She finished as a tear soon rolled down her cheeks. But this time Cole was there to wipe her tears. 

"It's okay. I got you. " Cole said quickly embracing her. 

"Now you shared it me, you'll feel light. " Cole said again, sniffing. 

"Why are you crying? " Parisa asked, rubbing her red nose, making it even redder. 

"If you're in pain, it hurts me too. I never thought it will hurt like this. " Cole said. 

Parisa looked at him blankly as he cried. 

"Yah! Stop crying. You crybaby. " Parisa said with a 'what's-wrong-with-you' look. 

"I don't even know why am I feeling like this? " Cole said clutching his heart. 

Parisa sighed as she saw him crying but she didn't know how to comfort him. She forget the thing 'comfort' a long time ago. 

"C-Can I stay here tonight? " Cole asked after handling his own self. 

"What about your house? It's just in the opposite of the streets. " She said. 

"I'm thinking of getting rid of that house. " 

"Then where you'll stay? " 

"In your house. " 

"We're not that close. " Parisa said before taking a huge bite of her cheese blast burger. 

"Please. Let me take care of you. Let me be there when you need me in the lonely night. Let me love you. I promise Imma let you get the best of me. " Cole said as Parisa choked on her burger. 

Cole quickly handed her a bottle of sprite and she gulped down. 

"Don't play with me. " 

"Play? " Cole asked. 

"There's so many girls out there. Why did you even notice a zombie like me? No one ever noticed me since then. " Parisa said taking another bite. 

"Because I lov- "

"Okay, stay the night and then go. " Parisa said getting up with her burger and sprite. 

"But I was going to say I love- "

"I know. " Parisa said before entering her room and closing her door afterwards. 

"What does he thinks of himself? Loving someone is no big deal? " She said placing her hand on her chest, which was beating fast. 

"How can someone love me so fast? Perhaps is he someone who really knows me? " She asked herself.

She closed her eyes thinking hard, enjoying her own heartbeat but she flinched when she heard a knock. 

She furrowed her eyebrows as she opened the door. 

"What? " She asked. 

"I love you. " Cole said before running of to the living room. 

She would love to chase him but she was tired. So she collapsed on her bed and prepared her for sleeping like a dead lamb.
