The next day, I went for classes as usual. The boys had filled me in and I decided to take a step back to give him the space he needed. However, all through the day, despite being consumed by full day classes and lab work, my mind was still on Kit and whether he was doing OK.

In the evening, I met the boys for drinks at the local bar. About 30 minutes later, Beam and the other two walked in. I just cast a soft glance towards Kit who pretended not to see me. I gripped my fists tightly but didn't say anything. Over the night, we drank, made jokes, conversed and the happy couples flirted blatantly amongst us. Kit was sitting next to Pha but over the night, we happened to swap seats and I found myself next to Kit at one point of time. He didn't move and just saw next to me but he ignored me too. I sighed and just focused on slamming drinks instead. 15 minutes later, Kit stopped me from downing yet another whisky.

"Stop. What the fuck are you doing?"

"Drinking? I'm not allowed to do that too?"

"Lam. What do you mean by too? Just don't drink so fast and much. You be drunk."

"Let me be drunk then. Its apparently the one thing i can still do."

"Lam!"

I just smiled at him drunkenly and continued slamming drinks. Some of my juniors came by and I followed them to go get more drinks. I watched from the corner of my eye as Kit watched me. This is why the fucking why, I hate letting down my walls to let people in. We had shots and by the 3rd one, I saw Kit walk towards me. I ignored him as I continued downing them. For some reason, Kit didn't make it as quickly to me as I thought he would. But finally, just as i was about to take my 6th shot, Kit pulled me away from the bar and stopped me from another drink. I turned to him drunk as a sailor. I just smiled dumbly, fumbling around him. He held onto me tightly. One of my juniors who was drunk tried to hold onto me, to avoid letting go of me. I was about to move towards him when Kit pulled me back with a nasty glare at both of us.

"He is done, Nong and he's heading home with me. Go home too."

He replied sternly and pulled me away. I don't know how he got me home as I recalled throwing a fit but morning dawned upon us and I found myself, on his bed. Kit was at the table, drinking tea when I sat up, the biggest hangover hitting me ever.

"Ugh.."

"There's aspirin and juice. Take that before a shower ok? I made some porridge and you can have that."

I just looked at Kit quietly. He is really sending me mixed signals when he tells me he wants me to stay away and yet he looks after me so tenderly.

"I can't help it. I worry about you. I just want to make sure you are ok."

What the fuck. Did I just speak out loud?! I looked at Kit who smiled at me wanely. I guess I did. His face showed a smile that didn't reach his eyes and he looked troubled. I just followed his instructions quietly. When I came out, he wasn't there anymore. I saw a note on the table.

"I'm out. Just leave the extra key under the shoe rack as usual. Take care."

I got so frustrated, I just slammed the table. I was so tempted not to eat and just leave but Kit hardly cooks and he did it for me. I ate quietly, cleaning up after myself and I left, following his instructions to a T. I didn't see him thereafter for a while, even though I often saw Beam and Pha. But their sad looks cast my way just confirmed my theory that he was avoiding me. Sotus, classes, lab work and nights out with the boys kept me busy but thoughts of him never left me.

In fact, I missed him more and more as the days crawled by. Yes, they fucking crawled by in my opinion. Well it all came to a standstill one day, when I heard that Kit was hospitalised.

And I rushed like mad to the hospital to only be confronted by a badly beaten up Kit, a worried Beam and traumatised Pha. And when I heard the person responsible for it all, my blood just seethed red.

Fuck. Nua was so dead in my hands.
