It all started at that time and before they knew it, they already fell in love with each other.
There were times that Alex would get jealous as Nile's attention would now be fully offered to Jellan, however Nile would always assure him that he won't be leaving.
After that, during their fourth year of high school, the three became even closer. Jellan also no longer hangs out with her fake friends as she felt genuinely happy with just being on Nile's side.
Alex had also lowered the frequency of his absences and cutting of classes. However, he still has that habit of visiting the bars to have some fun.
They were genuinely happy at that time, not until her father, the mayor, knew of their relationship. She did not know what exactly happened but weeks after her father knew of their relationship, Nile suddenly went missing.
