"A-Are you serious, (y-y/n)? B-But we'll miss a few days of school! And do I have to put money into this? Well I wouldn't mind using my life savings for you..." He said all so quickly.

"Mhm, I'm serious. Just you and me, the trip's for work as well, but it'd be a vacation as well! And no, we don't need to use money," You reassured him, making him calm down.

"Your passport is still fresh, so why not?" Emma smiled at the idea.

"Well, when are we leaving?" He asked with his regular serious face.

"Tomorrow..." Your face flushed, looking down.

"Tomorrow?! Emma! Get my luggage! I need to pack my needs!" He panicked to Emma, "S-See you tomorrow, (y/n)! Take care!" He stuttered, running to the stairs while waving at you.

"Yes, sir!" Emma saluted, "Bye, (y/n)! I'll see you tomorrow when I drop him off at the airport!" And then she ran to god knows where.

You giggled quietly to yourself, and headed outside, seeing that the beautiful rain that once applauded finally stopped.

•Your POV•

I walk into the airport, terminal 3. I waited for Abel and soon a car stopped up in front of me.

Emma and Abel got out of the car, Abel getting his huge luggage out of the trunk like it was no biggie at all. Meanwhile, Emma was even tired out by carrying his sling bag.

"Hey, (y/n)," Abel walked up to me and waved.

"Sup," I replied with a smile.

"Ok you 2 take care now! But first, why don't you guys give me a hug!" She smiled with arms wide opened.

"Fine," I rolled my eyes playfully and hugged her together with Abel. They both smelled really good! And if I mean by really good, they both smell like tulips!

Me and Abel arrive at the waiting area on where it was located. We sat down together, waiting. I played with the hem of my jacket, fiddling with it thinking of a new conversation.

"So... Um, don't mind me asking but how did you start liking me-"

My question was interrupted by the boarding.

"The afternoon plane headed to New York is now boarding."

"Let's talk in the plane. How does that sound?" He smiled softly at me.

"U-Uh, yeah sure!" I smiled back.

We boarded, giving in our tickets. We went in the plane and sat in our respective seats. We placed our bags and buckled up, making sure everything was alright.

"So, what did you want to ask me again?" He started the conversation, just as he promised.

"Erm... When did you start liking me...?" I asked, looking down.

"In middle school, when Emma first introduced me to you," He said.

"Is that so?" Well I met Alfred by him falling down on me. How nice.

We talked about likes and dislikes. Before I didn't have time to do that with him, considering he was too shy to talk to me for the past few years.

As I started to learn more, he and Alfred didn't really have anything in common, though Abel is still an awesome human being in my book... Wait, he's not a human being... Oh well.

Gah! (Y/n)! Stop thinking about Jones!

"Hey, wanna watch a movie?" I asked, pointing to the mini TV placed on every seat right in front of us.

"Sure," He smiled.

We watched 2 horror movies, but in the end, he ended up watching a show about growing healthy tulips.

I felt my eyes turn droopy, in a few winks and thoughts, I fell deep asleep.

I drifted off to this new world, a beautiful rain day, a sun on the left and thunder and lighting on the right.

I walked around until a background of this world formed up. Stopping, I looked around and investigated my surroundings.

Was this...? No. Can't be.

Hamburger Street.

It's the park of the day I met Alfred. It's also at the same timeline when I met him.

I entered the stone designed gate and saw a friend from mine at school.

"H-Hey!" I lend out my hand to touch his shoulder but it just went through his body. I was basically invisible to everyone.

I turned around to walk out of the gate but it was another vision.

It was me and Abel together in a park, laughing together eating ice cream.

I guess that's the (y/n) of this world...

I looked back to the park and saw the hamburger booth I always loved.

I saw Alfred with his mouth watering, what a cutie.

Though, it wasn't me in front of him, it was another girl. And yet again, there were still children playing behind Alfred.

The scene reanimated as Alfred fell on that girl.

Which sadly wasn't me.

She then smiled, Alfred being the hero helped her, making the scene just like a memory.

This scene shifted as I looked to the right, it was me and Abel at school together performing a play. He was the prince while I was a peasant hero.

I then looked at the left side to see something I didn't wanted to see.

It was Alfred finding out that the girl he met cheated on her and that she was only a gold-digger.

Alfred ran and ran in the rain, as he did, the scenes explained that he was always a depressed person.

Ever since he was a kid, he never wanted to be born. He was sick of being a country.

Why didn't he tell me this?

The scene shifted again, as a dark aura came around me.

To the right was me getting proposed by Abel to marry him, which the me in this world gladly accepted.

But the left side...

Had Alfred ready to hang himself...

This is the world if I haven't met Alfred! No wonder he's so attached to me, his friends and the people he love are the ones who calm him down...

A few moments later... He came down from the stool.

If he's that depressed of a person, then how depressed could he be now?!

I need to save him..!
