Chapter 52: Our Relationship
...
"Not even by accident?"
He shook his head. "I really don't." Of all the good things that he showed Alice, it's too hard to believe that he doesn't like her.
"So, all you did for her was just out of pity? You pity her," I said.
"I don't pity her. I wanted her to feel that she deserves to be loved and-"
"It's better to tell the truth than give her a reason to be happy by lying," I said, not letting him finish what he's saying because I already expected that it was his very reason why he did that to Alice. "You made her hopes high even you know the fact that you don't feel anything towards her."
"I know, I made a mistake. And I'm not going to escape from it. Alice is the sweetest person I've ever known and I'll do everything for her to forgive me," he answered.
"Forgive you?" I let out a sarcastic chuckle. "You didn't even bother to visit her."
His eyes suddenly looked so sad. "Trust me, Liv. I've been visiting her for the past three days. Every morning and every night. But she won't show herself to me. She's not replying to my messages. I don't know what to do anymore."
...
My work is done and Mr. Parker drove me home. We've already talk about us and I also said that I'm sorry for how I've been acting these past few days. I'm just worried about Alice's situation and he actually understands it which makes me grateful. I thought he'll be mad at me but he didn't. He said he doesn't have a reason to and whenever I need him, he's always right there, ready to help.
I was cooking for my dinner when I decided to go try to knock on Alice's door again. Summer will be sleeping at Polly's tonight so I'm alone here in our apartment. I put the pasta that I cooked in a bowl before going out to reach Alice.
I knocked three times but she didn't come out. "Alice," I called her. "I brought some dinner. You know it's quite weird not eating meals with you for three days. It feels like I'm not used to it. Can we have dinner together tonight?" I asked nicely.
I've been waiting for five minutes in front of her door but she didn't come out. When I already lose my hope that she'll show herself, I decided to walk back towards my apartment. I put the bowl on the table before getting a glass and pouring some juice in it. I was about to drink it when I heard someone knock.
I walked towards the door and opened it. "Alice!" My eyes widened a little because her visit was unexpected. I thought she'll never let anyone see her again for a long time.
"Sure, let's have dinner together." She forced a smile but I do think that it's still genuine. I hugged her immediately and seconds passed when she hugged me back.
"Alice, are you okay?" I asked when I pulled away from the hug. "I mean, how are you?"
"I'm fine, Liv." She tapped my hand that was on her shoulder.
"Come in. I made some pasta," I said. I closed the door as soon as she got inside. We walked together towards the dining area and we sat there. "I was so worried about you. I thought you'll never show up."
"I'm sorry if I made you worried. I just wanted some time to be alone," she said, looking down.
"Alice, you don't have to be sorry, okay? But as your friend, I should help you go through all of these. So, please, tell me if I can help." She knows that I worry so much on things. Especially, when it's a personal matter. As long as I know that I can help, I will.
"You don't have to do anything. Your presence is enough to make me feel that I still have a reason to be happy, Alice said and smiled.
...
The next day, we had a lot of paper works at the hotel. The day went so fast and now, Mr. Parker is driving me home.
"Are you excited?" I asked while looking at him.
"Of what?" he asked back while his eyes are still on the road.
"The new building," I simply answered.
"Yeah, I guess I am." It has been two weeks and he's still acting weird. He's quiet and very dull to talk to.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked out of nowhere. I'm dying to know what's the problem because I'm not used to it. I'm not used to him being minimal with his words.
"What do you mean?" he asked, still not looking at me.
We're already in front of the apartment. He went out and got the door for me. As soon as we're already facing each other, I asked him again.
"Why? I'm still hoping we could talk about it," I said, looking up a little because he's tall.
He then looked away, not knowing if should he answer my question or not. "I'm sorry if that bothers you."
"I don't need an apology. I wanna know if you're okay. If there's something I've said that you didn't like–"
"No, Liv. You didn't do anything wrong. I'm just... I just want us to have a normal relationship like others. I'm preventing myself on being possessive because it's a selfish thing to do," he explained.
"You're not selfish, okay? What is this all about?" I walked closer to him.
"I get jealous easily, Liv. Whenever I think that you're friends with Sean, I can't help it. And I know it's selfish to get jealous when you're not doing anything wrong with him." I knew it. His reason is me being friends with Sean. I know and I can feel that he's the type of man who gets jealous in that way. But I'm too numb to make him feel that.
"I'm sorry if you feel that," I said, giving him an apologetic look. "But don't ever think that I'll level up the friendship that I have with him. And please, don't change the way you treat him. He's still your cousin and your friend. We both know he's also a big part of your life."
"I know. And I'm trying to pull myself together for you," he said and carresed the right side of my face. "I'll go ahead. Take a rest. Goodnight."
...
I was doing my skin care routine when I heard something. I immediately opened the door and I saw Summer standing. She dropped the first aid kit and the things were scattered on the floor.
"Summer, are you okay?" I worriedly asked while she was picking it all up.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Liv," she answered.
"Let me help you," I said before kneeling. While I was putting the bandages inside the kit, I saw a bruise on her left arm. "What happened?"
"I accidentally dropped it–"
"No. What happened to your arm?" I asked which made her cover it with her hand.
"It's nothing. It's just a scratch." I can see it in her eyes that she's lying. What's happening to her? She's not like this. Summer doesn't lie on anything.
"Tell me the truth. Did someone hurt you?" I asked again using a serious tone to make her say what really happened.
"I... got into a fight at school. I was trying to pull myself from fighting with her but she called me a slut," she said.
I sighed before gathering everything and closing the first aid kit. I asked her to come to her room and I'll disinfect her wound. It's not that big but it can be infected because it's an open wound.
"If a person is badmouthing you, it's not so hard to just walk away, Summer. Violence is not an answer to make things right," I explained while putting some oitment on her arm.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do this," she answered quietly.
"Where else does it hurt?" I asked.
"Nothing. I just hit my head a little on my locker but it's nothing. But, I remembered something that I didn't expect I will."
"What is it?"
"I remembered something from the past," she said.

"Ever since that night we talked on the phone, you've been acting differently. Why?" I was almost whispering but I made sure that he heard it.We're already in front of the apartment. He went out and got the door for me. As soon as we're already facing each other, I asked him again.
