"That's amazing news!"I let out a sigh of relief, feeling grateful for Max's support and enthusiasm."We have to celebrate!" Max exclaimed. "When can we get together?""I'm not feeling too good right now, Max," I said, feeling a wave of nausea hit me.

MAX'S POINT OF VIEWVerse 1: I've known you for so long My heart's been singing a love song But every time I see you, I just can't say What I really feel, it's like I'm locked awayChorus: I can't tell you, can't let it out My heart is screaming, but my lips won't shout I'm lost in this love that I can't show And it's tearing me apart, but you'll never knowVerse 2: We've been through so much together You're my confidant, my forever But every time you're near, I just can't speak My heart is racing, but my mouth is weakChorus: I can't tell you, can't let it out My heart is screaming, but my lips won't shout I'm lost in this love that I can't show And it's tearing me apart, but you'll never knowBridge: I wish I could just say it But I'm so afraid to convey it I don't want to ruin what we have But my heart is yearning to break the silence, to break the pactChorus: I can't tell you, can't let it out My heart is screaming, but my lips won't shout I'm lost in this love that I can't show
Red's eyes widened in surprise, and I felt a pang of fear in my chest. What if I had just ruined our friendship forever?As the silence stretched between us, Red's expression softened, and he reached out to take my hand. "Max, you could never ruin our friendship," he said, giving my hand a reassuring squeeze. "I'm just surprised. I never would have guessed that you felt that way about me."I felt my cheeks flush with embarrassment, but I met Red's gaze steadily. "I know it's unexpected, and I don't want to make things weird between us. I just had to be honest with you about how I feel."Red nodded thoughtfully. "I appreciate your honesty, Max. I care about you a lot, too, but I need some time to think about what this means for us."I tried to keep the disappointment from showing on my face, but Red must have seen it. He leaned closer to me and cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing lightly over my skin. "Hey, it's not a no," he said softly. "I just need to process this."I felt a glimmer
IRIS'S POINT OF VIEWAs Max's best friend, I had been waiting for her to finally confess her feelings to Red for what felt like ages. So when Max told me that she had finally done it, I was ecstatic for her. I had always known that Max and Red had a special connection, and I couldn't wait for them to finally be together.But when Max shared that Red had turned her down, I was shocked. I had always assumed that Red felt the same way about Max, but it seemed that I was wrong. My heart ached for Max, and I could see the disappointment and sadness written all over her face.I wanted to comfort her, to tell her that everything would be okay, but I didn't know what to say. I knew that Max had been holding onto her feelings for a long time, and it must have been devastating for her to be rejected.But despite the pain she was feeling, Max remained strong. She told me that she understood Red's decision and that she still valued their friendship above all else. I admired her resilience and str
I lay in the hospital bed, my body aching and my heart heavy with grief. The doctors had confirmed what I already knew: I had suffered a miscarriage. The baby I had been carrying for the past few months was gone.Tears streamed down my face as I tried to process the loss. I couldn't help but wonder what could have been. Would it have been a boy or a girl? What would their life have been like with a second child? The questions were endless, and the pain was unbearable."Mommy," Lily hugged me, and I cried again, "you'll be okay, mom, I'm here," she said."Yes, baby. I'll be okay too," I smiled at her. I had just finished crying when I heard a knock on the door. To my surprise, it was Red, holding a basket full of fruits."Hey, Iris. I brought you some fruits," he said with a gentle smile.My heart swelled with gratitude for his kindness. At that moment, I realized how lucky I was to have people like my friends in my life."Thank you so much, Red. This means a lot to me," I said, feeli
RED'S POINT OF VIEWI couldn't shake the feeling of regret as I watched Max and Lance in the room. I knew he had messed up by taking down Max's confession and pushing her away. I had let my fears and insecurities get the best of me.As much as I wanted to hate Lance for being with Max, I knew deep down that it wasn't Lance's fault. I had no right to be jealous, and I had no one to blame but myself.But what if I took a risk now? What if I told Max how he felt, and they could try to make it work? I couldn't shake the feeling that they were meant to be together, and I knew I would always regret it if I didn't try.I took a deep breath, trying to steel my nerves. I walked towards Max and Lance, my heart pounding in my chest."Hey, guys," he said, trying to sound casual.Max turned towards him, a surprised look on her face. Lance just nodded, giving me a small smile."I'm sorry to interrupt, but can I talk to you for a second, Max?" I asked, his voice barely above a whisper.Max looked a

As I sat in the small studio watching Red and Felix practice the song they had created for Red's upcoming concert, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. Both of them were so talented and watching them work together was like witnessing magic in action.Red's voice was powerful and soulful, and it blended perfectly with Felix's guitar playing.

"We've been working on it for weeks," he said. "
I felt a mixture of excitement and nerves as I and Felix arrived at his parent's house with their two children in tow. It had been a while since we had last visited, and she couldn't help but wonder if things would be awkward between them after all that had happened.But as soon as we walked through the door, any fears I had quickly dissipated. Felix's parents, who were waiting eagerly at the entrance, embraced them both warmly and were quick to fuss over their grandchildren. The kids, in turn, were thrilled to see their grandparents again and immediately launched into telling them about all the things they had been up to since their last visit.Watching Felix's parents dote on the children brought a smile to my face. It was clear how much they adored their grandchildren and how happy they were to have them around.

I sat on the edge of the bed, my fingers tapping nervously against my thigh. I looked up at Felix, who was sitting across from me, his expression serious. He had just asked me if I was ready to try for another child, and I had agreed, but she couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled in my stomach.It wasn't that I didn't want another child. In fact, I had been hoping for one for a long time. I loved our daughter so much, and I longed to give her a sibling. But the process of trying to conceive had been difficult the first time around, and I was afraid of being disappointed if we failed to make another child.Felix reached across the bed and took my hand. "I know you're worried, love," he said softly. "But we've done this before. We know what we're doing."I nodded, but my mind was still racing. I couldn't help but remember the months of disappointment we had faced the first time around. We had tried everything, from tracking my ovulation to taking fertility supplements, b

MAX POINT OF VIEWI sat in the doctor's office, my heart pounding in my chest. My mind was racing with thoughts of what could be wrong with me. The doctor's words echoed in my head: "There's something in your stomach, Max."My stomach churned as I waited for the doctor to explain further. Was it cancer? A tumor? I had heard so many horror stories about people being diagnosed with serious illnesses, and I couldn't shake the fear that I might be one of them.The doctor's voice brought me back to reality. "We need to run some tests to determine what it is," she said. "It could be something minor, but we need to be sure."I nodded, barely able to speak. Fear had taken hold of me, and I felt completely out of control. I couldn't bear the thought of being sick, of having to go through treatments and surgeries.As I left the doctor's office, I felt like I was in a daze. Everything around me seemed hazy and distorted, and I couldn't focus on anything except my fear. I tried to call my partner
