     It was December 25 th. We were walking in the hallway. I caught the sight of snow flakes falling. I was astonished, but Bella kept looking at her wrist watch. It bothered me. So I grabbed her by the hand and ran outside to the top. As I stopped I started laughing while panting. But Bella wasn't . She started to cough. She panted. The only thing I know is that, the cough and the panting, wasn't normal.

I patted her back.

   "Bella?! Are you okay?! I'm really sorry for dragging you here. I'm sorry. Bella can you hear me?!"

   "Eva... it's okay. I'm totally fine. You didn't have to freak out. Its normal. You know, I'm not active..."

   I was about to cry. I helped her back to straighten. I gave her an 'are you okay?' look and she nodded. I was holding her by shoulders, lightly. I felt something cold in my hands, I looked up. It was ... snowing!!!

   I looked at Bella. She was so happy. She stretched out her arms, to let snowflakes land on her palms.

   Suddenly she caught my hand, I entangled my fingers with her, she grabbed my hand lightly.

   Spending minutes standing, we sat, leaning our backs at each other, facing opposite directions.

   "Do you have a best friend Eva?"
She asked me, faced me.

   I look at her. I was getting confused with things happening with her. Mentally I was choking. What is she trying to point out. I shakes my head disagreeing. She continued and we were again facing opposite directions.

    "Thats weird. You are an awesome and kind girl to be with. Eva can I ask you a question?"

    It was the first time I witnessed Bella talking much and asking questions. While confused I said yes.

    Her question made me lost in my words. Bella kept looking at my eyes directly. I was lost in thoughts. It was the first time ever someone asked me that one specific question. At the same time I felt something was wrong. I knew Bella for months and now I feel Bella is hiding something from me. From everyone else. I couldn't believe it took months for me too notice it.

    "Eva... can you be my best friend."

    "Now I understand. When I look at her eyes and her pure smile, it feels like she is in pain. Hurting inside.
