KIERA

(a day later)

I was roaming around places to see where I could potentially have my studio at. My phone kept ringing but I was unable to find it in the mess of my bag. I had to sit down to take it out.

Kiera: Hello?

Caleb: Ki-- Kie--Kiera..

Kiera: What happened? Are you fine? Why are you coughing?

He shared his location and I went there as soon as possible. But when I reached, all my fear vanished. It was a restaurant and he was chilling inside.

Kiera: I was shocked because you phoned with a dying voice and I rushed over here to see this, you having meat? Do you want some more so that I can stuff it in your face?

Caleb: It's really good.. have some.

Kiera: Ughhh. I am not saying anything as you got hurt because of me.

Caleb: Let's not talk now. The food is too good. Open your mouth.

Caleb cut the steak nicely and fed it to me. The steak was good. Like so good that I ordered one for me.

Caleb: If you don't want me to be in pain, will you feed me once a day? You know.. this is the first time we are eating together since I came to Boston.

I tried remembering the times we ate together it was either at Ryan's restaurant with everyone or one time with Ian. We never had a meal together.

Kiera: Man that's true.

Caleb: I'm glad I got hurt... In this way I get to eat with you.

I was staring at him. Who is this person? He would make a big deal out of a fricking papercut. But now.. even after suffering from a second degree burn, he is fine just having a meal with me.

Kiera: This is unfamiliar.

Caleb: What? Me? Did I do anything wrong?

Kiera: This is also unfamiliar. Anyways if you want something.. just call me. Don't pretend that you got hurt or something. That startled me.

Caleb: Really??

Kiera: Yeah..

Caleb: You have said it now.. you might regret it.

The next week was my life's personal hell.. Caleb called me numerous times.

(At a movie theatre.)

Kiera: How is seeing a movie helping your back pain? Why am I here?

Caleb: I can't walk in dark places alone. What if I trip and fall? I need your help Wood...

(At a library.)

Kiera: So reading books gonna help you cure your pain

Caleb: Who said about me? I called so that you choose some books and I can buy you those. You are helping me so much this days. I oughta do something.

Kiera: I said call me when you need my help. "MY HELP".

Caleb: So you don't need books?

Kiera: Shut up.. you gonna be bankrupt today..

(At a restaurant again.)

Kiera: I am going to kill you next time. This is your emergency!!!

Caleb: This is a new ice cream parlour. We have to try the new flavours. It is an emergency..
