“Myle? Who…”

OH MY GOD! IM DONE FOR! I’M SCREWED, GOODBYE FREEDOM, GOODBYE LUKE, GOODBYE FREEDOM!!

“Who left the TV remote on the floor? I almost stepped on it!” Mom exclaimed,

I’M DEAD! I’M DEAD! I’M REALLY, REALLY DEAD!

“Wait! What?” I asked again,

“I said! Who left the TV remote on the floor, I almost stepped on it!” mom repeated walking towards my direction while holding the TV remote,

I walked towards the living room and searched the entire room. THERE IS NO SIGN OF LUKE!

OH MY GOD! WHERE COULD HE BE?

“So, as I was saying…” Mum started making my ship land back to Earth, “What’s wrong?” She asked, she must’ve sense that I’m a bit off.

“No..nothing, what was it your saying, mom?”

“Do you have anything to say? I mean, tell me what happened when I was gone.”

“Nothing special happened, mom. Just that Ronnie and Helen always slept here because they’re worried for me. That’s all”

“Really?”

“Yeah, and we met a new friend, Ella”

“Ella? Where is she from?”

“She’s from the same school as me and the girls but a different section.”

“I see, so are you okay? I’m sorry if I wasn’t here with you for the past few days, sweetie”

“It’s okay, mom. I understand.”

It was silent for a moment; I really need to know where Luke is at the moment.

“So…Mom, can I go now?” I asked, breaking the ice.

She nodded.

I hurriedly open the front door and went out of the sidewalk and grabbed my phone and quickly dialed Luke’s phone number,

I waited for him to pick his phone up when I heard his ringtone.

He was standing behind me, trying to smile but he looks like he’s in pain!

“Oh my god!” I exclaimed and hugged him tightly,

He embraced me and patted my head,

I escaped from his grip after awhile and stared at his eyes, I can sense that there’s something wrong.

“Are you okay?”

“Yeah, I’m good”

“I know you’re not, what happened? How’d you got out?”

“I jumped out the window”

“And then?”

“Nothing.. I’m okay”

“I know you’re not” I exclaimed worriedly and tightly rubbed his shoulder

He cringed,

“Why?”

“N-nothing!” he insisted,

I didn’t believe him. I noticed that he’s holding a part of his upper arm so, I rolled up his sleeves, and I saw a nasty cut on it and it’s bleeding, badly!

“Luke, oh my god! That’s definitely not ‘nothing’” I exclaimed almost shouting, “What happened to you?”

“I-I had a bad landing when I jumped out of the window” he admitted
