[ Fleur's POV ]

I praised myself as lucky to be surrounded by the people I loved. I felt happy during the day, but at night dark thoughts would keep me awake. Nightmares plague me frequently. I started seeing a psychologist again. She told me that it was normal and advised me to be active and keep myself busy, so that's what I have been trying to do.

"Fleur?" Selina waved her hand in front of my face.

"What Seli?"

"I have been asking you if you want to go out shopping, where were you with your thoughts?"

"I was thinking about how lucky I am to have a best friend like you," I cooed and wrapped my arms around her.

"I have Marco, and you have Leandro, let's not cheat on them baby," she chuckled, making me slap her arm with a grin.

"How is Marco? Why doesn't he come over to hang out with us?" I asked, realizing it had been ages since I had seen him.

Selina fidgeted with her nails instead of replying.

"What are you not telling me?" I frowned.

"Fleur, we are taking a break," she mumbled.

"What?" I gasped. "What happened?"

"We were fighting a lot."

"But why?"

"He says I don't make time for our relationship," she sighed.

"Is this because of me?" I questioned. She had been spending so much time with me recently.

"No, Fleur," she replied, but I knew she was lying to protect me.

"Selina, I'm your best friend. Don't you dare lie to me!"

"Fleur, it's not your fault. He needs to understand that I want to spend time with you. I thought I lost you and though I never gave up hope, there were moments that...that, oh god," Selina's voice broke as she spoke. Her eyes were watery.

Her confession brought tears to my eyes. I had put my family and loved ones through hell these past months. They had sacrificed so much for me and the least I could do now was to make them happy. I was going to do everything in my power to bring Selina and Marco back together. It was my turn to take care of my best friend, of my loved ones.

"Selina, I'm so sorry for putting you and my family through-"

Selina cut me off midsentence. "Fleur, please don't apologize because it's not your fault. I want you to be happy from now onwards."

"And I want you to be happy Seli. You have done so much for me, and I cannot ask more of you. You are not only my best friend, but you are also my sister. I love you so much," I told her as tears sprang to my eyes.

Selina pulled me into a tight embrace. "You are such a lesbian," she mumbled in my hair.

I giggled and pressed a kiss on her cheek. "I will become a lesbian just for you babe."

Selina rolled her eyes in a dramatic way and released me from the hug. "Marco and I might be taking a break, but don't get your hopes up okay?"

We squabbled like two silly children, teasing each other and laughing our heads off. I had missed this more than words can express.

A sudden knock on my door made us stop. "Come in," I said, containing my giggles as Selina smirked at me.

"Fleur, Leandro is here to see you," Carla informed us.

"Let him come up."

Leandro entered my room, and a smile curved his lips as he saw us sitting on my bed, snickering like two naughty children.

"Hello, my beautiful girls!"

He hugged us both and gave Selina a kiss on the cheek and pecked my forehead.

"I think it's my cue to leave," Selina grinned, winking at us.

"Please stay," Leandro said like he had read my mind.

"We can go to the cinema together. It's Halloween so let's watch a scary movie?" I suggested.

"How about a comedy instead?" Leandro implied.

"Wait, don't say you are scared of horror films?" Selina gasped and then burst out into a fit of laughter.

"I-I'm not s-scared," he mumbled, but his expression screamed the opposite.

I couldn't help but feel giggly at the fact that a muscular man like Leandro was scared of horror movies.

"Don't worry; you got two girls willing to hold your hand," Selina teased him with a cheeky wink.

When we left the cinema that evening, his face was pale as death. Selina snapped a picture of him to hold over his head forever. It had been an unforgettable and fun night!
