**Gun's POV**

It's been a little over 3 and half months since I left school and started doing online classes. 

After everything that happened with Off I wasn't able to stomach going back to school. I didn't want to see any of my friends, I didn't want to see Off and I especially did not want to see Tul or Earth. I was afraid that If I went back, they would try to find me again and make things even harder for me.

Yes, I know that what I've been doing is hiding away from my problems but what else am I supposed to do? 

I mean it probably doesn't help that I had turned off my phone the minute I got here. The last person I talked to was Perth and that was a few days ago. He sounded a little stressed but he wouldn't tell me what's wrong. 

He allowed me to tell him everything and promised that he would speak to Off for me but I don't think Off will listen he's kind of stubborn...

It just hurts every time I think about the last thing he said to me...

"To think that I was actually considering dating you for real."

I couldn't sleep the first two weeks. 

All I wanted was to be with him and my past had come back to haunt me... 

Maybe I deserve to not be happy. I had caused so many people pain by sleeping around... 

I just never found anyone that I truly cared about before...

Now that I have, he wants nothing to do with me.

I groan at my own thoughts and roll out of bed to go down stairs to find some breakfast. Here goes another day of waiting for absolutely nothing.

Let's see, I think I'm going to eat and then do some homework. After that I might go to the market and look around. 

Thankfully nobody I really know lives around here.

I go to grab my phone but then think otherwise and put it back. I don't think I want to actually turn that on yet. I'm just not ready yet...

Walking over to my closet, I pull out the hoodie that Off had accidently put into the bag and pull it on. It's the only thing I have of his and I don't have the heart to throw it away.

Finally ready to say hi to the rest of my family, I trudge down the stairs and walk to the kitchen without looking at everyone who was sitting in the living room.

Mom: Calling from the living room. "Gun sweetie you have a visitor."

Gun: I pull out a carton of orange juice . "Mom, I don't really want to see anyone right now. Can you ask them to go home?"

Off: "Gun?"

I whirl around feeling panicked and accidently drop the orange juice cartoon.

What the fuck is his doing here?...

Then I look down at myself and realize that I'm wearing his hoodie.

Shit...

He must have realized that he put his jacket in my bag.

Gun: I try to step back as much as I could in the kitchen. "I won't give it back... Please just let me keep it... Please..."

Off: He walks up to me and reaches out towards my cheek as I flinch against his touch. "Gun... I'm sorry..." He pulls me into a death grip hug. "I'm so sorry... "

Not being able to comprehend what's going on I just stand there dumb founded with my arms down at my sides realizing that my mom and sister are just staring at us.
