                                                                   - +++ -    

           “What? What did you exactly- Your are telling your father that you failed your mission after a year of trying? Neptune, son. This is a test of your courage to be the next King of Neptune. Why is it so hard for you to learn how to love?!” Father exclaimed.

         And as a good son as I am, I just look down at my floor and rolled my eyes slightly. Wow, is he really that desperate to find what love is? Why don’t he fly all the way from our place and go here since it’s what he wants.

“Well, I’m sorry, my King if I failed! Who even said love is easy to find. And you expect me to find that in a year? Seriously, Father. This is my last month. And as you can see my progress isn’t going any good. So don’t torment me more! I am getting so much attached to Mandy and yet I can’t do anything about it. And who said I want to be the next King? Go on and give to brother I don’t need it anyway. At least ask me how I am right now!” I fired back and ended the convo, not before seeing the shock and sadness that took my father back.

   C’mon, I just saw that Justin kissed her. She doesn’t even like me that way for a reason I don’t know. Maybe its just I need to accept that she doesn’t like me THAT kind of way. But, I’m also confused cause, I can see she likes me. Why don’t she tell me anyways? She’s shy? Not new to me. She’s been like that since the first day of school. One of the reasons I like her. And like I said, the remaining one month is enough for me to show her how much I love her. Make her see the world in a point of view that she never did before. Show her places she’s never been. Try all the possibilities sh never have. One month is enough for me. To show her that I am sincere. And at the last day of my stay here, I’ll tell her the whole story, answer all her questions. I hope I can leave and let her go. Damn, I know it’ll be hard. But I have no choice. Even if I want to, the contract is over. Due. And my feelings for her isn’t enough to let me stay.

Justin's P.O.V. 

                That kiss was the most wonderful experience I’ve ever had in my whole life. The feeling of her lips against mine. I’m so lucky to steal her first kiss. I’ve been waiting for that to happen for how many years. But because of my shyness, I can’t. And now I’ve had the needed courage, I did it. And she looks happy. She even blushed. I smiled at that thought.

       I promised to myself that by the time I got out of the hospital, I will spend more time and be back as the old me.

Of course not the good me. The teaser me.

    But just to see her pissed off. Not to make her cry. I’ve done so much to hurt my princess for how many times. I’m not gonna let that happen again. Now that her trust is coming back, I’m not gonna waste my chance to have her back also. Now that I’ve got a chance for her heart, I’m also ready to take it. That is if she wants me. If sh still wants Neptune, then I’ll be her ever-loyal best guy best friend. I kinda accept that. Sometimes, when I look at her I can see that Neptune is all she will ever want.

    And I think I could ever change that is she doesn’t want me to. Seeing that she’s okay everyday I’m okay with it. Seeing that she smiles, makes me feel that I’m complete. And I hope that no matte what happens sh will stay as Happy as she is right now.

Normal P.O.V. 

               Today, is the day that Justin will be out of the hospital. After two weeks of being confined at the hospital, I wish it’s enough for him to be okay. Though sometimes he is aching that his body is still aching from the sudden crash of th car against his body. At least I know that he will be okay after this. I could never afford to see him inside a hospital ward again. I frowned at that thought. Neptune took my hand and squeezed it hard enough for me to come back to reality and smile back to Neptune, but not reaching my ears.

     I can’t believe that this year would be that crazy. Crazier year than I ever thought. Oh! I almost forgot when I promised Beth that me , Neptune and Justin would go and pick her up to Matthew’s place. That girl. I took my phone inside my pocket and dialed her phone number. It took me three rings before she picked up. I heard her fast intake of breathe. Whaaaa-

“What...is...it, Mandy. I don’t think now...is a good time.” She finished, the sound almost not coming out from her mouth. That slutty bear of mine. I grinned and giggled.

“Oh, because you’re having THAT with Matthew right now? Oh I could understand.” I laughed lowly. But I feel Justin’s guffaws and Neptune’s chuckles beside me.

“Now shut that mouth of yours, woman....ohhhh, M-matthew I really...gotta...take this call.” She moaned against the phone.

“I remembered calling for Bethany not for a girl who’s having the best night of her life with her boyfriend.” I joked with her. I could almost see her rolling her eyes on me over the next line

“Oh...you’re gonna be sorry about...ohhhh...your ass tomorrow at...school, Mandy.” She fired back, I just laughed it off.

“Okay. Now now, enjoy your night with your own Prince Charming. Have FUN!” I smiled and laughed before hanging up. The three of us laughed like nothing else matters for the rest of the days. Until a car parked beside us with men looking like goons from those movies.

Oh crap. Now what.
