Jessica's POV.

It was almost a week but still, we hadn't gotten any news about Ella. We weren't still given permission to visit her and now even I was starting to get tired of it. I never wanted to lose her but her parents nor she seemed to care and I guess I was a fool. I guess I shouldn't have cared.

"Ma'am! Please let us meet Ella Anderson." The same sentence was like a routine and I was sure like each day of the past week, she was gonna reply with I am sorry, no one is allowed but today the words she said made my doubt clear and proved to me that I was indeed a fool.

"Sorry, ma'am! She got discharged yesterday evening." She smiled at me as I let out a breath and my mind in confusion but I didn't utter a single word. I simply nodded and stepping back, I quietly moved out of the hospital.

She got discharged and here we weren't having a single idea of her condition. Her parents didn't care to tell us anything. Her dad saw me and Sara countless times but he never told us about anything. Whenever we would step forward to ask anything, we would get a dangerous glare from him. His stare as if accusing us of her condition. His stare was enough to make us feel that we were at fault. It made us feel that she was in that condition because of us but still we didn't leave her. We trusted in our friendship. We trusted our relationship because we weren't just friends but more like sisters.

Well, that was at least what we thought. I never thought Ella would do something like that to us. I never thought she would never ask about us. I thought her first question would be about us but I guess my parents were right.

They stopped me, they tried to show me the reality that there wasn't a single thing as care in this world. Every person is selfish and only thinks about his own self. They don't care about any relation. Whether it's love, friendship or anything. They don't care.

I should have listened to my parents. At least I won't have felt like shit right now. It felt like my belief was shattered to pieces and my inner self taunting me at our so-called friendship.

My phone rang bringing me out of my thoughts and picking it up, I answered it.

"Jess! Any news?" Sara had also this firm belief in our friendship and now it was going to be shattered like mine.

"She got discharged yesterday," I told her as the line went silent for a minute and then she cursed under her breath.

"Damn! She discharged?  What the heck! Were we even her friends? Who does that? We spent a week there in the hope that we'd be able to see her, we'd be able to be by her side. But they kept us blinded. They didn't even tell us whether she was alive or not. They didn't tell us about her condition or her well-being and here we were praying for her safety and life? How is this called friendship?" Sara paused and I knew she was going through the same feelings as me. A feeling of hurt, a feeling of betrayal, a feeling of pain.

"She played with us and we thought we were best friends."

I heaved a long sigh not knowing what to say in return. Whatever Sara said made sense and if I wanted to deny it, I couldn't. Ella did play with our feelings and I don't think I'd be able to forget it ever.

Well, At least now I know she was alive and doing well...

And that was enough...

Ella's POV.

I entered my bedroom and it felt like it had been ages since I came here but in truth, it had only been a week. It was great to be back as the sweet odour of my room engulfed me making me feel at home.

I was glad to be back but the only complaint I had was from my friends. According to my parents, none of them visited me once nor they cared for me. It did hurt to know but I couldn't say anything. I guess in this way I get to see their true nature.

I guess they were never my real friends...

"How are you feeling?" I came out of my daze by my mom's voice as I simply nodded.

"Great to be home."

"Good. Take some rest," Mum said as she helped me to stand up from the wheelchair and to sit on the bed. She placed the pillows behind my back and on my side to support me. My arm and my leg were fractured and they were banded with plasters as my mom carefully lifted my leg and placed a pillow below it.

"Better?" She asked as I simply nodded with a smile.

"I'll bring something for you to eat." With that, she headed out of my room.

Resting my head on the back head of my bed, I heaved a long sigh. My eyes staring at the ceiling as my mind playing on the incident before the accident.

My mind thinking about Xaiden and questioning me about him. I don't know what could have happened to him. I don't even know where was he now or whether he visited me or not, and there was no one to tell me. I don't know if my dad knew about him or not and this thought was killing me.

I was supposed to meet him after the class but never got the chance to. I remembered our last conversation and then that sweet last kiss.

My hands at once went to my mouth as my fingers gently touched my lips remembering him. His tender soft yet dry lips against my thin ones. His eyes holding that intense feeling for me as his tantalizing smile making my heart twist every single time.

I was missing him.

I miss him.

I felt a stray tear roll down my cheek on remembering him and then on the thought of never seeing him. I wondered would he search for me? Would he come back to me? Or would he forget me thinking about my existence as a mere dream?

My heart clenched on even thinking about not seeing him again. It hurts just assuming that I might not meet him. I knew now and was sure of it. I was deeply in love with him. I just wished now, at least give me a chance to confess to him.

I wanted to tell him that I love him like he loves me or even more than that. He made me feel cherished and those just a few months spent together, wasn't less than heaven. The time we shared, the memories we made, although they were just brief but were never-ending. Whenever I closed my eyes, his face would show up before them and he would give me the same sweetest smile, promising me that I'd never be lonely.

I just wished now that this dream of mine won't remain a mere dream but become my reality. I just wanted him to stay beside me and love me like he said and promised. I don't know whether he knew my secret or not. I don't know whether he knew my dark reality or not. But my only fear was now...

Will he accept me after knowing my secret?

*************************
I think so no.

Ella! You are so sweet. I hope your all hopes won't get shatter but you don't know the secret behind Xaiden.

*sighs *

And why do you think her parents lied to her about her friends?
