Chapter 42
Cinthea is with her friend, holding her hand, and is fighting to keep the tears at bay. Yuna was covered with bandages, from head to toe. Only her eyes, mouth and nose was left open.
Snow stood at the window with her hands folded behind her back, watching the world, deep in thought.
"It really bothers you that maybe one day, I'll be the one that she wakes up next to in the morning, that my ring will be on her finger, and not yours. And that maybe, just maybe, she'll love me, instead of you."
The words kept repeating in her head, over and over again. Could that really happen? Could she really love him instead of Noctis? Does she even love Noctis to begin with? She knows her feelings towards Noctis is strong, but could it be that strong? Why is she even questioning this? She was so sure in the beginning, could it be that she might fall in love with Nate?
No, never. Her feelings for Noctis is real, and that will never change, and if she loves Noctis, then so be it.
Snow didn't realise that one of her friends was talking to her, when a ball hit her square in the head.
"Hey! What the h.e.l.l?" Snow exclaimed whirling around. Thea has a playful expression on her face, so it is evident that she is bored, Snow did not know why, as one of their closest friends was in a coma.
"Well you wouldn't have been hit if you'd just pay attention." Thea said, standing to get the ball.
Snow sighed before speaking.
"I'm sorry, what did you say?"
Thea shook her head and went to sit back down next to Thea, who hasn't looked up from her book yet.
"No, no, no, I'm not repeating things, this is not a dress rehearsal, you should learn to listen the first time." Thea said, going back to throwing the ball against the wall.
Snow rolled her eyes. Thea usually did that when she was either in a bad mood, or in a very irritating playful mood.

"I'm going to get some coffee." Snow announced, only then did Fay look up from her book.
"I think I am going to accompany you, if
"So what is it going on with you?" Fay asked when they reached the coffee shop across the road.
"I don't know what your talking about." Snow laughed nervously, to which Fay raised her brow.
"I think you do, you just don't want to tell me."
"That's not true." Snow laughed.
They reached the counter and ordered the coffee they wanted, they also got their friends coffee, thinking they might need it.
"So? What is it?" Fay asked again, taking a sip from her coffee. They went to sit down at the window seats.
"Did you only come along to interrogate me?" Snow asked with a small smile.
"No, I came along because you would have been lonely, and I only asked because your my friend, and other than Thea, who is only interested in that stupid ball of hers, and Cinthea who is too busy keeping her tears away, I actually pay attention to what is going on around me." Fay explained, but when Snow didn't answer, she continued, "Does it have something to do with that handsome, young fellow that came out of your room this morning?
Snow was currently looking down at her coffee, going along the edge in circles, when her head snapped up at Fay's words.
"How did you...? Did he...? Did you...?" Snow stumbled, before shaking her head as if to clear the shock, "Did you see him go into my room this morning?"
"No, unfortunately not, but I must ask, what happend that his clothes was ruffled like that?" Fay asked again. Snow lowered her eyes, before answering.
"Noctis walked in when he was there."
Fay's eyes widened, before a smile crept up her face.
"Bet that went really well."
"Tell me about it." Snow mumbled, "what made it worse was Nate stood really close to me, making it look like he was about to kiss me."
At that moment Fay took a sip from her coffee, so when Snow finished her sentence, it resulted her to choke on it, almost spitting it back in her cup.
"Are you okay?" Snow asked, concerned, to which Fay just waved her question away. She was too busy coughing to really answer. When she got the cough under control again, she spoke.
"What was he doing that close to you?" Fay asked, almost taking another sip, but before the cup met her lips, she sat it back down, and pushed it away.
Snow furrowed her brows at the display, but didn't say anything about it.
"I don't know exactly, we were arguing about whether or not Yuna would make it, and then... well... you know." Snow tried explaining, but only ended up blus.h.i.+ng.
"Right. So let me guess on that moment Noctis came in, and he must've saw the two of you, got jealous, and attacked this Nate guy, am I right?"
"Yes." Snow sighed.
"And you did not move away because...?"
"I don't know, I think apart of me didn't want to move."
Fay gaped at Snow. She can't believe what Snow is saying.
"Now that's why I didn't drink my coffee. I got a feeling I might want to keep away from it just until we're done with conversation, for my sake and for yours."
Snow laughed a little. Her friend can really have a sense of humour when the time is right.
"Do you have feelings for Nate?" Fay asked Snow directly.
"No, of course not. My hart belongs to Noctis, you know that."
"Yes, I thought I knew that, but based on the recent events, I'm proved wrong."
"No, no." Snow said quickly, shaking her head. Fay eyed her a moment before speaking.
"Well alright, if you say so, but just know, if you want to talk, I'm always here."
Snow only nodded, before both of them stood up and walked back to the hospital.
