Lily

Jibee drives my car while Kevin takes the other car they used. Jenny and I sat in the backseat, I know that Jenny's emotion is not stable yet that is why I accompanied her here in the backseat. I glanced at Jenny's phone in her hand. I wonder why her parents didn't call her yet. Heck, it's almost midnight.

"Jen? Can I ask you something?"

"Yes?"

"Your parents, why aren't they calling you yet?"

"They are working abroad, it's just me and the maids live in our house." She explained.

"Would you mind if I take you home tonight?"

Jibee gave a smirk. I realized what I have just said.

"I... uh... I mean, we take you home tonight. It will be better if you have some company." I explained

I heard Jibee chuckle.

Jenny giggled "If it's fine with you."

~~

I let Jenny take a shower first before me. While she's in my bathroom, I went to my closet and lent her my unused undergarments and pajamas.

I knocked at my bathroom "Jen? I'll just give you the clothes. Can you open the door?"

She opened the door; her body was just covered with my towel. I gulped, imaging her body behind that towel.

I looked away and said, "Uh... here!"

I heard her chuckled and took the clothes from my hand.

Jenny

What happened today was extremely stressful. I am so thankful that Miracle saved me. When I kissed her arm, there was something that I felt but I can't pinpoint it. She's the cutest when she blushes. I was wrong judging her; she's the kindest person I've met.

I've finished bathing and it's her turn to take a bath.

"Jen?" She called out

"Yes?" I shouted

"Can you help me to take off my shirt?" She asked

I blushed to the thought.

"I... uh...”

"If you're not comfortable, you can ask Jibee. She's in the guest room."

"No. I'll do it."

I stood up from her bed and went to her bathroom.

"Can I come in now?"

"Yes."

I twisted the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

Lily greeted me in a shy smile. I looked at her from head to toe. My cheeks turned into crimson red when I realized that she's just wearing her panties.

"Uh... help?"

I walked to her and helped her to take off her shirt. When it's finally off, our faces are just inches away. I felt her strawberry scent breath. I started to invite lips. I moved closer to her when our lips were half an inch away...

"Lily?"

Jibee walked in and made us both jump away from each other.

"Oh my god! Am I interrupting something?"

I looked over to Lily who is also blushing "We are just... I'm just helping her to take her shirt off."

Jibee nodded but I didn't miss her and smirked "The food is ready. You need to eat, you need to take your med." she said to Lily

~~

Lily let Jibee and Kevin sleep. While we were eating, Lily kept her mouth shut. I was confused why Lily needed to take medicine.

"Uh... Lily?"

She looked up to me "Hm?"

"Why do you need to take medicine? Are you ill?"

"I have a heart problem; I'll die in less than five months if we didn't find my perfect donor."

My heart sunk in pain for her.

"I'm sorry about that."

She smiled "It's okay. Just don't tell anyone about this. Can you do that for me?"

I nodded "Sure. How's your arm?"

"It sting still but I'll get used to it."

"What are you going to do with Cassy?" I asked, remembered that she said she'll do something to punish them

"You'll see on Monday."

"Uh.. Does your boyfriend know about your condition?"

I saw her frowning, "What boyfriend?" She snapped her fingers "Ah! You're referring to Kevin? He's not my boyfriend, he's just my friend."

I don't know why but I am happy that Kevin is not her boyfriend.

"What's with the smile, Jenny?"

I shook my head still with the smile "Nothing."

~~

I had the worst day of my life and I think I'm going to have the worst night also. I can't sleep. Lily is sleeping soundly beside me.

Miracle sleeps like a baby, she's the cutest person sleeping. Wait... what did I just say? Gosh! What the hell is happening to me? This cannot be! I cannot be attracted to her! Sure, I want to stare at her at school but... ugh!

"Jen?"

Lily slowly opened her sleepy eyes. I smiled at her.

"You can't sleep?" She asked rubbing her eyes

"Did I wake you up? I'm sorry"

"I am a light sleeper, don't be sorry. I heard so much sorry from you today."

I nodded "Thank you again, Lily. I owe you so much."

"After this night, what will happen? I mean... are we even friends now?"

I don't know what came to my mind; I reached for her face and caressed her cheek using my thumb.

"I don't know. After all the kindness you showed to me tonight, I really want to keep you but keeping you will cause you so much trouble. If Cassy found out that you helped me, she will go after you."

She closed her eyes, feeling my warm hand to her face "But... I want you to keep me."

It shook me hearing that from her.

"How about your heart, Lily? I'm worried about you."

"We can become friends secretly, right? Jenny, I don't know if you feel the same way but I felt a strong connection between us."

She... she felt it too, the weird feeling.

"How can that work?"

"We can hangout secretly. Please?"

I moved closer to her and kissed her cast "Sure thing, Ms. Miracle."

~~

I woke up in an unfamiliar bed the next morning. I looked around and remembered everything last night. A big smile invaded my lips the moment I laid my eyes on this beautiful lady spooning me.

"Morning, Jen." She suddenly spoke, her eyes still close

"Good morning, Lily."

She opened her eyes, for that moment I forgot how to breathe, her eyes met mine.

"Lily! It’s time to wake up!" Jibee barged into the room

We immediately moved away from each other.

"Jesus! I feel like I'm always interrupting your moment." Jibee mockingly said to us

I sat up and helped Lily to sit up.

Jibee sat next to me and asked, "How are you two?"

"I feel better now." I answered and looked at Lily, waiting for her answer

"I'm good now. I guess? It still sting a bit but I know it will heal faster." Lily winked at me; she remembered my kiss to her arm

Kevin entered the room with two bed tray tables in his hand.

"I know you two still feel tired, maybe it will be nice if you eat while relaxing." Kevin said, setting the bed trays in front Lily and me.

Lily smiled "Thank you, Kevin. You're still the best."

Jibee was about to get up but Lily stopped her.

"Wait. No one should know about what happened last night. I know it's weird but Jenny and I decided to become friends secretly." Lily announced

Jibee frowned "Secretly? I think it's too late for that." She said typed something to her phone

"The gossip site posted a picture of you and Jenny in front of the emergency room." She showed us the picture

It was when Lily and I walked back to her car, when she told me to not feel guilty while holding my hand.

"How can they..."

"That scandalmonger is everywhere, Lily." I informed her

"How can we solve that?" I know Lily is stress about this whole thing

"Jenny, Lily wants to have a peaceful high school. She's not allowed to stress, what happened last night was a complete disaster for her and can bring her heart in danger. I am not blaming you, okay? I just want to say that... if something happened, don't you ever leave her side. Everything is a mess now. Everyone knows what happened last night, well not the thing but they know that something is going on between you and Lily. Just looking at the picture, Lily holding your hand, you two looking at each other's eyes, they will suspect something, if you want to help Lily, tell everyone to not bother Lily, less drama for her, less stress for her." Jibee held my hand "Let's fix this whole thing as a team. Okay?"

I nodded and absorbed everything she said "Cassy will go after, Lily. I am sure about that."

"I handled that thing. Don't worry about her." Lily assured me
