HE TAUGHT ME HOW TO GET A BOYFRIEND

Strange indeed

~Caden~

Rhiannon had been acting strange ever since she entered the hospital room. She left without saying goodbye to mom,dad or even Valia. I didn't blame her because maybe she remembered her mom. I chose to give her  some time. I didn't call or text her. Valia called her several times but she didn't answer. We were all worried so my mom asked me to go check up on her that night. I didn't want to make her feel like we were suffocating her so I tried to convince mom not to let me go there but she insisted.

I parked the car in the dark alley because I didn't want Rhiannon to notice I was there. I got out and walked quietly to the door. I heard her crying. I couldn't bring myself to knock on the door. No one wants to be seen at their lowest. I turned to leave but I couldn't leave either. I sat at her doorstep and listened to her cries. Her cries broke my heart. Why was she crying so much? Is it about her mom? I kept asking myself what to do to help her. I decided to wait for her to stop the cries.

After 30 minutes, I couldn't hear her cry anymore. I knocked the door twice but she didn't answer. I tried opening the door and fortunately, it wasn't locked. I let myself in and saw her lying on the floor with her hands covering her face. I walked to her to see if she was deeply asleep and she was. I lifted her up in bridal style and took her to the room upstairs. She kept murmuring something but I didn't pay attention to that. I placed her on the bed, put a blanket over her and got up to leave.

" I'm sorry okay" Rhiannon said gripping onto my shirt making me sit on the side of the bed

Why was she saying sorry? It wasn't her fault. She did nothing wrong. I forgot about that because she didn't say a name. I wasn't sure of who she was saying sorry to. I kissed her forehead and left the room.

I called Valia to tell her that I couldn't come back. I had to watch over Rhiannon. I slept in the couch that night.

Rhiannon's POV

I woke up due to the alarm ring. School was back again. Two months in the advertisement section was interesting. I still had my part-time job going on. I got up and noticed I was in my room.

" When did I get here?... No...no...dad..." I was so scared so I rushed down the stairs to see if he was there

I saw someone lying in the couch. I walked slowly and quietly trying not to to make a sound. I went to the kitchen and took a knife. I was ready for anything at all. I held the knife in my hand tightly when the person moved. He groaned and fell off the couch.

"Ugh!! Again!?" He groaned

I sighed with relief and hid the knife behind me.

" Caden, what are you doing here? You scared me, really..." I started

" Look, I was just helping alright. You should be thanking me... You left your door unlocked and slept. Who does that?" He scolded

" Well, I do!" I yelled

I noticed I was too harsh.

" Thank... you though." I said and lowered my head

" Don't worry, that's what I'm here for" Caden said this with a straight face

I started giggling because it was funny to me.

" What?" He asked

" Your face...haha...oh you look so...f...funny" I said while laughing hard

He started laughing too. We both continued laughing until we heard a knock on the door. I stiffened my body thinking it could be my dad. Caden moved to get the door but I rushed to the door before he could get there.
