Shawn's POV

I wasn't sleepy nor tired the whole night. I haven't done anything to tire me today so that maybe the reason. My mind was full of new music as well. New melodies and lyrics. I have to repeat all of these in my head since I can't record and write them.

But maybe because of a lot of things I have in my mind, I got tired of it and slept.

I had a dream. It was about my everyday life. I would write and record songs with my friends, Andrew updates me about the things I need to do and the concerts where I feel pure happiness.

I woke up from that dream and I  missed the normal in my life so much. 

I heard a knock on my door then it opens as a silhouette comes in. They were a holding flashlight and snacks.

I realized it was Cathy as she pointed the light at me. I had to place my hand in front of me to cover from the brightness.

"Good evening." Cathy greeted.

It's the middle of the night. What is she doing here?

"Uhh hey. What are you doing here?" I asked.

"Come with me. We have to something talk about."

I furrowed my eyebrows at her. There was a chance we could get caught. A big chance that we could get caught and she's not even wearing a mask nor brought one.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, let's go. We're loosing night time." She answered without hesitation.

On the way to I don't know where, Cathy gave me a Pop Tart.

We made a turn and entered a somewhat nice room great for relaxing. It has a carpeted floor, a big couch, bean bags, and a book shelf.

I thought twice before sitting on one bean bag. Cathy sat on the other one opposite me.

"Can I ask why are we here?" I asked then biting a piece of the Pop Tart.

"I saw you were still awake. Why?" she replied, also taking a bite from her food.

"I woke up from a dream. How about you? Why are you up?"

"Hungry." She chewed on her snack. I silently chuckled.

I was halfway on my Pop Tart when I remembered the commercial I did about it. Teenage me times, haha.

"Cola... knows it," Cathy blurted.

"Knows what?"

"Our past." She ended.

Holy shit.

"Did he find out himself or did you tell him?"

Cathy thought before answering. "Both. He found out because of a camera tape. After that, I told him what was between us."

I let out a deep sigh and crumpled the plastic of the Pop Tart I once ate.

"What happens now?" I asked.

"He told me to avoid you, to not go near within a meter."

I became confused about the last part. "So why are we here together then?"

"Ok for one, we're more than a meter away and two, I need to tell you that as well. You can't come close to me and also act normal when Cola's around. He's really good at connecting one happening to another."

I understood what she meant. We're not allowed to be together starting later this day I guess. Being honest about what I feel, I'm going to miss this thing we have right now.
