There

were two best friends

named Candice and Lorenzo who
lived with their parents in the
same street of Nashville. They are
neighbors; they come visit each
other every day after school. One
day Candice promised Lorenzo
that she will not leave Lorenzo
alone because Lorenzo is always
bullied in school by other big
boys. Lorenzo is weak because of
his heart disease, he has this
difficulty in breathing and when
the big boys bullys Lorenzo,
Candice always arrive on time to
save him from the bullies, she is

like Lorenzos hero. Thats how

they became best friends.

Lorenzo

is hiding something
very personal, i.e., he has a crush
on Candice but the problem is
Candice doesnt have the same
feelings with Lorenzo. For her,
Lorenzo is just her boy best
friend. They grew up together
until
they
became
college
students and the time passed
swiftly Then came one day
Candice, are you ready for your
flight? asked Candices mother
Tita Collie. Yes mother! said
Candice. Candice was leaving
that day to study medicine in the
States. She didnt say anything to
Lorenzo because she is afraid to

tell him and hurt his feelings

because Candice has now special
feelings for Lorenzo. They arrived
at the airport on time before her
flight will commence.

On

the other hand, Lorenzo is

preparing
for
revealing
his
feelings to Candice. When he
arrived at their house he saw
their car is gone, and then
someone said, What are you
doing here Lorenzo? asked Yaya
Carline. I will reveal my feelings
to Candice. Shhh be quiet, said
Lorenzo. What! Uhmmm Im
sorry Lorenzo, Candice just left for
her flight to USA to study. Didnt
you know? said Yaya Carline.
What?!
shouted
Lorenzo.

Lorenzo went home with a broken

heart. She didnt say anything.
How could she?! Lorenzo said to
himself.

After

3 days, Lorenzo decided

to go to the States for Candice.
He will surprise her and ask her to
be his girlfriend even if he knows
Candice doesnt have special
feelings for him and to ask her
why did she leave him behind and
broke her promise. Then when
Lorenzo arrived at Candices
house in States (he knows the
address because Yaya Carline
gave it), he saw flowers and
people dressed in black. He then

entered the house to know why,

then he saw Candices dead body,
he started crying Why?! he
shouted.

Tita

Collie rushed to comfort

Lorenzo. She then explained to
Lorenzo
how
it
happened.
Lorenzo Im sorry, Candice was
just making a kind of medicine
that cures all kinds of diseases
even cancer and also to cure your
disease, when the electricity went
off, she started to walk to the
generator to make it run so she
can
continue
her
work.
Unfortunately, she tripped over a

chair and accidentally poured the

muriatic acid she was holding on
top of her head which caused her
instant death. The police showed
me the video from the CCTV of
the laboratory. said Tita Collie.

After

a while, Tita Collie

handed him a note from Candice.
It was scribbled by Candice when
she was in the plane and it says:
Dear Lorenzo,
Im sorry best friend for leaving
you without saying anything to
you, and I know that I broke my
promise.
Im sorry I was just
afraid to hurt your feelings and

mine too. The truth is, I had a

crush on you since we were in
high school. And as the time we
were
always
together,
that
feelings grew I think Im in love
with you! I love you Lorenzo! I
just dont know how to tell it to
you.
Love,
Candice

With

a heavy heart, Lorenzo

whispered softly I love you too
Candice."
