"Pick!" Pick's mother calls. Pick walks downstairs.

"Yes?" He asked

"Lily is here" he smiles and walks to her.

"Hello Lily."

"Hello pick." The two walk upstairs.

As the two were about to walk up another knock appears.

"I'll get the door." Lily says and head to the door.

Rome mother and father appear. Pick was a bit confused on why Rome was not with them.

"And Rome? Where is he?" Pick asked

"Oh Rome he went to hang out with a friend." She smiles. To say pick didn't feel anything would be a lie, he felt weird but just shrugged it off.

"Oh okay. Let's go lily" the two walk upstairs.

"How's Rome in school?" Pick's mother asked

"Better, I still can't believe he was able to skip a grade" she giggles a little

"So who is Rome with?" Her best friend asked full with curiosity.

"A friend named kao I think it was" she smiled

"When did you guys arrive?" A new voice joined in.

"Hello, honey" pick's mother says. The two smile and hug.

"I'm making dinner now so let's all sit" pick's mother said.

(　т ̫ т)♡

"What's wrong pick?" Lily asked once the two reached upstairs

"I miss Rome." He said softly.

"So do I!!! I haven't seen that munchkin in forever." She said. Pick smiled, Rome really was a cute munchkin

(　т ̫ т)♡

"Rome stop that!!!" Kao yelled.

"But but....I want to add glitter" kao smiled so big

"You Can but don't put so so much." He giggled.

"Fine" Rome said then kao started walking upstairs and Rome put all the glitter on their project.

(　т ̫ т)♡

"Dinner kids!" Rome's mother yells from below, Lily and pick walk downstairs.

"When is Rome coming?" Lily asked, pick listened closely as he got a plate of food.

"Rome is going to spend the night at kao's house."

"Who's kao?" Pick asked, trying his hardest to stay calm, he was jealous that Rome would be sleeping in bed with another person.

"Kao is one of Rome's classmates, he is also the one Rome is with right now." To say pick wasn't mad would be an understatement

"But doesn't he have school tomorrow? What if kao wakes up late and Rome can't go to school?" The parents chuckle a little at how possessive pick is.

"Pick why are you so worried? I heard kao is a good guy." Lily said

"I'm not worried! I'm just looking out for Rome!" Pick rejected the comment quickly.

"Sure" Lily says under her breathe.

"I'm no longer hungry, I'm going to my room" pick says and walks upstairs.

"Why is he so mad? It's true what I said he shouldn't be so worried about Rome. He's always so worried about Rome." Lily says a little angry and confused

"Don't worry, pick is just a bit upset." Pick's mother says, while looking upstairs.

Upset.

The rest eat and after dinner lily heads home.

"We should be going, I have work early in the morning." Rome's father says.

Knock knock knock

"Come in" pick says. Pick's mother walks inside.

"What happened back there?" She asked in her soft voice, which would always make pick feel relaxed and safe.

"Nothing, I don't know what you're talking about..." pick said trying not to show any sign of lying in his voice. In reality pick didn't know why he was so mad about Rome, but he was in a way.

"Pick, you know exactly what I am talking about." He sighed

"I know.....I lost my self back there, I don't know why....I always am with Rome and well today I just really missed him. I don't know why but I do, I miss his soft smile, button nose I miss his soft giggle and his smooth cheeks, I miss him in general" pick said with a smile, imagining Rome.

"Oh honey" she hugs pick and he hugs her back.

"Do you like anyone?" She asked pick was a bit confused but shook his head then said no.

"Are you sure?" She asked again but a bit more strictly

"I don't like anyone. I mean there are girls who like me but I don't like them. Should I?" Pick asked confused

"Do you ever feel happy, really happy when your with someone, like you want to hug them and never let go. Maybe even kiss them? Keep them in your arms. Hold them until you two are asleep or just spend time with them?" Pick was quiet, he let his mind drift as he thought if he ever felt that way. Then one name came to mind

Rome.
