I pushed his chest gently.
"Ford?"
He looks at me intensely.
"Why are you acting like this?"
"Haven... I have something to say to you. Let's meet tomorrow 8:30 at central mall."
Is this another date?
"O-ok."
He grabs my face, and kisses my forehead. He lets go gently then walks out the kitchen, and I just stood there frozen.
I still felt the feeling of his lips on my forehead. I touched my forehead, and smiled. I took the tea, and gave it to Ford who was sitting on the couch.
I sat next to him. I usually feel uncomfortable if I sit next to someone, but if it's Ford. I feel peaceful, safe, and comfortable.
"Y'know you don't have to be so quiet around me, right?"
"Excuse me, who's the one who hugged and Kissed me?"
He giggles, and pats my head.
I laugh "What are you doing now?"
He stops patting my head, and leans on my shoulder. When I had the chance, I kissed his head.
I noticed his ears were red, and he didn't refuse my kiss. This making me even more curious.
"Do you love me?" I asked him
"I'll let you know someday."
Someday?! What do you mean someday?!
"Okay"
"Haven..."
"Y-Yeah?"
"You smell like dog and feet."
I blush intensely from embarrassed, and I slapped him.
When I hit him, he just started laughing.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!! I'm gonna go take a bath, and you stay here!!"
"Okay~ I promise I won't peek~"
"PErVert! I didn't even mention peeking!!! I lock the door anyways!"
I left him alone there, and took a shower.

Fords P.O.V.

As soon as she left the living room, and heard the door close. I jumped from joy!
"I can't believe this is going well!" I whispered.
I noticed she's very cute when she gets angry, I should make her mad more often.
I sat back down on the couch to stay prepared.
How should I pose? Maybe I Should cross my legs, and look at the tv like I'm looking at piece of art.

Havens P.O.V.

I went back out the bathroom to check him out. When I peeked, I saw him jumping and whispering to himself. Then he suddenly sat down, and watched the tv with a stupid looking face.
I giggle "pfft idiot" I whispered.

I actually took a bath and changed. When I went to the living room, I saw Ford carrying Penji.

"What's wrong?"
"Haven, Penji seems very sick. We need to get him to the hospital."
I checked Penji, he looked exhausted and dull. He can't even stand.
Ford and I went to my car, and drove to the vet clinic.

ALIS P.O.V.

I sit on the bench at the park. You must be wondering how I ended up here. Well, I ran out the window as soon as Haven opened the door. It's only the 3rd floor so it was safe to jump. Although, I do think I broke a rib or two.
I stood up and walked around. When I looked at the cars passing by, I saw a car which appears to look a lot like Havens truck.
I squint to check inside, I saw Haven and Ford.
"Where are they going?"
They drove pretty fast, I wonder what's the hurry.
Could it be they're going to a hotel... and... no no... I should trust Haven, she wouldn't do that. Would she?
"ALI HEY!!!"
I turned to see who called me. Oh, it's Jae and his boyfriend.
"Hey, guys! How you guys doing?"
"We're doing GREAT, we're going to the apartment to get my stuff" Jae said happily with Yuros arm around him. 
I smiled
"Haven is out so I'll guide you to the apartment"
Yuro replies "sounds good, let's go"

Havens P.O.V.

When we reached the Vet clinic, we checked in the front. When we finished checking in, We sat on the chairs to wait. Ford had Penji in his arms, and I kept petting Penji so that he feels safe.
Ford asked "what do you think is wrong?"
"I don't know, that's why we're here."
"maybe Penji is pregnant?!"
"Ford, Penji is a boy. It's not the right time to be joking around right now, I'm worried about Penji."
Fords smile dulled down, and leaned on my shoulder.
"Sorry, I don't like it when you look so sad."
I replied back "I don't like it either."
I leaned on him too, feeling safer.

The Doctor finally came out "Charles?"
"That's us" I said.
The doctor led us to the room so that he can check on Penji. He asked questions on how he was doing.
"Does he still have his appetite?"
"Unfortunately no." I replied
"Really now? Does he still drink water?"
"That's a no as well, doc."
"....Ok."
The room stayed quiet, Ford and I just looked at each other with concern. 5 mins later, the doctor checks Penji. He checked his heartbeat, Ears, nose, and everything.
"Ok, I see what's happening now."
"What is it?" Ford asked
"Firstly, please stay calm.... it's not good news. Your dog is very ill, and it's not really curable. Which means you'll have to put your dog down, but it is your choice."
"By d-down, you mean like Euthanasia?"
"Yes, your dog has lived a long life... I believe your dog is saying it's time to go"
I look at penjis tired eyes, and being his owner for more than 15 years. I can read his expression. He wants me to not worry about him, and that he wants me let go.
When I blink, tears begin to fall out. I hug Penji tightly, and Ford comforted me by patting my back.
The doctor left to give us some privacy and thoughts.
"Penji, I love you."
I carried Penji, and Penji started Licking my tears.
Ford asked "so what are you gonna do?"
"If Penji wants to go... then I guess it's time to let him go..."
"H-Haven, are you sure?"
"Yes, i Made my decision. We will do it tomorrow."
I turned away from Ford. He then hugs me from behind with Penji in my arms.

Without Penji, I will feel loneliness... nothing, but darkness.
