         Helen helped Liu stand back up and Liu thanked him. Liu felt his heart race when he was around Helen but for some reason he didn't want it to. Liu felt like his heart already belonged to another, but the problem was that he didn't know who.
         Helen didn't say much after all he said was that, "I'll see you later" and then he left, but he seemed like he wanted to be left alone completely, like he had no interest in talking to people. Liu shook off the feeling and continued on his way.
          Stroke, stroke, stroke...Helen continued stroking his paintbrush across the canvas he was working on. Of course he was doing one of his bloody paintings again, he sometimes uses body parts for 3D paintings, and to regain some of his sanity he paints with normal paint using colors other than red.
Helen suddenly stopped painting, something put his mind in a spin for a quick second. "Liu..." Helen quietly said to himself. Why was he on his mind? Maybe because he's so kind to him, or he's...very attractive. "What no stop that stupid brain!!!" Helen accidentally screamed out loud. He instantly covered his mouth after realizing hoping no one heard him, but to no use Puppeteer already busted through the door asking if something was wrong. Helen declined but yet again Puppeteer didn't think so, he stayed for a while after that. That made Helen's mind wandered off of the thought that was recently in his head, but there was still that one question in his head though. "Am I falling for Liu?" Helen asked himself in his head.
While his mind wandered he didn't even know what he was painting anymore. Puppeteer was confused but let Helen do whatever he was doing. Puppeteer eventually left and said, "good luck on your painting." Helen just simply replied, "thanks."
When Helen stopped painting and regained his mind, he realized that he had painted Liu. "Shit..." said Helen with a worried look on his face. "I have to hide this before someone sees it." Helen hid the painting behind some others he was working on, for the painting of Liu being so big there wasn't that many options to put it.
       After he put away everything he lade on his bed and thought to himself, "I've never painted a picture without looking at it before, why now?" Helen threw away the thought and continued on to a different painting to take his mind off of it. But still could he be falling for Liu or is he just getting blind-sided by it. Helen always had a thing for Puppeteer but never told him, maybe he should tell him then maybe he can forget about this feeling, Helen's heart already belonged to Puppeteer and he'd never let go of that.
