We sit on the swings in the garden of Maya's building, Sarah, Jash, Liam and I. I don't know why but Sarah hasn't been acting her self today, the vibe is just different today. I have my flight in 7 hours and so I want to spend my last hours with them, properly.

"What's wrong Sarah?", I ask.

"Nothing, just not feeling well"

"I know it's not nothing. Tell me, this is the time we need to be for each other."

"You want to know what's wrong?"

"Yes"

"So here we go", she takes a deep breath before continuing ,"You are here for your best friend's funeral and still there you were out there going for a fucking city tour. Did you have the night of your life?", she bursts.

I am left speechless. I have no words and did not expect her to say this.

"What?", is the only thing that comes out of my mouth.

"You heard me. Jash and I were out here fucking being there for each other, crying, discussing out memories and you were out there having fun"

"I know you are right but Liam right here has travelled across the world with me and I thought he deserved to at least roam the city. I wanted to give him some time and I actually wanted him to have some fun. I am sorry if you felt that I didn't care or if I didn't want to discuss our memories with Maya."

"We are grateful that Liam is here to support you but even we needed you here Nyra. You are here only for 2/3 days and we expected you to be here, for us to support each other. I am sure Liam wouldn't have minded that.", Jash says looking at Liam.

Liam looks uncomfortable under everybody's lazer like gazes.

"I wouldn't have minded. Your friends need you more.", Liam says after a long pregnant pause.

I sigh, not knowing how else to response. I know they are right, I should have been there with them instead of going for a tour.

"I am sorry. It's just that I needed a little break.", I say.

I know that Sarah isn't the one who'll forget easily, she might never even let this thing go.
She says nothing. None of them do.

"I know what I did was wrong and I am accepting it. You'll can at least try forgiving me.", I yell.
None of them reply. Liam gets off from his swing and comes from behind and starts comforting me.

"Fuck it! I know you Sarah, you will not let this go. You are angry because I chose Liam over you. Yes I did it because I like him. And if you want to hold this against me forever please do so!", I say all this shit before I can stop my mouth.

Everyone looks at me as if I have grown 2 horns. I jump off from the swing and walk away from them towards the exit of the building. I can hear Liam's footsteps behind me but I don't want to stop.

I stop a rickshaw and get in to go back to the hotel. This is not how I wanted my trip to end. I lost all 3 of my best friends like a 1+2 offer. Liam doesn't say anything and just let's the traffic make the noise.

"You like me?", he eventually asks when we are in the lobby of the hotel. I knew he would bring it up. My mum comes out of the lift with the suitcases before I get to answer and Liam rushes over to help her.

"Did something happen?", is the first thing my mom asks me.

"No, why?"

"Just like that", I know she knows something is up but I don't wanna tell her and ruin everyone's mood.

The cab ride is very quiet and I can feel the air if full of tension.

"I wanna call up Aryan and apologize to him", I say quietly to Liam when we finish immigration.

"What? Why?", he asks confused.

"Well I had a lot of time to think over my actions of the past 2 days and I feel I shouldn't have said that to him. God knows what he'll do if he feels too guilty. He might himself commit suicide.", Liam thinks over what I said and hugs me, whispering how I am the best person he has met.

When we sit down waiting for our boarding to start, I call Aryan up.

"What now?", he asks rudely as usual.

"I am sorry for what I said yesterday. I don't want you taking any harsh step for what I said. But what you did was still wrong."

No reply.

"Do I get a reassurance that you are not going to go into depression or something. You know I am not good with such talks so please cut it out and forgive me and assure me."

"An interesting apology. But yes I assure you I will not take any harsh step or go into depression or something", he says mocking me. Thats why I hate him.

The boarding begins and I know that Liam and my talk is delayed further. But we can't ignore it and we will have to talk about it sooner or later. I know it is on his mind as well. Those blue eyes show the chaos in his mind.

I don't know if Jash and Sarah will forgive me or not. I hope they do at least.

This trip did teach me two things: 1) Best friends do fall apart at some point or another, no matter how close they are.
2) You can break your promises, I had promised myself I would not fall for a guy again anytime soon and yet here I am.
