    Felix jumped slightly as his phone was thrown across the room. He was sure the screen would be shattered.

  “Micah, it was just a call,”

  “Really? Was it?” Micah questioned.

  The blond nodded.

  “Why would he call you, Felix? What other reason is there for him to call you other than a hookup?”

    “He was just worried. He heard about mine and Yuqi's argument, and wanted to make sure I was okay,” Felix told him.

  “I don't want you talking to him again. Him and Yuqi are no good for you,”

   Felix nodded, “I won't talk to them, I promise,”

   Micah left the room.

  Felix tried to relax his shoulder, but couldn't. Getting up from the bar chair, he went over and grabbed his phone.

   The screen was shattered and bits of glass were missing.

   He sat on the couch and tossed his phone to the side. He hugged his legs as he pulled them to his chest.

    Yuqi would be upset and disappointed if she knew what was happening.

    Felix leaned his head back and closed his eyes.

    He wanted so badly to believe that Micah wasn't that bad, but he forgot to make sure he'd be safe if things did get bad.

   “How'd I let myself get here again…?” He whispered as if expecting an answer.

   “Yuqi wake up,” Soyeon said, shaking her lover awake.

   Yuqi groaned and opened her eyes. Soyeon's blinding light of a phone was on and lighting up the room.

  “Gee, Yeon, turn your brightness down,”

   “Love, Felix just messaged me,”

   The ravenette was wide awake now.

   “What? What did he say?”

   “Maple,”

   Yuqi took the phone and looked at the message.

  “He sent this two hours ago…”

  “What time is it in New York right now?” Soyeon asked.

  “3 in the morning,” Yuqi said, grabbing her phone.

   “What are you doing? Do you know what this message means?”

   “After an incident at a club, we came up with a code word I. Case one of us was in trouble, it was Maple. We only use it in real emergencies,”

  “But isn't he there with… oh…”

   Yuqi pressed the phone to her ear and bit her lip hoping the other would answer.

   “I know it is probably late, but are you still in New York?... Can you do me a favour?... I am going to send you an address. Can you go there and pick up my friend?”

   “Yeah, it is Felix… Bring them, I don't know what the situation is… Thank you, I owe you,”

   Yuqi hung up and let out a sigh. Tears welled in her eyes.

    “Hey, he'll be fine. He is Felix,”

   Yuqi held Soyeon tight as the older hugged her.

  That is what she was worried about.
