Please check the author's note at the end of the chapter. There's some pretty important info there :)

---------------------------------------

It's been three weeks.

Three weeks.
Since a life ended.

And two week since this happened:

I wait for any sign of Brie on the screen, who went to get some water for herself.

I read the last text I sent to Mason, again:
Nobody hates you and you're not going to break, I promise. Just please go back to Kevin and Brie, they need you and you need them.

"I'm back" Brie sits down, drinking her water.
The poor kid's face is all red from crying and her eyes are puffy.

Soon, the doorbell rings and she creases her brows
"We're not expecting anyone" she frowns.

I watch as she gets up and answers the door.

I gasp and so does she.
Mason's puffy face is quite clear.
He drops to his knees in front of his sister, sobbing

She crouches in front of him too, hugging her brother and crying.

My tears, as usual, begin to flow too.

"I'm so sorry. I'm terrible" he hugs her as if his life depends on it.

"Sssh" she wipes his tears "Its okay, you're here now" they hug again and I feel like Brie is the older sibling here.

I shut my laptop, something inside me eases.

He may not be with me, but he is where he needs to be.

I wipe another tear, trying to console this stupid love sick heart of mine.

-----------------------

My eyes slowly adjust themselves to the sunshine. My eyes flutter open to see the dirt particles dancing in the sun and I check my phone to see if I have a message from Mason.

He hasn't talked to me since he came back and I'm assuming he's mad at me.
However, Brie tells me that he rarely comes out of his room and spends most of his time crying.

Every time I hear anything about him crying, my heart squeezes itself and I want to run to him.
Just so I can wipe his tears and take him in my arms for as long as he wants.

-------------------

God, it's been a very stressful day.
I have tons of work to do and I have tons of shows to watch.

I can't miss out on any of the new episodes, now can I?
That would be plain ridiculous.

"Amna. Come downstairs you nerd" Rose shouts

"Coming" I shout back.

I could really use a break from all this stuff.
Plus, I have to put the heels on the shoe I made for my assignment.

Go shoe designing!
Please notice the sarcasm

"Dude I'm freaking exhausted" I huff and plop down on the couch, welcoming its warmth and sniffing the beautiful scent that is of spaghetti.

"I thought it was my turn to cook" I looked at them wide-eyed.
Totally forgetting that.

"Yeah it's okay. You're cooking the whole next week" Kim says and I groan.

"Hey when is your next date with Kurt" I look at Kim

"Tomorrow" she says "and I'm not nervous at all. We're both going to wear our cartoon t-shirts and then go do random stuff" she smiles

"I'm happy for you" I smile back.

"And what about you missy? Where's your love life hanging ever since you broke up with that jerk?" I look at Rose and chuckle as she creased her eyebrows and frowns

"Practically nowhere at all. This guy asked me out the other day but I haven't heard from him since" she looks at me

"Aww honey it'll be okay" I console her

"Your turn" Kim says and I sigh again

"Haven't heard from him ever since. I don't even know what is happening. I don't even know why I'm so afraid of telling him everything. Trust me it's a mess up there" I point to my brain and we all laugh.

"Well, how about we see from the 'list'" Kim suggests

"Oh no no no" I shake my head

The 'list' is basically something the three of us made. It's a list of the things we want in our significant other

"Your love life is going better than me. You do it" I say to Kim

"We'll do mine after we do yours. I promise" she extends her pinky and I groan, preparing myself for my doom.

She hurries up to my room and gets my list.
I sigh again

"So.." she starts and Rose chuckles at my expression

"Smells good" Kim starts with the first point

"Check" I answer without hesitation

"Perfect teeth"

"Check"

Then I hear her chuckle and I remember the next point, laughing to myself.
Fate!

"Preferably has an English accent" Kim says and all of us laugh

"Check"

"We're going deep here" Rose says, looking at the list

"Understands my past"

"Check"

"Respects me"

"Check"

"Takes my breath away"

"Check"

"Forget his facial features, he should show me that he loves me"

"Check" I say again.

Why isn't he here by the way?

"Has a sense of humor"

"Check"

"Can sing cute ed Sheeran songs to me"

"Check"

"Doesn't have an ego"

"Don't check that"

"Doesn't annoy me"

"Don't check that either. He definitely annoys me" I grin

"Amazing height difference. Like shailene and ansel"

"Check"

"Is level-headed"

"Definitely not"

Just then, somebody rings the door bell and we all give each other confused looks.

"Hey there is still one point left!" Kim exclaims

"Tell me on the way to the door" I say before I get up to see who's there.

Out of the corner of my eye I can see that Rose picking up a stick, in case it's a robber or something.

"For God's sake, Rose. It's okay. I'm sure a robber wouldn't have the decency to ring the doorbell" I look at her and she rolls her eyes

"Hey I'm not taking any chances. You guys die if you want to. I'm too young to die" Rose says, looking a lot like Hanna Marin.

"Doesn't fail to-" Kim begins as I swiftly unlock the door
"-surprise me" Kim finishes, her jaw dropping

And here he is, in all his flesh.

"Check"
