Heheroine And My Villainess - Chapter 7

HE/HEROINE AND MY VILLAINESS

(HEAR ME SAY KEEP WALKING FORWARD AND DON’T LOOK BACK)

“But it is a good opportunity, maybe I could search for Yerre there! Yes! Yes, it’s good. Yerre wait for me…” I mumbled happily forgetting all my frustration upon thinking of Yerre,

‘She got me not caring about what happened to myself, as long as she is safe and with me’

Ten days from now, there will be a ball for the crown prince,

“According to the story…” I trailed off.

‘ugh…that guy has a special relationship with this girl’ I thought disgustingly.

“Disgusting, I can’t even…I can’t… a boy? with me? No!!!” I mumbled. “No worries, I won’t meet him I’ll search for Yerre instead”

‘On the story, this ball party, Cathlen and the prince will have an alone moment to blossom their love for each other’ I shuddered at the thought.

“Ugh…let’s continue” I wrote.

‘And then Vendia, oh yes, Vendia the villain of this story, she saw them. Felt jealous, and planned to vanish Cathlen from the prince’s heart and view’ I shivered, someone would be after me then.

“But” I sighed. “It seems like I’ll be meeting the villain here. It would be better if I meet her myself without the prince, this is going to be fun” I smirked.

“Yerre just wait…I will find you” I said anxiously thinking about my best friend’s Yerre.

“Alda…” I voice sobbed.

“Yerre?”

I turned around and looked at the big window when I heard her. Yerre

“My lady is there something wrong?”

“No, it’s nothing” I nodded and continued cleaning my room,

‘Yerre?’ I thought again biting my lip.

“Yerre…I am sorry Just wait for me please…don’t worry I will find you…Yerre…” I mumbled, hoping to reassure her and myself as well.

‘She’s so fragile and very vulnerable’

(FLASHBACK)

‘Huh? Is that Yerre?’ I wondered, strolling at the playground,

“It is Yerre” I ran after her anxiously.

“Yerre! Hey! What are you guys doing?” I shouted in rage at the boys who kept on stomping Yerre’s small and chubby body,

I was eight years old back then and Yerre was six years old, I ran after them angrily. Yerre held my left wrist before I could go.

“Alda… no… I’m fine…” she hiccupped.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN FINE?! CAN’T YOU SEE? YOUR INJURED!”

“Alda please…please don’t follow them anymore…please…” Yerre pleaded, sobbing.

“Yerre…” I bent down and helped her up. I sat her on the bench close to the big tree.

“Alda Why is your body shaking?” she asked.

‘I’m mad’ I hugged her close to me and closed my eyes effectively calming down.

“Yerre listen to me okay?” She nodded.

“Next time when someone hurts you. Call for me, okay?”

“Okay…I’m sorry Alda…”

‘Don’t apologize it’s not your fault…why do you have to be so fragile?’

“Why are you out here alone in the park again?” I asked slowly to, then I saw her sad expression from then on I knew why.

*deep sigh*

“Come here, ” I said opening my arms for her… she put her head on my shoulder and cried. I wrapped my arms around her in a tight hug.

“They’re fighting again, your dad hurt your mother again. So you ran here. Am I right?” I said she nodded, crying and clutching me tightly.

“You don’t have to be scared okay?” I said, caressing her back gently, comforting her, and letting her know that she is safe here with me.

“Yerre, Stop going to this park again, okay? Go straight to our house and ask for me. I will be there for you okay? I will always be here for you to protect you and to stay with you” I said to her and she nods still crying.

“You promise?” She mumbles crying,

“Yes, I promise I will always protect you and be there for you” I promised and she nods gladly.

“Don’t cry, I told you my weakness is seeing you cry and hurt right?” I said.

She raised her head looking up at me with those teary eyes while we hugged, I broke our hug and wiped her tears away,

“I won’t cry anymore for Alda…” she sobbed a bit but giggled and brightly smiled eventually.

I kissed her forehead and we hugged again.

-Two months later-

“Yerre! ”I ran towards her panting from running so much, Yerre looked at me with a painful expression her whole body was shaking and trembling as she cried. I hugged her,

“Yerre thank god, you’re okay…” I sighed in relief.

“Alda… m-my mother and f-father are… inside our house… o-our house…is on fire… Alda… I’m scared…,” Yerre said shakily in-between hiccups.

I hug her tight as I feel hurt and feel pity for her so much.

“Yerre…” I didn’t know what to say. I hugged her tight and assured her that everything will be fine.

“The fireman is here,” The people said. Two firemen exited the fire, carrying the two burned bodies.

“Al! Don’t let Yerre see this” Mother shouts at me in terror,

“It’s my mothe-”

I hugged her tight and held her head tightly hearing my mother’s instruction,

“Alda?” Yerre called probably wondering why she won’t let her see her parents.

“Yerre…it’s okay, your mother and father are out now they’re inside the ambulance now,”

I said burdened with sadness and pain for my best friend. What would happen to her? How will she live her life now?

“Alda? Why are you shaking?” Yerre called worried for her best friend trembling and shaking so much while crying.

I tried to compose myself,

“Yerre… everything will be fine” I said silently scared that my voice would make her cry.

I hugged her tight trying to be brave in front of her best friend, innocently nodding and hugging her crying.

“Thank you Alda…for being here with me…”Yerre mumbles in relief.

“Of course, I am your best friend. I can’t leave you…I can’t… you’re too special to me…more than you think Yerre…” I sobbed silently mumbling my last words weakly.

Thankfully, she didn’t hear my last words.

After that tragic incident, Yerre was having a hard time accepting what happened, every night she had nightmares crying. Though she was never alone in her sufferings and sorrows. She faces it with her only best friend who understands her and treasures her like a sister. Someone who stays with her and helps her in many ways she can. She never leaves her side. She always visits her every day and even stays overnight at her aunt’s house. Who took Yerre in as her child after the accident.

Alda always stays with her and sleeps with Yerre every day and every night hugging her reassuring her that she is safe and that she is going to protect her.

Until years have passed. Alda was 19 and Yerre was 17 years old. Yerre eventually moved on from the past with help from the people who love her truly and made her special.

“Alda!” Yerre calls upon seeing Alda walking to the street heading towards her residence so they can go to school together they’re now high-school and college students.

Yerre smiles brightly,

“Yerre…” Alda mumbled happily and Yerre ran towards her, jumped on her, and hugged her tight.

“I miss you!!!” Yerre said so glad and happy,

‘ah…she is so heavy…those chubby and fats hahaha but I still love her’ I thought struggling a bit,

Alda hugs her back tightly, drowning her face into Yerre left neck sniffing Yerre lavender scent,

“I miss you too,” Alda replied so glad to see her best friend so happy and not crying anymore.

(FLASHBACK END)

‘Yerre…you must be scared right now I know you’re looking for me but…. I… Yerre…’ I looked at the big window with a painful expression, crumpling the paper on my hand in anger.

“Don’t worry, when I get a hold of that lamp, I will wish for it to find you immediately. Yerre just wait for me…” I mumbled determined as I think of my best friend Yerre.
