We are simply walking out of the Casino, Jack seemed distant to me. I didn't knew what to say to him. Thank you? Sorry for the mess? Your smile is heart warming? Oh no definitely not the last one. He started his bike and motioned me to sit on it. I asked for a copy of hard disk, he nodded. I was disappointed due to his silence. He started to drive, my hair flying hurriedly in a very unwanted way.

I took out a rubber band and started making a bun looking at the long dark road, then like that my eyes went to the mirror of the bike. Jack was looking at me, and when I looked at the same direction he looked away. Why? It was a silent night, silent ride and with my awfully loud beating heart it was hard because it was cold and as much I wanted to be strong I let my guard down and held him.

We reached to Seth's apartment, as I lead him.

"What happened? I'm sorry if it was because of something I-

He shook his head " No it's not you, it's me. Good night Edla"

With that he went. I kept looking at the end of the road, he was out of the sight but not out of my mind. I witnessed a whole different Jack today, bold one but I don't like him that way. I hate to mention but his Nerdy side is very much preferable for me. I am afraid of my breakdown, did he think that I'm too pathetic to bear? I don't know anymore about anything.

I took out my keys and tip toed till Debbie and my room but I stopped outside it because I could hear sound. She was crying. Oh no I felt so feeble that I cannot do anything to make her feel good at all. She would never cry in front of me thinking she's bothering me but that's not at true. I just opened the door without second thought and saw her in such a mess with the photographes of them on her lap and tears in her eyes.

I locked the door and went to her and hugged her. I don't know what to say, I don't know if any words are gonna do magic but crying together will sure do. She was whimpering like a kid, I hugged her tighter and rubbed her back slowly. I didn't knew when but my eyes stung too and was in a pool tears with her.

It was morning already, we never know when we cried ourselves to sleep. She was still sleeping I didn't wake her up and went to do the regular and get ready for the small editor job I have. It was a decent job with decent people. I always wanted to be the editor for the crime section but I think I lack the crime passion. I went inside the kitchen and saw Percia on the kitchen top while they were making out with nagging voices.

Oops another wrong timing. Then I cleared my throat and they both split up as if struck by lightning. I laughed at that and made myself comfortable at the chair beside the counter with some Cereal.

"Its you" Percia said with worry

"Why?" I asked while eating

"Because maybe she doesn't want to show off her Perfect relationship in front of me" I heard a distant voice of Debbie

What are they talking about? I didn't like the sound of that at all. Percia stiffened listening to Debbie's voice even Seth looked worried but when I looked at Debbie, she was irritated and weak. How long was I away by the way?

"What happened guys?" I asked in that little voice of mine

"Ask the love birds!" Debbie said and went to Washroom

I looked at both of them with questioning eyes and they both sighed.

"See Ed, we didn't do anything I swear. We were just being ourselves is it wrong? I just want to be with Seth till when I can because I don't know when we will have to go back again. You weren't doing any job there but here you got a good job, you would want to stay and I won't stop you but what about me?

What will I do when my parents and my brother are back from their trip? I'll have to go back, as much- as much as I want Seth to be by my side I don't know if I will ever have the chance again. I was just trying to spend all the good time I can"

A door shut

"Yeah right!" Debbie scoffed

Percia is right, I know her family they're free minded a lot but still they will never allow her to have a love marriage after all this 'Rikki thing' she haven't gone home yet, she could just stay here with Seth forever but Seth wants her to have a normal life like before. They were in the last moment, you the time when you know you have less time and you just know you aren't gonna meet again but you don't care you just utilize every single second and just try to pacify yourself.

I can understand Debbie's problem too, I mean they both knew each other from such a long time but were in relationship for such a short period I can understand how she feels looking at them together, she isn't jealous she just miss their moments. My thoughts were interrupted by their loud bantering. They began arguing, Seth was standing aside his face etched with worry and here I was not at all participating in their argument so I tried to say...

"Guys please let's not argue with each other. Please try to understand each other's problems yo-

"Oh please Edla you don't come in between you don't know anything about this"

"Yeah you wouldn't understand!"

Why? Just because I'm single, just because I haven't had any love related relationship except crush? I wanted to make both of them understand but they weren't even letting me talk, I was definitely hurt by what she said but right now I should solve their problem.
