My heart jumps to my throat when I catch a familiar scent. 
Why does it appear around me so often these days? 
I turn around looking for the owner frantically but I can't spot them. 
-
"How do you know me?" 
"How can I not?" 
"You're quite popular, I'm not, so I had no idea you'd be into me." 
"I'm not into you. I just like making friends." 
"Yeah sure, like you haven't been practically undressing me with your eyes." 
"I have not been doing that!"

"Mia, I told you I was scared. I don't know what to do now!" Jim yells sliding down on the door of my house. 


"H-He said it was a 80% chance of finding no solution but we still have 20% hope. Don't be like that, I'm scared too." I say trying my best to hold my tears back from falling. 


I can't believe this is happening. I don't wanna believe this is happening. 


"Come here Jimie", I pull him into a tight hug and he bursts into tears. I can't bear to see him like this. 


"Everything's gonna be okay, right?" He asks wrapping his arms tightly around my waist and I shake my head to myself. Nothing is gonna be the same now. I'm not gonna be the same, he's not gonna be the same. The world isn't gonna be the same to me anymore. 


"Everything will be alright as long as I'm here with you."
