Chapter 9!
There is a bit (well, I should say quite a bit) of character tension here!
Enjoy!
Still Mai's P.O.V.
"You... love me?" I whispered into the phone.
"Yes, Mai," said Naru.
*click*
He had hung up.
Maybe that decision I made was harder to obey than I thought.
John's P.O.V.
Why would she do that? Why would she purposely ignore me? Did she change her mind about me? Or did I just do something wrong?
Suddenly, I realized why she did that.
Naru.
Naru's P.O.V.
What is wrong with me? Or more like, what's wrong with her? She can't go five minutes without bugging me about something as unimportant as me being in love with her. Why did she suddenly start caring about love so much?
Then, I knew why.
John.
Mai's P.O.V.
Why did he have to love me? Now I have to choose who I want to be with!
Kind, caring John?
Or mysterious, smart Naru?
I don't know.
But I do know one thing. No matter what happens, at one point I'll have to choose. That may be one of the hardest decisions a girl makes. Tomorrow, I'm apologizing to John for ignoring him. I might not necessarily tell him why, though. I don't want him to be mad at Naru, or Naru to be mad at me.
But at that moment, all I could think about was sleep. Slowly, steadily, I fell into a dreamless sleep.
