Edward and Maymay have been the best of friends since their teen years. They met in high school, and at that time, Maymay already had a tiny bit of admiration for Edward. She was the new kid in their school, and Edward has always been the popular one with the looks and brain. He was also very active in their school as he was involved in sports and other committees. In short, anyone could say that Edward is the whole package.
Edward had a girlfriend named Ven and she was the queen bee in their school. She had it all; she was smart, beautiful, and rich, but she lacked the charm and the heart. She was a brat who always got what she wanted. Ven hated Maymay ever since she came in the picture. She hated the fact that her boyfriend and Maymay became so close in an instant. At one point, the students even assumed that Maymay and Edward were the ones dating, and that Ven was already out of the picture. That infuriated Ven so much, so she ended up attacking Maymay.
Edward heard of the incident late due to soccer practice. He immediately went to Maymay after school to check on her and the sight of her brought so much pain in his heart. Maymay had a few scratches and a cut on her arm, and a bruise was clearly forming on her face as well. "Oh Maymay" Edward uttered as he caged her in his arms.
Maymay's eyes and nose were red since she had been crying since she got home. Edward caressed her back as he comforted her. "I'm sorry Maymay" he apologized.
"You didn't do anything Edward" she muttered in between her sobs.
"That's the problem twin, I didn't do anything. I heard the rumors going around the school too, and I didn't do anything. I'm really sorry" Edward hugged her tighter.
Maymay cried further in his arms, and he just let her. He believed that the only thing he can really offer her at that time was support, and letting her know that she was not alone. "Edward, why are you here?" she asked as she dries her tears from her face.
"Making sure you are okay silly" he smiled at her, as he lifts the bottom of his shirt and helped Maymay dry her tears and wipe her snot.
"Thank you" she smiled at him, "but how is your girlfriend?" she asked him.
Edward shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know." he said nonchalantly.
"Edward! What do you mean you don't know?" she asked him in disbelief.
"It simply means I came here first twin" he explained to her. "When I heard what happened, all I could think was how you were." he said as he grabbed her face and checked her scratches, "I can't believe she would do this." he caressed her face before kissing her forehead. "I'm really sorry twin. I'll make sure this won't happen again" he promised.
That same night, Edward went to Ven's house to clear the issue. He wanted to explain to her that Maymay is just his best friend and that she has nothing to worry about because he is loyal to her. However, everything changed when Ven asked him to do the impossible.
"EJ, I will ask you again, her or me?" she asked for the nth time.
"Why do I have to choose Ven?" he asked her back.
