Again

When Renie left James stayed out for a moment then decided to go back to his room. When he got up DJ was nowhere to be seen. James thought he was alone. Sitting down on the bed he shed a tear.

James: ( Renie…, please give me a chance. Please understand me.) (Looks outside the window* Please give me some time, please. (Bow his head down* I don't deserve you Renie. ( tears running on his chin* I am sorry Renie.

At that time DJ and Kevin entered the room, they saw James crying and went up to him.

Kevin: Yo dude, you alright?

DJ: Bro are you actually crying?

James did not look up or either respond to them.

Kevin: James since when do you cry?

DJ: Yo, James what has gotten into you? Man up. (Shakes him*

James: Do you guys ever cry?

DJ: Of course we do but James you never cried like that before. You are mostly on the open side. So why are you crying like that?

Kevin: Didn't you go out to get some fresh air?

James: I did, and she was there.

DJ: Renie?

Kevin: Shouldn't you be happy after seeing her? Why are you crying?

James: She is a woman now. (His heart pained him when he said those*

James did not have the courage to lift his head up.

James: She said I don't matter to her.

DJ: She confronted you?

Kevin: Can you just explain what happened?

DJ sat down on the chair and Kevin stay on his feet, while James was telling them what happened.

James: I could see the pain in her heart when she was saying those words. Though I could feel that she was not mad at me. I could tell at this moment how she has always been better than me. She was straight forward telling what is on heart "Do you know how many times I thought you could have been my boyfriend?". She was always the one taking initiative just because I am indecisive. I am not crying because she said that. I feel unworthy of her love. How could I ever be the one to call her mine? I am not worth her tears.

DJ: You are being such an idiot right now.

Kevin: (Hits DJ's shoulder* Dude, the heck?

DJ: He is being a fool. She told him already that she loves him and only him. Kevin, I have also been rejected by Renie because of this dude. Jason, also got rejected because she had eyes for him and only him. She is telling you right now "I am waiting for you to come around". Man you're lucky you have a beautiful girl waiting for you. Ready to take you in her home, and call you her husband. She has been waiting for you for 9 years. Why can't you just go and take her hand already? She doesn't need you to provide for her, neither to care about anything. James, if you really love Renie then just go ahead.

James: What you just said is the reason why I can't be with her. The only word I can use to define this woman is perfect. I can't provide for her, I can't give her a home. I can't be the one by her side.

Kevin: James, she chose you. She said you were the one for her when she was just a teen, you guys had nothing. James she doesn't need you to provide for her.

DJ: I feel like beating you up. James, could you just focus on loving her? She doesn't care about your wealth but you care about it so~ much. If you want to deserve her, don't be self centered. The relationship should not be about you but her. Could you even tell us why you like her?

James: Because she is different, she is kind, happy, joyous. She is like a diamond in nature. The only one that stands out among all.

Kevin: Do you really think that sitting here with your face full of tears will change the way she sees you in her heart?

DJ: Bro, man up and ask her out.

James: hm…

DJ: ( annoyed and ready to jump James* I am gonna beat this guy.

Kevin: (Stops him* Yo, calm down.

On Renie' side

Renie went home. When she arrived at her house she went directly to her bedroom. She put her things down then sat down on her bed. She looked outside of the window, then closed her eyes for a second. When open her eyes she said:

Renie: It's always like that. I tried my best to be a better person for him, but this DUDE. Let me just stop thinking about it. (Takes her phone* I forgot to say goodbye to Lorant and his family. Oh no.

Renie called Lorant.

Lorant: [Bae where are you the meeting just ended.
