Amethyst, noticing the doom ahead of her turn back sharply and ran back into the garden. She could hear Orests and his friend's footstep behind which make her stop behind Nathan and she pinch his shoulders, pretending to be massaging him.
Nathan:???
Nathan's brow creased and he heaved a tiring sigh but as soon as he saw Orests and his friends, he understands what it means. His eyes shut again, exuding a 'I don't care aura.'
Orests and his friends ran away like someone who had just seen a ghost while amethyst walk to the second swing and sat down, expecting him to say something, but he did not. she stare at him for what seems like forever, hoping that he would notice just like he always do and open his eyes, but he seems not to notice, already engross in what he is hearing. Then, amethyst's gaze fell on the second earpiece that was on his lap. She pick it up slowly, praying in her mind that he should not notice as she raise it to her ear slowly, eager to know what he is listening to that make him stay silent like that.
This operation seems dangerous, but she kinda felt the gut to do it.
'awful' something screamed in her mind as soon as the slow music hit her eardrums, her brow all creasing up. This is the saddest song she had heard in her life.
Suddenly, she felt something touching her second ear which make her shut her eyes open slowly only to see Nathan plugging the second earpiece to her ear. She was caught in the act, RED HANDED!!!
'i… I didn't… I didn't mean to barge into your privacy… I' she stammered, not knowing the right thing to say.
'when you want to steal, add lots of courage and if you are so curious, be bold to ask.' He said, re-plugging the two ear piece back into Amethyst's ear.
'clear your curiosity' he added then sat back down while stunned amethyst melt as the solemn of the song penetrate in to her ears
♫♪ I have been lonely, suffered, pained
Try my beat not to cross the lane
It becomes unbearable… lonely than ever
It hurt deeper, deeper in the bone
More painful than you all could have known
But there is nobody to sympathize … lonely than ever
Pushed further, try harder, all still seem same
Should I have given up on life, would I be free?
Try my best to still be brave and same
But now its over, you cant feel my pain.
Gives in lots of trial but nothing change
Try harder and harder, all still same
Sometime I thought I was not that sane
But after all, they all are my fate
One day it would be good, but one day never comes,
Waited and waited, a million times more
But there was nobody to encourage… lonely than ever
Pushed further, try harder, all still seem same
Should I have given up on life, would I be free?
Try my best to still be brave and same
But now its over, you cant feel my pain….♫♪
Amethyst's gaze wander toward Nathan whose eyes is still shut, cold and straight as though he has nothing in his mind to discuss with people.
'Do you regret doing it then?' she asked, not knowing where the courage comes from.
Oh yeah, the courage comes from him, he just told her to be ask if she's curious.
'I don't know' he replied, still not opening his eyes.
'did you really do it?' she asked again, her eyes laced up with tears.
'Maybe, but I am not sure.'
'Why, what's wrong, what happened?'
'I truly caught them together and was angry, pained and all sort of negative emotion. I know I hit them, but the rest… I don't remember. All I know is that their dead body was found. Who else could have done it if not for me? I sure should have been the one who did it.' He replied, his eyes still shut.
'You wouldn't have done it if you were in your right sense'
'I really can't say cause, anger took the best of me' he replied, this time opening his eyes slowly. He turn to look at her slowly only to see her eyes lace up with tears.
Did the song make her cry?
His hand moved up and he pulled the earpiece away from her ear.
'Don't force yourself to listen if you can't bear' he said as the tear in Amethyst's eyes roll down her cheek.
'Just stay away from me purple, I can't control my emotions.' He concluded then stood on his feet to walk away but amethyst's voice rang from behind, which make him pause.
'If you were given an opportunity to make a wish which would be granted immediately, what would you wish for?' she asked.
'I would wish that little lavender should stop following me.'
'Be serious, what would you wish for?' she asked again which make Nathan pause for a while and turn back to look at amethyst who is still sitting on the swing, seriousness all across her face.
'Come and find out.' He said then turn back to walk away while amethyst follows him.
*Male's building*
Nathan raises his gaze as all students dodge him. Few others walk back into their room and lock the door from behind, the passageway turning empty. None of them want to make eye contact with a life monster. Amethyst look around as she walk toward him.
'why?.. why are they all running?' she asked, her brow creasing.
'what I would wish for… is to be loved by everyone again.' He replied instead which make amethyst look toward him, straight in the eye. He look pitiful, he must have felt bad, he must have felt lonely, he must have regretted a lot.'
He is the real definition of loneliness.
