Thomas' pov

Here I am, broken. Sitting on the edge of my bed thinking of what was happening.

"Maybe I should apologize to her...What if she doesn't know how I feel? Maybe I should give her a few time, Maybe she'll understand. But if she doesn't feel the same way"...

"I guess we'll just stay as friends..." I sighed quietly and fell my back on to the bed.

5 days later

It had been five days after the prom and I still couldn't find Christine. She isn't always absent.

And I had been having these weird nightmares. It has a woman, an age of a mother. She has brown hair and she was very pale. She looks like someone from a story.

Is she Katie's Mother?

If she is, why is she haunting my dreams? I even hear sounds in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, attic, basement, and living room. I think I might be involved now.

What happened to Christine? She hasn't come to school what happened to her? I'll check on her after school.

After school was over. I arrived quickly to Christine's house. It was quiet.

I walk towards the door and knocked. No answer. I knocked again. No answer. I'll say sorry to Christine for entering without permission later.

I opened the door and walked inside. The house was a mess! The pictures were on the ground broken, The plant's pots are shattered, and dirts were everywhere. It was like a cyclone just walked in here.

I pass a few room, and I didn't saw Christine on one of the rooms.

I went to a dark corridor and I saw a small red light, beeping. I came closer to it and saw it was a telephone on the desk. I press and button and it started to talk, it was a recorded message.

"Hello? Hello? uhh Miss Parker, it's me. The dr. Maliff. I am so sorry. I knew you'll be sad but...your Mother didn't make it. We were so close on curing her but when I left her for awhile, her heartbeat was gone. She wasn't breathing. We didn't know what happened. But please remember Miss Parker. That your mother will always be right beside you, Goodbye"

Christine's Mom was ill? Why didn't she told me? Her mother was the only family she has and now...she's gone. So that's why she isn't going to school. Wait. What if Christine do something...Stupid? Oh no.

I run, looking for wherever the hell she was. I stop when I heard soft crying behind a door. It was like the girl was afraid, sad, and full of agony.

I opened the door to see Christine on the corner of the room, holding a blade and was about to slash her wrist.

"Christine!" I shouted.

She turned to me. I can tell she cried for so long. Her eyes were red and her face was messed up and hot tears were still pouring out of her eyes.

I walk slowly towards her and comforted her. She drop the blade on the ground and hug me as tears poured out into a waterfall.

I didn't care if my shirt get wet. All I cared about was her. She was scared, not because of the house. She was scared because she didn't know what to do being alone now.

Poor girl. She doesn't have a family anymore. But I will be here for her now. I'm her friend right?

Later...

Christine was at the living room, sitting on her couch with a blanket around her and paced the floor. She had been doing that when we came in her.

I was in another room, I picked up the phone to call the salesman.

"What?" I asked "What do you mean his dead?"

Dead? How did the salesman died?

"Do you know how he died?" I asked.

"Np, we just saw him in a room. His head was busted and his body was surrounded with a pig puddled blood" He explained.

The two of us chat for a while. And when we were done. I went back to the living room to see Christine still pacing the floor.

I sat next to her on the couch. There was an awkward silence and stopping this, I broke it.

"What were you thinking?" I asked her.

"What?" She asked still looking at the floor.

"I said, what were you thinking? Not showing up on school, messing up your house, and almost killing yourself? Did you became insane?" I asked her.

"Why are you calling me insane?" She asked looking at me "You just don't understand. I lost my grandparents, my dad and now my mom. I have no one to love, no one to care and no one by my side everyday" 

"I understand how life is. I had been there. Being separated to someone you love. But I fought it. They are still in your side. In your heart, you can't see them but you can feel they're with you" I said, This is what I felt when Christine was leaving when we were kids.

"I don't like this kind of Christine, crying. Your not the Christine I know from the past" I said. Christine smiled and stared back at the floor again.

"You know you're always right beside me"she said "You always cared for me, protect me every time" she continued "I'm sorry for being a bad friend. I keep talking about the mysteries of the Swift family instead of" She looked at me "us"

I stared at her. Us? Does she feel the same way? She blushed lightly and turned her head away.

"I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable" she said.

"No" I said "I feel the same, i thought you wouldn't feel the same because i'm your friend. And I thought you might became awkward for having your friend into your boyfriend. You should probably need some time to think abo-" She cut me off.

"I don't need time" She said "I feel the same I thought the same thing too" she said.

No one's pov

The room was covered in a silence once again. The two of them stared at each other. She closed her eyes, he stared for five seconds and closed his eyes to and leaned forward slowly.

Until their lips met, the spark filled their hearts. This was a start of a new couple.

But Christine has a someone to love, to care, and beside her. What will happened next?
