*BRYANS POV*

I woke up at exactly 6 in the morning (my usual morning routine), got up from bed and I hit the showers. I let the hot water hit my body cause it reminds me there are other things that hurts more than what I've been through.

I got out of the shower after brushing my teeth, dried my body out and put on a pair of blue jean shorts and a black hoodie. It was time for my morning run but before I went got out I had this strange urge to text mystery girl, at least some simple words to brighten up her day a bit.

So I took out my phone, opened the POPit app and texted her

Bryan: Its easier to smile and pretend everything is okay but it's better to be happy and really be okay. You'll get through it eventually. I hope you have a good day.

I hope that made sense cause that's all I could think about at the moment. I shuffled through my playlist stuck my earphones in and my morning run began.

After running for about an hour and a half I hit the gym for my regular Saturday workout (it's so hard keeping fit). Did my reps and after an extra hour I was finally done and now I'm hungry. Might as well hit a cafe and enjoy the rest of the morning before I head back to my dorm room.

I finally got back to my room and seeing how it looked in broad day light made me realize " I SERIOUSLY NEEDED TO CLEAN THIS PLACE UP"

"You're such a lazy slob" I heard Lucas call out from behind me

"Shut up dude, I was just about to start cleaning" I responded

"Well then get to it" Lucas said as he jumped on my bed and started reading a sports magazine he found on my bedside counter.

"I wasn't expecting to see you so early today" I said as I picked up the clothes on the floor

"Well I did say I'd check on you to see if you survived the night" He said "And I'm glad you're still with us" He added

"You do know you dont have to keep doing that" I said to him half smiling

"Yeah but it gives me an excuse to leave the house so it's a win for me and besides we have stuff to do today" He said tossing the magazine back on the counter

"Thanks dude" I said knowing he won't let me win this one

We spent the next 20mins in silence cleaning up the room until he finally broke the silence

"So did you open an account on POPit last night?" He asked as he took the large black paper bag to the entrance of the room

"Yeah and I got matched with someone rather peculiar" I told him while reaching for my phone

I picked up my phone and showed him mystery girl's profile picture and I could tell he was having his usual player thoughts running in his head..

"Snap out of it nimrod" I slapped the back of his head

"Ouch!" He exclaimed "That hurt man" he added while rubbing the back of his head

"I know that's why I did it" I said laughing

"So what's her name" He asked me after he finished rubbing his head

"I have no idea" I told him "we didnt talk long enough to get that info" I said

"I see you didnt have the balls to speak to her" he said laughing.

"I'll kill you in your sleep luke" I threatened holding up a pillow "better sleep with one eye open" I added with an evil grin on my face
