    about Christopher?”


    M frowned.

    It appeared to thedies that Christopher could be rather


    maniptive.


    Meanwhile, Be kept her eyes outside the car window. She was not


    in the mood for small talk with Christopher.


    Christopher sat quietly next to her, his eyes never once shifting away


    from her.


    He was happy and content just watching over her.


    “Chris, thank you for keeping mepany while I was in the h


    Without looking at Christopher, Be said in a soft tone, “You mu


    tired. You should get home and have a good rest. I could use so


    time alone.”


    “Are you avoiding me, Be?” Christopher furrowed his brows, hist heart sinking.


    “I don’t know what you said to my dad, Chris, but if you still want us to stay friends, I hope this stops


    now.”


    Be stared at him coldly. “Justin and I are over. Nothing is going to happen between us either.”


    “You got the wrong idea, Be. I said nothing to your father. I-”

    Be closed her and shook her head. “You fell for the person I


    was in the past. It has been 15 years. I’m no longer the light in your darkness. There is nothing I can do


    for you. Our good time as kids


    brought us together again, Chris. I cherish our friendship, so I hope


    you won’t ruin it. If you refuse to take my advice, the only thing I cant do is stop meeting you.”


    Be tried to break it to Christopher as gently as she could.


    Still, the words cut through Christopher like a knife.


    He heaved heavily as the color washed off his face. Christopher clenched his fists. ‘I love you so much,


    Be. But you hurt me so badly. How can you be so cruel?’


    Amid the tension, Be’s phone vibrated.


    She looked at the mobile screen. Taken aback that Linny was the


    caller, Be took the call.


    “What’s the matter?” Be spoke in hushed tones since she was not


    alone.


    “Ms. Thompson, are you free tonight? I need to see you.”


    Linny murmured in distress,” I have something important to tell you, but I’m at the Salvadors’ residence.


    I can’t talk since there are too


    many eyes around.”


    Anxious, Be nced at her watch. “I’ll go to you tonight. We’ll talkter.”


    Christopher quietly paid close attention to Be.


    He could barely catch what Be said as thetter kept her voice


    down.


    “No, no. I’ll go to you instead. Don’te to me.”


    Linny panicked, her voice shaking. “Ill go to you. Just give me a ce, and I’ll meet you there.”


    “Okay. I’ll text you in a bit.”


    Aware of Linny’s precarious predicament, Be kept the conversation short and quickly hung up.


    Christopher asked with concern, “Is everything okay, Be? Do you need my help?”


    “No,” Be snapped back.


    Christopher was surprised. His eyes dimmed with frustration.


    Despite his efforts, he could never get close to her.


    Be always built walls around herself, and she never let him into her


    heart.


    She took a deep breath and put her hand over her forehead. “I’m sorry, Chris. I don’t need the ride to
