"Stay here" she told him.
"I can't. I don't want you to get involved." he refused.
She pulled a long face. "But what if he hurts you again?"
"He's fine when I do what he wants. I just got terribly sick and couldn't work in the house that's why he got mad at me." he reasoned, but she was still not convinced.
"Until when do you plan to do this? You won't live with him forever, will you?" she asked.
"I'll bear with him until I graduate... I'm planning to... to move and live far from here..." He paused and looked at her. "Would you like to come with me? (sighed soundlessly) But I will understand if you can't." he continued in a sad tone.
"I will. Of course, I will come with you." she replied willingly.
He faced her and held her hand. "Listen... I love you, but... if in the future... you realize I'm not the one you want to spend your life with... I will understand." he said selflessly.
After she heard that, her heart sank. She looked at him with her teary eyes, then she embraced him. "No, that will never happen. After we graduate, I'll come with you anywhere you want to go." she cried out.
He wrapped her in his arms, but his mind was still full of uncertainty.
In the evening, his fever did not improve. Erin begged him to stay and wait until he gets better. He hesitated at first, but he later agreed thinking that he couldn't even stand properly to go back home.

The next day, Erin decided to skip school and accompany Kith in her apartment.
"Go, I'll be fine." he told her.
"It's all right. I will not fail if I ditch school for a day or two. I'll stay here with you. You still can't move on your own." she insisted.
He sighed. "Sorry if I'm bothering you now."
"You're not bothering me. This is part of our relationship. When I need you, you'll be there for me. When you need me, I'll do the same for you." she told him.
He looked at her for a moment, then he smiled. "Thank you"
She smiled too, then she brushed his hair with her fingers.
"I'm sure, right now, dad thinks I ran away." he said in an anxious tone.
"Don't worry. He'll be fine in a few days without you." she replied, smirking.
