In the end, I did not utter a single word, and both of us went back to Natalie’s house without saying a word.

Natalie approached us as soon as we entered the door, and she smiled when she saw that I had returned with Yuval. But her smile froze on her face the moment she saw the clothes that I was wearing.

 

I was wearing the shirt that Michael had worn yesterday. Natalie was bound to remember that because Michael had always been the center of attention.

“You’re back, Anna.”

Natalie held my hand and her expression turned a little awkward.

 

“I’m back. Are you alright, Natalie? Does your face still hurt?”

Although one night had passed, Natalie’s face was still swollen and bruised. Even the corner of her mouth was swollen with traces of purple and blue.

It was despicable of John and that woman to do this to her.

 

“I’m fine, and I’m much better now. I’m sorry you got dragged into this mess. Your face wouldn’t be like this if it weren’t because of me. It’s all my fault, Anna.”

Then, Natalie gave me a hug and looked at me apologetically.

 

“It’s okay. We’re good friends, aren’t we? Friends stand by each other in time of need. I couldn’t just watch while you were being bullied.”
