My Heart only Beats for You

Natalie tiptoed towards the source of the noise and realized that it came from Selina's room.

It was the sound of Selina's suppressed sobs. She sounded heartbroken.

Natalie stood there stunned, and at a loss for what to do.

Although she had not known Selina for long, she could see that she was obviously a lively and outgoing girl. Why would she be crying like that in the middle of the night?

Natalie stood frozen at the spot, not knowing whether she should leave or not.

She was not that close with Selina yet; at least not close enough to ask about personal and private matters.

But if she left-

She would be worried about her.

After hesitating for a long time, Natalie finally made up her mind and gently knocked on Selina's door.

The sobbing came to an abrupt stop.

After a while, Selina swung the door open.

She was visibly surprised to see Natalie standing outside her door.

"What's up, Natalie?" Her lips curled into a smile.

If it weren't for Selina's bloodshot and swollen eyes, Natalie would have really thought that she had just hallucinated hearing the cries.

"Do you mind if I come in?" Natalie gestured to Selina's room.

She knew something was troubling Selina.

It would be better if Selina had someone to talk to.

After hesitating for a moment, Selina nodded. "Sure, please come in."

Natalie sat on the bed and made a bit of small talk.

"Natalie, aren't you supposed to be asleep at this hour? Why are you in such a good mood for a chat?" Selina chuckled.

Natalie could tell that Selina was faking that laugh.
