kia Collins" missed school. Well you all must know that she is the girl who literally hates missing school. One or two classes here and there is fine but missing a whole day is the last thing on her list. I was really surprised but then again her behaviour has been very surprising lately. I didn't want to come to school too but i came only to meet her and she herself isn't here, it just feels a waste of effort.

I was completely clueless as to what to do. Kia didn't want to talk to me and it hurt me a lot. I have to do something though, I can't  just sit back and see her leave me. I texted Susan asking her if we could meet because i wanted to talk about something "important to her". She told we can meet up after school. So here i am waiting in the parking lot near my car for Susan. After waiting for about 5 more minutes she finally comes out.

She walks upto my car giving me a small wave. "Hey Andrew" she greets me. "Hi Susan, thanks for agreeing to meet up." I reply trying to hide my sadness but failing terribly. "You don't have to say thank you Andrew. But anyway what did you want to talk about?" She asks curiously.

"Obviously about Kia, Susan!!" I reply. Her smile falls a little but she immediately covers it up before continuing "I wanted to talk to you about her too Andrew. She has been acting very weird lately. She has reduced talking to such an extent I can't believe it. The first time when you asked me about her, I just thought that maybe she is in a bad mood or something and she will be fine. But judging by the looks it doesn't look so simple. I'm really worried about her Andrew."

"Obviously it isn't as simple as it looks Susan. We both know something happened to her and she isn't telling us and I didn't want to force her until now, but her condition is becoming a great concern for me now. And that's not all, I have something to show you." I open my bag and remove that note that ended things between Kia and me (well somewhat like that) because i think Susan doesn't know about it.

"What's this?" Susan asks me completely confused. "Go ahead and just read it." I sigh. She immediately opens it and starts reading. By the time she is done her eyes gave become the size of tennis balls. She looks completely and utterly shocked. I can't blame her though seeing how my reaction was when i read it for the first time. "Did she herself give this to you?" She asks still trying to make sense of the situation.

"Well no, i found it in my locker yesterday." I reply the memories flashing in my mind again. After a few seconds of silence she replies "Maybe this is some sort of a prank!" I sigh again "I really wish it was, but no it isn't." "But how can you be so sure?" God! This girl never gives up. "Because Susan I have tried every possible way to contact Kia but no use and she has blocked my number too!" I reply as calmly as possible.

"I'm sorry Andrew, i know I'm acting immature. Just that it's really hard for me to believe it you know because she is so much more close to you than to me." I immediately feel bad for her. "It's completely okay Susan, you don't have to apologise. I know this is shocking for you too. I need your help Susan." I ask her coming to the point of the entire conversation. "Sure Andrew, in what way can i help you?" She replies.

" Susan, I don't know why she is distancing herself from me but i will find out soon. Till then can you promise me to take care of her and give me updates about her condition. It will be a big favour Susan." I tell her to which she immediately replies "Obviously Andrew I promise to take care of her and keep you updated. I will also try if i can find out the reason why she is doing this." "Thank you so much Susan."

With that we say goodbye to each other and part ways. I drive back home with thoughts on how to get back Kia.

Hello everyone. I know I'm super late with this update and I have two reasons for it:
1. A lot is going on with me so taking out time was getting difficult.
2. And second, writing this chapter from Andrew's POV was a little difficult.

Anyways, i hope you all liked the chapter. If you all did then please go ahead and vote and comment also maybe. Thoughts on the chapter? Well initially there was going to be Kia's POV too at the end of the chapter but now it will be in the next chapter.

That's all i have got for now. Meet you all in a few days with the next update. Keep supporting me and my book please. Love you all <3
