Millard waited on Hugh's bed in his room. Hugh was outside somewhere and nowhere to be found in the current moment.
My true self? Millard thought over and over but never find the right answer to the question. Millard sat up and looked at the clock. 9:00 pm. Hugh would have been back by now right before the reset. He stood up and walked out the room. But before he did, he took off his clothes to stay invisible.
"Hugh why won't you love me back?"
Millard jumped and saw Hugh with Fiona. Bees were crawling around Hugh's body and the wooden floor seem to grow small branches of flowers wilting as fast as lighting.
"You aren't the one for me Fiona." Hugh said brushing her off, "I still like you as a friend. I hope you understand."
Fiona's eyes watered. The tears fell on the patch of wilted flowers and crumbled. Hugh walked past her to his room. Millard ran to his own room and slammed the door. Fiona's crying was heard through his door. Millard covered his ears and crouched to the floor.
Suddenly, a knock was heard in his door.
"I thought I told you to wait in my room."
The voice was Hugh's judging by some of the bees crawling underneath Millard's door.
"Go away!" Millard yelled closing his eyes.
"What? Why?"
The bees outside the door buzzed loudly and the bees inside Millard's room flew all over the place banging into things.
"If you're going to break Fiona's heart like that I don't want to see you."
"What!"
Hugh threw open the door making Millard fall backwards. Drat, I forgot to lock the door. Hugh walked in the room and saw no one.
"Uh…" Millard remembered he was invisible.
Hugh pulled out something and looked all over the room.
"If you're naked you better put some clothes on before I wear these."
Millard then saw that it was the glasses from Dr. Owl. He jumped up and quickly put on a robe.
"There you are," Hugh said putting away the glasses, "What's gotten into you?"
Millard's sight got blurry and he felt cold liquid trailing down his cheek.
"Millard please tell me." Hugh said, "I don't want to see you always giving me that look saying that I'm the bad guy."
Millard wiped his tears.
"I don't want others to think that you're a selfish person not thinking of what others feel for you."
"You mean like Fiona?"
"Yes! Exactly like her, you broke her heart! She loved you and you know that!"
"But I don't love her. I love you!"
Millard shook his head, "Stop it! I don't want to hear you"
Hugh grabbed hold of Millard's shoulders and glared at him with sharp eyes. Millard shut his eyes trying to avoid the death glare.
"Millard look at me!" Hugh yelled at Millard.
The buzzing from the bees grew louder and louder. Millard knew that Hugh could see him, even if he was invisible. Opening his eyes, Millard faced Hugh.
"Tell me Millard," Hugh said in soft voice, "What's wrong?"
Millard couldn't hold back his tears and looked down on the floor.
"I didn't want you to change so much!" Millard yelled.
Hugh flinched and turned his head to the side, "What?"
"Ever since you confessed to me, you've been acting like you don't care about others. You didn't even think twice on how Fiona would feel towards your response."
Hugh pushed Millard away and gathered his bees.
"So," he said with a deadly glare, "I'm suppose to care about them as well to have you understand?"
"Huh?"
"What is this!"
Miss Peregrine burst in the room and looked at Hugh and Millard.
"Hugh Apiston!" Miss Peregrine grabbed hold of his arm and pulled him out in the hall, "Mr. Nulling's, you are not to eavesdrop or leave this room until we figured out what is going on."
Millard watched as Hugh was pulled down the hall. He slammed the door of his room and locked it. Whatever Hugh was going to tell Miss Peregrine wasn't going to be good. No matter what, Millard's mind would go blank whenever he would think about Hugh's words.
