Two years after Kate Dixon finished high school,she had been living with so much emptiness in her heart,even while in college.

It was already Monday and Kate still couldn't reach Dexter. She spent the weekend trying not to bother or worry too much about it_he might just be in a situation where he's not allowed to take any calls. She really hoped that was the case, because it's either that or something is really wrong.
Kate came out of the bathroom, wearing a random black tshirt and a pair of black shorts too. She was drying her wet hair with a towel as she shuffled to her bed, she collapsed on it with a huff and took her phone where she left it on the bed.
The tip of her thumb hovered on Dexter's name on her phone as she debated on calling him again. She decided not to and she dialled Tyler's number instead. She waited for him to pick up as she placed her phone against her ear, still lying flat on her bed.
"What's up, Kate?" Tyler said immediately he picked up.
"Hey, Tyler. How are you doing?" Kate scratched her eyebrow lightly with a finger.
"I'm good. So_is there a reason you're calling me at seven in the morning?" Tyler asked her teasingly.
Kate rolled her eyes_what else would she expect from Tyler. "I just wanted to ask you something".
"Okay, what is it?" Tyler asked.
"Um...when was the last time you saw Dex?" Kate slowly sat upright, running her fingers through her hair.
"That should be on Saturday. Why?" Tyler replied casually.
Kate sighed. "Well, I've not been able to reach him since Friday. And when I even called him on Saturday, you were the one who picked up".
Tyler took a moment before speaking,"He's at it again_that dimwit. He's probably just at home, you should go check on him".
Kate furrowed her eyebrows a little before relaxing them. "You're sure he's at home? Even if I go and see him, any chances I'm gonna run into his Dad?" She asked, picking up the towel again to dry to tips of her hair.
Tyler chuckled slightly over the phone,"Do you possibly think Dex would live with his Dad since he got back from Canada? Of course, he has his own condo. And it's easy to access. I can even tell you his password". He said, whispering the last part.
Kate's lips twitched up slightly at Tyler's words. "I thought he was staying with Dad. He slept over at my place once, saying his Dad kicked him out of the house and he has no where else to go". She said,a skip in her heartbeat as she remembered that night.
"Well obviously, you've been duped",Tyler laughed.
Kate rolled her eyes,"Yup. Thanks for letting me know".
Tyler's laugh was slowly dying down,"Yeah, that Dexter's so crazy about ya, he would clearly do anything just to be with you".
Kate's heart actually fluttered at Tyler's point, she bit her lower lip slightly and looked down at her nails. "I know, right?", She mumbled.
