I accompanied Stephanie to the door. Then I locked it to make sure no one could enter easily in case they wanted to harm us. I went back to Arzhel. I saw him smiling. I was wondering what he was smiling about. “Why did you lock it?” he asked, his voice was soft, but there was a hint of teasing in
I opened the door. The doctor and nurse were still beside Arzhel. I heard the doctor asking questions to Arzhel, then the doctor faced the nurse beside him and said some medical terms I didn’t understand. I looked at the woman beside me, she still looked worried. She looked only a little bit scare
“I just found out that he did this to Arzhel!” Veronica said. “B-but how?” I asked, confused. I checked my phone that was in my pocket. “I didn’t receive any calls from the police about him,” I said. But as soon as I said that, my phone rang. It was the New York police. Veronica and I looked

I nodded. Then he bid his goodbye. Arzhel wore his sunglasses and stood up. “Wanna tour around?” he asked. I was about to roll my eyes at him, but he spoke again. “Let’s not argue during our entire stay here,” he said and put his hands in his pockets. “When was the last time you had a vacation?”
“I should have let myself cry and yearn more before, instead of distracting myself,” I whispered and sighed. If I did that, maybe my heart would automatically get tired and give up loving him. I stood up and went to Arriana’s room. I saw her still sleeping peacefully. It was Sunday so she didn’t h
I couldn’t think of any reason. I was not yet allowed to tell him the truth. I needed to give him the same reason I told him before. “He is my friend,” I said. Arzhel pressed his lips, then released a deep breath. He looked at me. His eyes were full of warning. “I will give you one last chance,
