Carefully I turned my gaze to Alice, I can see that she is mad. Of course, if I was her, I would feel betrayed.

"How can that be? she is the one who's helping me," she looked at me, demanding explanation.

Karry confusedly looks at me. It hurts.

"I-I'm.." I can't find the words to explain, I don't know what to say. 

I feel like I just want to disappear or running away from this troubled situation.

No.

You can't. 

You have to face it, May. 

You started all of this.

"I'm sorry, you both asked me to help, a-and I can't said no," I looked down, didn't have enough courage to look at them.  I can feel tears are forming, I stopped it before they could see. 

"Whoa, I can't believe you, May. I thought that you were really helping me, but it turns out that you lied to me this whole time!" anger can be seen on her eyes.

"I didn't lie, I just..."

"Then, what?"

I don't know what to say. I can't tell her about my stupid attempts to help both of them at the same time. That will sound ridiculous and maybe the situation can be worsen.

"You don't have to say anything," She took her bag and left us.

I looked up, I want to stop her, but I didn't stop her. 

I just can't.

"I will go talk to her," Roy said, then he went after Alice.

It's just me and Karry now. Neither of us spoken. We just sat there in silence.

"How silly of me for trusting you, May." he let out a bitter laugh.

My heart just broke to pieces hearing that.

"Kar-"

"No need to explain, I don't know if I can trust your words anymore." he coldly said. 

"Tha-"

"As I said, I don't want to hear nonsense from you again, May." he stands up.

"I thought we were friends," he said again before leaving me.

I just watch his back until his figure vanished from the corner of the living room. I knew that it's too late to call him.

What have I done?

I can't hold my tears anymore, I cried my heart out. I was disappointed in myself. I just broke our friendship that we treasure so much. losing friends was too much for me.

I let the tears streaming down my face, but I remember that Jackson can't see me like this. I don't want to make him worried. 

Hurriedly I wiped the tears and tried to control my breathing. I inhale a deep breath and hold it for a second, but as I exhale, I broke into tears again.

Frustratingly I wiped them again, but the more I try to stop it, the more it flows. 

Soon, I feel someone is sitting beside me. I looked up and saw Jackson, he looks worried. He sat next to me, but he didn't asked anything.

Without warning, I was pulled into a hug. The sudden warmness spreads through my body. Jackson strokes my hair softly and pats my back. I cried even more in his arms. 

He just stayed like that, comforting me, until I'm ready to tell everything to him.

I told him everything, and he sincerely listened , didn't interrupt my words a bit. He seems to understand what I said, even though I was telling him with inaudible voice. 

He said that I mustn't took all the burden alone. And he told me that  it's okay, because he wouldn't know what to do too if he was in my position. He can't really blame me he said. But, it was my fault too for thinking that I can help both of them at the same time.

After feeling better, I thanked Jackson, which is rare and awkward to say, but I said it anyway.

I took a refreshing shower. After gaining some courage, I texted Alice and Karry, I explain everything to them with a little bit hope that they will understand and texted me back.

But, it was useless. They just read all of my messages without replying.

At least, they had read it.

At least, I've tried.
