Don't give up on me

Chapter 9

*A/N pov*

Amreen was crying keeping her head on her hands supported by knees. Tae came in the room and sat beside her. He wanted to make her feel safe but didn't know what he should do.

" I think you should talk with jimin to clear things out, after you calm down. He didn't intend to break promises he made to any of us and... You know what you mean to him. " Tae said after long silence.

" Then why did he do that? He isn't really bothered about his life that's gonna end soon. But he's bothered with the problems in his life. What can be worse than knowing you are living a limited life, you have to inhale borrowed air, you can't always do things you like? When we were child that was acceptable that our parents stopped us from doing what we like. But after we turn adults we can't decide so many things. What can be worse than this? Is it really worse that you don't want to see the person you love to get hurt and you try your best to make them leave and will to hurt yourself? " Amreen asked to herself.

" Is that why you told me to leave you? " Tae asked. Amreen nodded. A smile formed on Tae's face.

" Don't flatter yourself. It's not like I love you or something. From the day we met till now you have been a close friend of mine. I don't want to leave knowing there are so many people who's gonna cry for me. I want everyone to be happy. Including you. That's why I never wanted to make new friends. Before you everyone in my life were already there since my disorder. " Amreen said.

" Then why did you make me your friend? " Tae asked.

" I don't know. I felt good sharing some of my thoughts with you. I liked talking to you about my problems. I felt comfortable. " Amreen said.

" That's what friends are for. I'll never leave you alone." Tae said.

" You did leave me alone. "

" Because I didn't know why you're acting like that. Weirdo. You told me so I left you. "

" So if I tell you to leave me and you'll leave? " Amreen asked.

" No. Never. Not again." Tae replied. Amreen smiled.

" But I want you to leave. " Amreen said and Tae looked at her.

" Why are you doing this? You think if I leave you I'll be happy? No. I'll regret leaving you for the rest of my life. You said you know how it feels like not being able to do what you want to. Then why are you stopping me from doing what I want to? " Tae asked.

" Because... It's tough. Very tough. " Amreen said.

" What's tough? Tell me. "

" Maybe you don't know but I'll tell you this smile on your face can make someone's day. I'm sure girls drool seeing this smile. I don't want you lose that. " Amreen said.

" Do you drool too? " Tae asked teasingly.

" Well I never got time for fantasy. If I was normal then I'm sure I'd drool too. But I never experienced what it feels like when you see a handsome guy. This usually happens in teenage time. I was in the hospital that time. So maybe that's why I didn't react like normal healthy girls when I met you." Amreen said.

" You have a point. But I'd definitely not want you to like me because of my looks. " Tae said.

" I don't judge people by looks. I was saying about your smile basically. You are a very good person undoubtedly Tae. " Amreen commented.

" So you like me? " Tae asked curiously.

" I don't find a reason to dislike you. " Amreen said.
