But now when Jasper comes Helena smiles a little and her eyes are also shining. It’s easy to realize that there’s something Helena feels, even though it seems Helena herself isn’t aware of it. Aware of her friends looking at her with a suspicious stare, Helena introduces Jasper as her best friend to avoid the suspicions of her friends indeed though it won’t work because everything is already visible.
They chose tents and other equipment together. Drake was so happy to choose with Natty and so did Helena who looked focused on choosing with the help of Jasper, only Alex who was alone and felt not so interested. Instead of pointing his gaze at tents and camping bags, Alex prefers to look the other way, as if he’s trying to find something interesting around him.
Then Alex saw someone who looked very familiar. A man who was picking out some jewelry stores in front of him. The man looks familiar until Alex squinted to see the man more. And it’s true that Alex recognized the man immediately.
He was Ricky, the man Ruby loved and became his rival. But the girl Ricky was with didn’t look like Ruby. They’re both picking rings, and they look like lovers. They were very friendly, and it made Alex angry, Alex was upset because right in front of him Ricky was making out with other women even though Ruby loved him very much.
With his anger mounting, Alex stepped on his feet with an exasperated pace and a sharp stare ready to stab. And when he was right next to Ricky, Alex without hesitation immediately put his fist up to make Ricky bounce and fall.
It was so sudden that Ricky couldn’t get away with it and could only be surprised as well as the girl he was with. The girl’s screams caught everyone’s attention until Drake and the others realized Alex was no longer with them. They ran towards the source of the screams, while Ricky was very upset while holding the corner of his broken and bloodied lips.
“ What the hell are you doing? Who the hell are you?! Said an annoyed Ricky with piercing eyes and a face expression ready to kill.
“Honey, are you okay?” asked the girl who worried about Ricky and helped Ricky to stand up.
Hearing the girl’s call to Ricky makes Alex even more angry. An angry Alex pulled Ricky’s collar and hit Ricky several times. Ricky, who was also emotionally hooked and couldn’t keep quiet, continued to push Alex and then retaliated against Alex.
The atmosphere gets heated, and they keep hitting each other, while the girl who’s with Ricky can only watch them fight with a frightened face. People who heard the noise started watching the fight and there were a few others who started filming the fight.
Drake and Jasper pull Alex over and try to break up the fight. Drake tries to restrain Alex with all his strength, but Alex is so strong that Jasper must also help until Alex can contain his anger and calm down a little.
“Who are you?! Why did you suddenly come and beat me up? I don’t even recognize you.” Ricky said.
“What?! Now you pretend you don’t recognize me? Is it because you’re with your cheating so you’re pretending not to recognize me to cover up your foul behavior?!” said Alex with great annoyance and made everyone wonder what Alex was saying.
“ Wait, aren’t you Ruby’s classmate? Why did you attack me like this?” asked Ricky after remembering Alex when they were met by Ruby.
“ Are you still asking? Hey, don’t you have a heart at all?! How can you betray Ruby behind her like this when Ruby loves you so much?!” said Alex while yelling at Ricky.
But Ricky doesn’t feel guilty at all, instead he looks at Alex with a confused stare as if he doesn’t know what Alex is saying. Even the girl who keeps standing next to Ricky looks at Alex with a strange stare as if she’s confused but looks more like they’re staring at Alex like they’re looking at a freak.
“ wait, what do you mean? I betrayed Ruby? I don’t understand what you’re saying, why did I betray Ruby? What did I do until you said I betrayed my sister? Don’t you think Ruby and I are dating?” said Ricky while staring at Alex.
“Yes, of course. You’re alone with a girl like this,you are really a jerk?” said Alex, but Alex stopped talking.
Alex’s eyes were still wide open, and he looked at Ricky. Alex then realizes Ricky’s saying that Ruby is his sister. As if to clarify again, Alex looked at Ricky and gestured his body as if to ask Ricky what he was thinking was true, and Ricky answered it with a nod of the head.
Alex sighs as if he’s feeling relieved, but he feels he’s been duped by Ruby. Alex tries to remember again, but after she thinks Ruby never said in person that she and Ricky were dating. Ruby just said that she and Ricky loved each other.
Ruby never said anything, and she didn’t cheat Alex on purpose either, but it was Alex who summed it all up on his own and created his scenario in his mind. Even Helena, who heard Ricky’s words was surprised because just like Alex, Helena summed it all up herself.
“Then, where is Ruby now?” asked Alex, and Ricky’s face turned somber and sultry.
“ Ruby, she’s hospitalized. She's in a terrible condition and the only thing that can cure her is a spinal cord donor. But you know it’s very difficult to get a donor.” Ricky said with a sultry stare and a trembling voice.
Hearing Ricky’s words, Alex immediately ran fast. There was nothing Alex could think about other than that he wanted to see Ruby. The longing he’s been suppressing today has been so unbearable. Alex keeps running regardless of the surroundings, he just wants to see Ruby right away.
Upon arrival at the hospital, Alex immediately ran around the hospital. With his breath in his breath, Alex kept running for Ruby until he saw Ruby sitting in the park. Alex stopped running, he stood staring at Ruby while adjusting her breath. Then Alex walked up to Ruby.
Ruby, who could feel someone walking close and then turned around, looked shocked at the sight of Alex until her eyes were wide open. They both fell silent and just looked at each other. Both their eyes glow and look a little sultry. There may be a lot of things they want to say right now, but there’s not a word they can say and can only stare at each other for a moment.
