#2

Its been a day and John managed to lock himself inside his room, not bothering to even go to his university. Multiple calls and messages had kept his phone ringing but he chose to ignore it as he lay on his bed staring at the white ceiling above.

Steve had gone worried and decided to have his three friends over to console him and make him confess to them what happened. But sadly, Andrei couldn't come because of family matters and only Bien and Harold came over. But Andrei said to keep him on tabs on what happened last night when John ditched them, leaving them with no other choice but to clear up the preparations and just ate the cake and gave the flowers to a lady who caught Bien's eyes that night.

"Last night he came home with a solemn look and he was crying. I tried to talk to him but he just went up to his room and locked himself." Steve stated leaving the question he asked to John the other night regarding sex with Olivia.

"He even ditched us." Bien followed. Harold stood up from his seat and quickly marched upstairs to John's room.

"Hey brother Steve, can I knock his door down?" Asked Harold in a whisper. Steve shrugged and then wave his hands urging him to go on.

Harold, being a karate student when he was in high school, readied his stance and his body came knocking down the door but the occupant on the other side lay motionless on the bed, curled up in his thick blanket.

"Oi! get your ass out of the bed you piece of shit! You even ditched us and have us cleaned after your mess!" Harold roared and pulled John's thick blanket off of him.

When the blankets were off of him, everyone was shock. There, in the bed, John lie motionless and a couple of tablets with high dosages in his hand. He tried to commit suicide.

With that, Harold immediately pulled his friend's body from the bed and yell out to Steve to ready the car to take him to the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, Andrei arrived there also with another guy following after him. They hurriedly admitted their motionless friend inside the hospital and immedaiately, a couple of nurses and a doctor came to their aid.

"Doc, please save our friend." Stated Andrei with plead.

--

As everyone waited for the results outside the room, Andrei and the guy with him had a little conversation by the corner since he know nothing of what's going on. All he knows is that someone tried to commit suicide by taking too much pills.

Before Andrei recieved a call from Bien, him and his cousin Terrence who came from Australia were strolling around the mall while waiting for their other family members. They were supposed to meet with their family in a restaurant but after Andrei heard what happened to John, he dragged his cousin with him since he knew how to drive a car and can get him faster to where John was brought up. And that's how they ended up here instead of a fancy restaurant.

The old doctor came out of the room and explained that John was now safe and just sleeping. Everyone breath a sigh of relief and one by one entered the room to check up on him.

--

Terrence was too bored. If you ever meet him, you could see how bored he is from his expression. They were waiting for some guy who assumed to be one of those dudes in the suicde squad for trying to commit a suicide. Terrence saw the guy who tried to kill himself lying on the bed.

'Such an idiot to commit a suicide' He thought as he looked at the guy sleeping in the bed with disgust.

"If you wanna go back, you can go on ahead. Please tell the other's that it was an emergency." Andrei explained and patted his cousins back, urging him to go.

"Whatever." he mumbled, but from the strong senses of Andrei, he heard it and just suppress his urge to punch his cousin on the face.

'Jerk!' Andrei thought.

From the beginning, Andrei hated his cousin for his guts, arrogance and being the mister know-it-all between them. Even though he did his best, his cousin would always have the best praise out of the two of them.

Terrence had leaved the room quietly and Andrei's temper had died down. He walked over to John's bedside and secretly caressed his fingers laying from the side.

'Your such a jerk! What made you think of commiting suicide John? Wake up now or else I'll be kicking your butt off the bed. You made me worry you idiot! You don't know how much pain I had to endure for you. The pain of jealousy and the pain of not having you for myself. Call me selfish but these emotions, it just stirs me up you stupid moron! It hurts, If you could only know how I feel, but I'm afraid you might distance yourself from me so I had to hide it. Forgive me.' Andrei thought as he looked down at his friend who lie motionless on the bed, pale and sickly.

Andrei, has been harboring feelings for his bestfriend since second year of their high school. He didn't knew how it started, it just dawned upon him and sooner he realized, he do have feelings for John when John sang a song for him during his 17th birthday. And that's when he realized that he was truly in love to his bestfriend but have no guts to tell him.

--

The day passed by quickly and when another morning came, John finally woke up from his sleep. Andrei and Steve were the only one's left inside the room since Bien and Harold went home to rest, the two had their turn to look out of John last night.

"John are you all right?" Asked Steve as he peered up to John but only to find him brimming with tears in his eyes. "Why are you crying? Does something hurt?"

"John my friend, tell me and your brother what hurts. Please, were begging you."

"My heart hurts."

"What?!"

Both Steve and Andrei shouted in panic. Steve quickly pushed Andrei out to call the doctor but somehow, John managed to stop them before calling the doctor and having him on check even though it wasn't true.

'My heart hurts because I was betrayed by my love. I do not have any sickness.' John thought. He had kept on sobbing as he sat up from his bed, his hands covering his whole face.

"John, tell your brother why are you crying." Slowly with tears in his eyes, John looked at the two people occupying his room and explained sniff by sniff.

"My heart hurts brother... not from a heart diseased but from a broken heart caused by love."
