It's All About Him

There was a soft knock on the door and Victoria straightened up in bed.

"Go away," her voice was hoarse from too much sniffing and sobbing.

"Open the door, Victoria. Dad's been worried. You came home and went straight to your room without even saying hello. Is everything alright?"

"Yes, everything's alright, James," Victoria sighed.

"Good to hear that. Did you have dinner yet?"

"Not hungry."

James took a deep breath, "Victoria, please, open the door."

Without any hesitation, Victoria jumped out of her bed and unlocked the door.

"You, OK?" James pushed inside and asked Victoria.

Victoria rolled her eyes, "I've told you that I am OK."

James chuckled. "Hey, I know you've been crying. Besides your voice sounds hoarse, your eyes turn red too, Victoria, my lovely sister," said James and brought Victoria to his embrace.

"Get off, James."

"Need someone to talk to?" offered James.

Victoria hung her head. "My crush suddenly fainted while we were acting for our drama on next month. After a half hour later, he didn't awake. So the teacher brought him to the hospital. At there, the doctor told us that h-his tumour---" Victoria stammered and burst into tears.

"Ssh-ssh. He has tumour? What happened with his tumour?" asked James.

"I just heard that his tumour spread out."

James patted her shoulder. "Okay, Victoria, you don't have to cry like this, do you? Your classmate as known as your crush need your benediction not your tears. And also I don't want to have a crybaby-sister like this. Where is your big smile which shows your teeth?"

Victoria rolled her eyes and smile weakly. "Yeah whatever you call it. And thanks for your advice, Bro."

"Anyway, it's kinda funny seeing you like this, to be honest. Crying for someone who you have a crush on-- well your classmate actually. Just like a little-heartbroken-girl," James laughed.

Victoria scolded him, "Shut up!"

On the next day, Victoria had an info about her crush. And she was very happy when heard that her crush succeed on his surgery yesterday. She texted James quickly.


To: James

For your information, my cru-- classmate succeed on his surgery! What a good news! By the way, thanks for being there when I need you to express my feeling.


Yeah, as your prediction, that news made Victoria's day. No more teardrops from her beautiful eyes.
