PRESENT

Seeing him standing in front of my door is the last thing I want right now, but there he is.

"What do you want? I told you I have nothing to do with you anymore." I can't even bring myself to look at him.

"I heard you are dating your boss now. Is that true?" He asks.

"Why would you like to know? We are now strangers, so my relationships have nothing to do with you. This is the last time I'll tell you this," I move closer to him, finally looking at him, "Never ever again come to this apartment."

I open the door to enter and Ken blocks my path. As he grabs my arm, a hand appears and holds onto his. I look up to see Nathan with a stern expression glaring at him. He isn't holding my hand but I can almost feel him squeezing Ken's wrist.

"Let go, or you will regret it", he says angrily. I don't think I have ever seen that expression on his face before.

"Did you call your boyfriend to fight me?" he says hissing at Nathan. "This is between the both of us and has nothing to do with you, so I suggest you let go of my hand", he says trying to push him off.

I wriggle my hand out of his grip and glare at him.

"I have nothing to say to you so I would appreciate it if you stop harassing me and leave before I report you for trespassing" I say giving him an irritated look.

His stare switches rapidly between me and Nathan for a while before he leaves reluctantly. I turn to Nathan now to tell him to leave.

"How and why are you here at my house?" I ask as the realization hits that I didn't call him over. How did he get here and at that moment?

"I noticed how distracted you've been since lunch, so I got worried and came to see you. I tried calling but got no answer so I came up to check and heard the both of you. It seemed like I had to step in and help a bit, I hope I didn't overstep"

"Thanks for helping but you didn't need to. I apologize for not picking up your calls, my phone has been on silent mode. Was there another reason why you wanted to see me?" I ask matter-of-factly. I'm am not interested in my boss being involved with my private life.

"Not particularly, was just worried." He says under his breath.

"Thank you for helping. If there's nothing else, I'll be going in. Have a safe trip home." I go in and lock the door, probably should have seen him off but today was more than I hoped for.

I had my bath and ate dinner in silence. Holding Albus and Seth eased my mind and made me happy and satisfied and I fell asleep in no time. The week passed by really quickly with Nathan seemingly walking on egg shells around me but I couldn't care less since I had a spa appointment on saturday that I have been looking forward to. Saturday came and I was done with it, I felt so relaxed and energized at the same time so I went to a dessert shop and had a Frappuccino with a velvet cake. This was a day I planned to do nothing and it really helped.

Leaving the cafe a got a notification, We are meeting at Xtendz at 6pm, dont be late.

That was a text from my friend, Mike. I had made plans to meet up with the group since it had been a while and I needed to catch up with everyone.

I'm on my way home to get ready. I reply him.

I won't be late, it's been way too long and I'm looking forward to seeing all you guys

Tomorrow is a sunday so I can stay up real la---

I suddenly became dizzy and everywhere seemed quiet around me. I think I'm on the floor and I can vaguely hear someone asking if I'm okay. Wasn't my day getting good, was that some kind of bad omen?

Help

I whisper to whom it may concern, whoever is listening. I start to feel light strokes on my hand as my conciousness is drifting.

"The ambulance is on its way so try your best to stay awake", a sweet voice tells me.

"It'll be alright."

I hope I can keep listening to this voice, is the last thing I remember thinking to myself.
