Everyone is afraid of dying alone. Or being alone forever. Everyone wants a someone.

"Oh I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there. I'm so sorry." I quickly wipe away my tears and pick up my stuff. I don't even notice that I've badly skimmed my knees. "Are you okay?" I ask in concern when I look up, but abruptly freeze when I see who it is.

"No worries. Are you alright? Did you get those cuts from the fall?" The supposedly dangerous, Orion, softly asks me. My eyes widen and I quickly remember that I have a bad cut on my cheekbone and lip.

"Fine." I murmur before I run away as fast as I can. I can feel his eyes on me as I run. Then I hear the sound of feet running after me.
