Always by your side.

Break down.

It's been two days since our first date. We've been talking nonstop via app or calling. It's been good. But I have to get back to work. Which also means their is a slight possibility I could see Oliver when he's done with school.

Wait... it's Monday now so that means he's still free today! Great! Than I'll definitely see him. And I'll be able to check up on him with the cameras. I can't wait to see him again... it's only been two days and I already miss him. But than again we are destined for each other.

I just hope he arrives before my break so I could spend my break with him. Maybe even talk about date 2. I really want to see him.

I'll just have to get through today till he's here.

~time skip~

In 10 minutes my break would start. And Oliver wasn't here yet. Which is weird since I checked up on him and saw him leaving the house. He hadn't made an appointment with a friends or family so where is he? Of course he could still be walking... but still. Normally he would already be here.

Maybe he just went for a walk? But why? I'll just have to wait I guess.

I heard the bell. Meaning their was a new customer, I looked up from my phone and smiled. Which soon turned into a frown.

Before me stood a sad looking Oliver. He's been like this a couple of times but I never asked him anything since he didn't know me, but he does now so I'll go and talk to him.

He tilted his head a little bit and gave me a small smile, obviously fake. I gave him one in return. "Hi there. Your usual?" He nodded. "Without the cake please." His voice sounds so... broken. I nodded and smiled at him. He didn't even look up and went to his table. He didn't pick up a book but just sat there.

I guess Samantha saw it too cause she came over to me and tapped me on the shoulder. "Why don't you start your break now, and take as long as you need." I smiled at her and thanked her before walking towards Oliver. I knew she'd come in handy.

I sat down in front of him, he didn't even look up. "Hey what's wrong?" My voice was so small. I was afraid that talking any harder would break him. He looked up at me with tears in his eyes. He quickly wiped them away before smiling at me.

"N-Nothing..." his voice was sad. Something is definitely wrong. "Hey come on, you can talk to me ok?" He nodded and opened his mouth. But closed it after looking around. He probably doesn't want to tell me with all of these people here.

I stood up and mentioned for him to do the same and to grab my hand. "Come on we'll go to the back." He nodded and grabbed my hand. He kept his head down while he followed me.

I saw Samantha looking at us worriedly but ignored it. Oliver is my main priority.

I opened the door for him and let him in. I closed it behind us after turning the lights on. Oliver sat down on the couch and I sat down next to him. I grabbed his hand and started stroking my thumb over it. Hoping it would calm him down a bit.

"I- I know we don't know each other that well and stuff and if you don't want me to... I don't know... tell you what's wrong than I understand." O Oliver... "I want to hear it. So you better be prepared to tell me everything." He nodded but kept his head down.

He sighed. "It's just... I'm having some trouble with my body. I-I don't w-want this." He broke out in a sob. My sweet Oliver... I pulled him into a hug, he was straddling me while crying into my shoulder.

He shook heavily and his breath came out labored. He cried, hard. I just held him, stroking his back hoping to calm him down a little bit. "I-I j-just want to be n-n-normal... to be real..." he sounded so broken, so tired and sad.
