"You put this here, and this one is here, and you put that one over here, and that one over there. Oh! The blue one should be next to the green one. You hear me, Calum?"

Too afraid to ask, he just nodded and smiled at her. She left him in the room to do the thing alone, while she's doing a lot of other things in the other room. She asked him to help her, and he didn't want to say no because he never want to be a bad boyfriend for her.

Okay, he exhaled a breath. Let's start. You can do this, Calum.

This one here, this one there ..., put that one over there .... The blue one next to yellow ....

Oh no no wait, I'm wrong. He stared at his work. This should be here, not there.

He tried to fix the wrong part, but as he fix it, he was even more confused.

So is the blue one next to yellow or red? Or even green? Or purple?

He then put the blue next to the green, and fixing the other part that he thought he was wrong at placing it.

Oh fuck. No, no, the blue is next to yellow. And this one is over there.

He tried to fix it again and again, but he was even more confused and mad at himself.

This is not what she wants! You can't even remember where to put the blue! You dissapoint her!

"I dissapoint everyone," he gulped, in the verge of tears.

His tears are slowly falling. God, why am I feeling so miserable over this?

I fucking hate me, I fucking hate me!

Fix it, Calum! Fix it now!

He tried to fix it again, but now it's just a huge mess. He put everything in the wrong order.

My mind is a mess.

He tried, and tried, and tried. But he can't.

Slowly, he's sobbing in the corner, crying over the fact that he couldn't even do this one little thing. Crying over the thoughts that he dissapointed his girlfriend, while he's girlfriend would be okay with it. While his girlfriend didn't even force him to do this.

But he thought he dissapoint her. He kept crying his eyes out in silence, trying to clear his head.

"I'm sorry, Haley." He mumbled.
