Kieras POV

After crying all day, I found myself lying belly down on my bed. My face was down on the tear wet pillow. I heard my mom in the next room crying as well, knowing how much it hurt me. The next morning I woke up, coming to the conclusion that I cried myself to sleep. I got on denim shorts and flip flops, and headed out the door not addressing my mother. On line at Starbucks, I looked around waiting for the line to move and a familiar blue eyed man to walk through the door. From behind me I felt a hand on my shoulder. Spinning around to look at the face in front of me, I realized its the blue eyes I've been waiting for. "Excuse me , miss, but would you like to sit?" I heard his voice going through my head as I waited for an answer to come out my mouth. I agreed and we sat in a booth and I told him about my mother. This had become normal now, just sitting there talking about our day, nothing big. Someone might even consider us "friends". He gave me a sympathetic look "I'm sorry to hear that. Who are you gonna to live with?" I hadn't even thought of that. I told him the truth, that I wasn't sure. I wondered if my mom had thought of where I was going after she passes away. His soft voice started again, "I would offer you a place to stay but being we just met and I'm almost always on the road, that probably wouldn't be smart." He flashed me one of those half smiles that I'd often seen in pictures. The thought about us living together was just weird. He was a star and I don't think I even liked him like that. "You okay?" He jolted me out of my daydream. Oh no... was I staring at him that whole time? "Yeah sorry! Just thinking about where I'm going to be moving that's all." Well... not a total lie... right? Hunters phone beeped and he looked at the glowing screen then back up at me. He told me he has to go but that he will text me after he's done with his band. That's reasonable. Walking home in the heat made me wonder why I didn't take my car. It may have not been much, but hey it had air conditioning. As soon as I got into my purple painted room, I flopped on my bed and took an afternoon nap. Its times like those that made me wish I had an AC in my room.
