Ring, ring and he answered, "Hey! What's going on, is something wrong? Why are you still awake?". "Hmmm, I.... am.... in someone else's condominium... and... I... don't know how to go home.", I cried. " What the? Tell me what happened, Rexandria!! Please! Tell me where you are and I am going to fetch you right now!!". Did I make him worry? But why did it feel good? "Hmmm.. I... I don't want to cause you any trouble... I... I am feeling a lot better now because you answered my call.. and I get to hear your voice and that you... are concerned? So I think.... I'll figure it out on my own. Thanks anyway!". Hearing his voice, I felt safe already, I should let him know that. "But, Rexandria! Are you out of your mind? How can you trust a guy so much that you even went to his condominium and put yourself in danger? Who's the guy? I am not letting this slide. Are you sure you won't need me there?". I really want you here but, " Yes to both of your question, Ryke! I am out of my mind. I am out of it ever since you stopped talking to me. Remember? I don't know what exactly happened to you but this happened because of you. You know what, let's talk about it later. I'll call you, promise me you'll be there for me?".

"I promise." And I held on to that, and because of his answer, my fear has gone.
