I meet him at the right time. Or a completely wrong one, depending on the perspective you look from.
I am not the one to fall head over heels in love with someone and he is not the guy someone should even fall in love with.
But there are all the wit...

I call Harper from Fai's phone, sitting on his bed while he's drawing in the kitchen. I don't know if she'll answer when she'll see the unknown number.
I wait, letting it ring and, staring at the dark TV screen until I hear her reluctant voice. "Hello?" she asks carefully.
"Harp, it's me," I say.
There's a pause. And then, "Kadie?" she sounds hopeful. "What happened? Where are you? I've been trying to reach you for days!"
I grimace. I don't want to tell her, but she has to know. Especially if she decided to have this life, too. With Jon. "I don't know how to say this any differently, but I was kidnapped. For three days. Fai saved me and I'm here now."
I hear a gasp. "Kidnapped," she repeats, her voice faint. "Oh, my God. Kadie. Oh, my God," she panics.
"I'm okay, Harp. I'm all good now. I wasn't careful and they just wanted to get to Fai through me, but they didn't do anything."
"You got kidnapped and I didn't even know! I thought ... I thought you weren't answering your phone because you were with Fai. I should've known something happened."
I sit up on the bed. "Harp, shut up. This is not your fault, really. I promise I'm alright. I'll stay with Fai for a few days just to be safe and to keep you safe, okay?" It's mostly because I don't want her to accidentally see my bruises.
"Kadie," she says weakly and I know she's struggling to find words to say to me. I also know she wants to say something I won't like to hear, so I cut her off.
"I know what I'm doing. Just take care of yourself and I'll see you in a few days. Oh, and save this number, I'll call you from Fai's phone until I get myself a new one."
"I have so many questions, you can't just leave me hanging!" Harper says and I hear her sniff. Oh, boy. She's probably also scared that something will happen to her, too.
