My eyes were still swollen after a week.

I never knew how much I could cry until now, for the past few days I couldn't talk, eat or even sleep with the amount of pain that I had to process. All I managed to do was to stay stuck onto my bed like a rat trap.

The only time I ever got up was to go to the toilet, although, with no food in my system, it was rarely. Any form of communication I had been through was on the phone with Noor, but most of the conversation had been drowned with tears and incoherent words that I had blabbered on. She was the one person I held onto through all this.

Although Aran tried his best to comfort me, yet he was in an uncomfortable situation himself. I mean Leo has been his best friend ever since they were kids.

There was a sudden knock on my door, I turned my head towards the door. "Aran I told you I'd be fine for two hours alone."

The door opened to reveal two brown eyes staring back at me, along with pearly white teeth staring at me. Ruby-red diamonds shone in the dim light of my room. "It's not Aran," Fallon said a small smile on her face.

I turned my head back to look out the window with a sigh. "Who told you?" I asked, in an awkward manner. I had been trying to avoid her as much as I could ever since she had been dating Jaxon.

"Told me what?" Fallon replied, sitting down on the bed next to me. "You haven't come to school for a week now, I was worried."

My eyes widened slightly when I heard those words, swivelling my head around to her. "Since when did you care about me like that?" I questioned her with a tone of shock.

Fallon shrugged her shoulders, not looking at me as she tapped her feet on the ground. "I never did, but Kai's mouth has been getting a bit too big recently and I need someone to shut her down." She explained turning to me. "Yet I can't seem to find anyone as hot-headed as you."

My lips thinned to a line at the memory of my last fight with Kai, shaking my head in response. "I can't," I murmured, with a solemn whisper.

"Is it because of Leo?" She questioned with a curious gaze. I didn't say anything in response, yet the look I gave her was enough of an answer for her to understand. All my fight had dissipated the same day I lost Leo.

"How has he been?" I responded, my voice trying not to shake as I spoke. I was pathetic to still be asking for him, yet my mind couldn't help it.

"I haven't seen him around," Fallon answered, placing a hand on my leg as a way to reassure me, yet it only reminded me more of Leo. It was something he would often do to me when he was bored, always in need of a way to touch me. "I only cared about Jaxon. I mean, hell, you know that."

I didn't say anything for a while before I heavily sighed. "I'm not coming to school today or tomorrow, or for the rest of the week in fact, so you can go."

Fallon's lip thinned as she tilted her head at me with a sly grin. "I'm not leaving until you get up to go school."

My hood accompanied me enough to hide my face, I hadn't planned on allowing any of Leo's fans to feast their eyes on the hell I'd been going through. After our breakup, I expected them to stop being so obsessed with me and for them to stop flooding me with comments on my Instagram, however, they only seemed to love me even more. Some of them loved me even more than Leo.

My hands stuck to my pockets whilst I entered my class, the late bell ringing and screeching like a bat in my ears as I winced yet not breaking off my stroll. Soon, I reached my table, taking a seat there as I tried my best to not meet the eyes of anyone else as I took my place in Maths class.
