"Ty, you don't know what you're getting yourself into."

"No, no i don't Chris. You used to tell me everything but now you don't. We agreed not to keep secrets between us or have you forgotten about that as well?", Ty was being serious and it was a side of him that i've never seen before.

I stared at me speechless because i didn't want to tell him the truth.

"Or is it that you feel awkward after knowing about who i truly am."

"No! God no! It's -- i don't want you to get hurt.", i replied.

"Take me with you."

I knew i couldn't argue with him any longer. So i dragged him with me and we arrived at the bottom of a hillside. "Where are you taking me?"

"You'll see.", we went up the hillside and we've arrived at the doorstep of Aelia's house.

"Aelia, i know you're in there. Open the door.", i kept ringing the doorbell and there was no answer.

"You mean you dragged me to Aelia's house for my birthday?! What? Are you guys dating?", Ty was complaining and i just ignored him.

Then a voice came to my mind. "Why is he here..."

It was Aelia's voice. I communicate back to her. "He handcuffed me along with him for forgetting about his birthday. Just let me in. I will make stuff up."

Aelia quietly opened the door and she wore makeup for the first time. I knew she wanted to cover up those scratch marks but I was caught off guard by that makeup on her face.

"Nice makeup and where did you get that contact lenses from?", Ty asked but Aelia ignored him and gestured us in. Ty was mesmerize by the paintings and how huge it was in her house. He began to ask unnecessary questions like, "Are you rich?", "Are you some kind of a heir?".

"Are you guys dating?", Ty asked Aelia and she was taken aback by the question but she stared at me instead.

"Ah, we are not dating but we are partners for a certain charity. A charity that helps schizophrenia kids.", i blatantly lied to Ty and he believed every single word of it.

"Why didn't you tell me?! I want in."

Both me and Aelia yelled, "NO!", and Ty was so confused.

"Now what?!", Aelia was asking me.

"Don't worry i got this covered."

"Ty, you can't just claimed that you want in. You need to sign up and do surveys and all that. I know it's such a fuss so, why don't you just give me the keys to this handcuffs and we can return home safely."

"Yes, Tiberius... Christopher is right. You are not fit to be in this charity.", Aelia told Ty and i knew a fight is going to happen sooner or later...

"Woah, i know Chris like forever and you know Chris ever existed like what? 3 days ago? Don't you ever tell me that i'm not fit to be in a charity that Christopher is apart of.", Ty was pissed and both of them continued to exchange words and it was beginning to annoy me.

"No wonder Christopher is attached to you. You're pity.", Aelia spat out those words and i quickly came to Ty's defence.

"Stop with this childish act!", i argued back and Ty was just listening.

"Oh please, if Tiberius and i were in danger, you would definitely save me.", Aelia said.

"Just say it Christopher. You would definitely save me rather than your boyfriend over there.", Aelia's facial expression changed and she was the one who looked pity.
