I didn't know what to do.

None of this felt real.

And that recurring feeling of my world crashing down filled me for the second time since the our goodbye.

My heart ached for Sarawat.

I disappeared from his life once and finally fixed things for him but my selfishness allowed me to enter his life again and now destined to leave him again.

"Tine, you just woke up.. maybe you sh-"

"-I'm sorry Earn..." I cut her off, throat burning from the struggle of keeping the whimpers down. "Do you think I can have a little time to think?" I forced a smile on my lips, hoping she would ignore the tears that dripped from my eye, down my face.

She sighed and left me in the room with a pained expression like she really didn't think that I could be trusted with myself.

I flopped over onto my side and curled my body up into a ball, I found the most comfort in it. It also soothed my shaking body.

"I'm going to do something about this!" Earn slammed her fist against the table, causing a ruckus on the table from the dishes.

"What CAN we do." Type sighed, rubbing his aching forehead. "That witch is nowhere to be found and it doesn't seem like Tine is going to last very long."

"I.." Earn clenched her fist and perked up. "I'm not going to find answers sitting on my ass, that's for sure."

She banged on the slightly worn out door, not a care if the other tenants would care. After what seemed like forever, the door creaked open, revealing the most dreadful sight that Earn could possibly need at a time like this.

"I must say, I did not expect any guests tonight, more less, a woman." Adonis' sickening smile, sent chills down the young woman's spine.

"I know who you are, you sly son of a bitch." Earn pushed her way into the man's room, she quickly scanned her surroundings to ensure her safety, that would be easily compromised with a snake like him.

"Who?" He repeated, cocking his head, inquisitively.

Earn scoffed at his mockery, though it wouldn't seem that way to the objective ear. "Right, lemme rephrase that for you." She cleared her throat, staking her confidence with dramatics. "I know 'what' you are, you scaly bastard."

A brief light shifted through Adonis' eyes, and Earn could've sworn they were slitted for a second. "Enough with the formalities," He sighed, sarcasm practically dripping from his lips. "To what do I owe this fine honour, from one of satan's very own sluts."

"Creative," She gritted, plopping down on the closest chair. "You're going to tell me where I can find Pam." she crossed her slender arms over her chest, as a power move. Despite the confidence, she rather, lacked the 'balls' to be speaking to such a dangerous man this way, but she had no choice, she was willing to do anything for Tine.

"And why would I know that?" He sighed, leaning against the desk she sat in front of. "Better yet, why would I do that?"

"Oh please, like I wouldn't know that you two in fact worked very closely together. Very closely." She narrow eyed him, seeing through all his bullshit. His lip twitched upon hearing her statement, as if he was a tad annoyed. "So I think you know exactly what I'm here about."
