Chap. 25 : The Happy Ending
It was a bright morning. The gang was having breakfast. Silence filled the room. Everyone only looked at each other except for Tyson and Hilary. The usual bickering duo was just eating their meals. Tyson was gobbling his food happily since the brunette didn't boss him around whereas Hilary was spacing out frequently, her food missing her mouth. Carol looked at Kai before turning towards Hilary, frowning at her friend. The other girls also sent worried looks at the brunette. Finally, Hilary stood up, taking her unfinished plate of food to the sink.
" HEY !!! That's wasting !!!!!" yelled Tyson.
Hilary was quiet. The gang could see her mind off somewhere in space. Suddenly,
CRASH !!!!!
The plate that Hilary was washing fell and broke, leaving a cut n the brunette's hand as a punishment for what she did to it. Blood oozed out from Hilary's hand as Carol, Mariah, Mariam and Denise stood up. Bryan stopped Jade from helping in case she got hurt. ( Aw, protective bro … Wish I had one … )
" We'll help to bandage. You boys clean up the pieces." Said Mariam as she pushed a blinking Hilary out of the dining room.
The boys frowned as looked at Kai.
" Please Kai, do us a favour." pleaded Carol before closing the door.
-
( In Hilary's room … )
The girls pushed Hilary into her room and closed the door.
" Okay Hilary, I want to know what the hell is going on ! Spit it out !!" said Mariam as Mariah and Denise opened the cupboard and took out the kit. Carol sat beside her friend and looked at the wound. It was quite deep.
" What were you thinking ?" she asked, cleaning the wound before applying the ointment on it.
" Nothing …" mumbled Hilary.
" C'mon Hil, we know something's bothering you." Said Mariah.
" Go on, speak." Urged Denise, crossing her arms while looking at Hilary.
" It's about … Tyson." She said, after hesitation as the girls looked at each other, before smiling.
" I see." Nodded Denise, grinning.
" You should have said so …" grinned Mariam too.
" Well, at least we know its him." Said Mariah as Carol nodded.
" What about him ?"
" I dunno. You guys might think I'm crazy if I say this."
" We won't."
" I'm wondering what does he think of me … As a friend or deeper. You know, well, yeah." Said Hilary, her cheeks burning.
" We know. We'll help you. What are friends for anyway …" said Denise, smiling.
A smile lit across Hilary's face.
" Thanks …"
-
( In the dining room … )
" You know what Tyson, you should observe Hilary more." Said Hiro as Anna nodded.
" Yeah, she's not herself lately." Said Ray.
" As in ?" asked Tyson blankly.
" For heaven's sake be concerned about her !!!" exclaimed Tala as Tyson jumped.
" Yeah, chill it Tala ! Chill ! Cool it …" said Tyson, blinking at the red head.
" Well Granger, you SHOULD be worrying about her. She'll snap at you anytime now that she's a bit down." Notified Kai.
" Yeah, I know." Said Tyson. ' I know …'
-
( At night, before bedtime … )
The gang was in the living room, discussing something private. Tyson and Hilary were not in the scene. Tyson was playing his PS3 ( Cool, I want one !! ) while Hilary was washing the dishes.
" We asked her, she was thinking about him. Sadly …" said Denise, wrinkling her nose in disgust.
" C'mon, Tyson's not bad once you get to know him." Reasoned Max.
" Whatever." Said Jade.
" Anyway, what are we gonna do about those two ?" asked Anna.
" Shall I suggest that they go on a date ?" asked Mariam, her eyes twinkling like stars.
" Yeah ! Maybe we could get them to confess to each other !" grinned Jade.
" I dunno, I don't think it's a good idea if they find out what we're doing behind their backs …" frowned Emily.
" What's more, Tyson's always straight-minded. He just sees the surface." Mumbled Kenny.
" Well, think of the ending if it worked out. Won't it be nice and sweet ?" asked Mariah.
" Don't you know that we two hate love-dovey stuff ? It's disgusting …" frowned the pranksters.
" Ah who cares ? Face it, we're gonna get them together !!!" grinned Jade as the Blitzkrieg Boys blinked at her.
" You're very … err … dynamic in this sort of stuff huh ?" said Bryan, surprised at his sister.
Jade said nothing and smiled.
" Anyway, let's just get some sleep. We've got a big day ahead of us tomorrow." Mumbled Hiro as everyone left.
-
" You think this is a good idea ?" asked Kai as he closed the door. " You were quiet the whole time." He pointed.
Carol dropped onto a chair beside the bed and looked at him.
" I guess so …" she mumbled before yawning. " I need a bath … I sweated like mad before dinner."
Kai watched Carol as she went in the bathroom, slamming the door. In his mind, he had a feeling. An unknown feeling which he didn't feel before.
Inside the bathroom, Carol leaned against the door, sighing.
' It's not Hilary who's falling apart with Tyson, I'm starting to feel mine's too …' she thought, feeling sour.
( The next day … 5.45 P.M. )
She's coming.
Good.
Is Tyson there yet ?
No …
Right, Mariam signing off.
