Steven " here take it "

Cole " okay then first my name COLE , STEVEN , ELENA and then AVA . I wrote all the names now we just have to fold the list "

Steven " you fold the chits till then I will go and bring the bowl "

Now the chits were in the bowl and everyone was excited and nervous about this stupid game .

Cole " Steven you go first "

Steven " why the hell me , it's your birthda you shoulld go first "

Cole " it's my birthday that's why I am telling you to pick first "

Steven " okay what ever , I will go first "

Ava was full confident about their bond , deeply she knew the chit which Steven will pull will have her name on it .

Steven pulls out one chit .

Cole " open it fast fook whose name it is "

Steven flips the chit the name there was " ELENA "

Cole " Okay now according to the game you both will go inside that room and will stay there for at least ten minutes "

Steven and Elena got up from thier seats and came close and started moving towards the room .

Ava's heart was beating at it's full strength she was feeling very insecure about what will happen inside that room .

( Inside the room )

As Steven and Elena got indise the room Cole locked the room from outside .

They both entered the room and sat on the bed .

There was an awkward silence in the room , none of them knew what to say . Elena got up and stood leaning against the wall .

Steven also got up and came near Elena .

He grabbed her waist and pushed her against the wall . Her veins throbs and her heart exploded . He inclined his face toward her and laid his mouth close to

her's mouth . Her chest pressed against his and he rubbed his nose against her's . He whispered in my ears " I never believed in love at first sight but now I think I

will have to change my opinion . "

He moved his hands through Elena's body then he whispered again " I think I am falling in love with you " . She remained quiet she didn't knew what to say .

He bent down and kissed her softly at first , and then with more passion . He touched her lips gently with his lips , sending wild tremors along Elena's nerves .

Every inch of her body dissolved into his . His finger gripped her hairs and pulled her closer and closer . They both were holding each other ,

he came closer and whispered " I like you , Elena , you are the most beautiful girl that I have ever met ." , he then kissed her forehead and walked away and sat

on the bed .

Elena " What was that "

Steven " I am really sorry , but it was true . I LOVE YOU , ELENA "

Elena " you have a girl friend "

Steven " I told you I don't love her "

Elena " But still she loves you , she is mad for you . I can't do that to her "

Steven " I have decided , I will tell her all about the friendship and this forced relation ship "

( Cole opened the door )

Cole " times up "

Elena ( whispers in Steven's ear ) " I don't like you , this was a mistake "

Elena " bye Cole it was really fun but it's really late , I gotta go now "

( Steven got out )

Steven " I really wanted to tell you something from a long time "

Ava " tell me , what is it ? "

For a moment there was a brief silence between the two .

She tried to hold her hand but he intertwined the fingers of his hand . He acted like he was insecure about her touch .

It was strange because he never acted this way before . Ava was worried about the strange message behavior of Steven's ;

Ava tried to stay calm but the silence was killing her ;

" Why are you avoiding me ? It has been a while now . Have I done something ? Are you upset ? Talk to me . I know this , I know what you are trying to do .

Steven " I am sure that you know it . I mean that's why I am here trying to be clear I am a bit scared about you . It didn't meant anything or did it? "

Steven " the thing which is between us , is not a relationship . "

Ava " what are you talking about Stev "

Steven " We were best friends and all of the sudden you just proposed me and I didn't wanted to ruin our friendship so I excepted your proposal but seriously I

mean it that was a mistake , a big one "

Ava " so now you are trying to say you never loved me ?! "

Steven " no , I Love You so much but just as a friend and I fear I will mever be able to love you like that ."

Ava " wow , this girl Elena just came in your life and and I am your girlfriend from past f*****g 5 years "

Steven " it was just beacuse I didn't wanted to lose you , I wanted you in my life but not as my girl friend as my best friend "

Ava ( sobbing ) " Is this some sort of prank or what "

Steven " can we please just forget this relationship track and be best friends "

Ava " Forget ! How dare you ask me to forget . Do you think it's easy for me to forget .

I loved you ( She sobs , her voice breaks ) I loved you . . . . . . . And you cheated on me . How could you do this to me ? " She says harshly .

" Ava . . . . . " Steven whispers " You are right , I was mean to you . "

Steven was gazing at the grass as an effort to avoid eye contact . Ava noticed tears in his eyes .

Ava " Why do you have tears in your eyes ? "

He blinked his eyes and tears rolled down her cheek . For a moment their eyes met and they got lost in each .

Ava " I know we are going through a rough phase Stev . "

His words pierced her heart . She was devastated.

Steven " I totally understand it you don't want to see me again or if you hate me , but trust me this was best for you . For past five years you were

bound to a guy who didn't even love you . This can a fresh for you , you can find a guy who truely love you "

Ava didn't even said a word .

Steven " Ava please say something "

Ava " I .... I need to go home , I gotta get home . I am going "

Steven " please don't do anything stupid "

“ Some friends don't understand this . They don't understand how desperate I am to have someone say ,

I love you and I support you just the way you are because you're wonderful just the way you are .

They don't understand that I can't remember anyone ever saying that to me . I am so demanding and difficult for my

friends because I want to crumble and fall apart before them so that they will love me even though I am no fun ,

lying in bed , crying all the time , not moving . Depression is all about If you loved me you would . ”

Ava went walking all alone , every one she had was Steven " the erson who just broke up with her " and

Cole " who was her friend as he was Steven's friend and I was Steven's girl friend "

So now she was all alone Driving on this lonely street wondering what should she do now where should she go .

all of the sudden her car's tire busted and now she was all alone on this scary street .

Ava " where the f**k is my phone "

She found it on the back seat of the car .

Ava " ohh , great the battery in dead "

She parked her car by the side of the road , locked it and started walking towards her home .

Suddenly a car honked at from he back !!!

She turned back and saw it was Elena driving .

Elena got out of the car .

Elena " What are you doing here , in the middle of no where "

Ava " I can also ask you the same question "

Elena " why your car is standing back there and you are walking here in middle of a forest , it's past mid night . what happened ? I thought you are going

to stay at Cole's tonight "

Ava " Steven broke up with me , I didn't know what to do , where to go so I just started the engine and Started to go where the road takes me .

But then tier busted so I ended up here walking here alone on this dark creepy night . What about you ? "

Elena " You don't have anywhere to go and I also don't have anyone to hangout with , although I like me time more than gatherings but you do it . I will

take you to some place exciting "

Ava " ok , we have never got a chance to know each other . Let's spend some time together "

Elena " get in the car "

Elena took her to a beach .

They was there alone by themself , collected , tranquil , adoring , comparing the serenity of his heart with the serenity of the skies ,

moved in the darkness by the visible splendors of the constellations , and the invisible splendor of God ,

opening her soul to the thoughts which fall from the Unknown . In such moments ,

offering up his heart at the hour when the flowers of night inhale their perfume ,

lighted like a lamp in the center of the starry night, expanding his soul in ecstasy in the midst of the universal radiance of creation ,

he could not himself perhaps have told what was passing in his own mind ; he felt something depart from him ,

and something descend upon him , mysterious interchanges of the depths of the soul with the depths of the universe .”
