    Part Three:



    DISCLAIMER: This is a purely fictional story. Any similarities or resemblances to real life events are purely coincidental. ;)

    Usual Characters:

    Alex - An apparent nice and friendly guy, but there seems to be a side to him not known to others... yet.

    Carol - An apparent innocent and naive girl, but is actually more matured in her thinking then she appears.

    Janice - Carol's good friend. Seems to be blur most of the time, and actually is. But she is firm about her own likes and dislikes.

    Ben - An admirer of Carol's. Is fiercely loyal and faithful, and will always be there whenever his friends need help, but is often unappreciated and left out at times.

    Pat - Carol's good friend. Is extremely friendly and approachable. Tries to bond her friends together. Her actions and words are at times easily misunderstood, but she's reasonable and forgiving enough to resolve the misunderstandings.

    Suzie - Carol's good friend. Also friendly and approachable. Tends to be loud and bossy, but usually gets her way with people because she doesn't have ill intentions at all.

    Jay - On good terms with generally everyone and is well respected by his friends as he is several years older in age and thus more matured and tends to have an objective outlook on events.

    Jacky - An IT whiz. Fond of experimenting with various software, exploiting bugs and loopholes in security, which ends up in him doing things that might not always be legal.

    Wake - [Modeled after myself, obviously] A deep and quiet person who tends to keep things to himself as far as possible. Is usually detached from various events as much as possible, but will be observing them silently at one side.

    Leann - Carol's good friend also. Tends to be forgetful. Prioritises her friends over self most of the times. Appears to be nonchalant about whatever events that happen, but is actually more inquisitive and observant than what she lets on.

    Robert ñ Wake and Benís good buddy. Acts stupid most of the time and is usually is. Tries to be goofy and cheerful to lighten up the situation.

    Zack ñ Buddies with Wake, Ben and Robert. Appears to be quiet and aloof, but he cares more about his friends than he shows.



    New Character:

    None as of yet.

    Extra characters: i'll add them as when i like, but i'll roughly describe them when i add them.

    Wake, sensing something did not seem right, decided to discuss with Leann, Janice and Ben after realising that Carol knew about what had transpired within the past few months. There, they came to a decision to go down to Carol's place to see if she was truly alright. Leann and Wake went down as they stayed the nearest, and Wake felt responsible for breaking the news to Carol.



    Outside her doorsteps, the both of them waited for Carol to open her gates, but she refused to acknowledge their presence initially. So they waited. Two waited for her to open up, while one waited for the two to leave. Eventually, their patience paid off and Carol relented, coming down with them to the void deck to have a little chat.



    "Who knows about this?"



    "Only those involved knows..."



    ...



    Slowly, she began to ask more questions and then she cried, for a long time while Wake and Leann watched on, shivering in the chilly wind.



    "I still want to continue on with the relationship." she said, wiping her tears away.



    "HUH?!" Wake exclaimed.



    Leann gave Wake a glare, and said, "It's your own decision to carry on with it or not. But our consensus is that you should break up with him."



    "Yeah, break up with him please." Wake injected.



    "Why must break?" Carol retorted.



    "W-Why? Must I still say a reason?" Wake said.



    "Isn't it more than obvious enough?" he thought to himself.



    He relented, and said, "Okay, obviously all of us don't want to see you together with someone like him anymore. You deserves someone better than that. But, if you still want to carry on with him, by all means, go ahead. But we'll be there for you whenever you need us."



    "Thanks." she smiled.



    .....





    After chatting for a short while more, Leann and Wake sent her home and went on their way home.



    Fatigued, Wake dozed off soon after he updated Janice and Ben about what happened, and he woke up only about 10 to 11 hours later to find a sms waiting for him.



    "It's a fact that i've been a jerk to say things to them behind her back ..."



    blah blah.



    "What the hell. Say so much to me for what." Wake thought.



    Drowsily, Wake switched on his laptop and the moment he signed in, Alex initiated a conversation.



    Alex: "Hey, you want us to break, huh?"



    Alex: "Did you receive my sms?"



    Wake: "..."



    Wake: "Yeah, to both questions."



    Wake: "But it's not my intentions that matters. It's her own decision that matters. I'm not going to influence her."



    Alex: "Yeah, thanks."



    Wake then noticed that Alex was appearing offline throughout the conversation.



    Wake heaved a sigh of relief. Now at least most of it are out in the open, and they did not have to keep on worrying about what to do next.



    "Right now," Wake thought to himself, "there's only one more part to this story that's still waiting for that stupid guy to write."
