Book 2 Maybe This Time (C O M P L E T E D ❤️)

12. What Do You Want?

"I knew it." S mutters when she walks in their condo unit, "I could smell bullshit from a mile away." she adds as she glares at Edward who is currently sitting on the chair in their kitchen while he watches Maymay cooks.

"S!" Maymay glares at her.

"What?" she asks innocently.

"Behave." she requests.

"I am your best friend Maymay, and you know as well as I do that I always act according to the situation." she answers determinedly.

Maymay sighs, "I know S. And that is why I love you." she smiles. "But hey, you two haven't seen each other in so long. Why not play catch up while I cook us dinner?" she suggests.

"I think I know enough." S answers as she begins to walk to her bedroom.

Maymay shots Edward a glance, "Please" she whispers.

Edward lets out a sigh, "Fine." he responds before hopping off the stool. "Sammie! Wait up. Don't you want to yell at me?" he asks.

S turns around and glares at him as she taps her foot on the floor. "Balcony. Now." she commands.

Edward follows her.

"Good luck Edward."Maymay yells before he reaches the balcony.

Edward sees Sammie leaning on the balcony railing, glaring at him. It is as if she wants to push him down, and dangle him off the building. "Long time, no see S. How are things?" he asks.

"What are you doing here Edward?" she asks.

Edward clears his throat, "I'm here to have the woman I love back." he answers seriously.

"Maymay's good heart is truly her weakness." she states. "Edward, you broke her." she adds.

"I know. She told me about cutting, depression, and.. and I saw the nightmares. I witness her having nightmares--"

"And there you were, that one time, being the hero. Yippee, Edward saves the day." she says sarcastically.

"Look S, I know what I did was really bad--"

"BAD?" she yells. "You destroyed her Edward. After you left, she wasn't the same anymore. Her smile didn't look the same, her laugh didn't sound the same. You took a part of her Edward, and left all of us a mess. You left me Maymay, but she wasn't Maymay anymore . She was this broken glass that I had to handle with care all the time." she states, her voice shaky as she recalls the past.

"S! Sammie! Oh My God! S!" Maymay called.

"Why? What happened here?" S exclaimed when she saw towels on the floor that are red--bloodstained.

"I don't know S! I don't know. Help!" she cried.

"Okay! Okay! Let me call the ambulance." S stated while looking at her friend who is crying and confused.

"Sammie?" Edward calls, breaking Sammie's trance.

"Yes?" she responds.

"I'm sorry, I really am." he says sincerely.

"You don't have to apologise to me, you have to apologise to Maymay. All she did was love you Edward, even when you left, she loved you. Even when she was broken, she fucking love you. She was your best friend, right?" S asks.

Edward nods.

"How would you feel if every time you come home, you see her drunk on the couch, in her bed, by the fridge?" S asks.
