Harris's PoV

"Hey bro, what are you doing there? Sitting, and in deep thought?" My friend, Aries sat down beside me, waiting for my answer.

"It's nothing Aries, just girl problems."

"I see, you're still into her, aren't you? You know man, there are billions of women out there, but I'm just really curious about one thing. Why until now, it's still here?"

"I don't know, but even if I date someone I just can't get her out of my head. I'm always thinking of her, and I miss her."

"Bro, you got it very good. Man, I wish I also knew that feeling but sadly I don't have one."

"You'll get yours someday." I just pat his shoulder and walk away but what he said made me stop.

"You know, Harris, Love is Love. Miss is Miss. There 2 different things and what you are telling me right now is like you are just missing her and not loving her for who she is, that's why I advise you to take it slow and figure things out for yourself. Harris, Mystic isn't like a gem nor a diamond that you can just sell when you feel like to. Because she's more than that, she's special and she's worth it of being loved for real. It's great being in love, but take it slow. It's a choice to fall in love with poor people, people will judge, they will stare and they will continue to look at you like you aren't part of them. Remember the time why you left? Mystic was very broken and sad at that time, she even almost took her life. You didn't know, didn't you? It's the truth Harris believe it or not she had already adjusted to your world, she did everything just to have you back. Your tandem and hers is a Rich-Girl and Poor-Boy Tandem, that's cringe but I know that your tandem is real and true. You left but Mystic's heart still belongs to you, so I hope you take good care of it this time, I let her go because I saw that she's still in love with you bro. Take good care of her, she's a keeper."

Flashback

It was night and we were both standing in the rain.

"Sorry. But I don't know if I have what it takes to be part of your world."

"W-wait, Harris, w-why? I thought we're okay like this?"

"That's what I thought too, but I was wrong. Let's stop this already Mystic, we won't work, we tried but in this world, you and I are living are 2 different things." She holds my hands and looks at me with her teary eyes.

"Then I'll change for the better good! Just to be with you, I'll change-" I pulled my hands back.

"So you'll give up on your dreams just because of me? You'll change because of me? Why? Can you live without money? Because I can live without money, how about you? You don't know life and how to live in our world."

"Harris, Money is Money and Love is Love. There 2 different things!"

"Yes, they are both different. But I know that you need the money more than love. Is your driver already close?"

"Yes."

"Okay, take care of yourself, bye." I walked away with a broken heart, I didn't look back for I knew that if I look back I'll run into her arms.

"Why are you so down Lil bro?" I saw my older brother leaning on his motorcycle

"It's nothing bro."

"Liar, that's a girl problem, you know when I was at your age I didn't know what love was but a special girl came. And I can see that the special girl also met you so don't let her go, fight for her."

End

"You're right Aries, she's a keeper that's why I'll fight for her. Thanks for letting her go, you'll meet someone who really for you." I heard him laugh as I walk away, I went to Mystic's house and knock on their door.
