Canada's POV:

I can't say anything back. I need to leave. Maybe if I scare them enough, they'll leave. I started scratching the side of the stall. I heard a few footsteps shuffle to the left and rush out, and then the door open. But there was another noise. It was another person. Fuck. I stopped scratching tried to stay quiet. There was a lot of dialogue and then loud footsteps coming towards my stall.

???: "Is anyone in here?"

That was a different accent. I remained silent. Suddenly the handle started moving, and I just stared at it. I needed to do something but I don't have enough time to plan anything. That Polish voice came back.

PL: "A-actually..nevermind. I'm fine, thanks Belgium."

BE: "Hah, alright. Cya Polska."

Ah so it was Poland..he saved me. Eh. I waited for them to both leave, and then focused on getting out. I found a window, and carefully pulled it open, tossing the large bags outside, then my backpack, and then myself. It was still day time, and I needed to get back home.

USA's POV:

D-did Canada just jump out of a window? What the actual hell..I dashed out of the restroom even though I just entered. I slammed the door shut and processed what I just saw. Maybe he's..skipping school? Yeah..

I walked back to class. I guess that's another secret in the bag. I started to realize how much I know about people. A country could walk up to me, and I would probably know their name just by looking at 'em. One time during gym, a country sat next to me when we were waiting for people to get here. He started to talk to me like I was his bestest friend, and then just continued on with his day. I guess it's pretty nice to know people trust ya, huh?

Time skip to the end of school. USA is walking back home alone.

I walked slowly back home. I saw a cat on the way home. It was limping, trying to get across the street. I suddenly saw a truck driving straight forward. I quickly dashed across the street and scooped up the cat in my arms. I slightly tripped when I made it across, but it sort of helped me make it there.

US: "Holy cow...I-i just..."

I looked at the cat and cradled it in my arms. The cat was shaking and so was I.

US: "Y-you okay lil buddy?"

I checked to see if it had an owner, but there was no collar. Shit. I was never really a cat person, but I needed to take it home and make sure it's alright. I stood up and looked back at the road. My sun glasses were on the road, cracked and broken. Awh man..I walked a different way back home, too shaken and scared to go across the road.

Spain's POV:

ES: "Where is my baby?! England, WHERE IS AMERICA?! He should be home by now!!"

UK: "C-calm down, he might of took a different way back home.."

I was having a heart attack! Where was my child?! My years ruined my make-up. Suddenly the door opened!

ES: "AMERICA!!"

I showered my baby with kisses.

ES: "WHERE HAVE YOU BE- Is that a cat?!"

US: "I-I..uh..yeah."

Canada's POV:

USA's finally home, great...I wonder what took him so long. There is a lot of conversation downstairs. I opened my window and lit a cigarette. I kept a pack of it and a lighter in my desk drawer, and nobody has found out yet.. except for USA. He likes to come in here at times just to talk about things. Then I jolted at the sound of someone pounding on my door. I dropped the cigar, and it fell on the grass, outside where I buried..them...

CA: "Yes?"

ES: "Come out here and look at what America brought back home!!"

CA: "Of course"

I shut my window, and went out of my room. USA was cuddling with a little cat. One of the cat's legs seemed bruised.

UK: "So cute.."

ES: "It's adorable!!"

CA: "... it's hurt."

US: "Yeah..I don't know why though. We should take 'em to the vet tomorrow."

USA's POV:

Should I tell 'em what happened? Gosh I don't know...what if they freak out?

Canada is walking back into his room. Guess he don't like cats.

Next Monday..

I woke up extra early today, all I could think of is the cat. I quickly got dressed and did my hair. I realized how bad my hair looked. It started getting really curly and tangled..later I walked downstairs. Mom put the cat in a box, and I lifted it up and cuddled up with it. The cat woke up and started to purr.

Canada then walked downstairs. He was perfectly dressed and his hat covered his hair. How did he get ready so fast?!

US: "I-I never thought I'd say this but...wow Maple, ya look fantastic!"

CA: "Thank you!"

Did Canada just smile?! Wh- I've never seen him like this.

US: "Something's got you in a good mood today!"

CA: "Haha..yeah"

US: "Mind telling?"

CA: "I can't."

Wow as soon as I asked his expression just..changed. Anyways, we took some of Spain's money that she left on the table so we could pay for other things at the vet. Then we went outside and used our bikes to get there.

The Netherlands's POV

I woke up early, and kind of just layed there in my bed for a few seconds, clutching my pillow. I felt so tired. I decided to eventually get up. Suddenly my phone started vibrating rapidly. Notifications spammed me. But then there was one message in particular that caught my eye. It read a simple "Hello." The contact was a number I don't know. I wanted to delete the contact, but something in my gut told me that I shouldn't..
