Nightmares’ Fairytale

Fake Sickness

*Jhozy's POV

Dr. Minerva has stated that my ankle sprain is due to minimal stretching on the ligaments which would heal for about 1-3 weeks. I should be remorseful right now because I can't go to school, can't walk anywhere I want to go, and most importantly boredom would be my greatest enemy. However, I feel guilty for I am quite enjoying the consequences of my pain. For the entire week, it seems that Svan has made it a duty to guide me whenever I want to go and would keep me company. He became sweet and extra caring which brings butterflies in my stomach and makes my heart skips a beat.

"popcorn and strawberry shake?" As soon as my door opens, a wide smile abruptly form on my lips. There on my bedroom door stands a gorgeous man I like with popcorn and strawberry shake which he certainly know to be my favorite. Now, how can I not fall for him.

"I'll take note to bring you something strawberry whenever you are in foul mood. It always brightens you up and made you stare at me. Or is it just my gorgeousness?" He said mockingly right into my face. I have not noticed that he is already an inches apart from me and he have placed down the popcorn and strawberry shake at the bed table situated above my thighs. 

I composed myself and made a fake laugh as I scooted to my right side to provide a space for him before answering him with "You wish"

Somehow it became a hobby of his to come to my room after he came home from school to watch movies with me. A romantic-comedy movie right now is playing titled "50 first dates", it is actually one of my favorites which I beg Svan to watched.

At the middle of the movie, I noticed that he is not exactly paying attention to the movie, rather he is starring at nothingness. Thus, I snapped my fingers in front of him to have his attention before he blink multiple time and looked at the popcorn in front of us.

"Are you going to share some of that?" he asked but still a bit fazed.

I raised an eyebrow at him and gave him a sarcastic face before replying. "Seriously? it is there the whole time and I am even shaking you from time to time to give you some."

"care to share?" I asked when I realize that he is really not in the mood. The phrase "care to share?" became our friendship code, it means we can share what is on our minds if we want to but if the other person answered no, then we just let it go.

Svan grab my left hand and played with my fingers as he took a deep sigh. "Veronica and I just have a bit of misunderstanding and I don't know how to fix it. I mean for the past week she always finds unreasonable details to start a fight." Wake up Jhozy, what you both have is friendship and nothing more, you have no right to be jealous. Just act as his friend. I thought to myself and mask my face from any sign of pain.

"Is it because of me? because you spend too much time with me?" I ask sadly knowing that it is the real reason. I am about to wake up from this happiness...

"She is jealous." I stated turning my head down.

"No, yes... no.. I mean..." he stuttered while trying to make out a decent reply. He sigh before continuing "It is a total misunderstanding, you do not have to worry yourself about it Jhozy. Now let's go back to watching this movie." He grab my chin to make me look straight into his eye so he could say that while intently looking at me.

We watched the entire movie after that conversation, totally forgetting that topic.

I limp through my way to the kitchen as I am to grab a bottle of water. I sense that sooner or later, Svan would stop spending time with me seeing as Veronica is starting to get mad with that ideas. Thus, I decided to got to mall and buy a few stuffs to keep things off my mind.

"What are you doing?" I was startled by Svan's booming voice.

"Oh, just fetching some water before going out." I replied.

"Out? with that condition?" He overreact replied.

I laugh a bit before replying. "I feet is almost healed now, It aches a bit but more bearable than before. Stop worrying too much, I am just going to buy few things at the mall."

"Nonsense, wait for me, I would be accompanying you." He replied, ending the conversation because he instantly walked upstairs probably to change his clothes.

I sat down on the couch in the living room, when I saw him walking down with phone on his ears and a worried look on his face.

"Are you okay?, is there someone with you? I am coming there babe wait for me." He said to the person on the other end of the phone, who most likely to be Veronica.

I stand up and meet him at the middle of the living room.

"Veronica is sick, I need to go to her right now. Is it alright if I accompany you some other time?" He reluctantly asked me.

"Yeah sure, no problem." I answered. Without any hesitation he run to grab his car keys and out through the front door. 

As I heard the sound of his car engine, a tear of disappointment run through my cheeks from my eyes. I sadly sat back down to the couch and think of alternative activity I should do when a great idea suddenly pops into my mind.

I limply run upstairs into my room and grab my phone to dial someone I know who cannot resist me.

"Yes my dear princess, what do I owe for this lovely call of yours" I laughed at Donny's answer call and asked him if he could accompany me to the mall which he accepted with a blink of an eye.

As planned earlier we would go to the mall and buy books and crafting stuffs then preferably go to the arcade afterwards.

*Steeve's POV

The instant I rich Veronica's home, I immediately run towards their front door and rang the bell numerous time before their maid have the audacity to open it. Not minding their maids whom I know to recognize me, I just run to Veronica's room and entered through it without knocking. I know it is unrespectful but with my worry, I could not careless about it.

As I open her door, I saw her sitting on the end of her bed dressed in a sky blue crop top blouse partnered with a white high waist pants and heels. My worry was instantly shifted into confusion and then into annoyance as I realized that I was fooled by her call.

However, before I could even blow my anger into her. She swiftly stands up and engulfed me in a bone crashing hug with her pressed on my chest.

"I missed you! I can't believe that I need to lie for me to have some time with you. Don't you love me anymore?" I was pained by her statement. Did I neglected her that much? I am still fetching her from and after school. I was saddened when I realized that I have hurt her.

"I am sorry babe, It was not my intention. Jhozy was hurt and I feel obligated to help her." I replied to her while hugging her back and giving her a kiss on her head.

She turn her head up so she can see my face and bit her lip before replying to me. "I will only forgive you if you date me to the mall"

I laughed a bit with that because she obviously planned this out seeing as she is already dressed. I hate liars but I can't seems to be mad at her because she did at out of my mistakes.

I brought her to the mall and bought her a dress and a necklace which she seems to really love. I am really glad that I have a money to spoil her from her wants. I got home really tired from shopping and all but the instant I entered the house, I remember Jhozy and decided to come to her room and look how she is.

However, as I near her room I heard a laughter coming from there. I turned her doorknob slowly to prevent it from making a noise and slightly push her door enough to see whom she is with. There I saw Brandon and Jhozy on her bed laughing together at whatever it is.

For unknown reason madness rush through my veins and I slammed her door shut before going into mine and locking myself inside.
