Chapter 6
C’s vision turned blurry. The world was spinning.
“-She... she... Committed suicide?
-And who’s fault is it?
-Mine” exclaims B stepping next to C and taking C’s hand, his courage finally built up.
“- I am the one who cheated on her. I am the one who fell in love with C. I am the one who betrayed her. I am the one who told her on the phone.
-Don’t blame yourself! Can’t you see? You aren’t at fault! C is!
-What do you mean?
-You obviously didn’t choose this! C probably gave you drugs to force you!
-Is that true?” said B as he suspiciously turns to C. C was outraged.
“-How could you belive that! Of course I would never! He’s playing with your emotions!
-You’re... you’re... you’re right. You would never do this. D, you have gone crazy.”
With those words, B ran away, tears streaming down his cheeks.
“You will not get out of this easily C. I will have my revenge.”
D and A walked away in a determined way. C picked up his and B’s bag, and went to the bathroom. The stalls seemed empty but he could hear a faint weep. He knocked on the door that seemed to be the origin of it. “Can I come in?”. No answer. C walked in. B was sitting on the toilet, weeping. C closed the door behind him and sat down on the floor next to the toilet. “Do you want to talk about it?” B moved his head from side to side. “Do you want a hug?” B moved his head up and down. C wrapped his arms around B.
They sat there for a few minutes. Then B openned his mouth:
“-She died... It was my fault. I shouldn’t have had sex with you.
-She loved you and suffered from your change of heart, not you cheating on her. But you shouldn’t love people according to how others will react. Even then, you couldn’t have known how they would react. And even if they would surely have preferred it begin with them, I am sure they just wanted you happy. Nothing you do now will change what happened to E so chin up, smile, and move on. I am not telling you to forget about E; I am telling you too keep living with them in mind. When you are down, smile for them. When you are in love, live it fully in honor of them. When you are lost, ask yourself what they would want for you. I am here for you, even if they aren’t anymore.
-C?
-Yes B?
-I love you.
-Me too”
On a final tear, B leans down for a kiss that C delivers.
