Day 30- A hug with a shocking news!

I opened my eyes and saw Jellal impassively looking at me.

"Oh...you're awake." I straightened myself up and rubbed my eyes.

"You were drooling." He said.

"I was? Sorry."

"Were you given the IV drips or me?" He rolled his eyes.

"Ah! Are you feeling all right now?" I touched his forehead but he annoyingly slapped it off, "I'm all right."

"Gee...still stubborn as ever."

"Were you here all night?"

"Of course I was." I pouted.

"Weren't your parents worried about you?"

"Most probably not."

He sighed and suddenly placed something on the bed. It was my phone.

"Oh...where did you get this from?" I picked it up and checked if it still had some juice or not.

"Meredy gave it to me while you were drooling."

"Meredy-San?"

"She took Mimi and left."

"Eh? What do you mean 'took Mimi and left'? Did she kidnap her as well?"

"Can't you think straight for once, Scarlet?"

"What? She has that kind of image now on my mind."

He sighed, "She left Momo with a Nanny who takes care of lost children and left with Mimi to Okiniwa."

"She already gave Momo to a Nanny?! I never even got a chance to say goodbye to her--!"

"I told her to do so."

"What? You told her to do so? Without my consent?"

"Because you were drooling--"

"Can you stop with that?!"

"Look, what matters is that Momo has a family now."

"But since I found her, doesn't that give me the right to say goodbye to her?"

"It does, it surely does but you see, at that time, you were drool--"

"Will you stop or should I slice your throat with the scalpel?"

"I'm sorry."

"Well...what's done is done, what's gone is gone, huh."

"You can always meet her."

"Hm, maybe."

"Anyway, I'm gonna get discharged today." He smiled.

"That's cool."

"Aren't you forgetting something?"

"What? I'm not forgetting anything."

He raised an eyebrow.

"Seriously, what am I forgetting?"

He sighed.

"Oh! You mean your jacket?!" I quickly removed it and handed it over to him, "Thank you for it, it kept me warm--"

"Are you for real?" He scoffed, "Stop playing hard to get, will you?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" I tilted my head in confusion.

He blankly looked at me but abruptly pulled me by my wrist and hugged me.

"EH?!"

"This is what you wanted, right?"

"N-no..."

"Liar."

"Actually, I was expecting something more but...this will also do." I mumbled.

"Does my feelings reach you now?"

"Then--" My eyes widened, "Are you saying that you accept my confession?!"

He didn't say anything.

"Fernandes, I hope you're not playing with me...cause if you are then I'm not having fun."

He pulled out of the hug and once more stared at me. I didn't know what he was trying to do or what he really wanted to do but I knew that he had something to say to me...something he was hesitating to let out, but what?

"Is something on your mind?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Do you...want to kiss me?" He rolled his eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like this?"

"Scarlet, my engagement is broken. I broke up with Meredy."

"Ehhhhh?! Y-you broke off the engagement?!"

"I don't think that's a shocker news after all that has happened."

"But...she seems like a good girl, she was just not in the right path Jellal."

"I know, all she needed was someone to guide her, but you see, she won't change. She was born with the silver spoon in her mouth and what she wants, she gets. I don't like people like her."

"Then..." I slowly looked down, "You might not like me as well..."

"Huh?"

"I'm the same as her, Fernandes. I try to get what I want...No matter what..."

"That's the difference, Scarlet."

I looked up at him again.

"You try, she doesn't."

"But--"

"No matter how much you try to make a bad person look good, in the end, they will be the same."

I didn't say anything.

"Anyway, I think you should go back home now." He let go of me and looked elsewhere.

"That's it?" I frowned.

"Hm?"

"Just a hug?"

"Just a hug."

"No...kiss?"

"Will you go already?"

"Why do you do this to me?" I whined.

"No comment." He smirked.

"Whatever, I'm gonna go and freshen up and then come back to you."

"You don't have to, I'm gonna get discharged anyway."

"But--"

"If you want to meet, meet me tomorrow."

"I can?!"

"Stop acting like the girl who doesn't intrudes other people's privacy."

"How rude..." I crossed my arms.

"If you don't leave now, I can be even ruder."

"Tch...fine, I'm going. Have a great day!" I yelled annoyingly and stomped out the room.

Closing the door a little loudly behind me, I walked a few steps away from the room and sat on an empty chair.

He hugged me...

Ahh my cheeks flushed red...

My heart won't stop beating...

So he broke his engagement huh...

Then, does that mean that I still have a chance with him? Yes, Maybe I do.
