My first update since ever!! And it's short I know.. So I don't know if it's good, ok? One thing else. This story, I was writing at christmas season, so, I'll continue this like if it's still in the same season ok? Because I already had almost all the story in my mind, and I'll not change it.. :)

Kirstie P.O.V.

The guys are trying to make me feel better, and honestly, I'm starting to have my mood a little better. Kevin is funny and he makes jokes all the time. It's a good thing, cause today I can laugh instead of crying. And there's Avi. Who is kind of an angel. He's so caring and gentle with me. I'm extremely thankfull for having friends like this.
Scott and Mitch came here and brought my clothes. They brought pizzas too, and we sat at the table, just eating, chatting and laughting a lot!
After the guys left, it's only me..and Kevin and Avi.

It's late, and I start to feel tired. Since I've taken a shower, and brushed my teeths, I'm ready to sleep. Right now, I just want to stay alone a little while. I need to suffer alone, cause I was surrounded by peaple all day. I couldn't let they see my weakness.

"Guys, thank you so much for everything you have done for me, and for letting me stay here. I promise it'll not be for much longer, ok?" I stand up and hug the two of them, planting a quick kiss on their cheeks.

"hey, don't worry about that! you can stay here as much time as you like." kevin says.

Avi don't say anything. Instead of that, he just stands up too and follow me. When I'm almost grabbing my stuff, that was thrown at the sofa yet, he picks it up for me. "Let me help you with that" he says, seriously, and looking at him, I loose all my arguments, so we walk to the room where I slept yesterday.

I was planning to be alone in 'my'room now, cause I was about to collapse in any minute, but, how could I reject his help? He asked so gently...

He puts my bag in the floor and I take a sit in a chair next to it, in silence, grabbing some clothes I'll need tomorrow. But Avi didn't left. he is still here. I look at him in the corner of my eyes and he is in silence too, concentrated, making my bed. It's very cute.

For a brief moment, I forget what I was doing, and I stare at him. Why he's distracting me like that??

suddenly, he catches my look and kneels in front of me.

"You'll be fine, Kirstie. Everything's gonna be alright, ok? I'll do everything in my power to make sure that you're happy again. we all are in your side." he whispers.

I feel his gaze on me, but I refuse to look at him. I only nodd slowly with my head down. My eyes are filled with tears at this moment. Don't cry Kirstie! Not in front of him!

He gives a sweet kiss in my forehead. "Good night." He says.

Too late. I can't hold it anymore, and now I'm crying desperatly. I hate my self for this. Nobody needs to see me like a weak person. But I am weak...

Avi promtly kneels again and takes me in his embrace. " shh..please don't cry.." I put my arms around his neck, so he knows I need comfort.

I have no idea how long I've been crying in his arms. But it's only when I calm down, he whispers "I'll put you in your bed now. You need some rest." without thinking, he takes me in his arms an lays me down on my bed.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" He asks

"Not really..."

"Ok, I'm going to my room. If you need anything, just call me." he smiles at me and squeezes my hand.

When he's about to leave, I realize that I don't want he leaves.

"Avi?" He turns around. "what?"

"Can you stay here? I mean, just until I can sleep?" I really don't know why I asked this. I think it's because he is taking care of me so well..

He looks thoughtfull, but then, he just says "sure..." He takes a chair and put it close to my bed.

I closed my eyes, feeling safe now. I fall asleep easily, with him, stroking my hair...

Avi P.O.V.

How to say no to her, when she needs me? Maybe I shouldn't be in this romm with her, in first place. it's too dangerous for me. But here I am, watching her sleep. She looks like a little angel now. So calm. I don't know how I'll handle this week. She, every day, around me, with her fragility, and her pain, bagging for comfort. How I'll do this, without letting her know about my feelings?

I make my way to my room. Maybe I can sleep too. I hope so.