The gang was carrying out their mission, getting Tyson and Hilary together. Tala, Denise and Jade had booked a place for two at a nearby café, the Blitzkrieg Boys were at home, playing Tyson's PS3 since they didn't want to get into trouble if the plan backfired. But they had to do the house chores for an exchange.
' Their faces were priceless.' Giggled Carol silently.
" Shhh …" whispered Kai, who was behind her.
The duo was under a tree, waiting for Hilary to come.
" Right …"
Just then, Hilary appeared. She was wearing an attractive yellow-lemon-knee-length dress that had white frills around it. She wore white socks and white shoes that matched her dress perfectly. She had a mini sling bag strapped across her chest. She looked at her watch before surveying her surroundings.
' He's not here yet. Typical though … I wonder what he has to say to me.' She wondered, entering the café.
A few minutes later, Tyson rushed towards the door before pushing it open.
" I'M LATE !!!!!!!" he yelled. " Hilary will get me for this !!!!!!"
The gang giggled when they watched the blunette's worried face.
Inside the café, Tyson saw Hilary sitting by the window side, gazing at the plants. He blushed when he saw how pretty Hilary was.
' C'mon Tyson ! You can do this !!!! You're a guy for heaven's sake !!!!' he thought as he walked up towards her and sat down.
The waitress came forward.
" Any drinks ?" she asked sweetly.
" Coke will do." Smiled Tyson.
" Lemonade." Replied Hilary, looking at Tyson with interest as the waitress walked away.
" So, what did you ask me out for ?" she asked as Tyson blinked.
" Huh ?"
" Why did you ask me out ?" asked Hilary with interest.
" I didn't, and it was you who asked me out wasn't it ?" pointed Tyson, blinking.
" I did not !" frowned Hilary as silence swept across the two.
The duo just stared at each other for a few minutes until …
" We've been fooled …" murmured Hilary.
" Yeah. But since we're here, I guess we'll have a drink before going. We haven't been alone in a while." Smiled Tyson as Hilary nodded, blushing slightly.
The two chat and laughed about their past, while drinking their drinks. The others observed this with interest, their hearts happy with their success. After an hour, tea was over. Tyson and Hilary walked out of the café before stopping.
" Well Tyson, it's been a great afternoon with you. I gotta go now, I still have to do some gardening at home." Smiled Hilary before walking away.
Tyson couldn't hold it any longer. ' Rats !' he thought before holding Hilary's hand. Hilary blushed and turned around.
" I know I'm stupid and weird saying this but I-I-I- I LIKE YOU !!!! I LOVE YOU !!!!" he burst as Hilary blinked.
It took a few seconds for Hilary to receive what Tyson was speaking since he was speaking very fast. A smile made its way to Hilary's face as the brunette hugged the blunette tightly.
" Oh Tyson, me too !!!" she smiled as Tyson blushed, before hugging her back tightly.
' SUCCESS !!!!!!' thought everyone ( Maybe every girl ) as they jumped.
Carol watched the couple, with an unreadable expression on her face.
' How sweet …' she thought.
Suddenly, she felt a pair of arms wrapping them around her.
" You know I still love you …" whispered Kai in her ears as Carol blushed beet red.
" Why-Why-Why are you telling me this ? It's not like I don't know you have feelings for me." She mumbled as Kai smiled.
" I heard something unexpected last night …" he smiled.
" What thing ?" asked carol blankly. She didn't say anything to Kai last night. Question marks were appearing on Carol's head.
" Don't tell me you don't know ?" frowned Kai.
" What thing ?" asked Carol, puzzled.
Kai said nothing. He leaned forward and pulled a puzzled Carol into a loving and gentle kiss. Carol was shocked and stood there, blinking and blushing. Tears foamed and fell out of Carol's eyes. The both of them parted. Kai looked at Carol with sad eyes.
" What is it ?" he asked.
" Nothing." Mumbled Carol, wiping away her tears with her sleeve.
Kai trapped one that she missed. " You said I didn't love you anymore. You cried in your sleep." He smiled sadly as Carol's eyes widened.
" I DID ?!" she gasped.
" It's okay, I understand. We've been having less time alone lately anyway. But I want you to know that I'm always here for you." Smiled Kai as he pulled Carol into a tight embrace. Carol lit a smile and returned the hug. The two stayed like this, enjoying each other's company. The sun had started to set, Carol looked up into the red, orange and yellowish sky. The sea-gulls and birds flew in groups and returned to their nests.
" Kai, I think we should go back now." She said as Kai nodded as they broke apart.
Carol tried to walk a few steps but soon fell on her butt.
" Ouch …" she frowned. She was so nervous about Tyson and Hilary that she didn't even have the time to notice she was tired. Kai bent down and looked at her with concerned eyes.
" You okay ?"
" Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." She yawned.
" I think you didn't sleep well last night. C'mon Carol, I'll carry you back." He smiled ( WTH IS WITH KAI !? HE'S SMILING SO MANY TIMES!!! ) as he carried Carol on his back.
" Thanks." Smiled Carol.
" No problem."
On their way back, Carol told Kai something Kai wouldn't dream of forgetting.
" Kai, I love you too." She smiled as night fell upon her.
Fine
Well, it's over. T.T
