Hey, Cupid (COMPLETED)

Chapter 8: Of Fortunes, Bands and Series of Confessions (Part 1)

Hey, Cupid:

Should you just accept one's love even if you cannot reciprocate it so that the other person would not be hurt or would that pain them even more, knowing that they never truly captured your heart in the first place?

Feb's POV

After doing my business inside the comfort room, I decided to head back to the meet-up place. However, a crying little girl caught my attention. I think she's around 7-8 years old. I approached her.

"Hello baby girl! I'm Ate Feb. Why are you crying? Are you lost?" I asked gently. She nodded her head. She's not crying loudly anymore but she's still sobbing.

"What's your name?" I patted her head as I try to console her.

"Psyche." She answered me, while she used her shirt's collar to wipe her tears.

"Okay baby Psyche, are you with your mother? You want to come with me para maihatid kita sa mga authority?"

She started crying loudly again. "I don't want to go to the police. They are scary."

"Then, is it fine if you'd go with me and we'll look for your mother together?"
The girl nodded her head quickly and continuously.

"Alright. Let's go to my friends. They could help us in finding your mama. Stop crying na, okay baby?" I told her and I held her hand.

Third Person's POV

"What are you doing here? Are you even invited? What the hell is Feb thinking inviting you here?" Vernon asked furiously.

"To answer your question, yes, Feb invited me. And you can't do anything about if I want to accept her invitation. You don't get to have a say on whom she wants to be friends with." Alchemy answered, wearing a smug look on his face.

"Friend my ass. I know it is not only friendship that you want from Feb. Maybe Feb would not know it because she's the densest human being here on Earth but I could see right through your motives, you dumbass. I have to protect my best friend to the likes of you."

"You said it yourself. You are just her best friend. Best friend. Who are you to decide who shall Feb associate herself with? For all I know, you also secretly love her and poor you, she doesn't love you the same way."

Vernon's last string of patience was now cut and he was about to punch Alchemy in the face when he felt arms holding him from behind.

"Stop it you too. Don't cause a scene here. Feb would not be happy if she saw you too fighting." Neville said as he tried to stop Vernon from punching Al.

"Who are you to know what would Feb felt? She had only gotten acquainted with you just recently. Don't act too high and mighty. You don't even know her that well so stop meddling with our fight. Feb should be aware of this guy's true intentions." Vernon pushed Neville to the side.

"I might have known her just recently but at least I'm neither taking advantage of my title as her friend to meddle with her decisions," Neville looked at Vernon. "nor provoke her best friend to start a fight with me" Neville now looked at Alchemy. "because I know that would make her sad."

But the two, still caught up in anger, did not listen and this time, the quiet Neville earlier had joined their fight because he felt like his relationship with Feb got invalidated by the two guys just because they have known the girl longer than him.

They were starting to create a fuss from people nearby at kapwa na naghahanda para makipag-pisikalan ng biglang dumating si Feb akay-akay ang batang babae.
