357 Love Confessions? (1/2)

Xiu suddenly held her hands and push her a little to stand up. It scared the hell out of Nora as she watched Xiu walking away from her. Was she really going to leave? Nora's heart clenched in her chest. It was more than just painful seeing Xiu turning her back on her. Her silence was killing her. Nora couldn't take this. Her soul felt like leaving her body.

But she didn't even have the courage to hold Xiu back. Or even call her back.

'I guess I really messed this one up...' she thought to herself bitterly with a fresh stream of hot tears rolling down her cheeks.

Despodendantly, hopelessly, and sorrowfully Nora covered her face with her hands.

Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up.

Her brows creased up. Her vision was blurry because of tears, she rubbed her eyes and looked at Xiu again.

Xiu has now dressed up in a fresh set of clothes. Her messy hair was now tied in a high bun neatly. That pair of skinny jeans and a tank top with a leather jacket looked really good on her figure. Even the pair of combat boots surprised Nora since this was an attire she rarely saw her best friend in.

And after surprise came to the shock as she noticed the thing in Xiu's hand.

The infamous...

Baseball bat!

Why Nora thought called it 'infamous baseball bat'? Because it was customized with Xiu's name written on it in beautiful calligraphy.

”Wh-What are you going to do?” Nora asked feeling uncertain of what Xiu was planning. It wasn't easy to read Xiu's mind when she gave that blank expression.

Xiu cracked her knuckles and smiled slyly at her best friend, ”The idea is still the same... Let's beat the crap out of the idiot who made my sister cry!”

Nora gaped at her Xiu with her eyes staring wide at her in disbelief. Her lips were trembling as looked at Xiu with a sparkle in her eyes now. ”Xiu... You don't hate me?”

Xiu rubbed her head and smiled gently. ”Silly girl, I told you. Xiu can never hate you. No matter what you do, Xiu still loves you very much. You call me a sister. You said it yourself we are like soul sisters. We don't need blood to define our bond. It's stronger than anyone. And sisters don't turn their back on each other. EVER!”

”Xiu...”

”My dear Nora, how can you even think that I can hate you? Yes, you did a mistake. But so what? Everyone does it. We are only human. Although that's not a very good excuse, still I believe that as long as a person has guilt in his heart, he's still worth saving. I have seen one of the cruelest people who don't even feel remorse for their wrongdoings. As for you, you only thought of doing something bad and you're killing yourself over that. How can I hate you when all you did was what any scared, lonely, depressed and pregnant 21 years old would do?”

”Xiu...” Nora tried to blink her tears away looking at her best friend's sincerest expression.

Nora shook her head frantically. ”I'd never let you fall. My Xiu'er is still the strongest for me. Because my Xiu'er is my biggest strength. I can only be reckless because I know you're there to hold me. Save me. Stand with me.”

Xiu grinned at her through the haze of tears. ”That sounds like a love confession but I am so up for it right now.”

Nora chuckled at her reaction. ”Usually you don't like such heart-to-heart confessions.”
