6:54pm

Steven's phone was ringing and he wasn't awake yet so he woke to the sound of it,

Over Phone:

Steven & Mina

Steven: Hello?

Mina: Hey, I've called you 7 times

Steven: Yeah, I see that. Sorry..

Mina: It's fine, so um-

Steven: What?

Mina: Look I-

Steven: Don't! Don't apologize!

Mina: But, I messed up-

Steven: Yeah, and I stormed

Mina: But, I forced you to stay

Steven: No you didn't, I shouldn't have left

Mina: No I just- I don't know. I shouldn't have called. This is awkward

Steven: No it-

Mina: *Hangs up*

"Oh come on!" Steven yelled as he got up and got ready to leave, "Okay, phone, bag, charger, extra clothes. Let's go and let's hope this works" Steven said out loud to himself. Steven got to his car and started it and drove to Mina's building.

*8 minutes later*

7:02pm

Steven pulled into the parking lot and parked. Then he got out, grabbed his bag and walked in. He walked into the building, *uses key*, "Morning Sam!" Steven yelled to Sam the security guard "Morning Steven!" He replied. Steven walked up the stairs even though he knew he would have to walk 12 flights of stairs, he didn't care. "Okay, and the 12th floor," Steven said, opening the door to her floor. "Okay, 1203, 1205, 1207.. 1209" He paused "Let's hope this works" Steven said walking up to her door, *Knock Knock*. "ONE SECOND" Mina yelled from inside the door, "*Exhale* What am I doing?" He asked himself "I should leave, yeah I'm gonna-" Before Steven could finish his thought Mina was opening the door, "Mochi move" Mina said to her dog from inside the door, "Hey Sam-" Mina stopped when she looked up and saw Steven "Hey" Steven said softly, "hey." Mina said disappointingly "You know what, I- I shouldn't be here" Steven sated "No" Mina said grabbing his hand "Get in here" Mina gestured with her head for him to come inside "Oh-Okay" Steven said stepping in putting his bag on the floor, "What's with the bag?" Mina asked "Oh, it's nothing" Steven said not realizing Mina was looking through it, "Clothes, Charger, Keys, Book, and-" Mina paused "Oh!-" Steven yelled kind of loud "Who are these for?" Mina asked standing up, "You. I thought you might want them, they're your favorite. So, I picked them up on the way" Steven explained "Oh, Steven. They're beautiful" Mina complimented "Yeah, I didn't know if I got the right color. I was stuck between yellow and Red so I went with peach or pink-" Steven was stopped by Mina hugging him, "Hmm. You need to learn how to shut up" Mina stated "Oh, yeah. Sorry" Steven replied as Mina backed up. "One sec, I'ma put them in something" Mina said walking away. Steven had bought Mina a pretty big bunch of flowers.                                                                          

                                                                     They kinda looked like this

The flowers were beautiful and Mina loved them but Steven felt like something was off and he kept zoning out, "You okay?" Mina asked "Yeah, all good" Steven lied "Okay, well look. I found a vase to match them" Mina said putting them on the table next to Steven, "What are we doing?" Steven asked "Why am I here?" Steven added "You came her by yourself" Mina stated "Yeah well maybe I shouldn't of" Steven argued "What?
