Chapter Nine
"I'm very hesitant. I know if I reject you, we might not even be able to be friends anymore. Even if we remain friends, it will certainly be different from before. So I can only avoid you because I'm afraid of losing you... Sometimes, friends can go farther than romance, don't you think?"
Aurelia tearfully spoke, "I have been too selfish, always taking from you without ever doing anything for you."
As she spoke, suddenly, his arm resting on her shoulder slowly slid downward.
It fell weakly as if it was completely lifeless.
The moment his hand dropped, Aurelia felt her heart sinking deep, breaking into pieces.
She looked at him, only to see his eyes tightly closed, his face pale as if he had left her forever.
"Kevin Gregory?"
"Kevin, don't scare me, talk to me."
"Kevin!!"
Aurelia cried as she shook him, but he had no response and even fell against her.
