Alexa's POV I fell asleep not long after Calan left my room. I know i wasnt exactly feeling better about what had happened earlier but i felt a little uplifted; i felt lighter knowing he didnt see me as a burden, i felt better knowing he actually wanted me in his future. I dont know for how long I slept for, but when i woke up i felt like i had been trampled upon by a mob of angry protesters. I had pulled myself together and gone to the bathroom to shower, and when i was finally done i headed downstairs to find Calan. I found him in his study on the phone, and because i didng want to interrupt him i stood by the door and waited. "I dont care". He was saying, his voice was low....upset. "It's not about paying a fine, Layla can take care of that, i want her sanity tested". She knew he was talking about Leela, and truly, she was tired of the whole Leela thing. "Just find a way of getting it done....". She let out a breath before stepping into the study fully to get his attention,

She sat there staring at him, her smile still in place: it wasn't difficult to see the clear adoration in her eyes. "You should never have stopped playing". She told him. It was so very clear that he loved to play, it was clear that it calmed him, gave him a sense of peace. His gaze flickered from hers to the piano and then back again. "It truly wasnt easy to not stopped playing". He told her. He let out a heavy breath. "My father thought me how to play, and when things became.....uneasy between him and i, i sort of just started getting detached from playing". She averted her gaze from his, his eyes seemed to sad. "And when he....". She said quietly. She couldnt complete what she wanted to say but he understood her, and he nodded. "I stopped playing all together". He said. And her gaze flickered back to his. "I'm sorry". She said quietly. He shook his head. "I was trying to cheer you up". He said before clearing his throat. "Lets not get distracted". And she pulled on th

THIRD PERSON'S POV Alexa fingers fumbled absentmindedly with the keys of the piano in Calan's room. She stared blankly at nothing in particular as she ran her fingers over the keys again and again while Calan sat by the other end going over some work on his MacBook. He had somehow managed to block out the sound of the distorted piece Alexa was playing. It had been a few hours since they returned from dinner with Micheal and April, and Alexa seemed to have to been distracted by what ever thought she had been having. She had been that way since she returned from the restroom with April, but she didn't seem sad or upset so he simply let the matter be. 'You think we did the right thing letting them go?'. He had asked Micheal when Alexa had left with April to the restroom. She had after all, told him that she believed April was mad at her, and they both knew how April could be from time to time. 'Yeah. They obviously need to talk things out'. Micheal had replied. 'That's not what

Third person's POV Alexa gently bushed her fingers through Calan's hair as she stared ahead blankly. They had showered, had breakfast and returned upstairs so Calan could get some sleep, he had told her to go shopping or something while he took a nap but she had insisted on staying with him. "You'll have something to post on your timeline". He had told her. "I don't care about my stupid timeline". She had replied. And he had sighed resignedly. "What will you do while I'm asleep then?". He had asked her. She hadn't needed to think much before replying. "I'll stay with you and watch over you". She had said. And here she was. He had laid his head on her lap and she had brushed her fingers through his hair every now and then. She knew that worrying would truly do nothing but she couldnt help it. He had barely eaten during breakfast and he still had a slight fever, she was resisting the urge to call Dr. Waltz. However, she knew she tended to be overdramatic sometimes, and so she

Third person’s POV The cold water enveloped her foot first as she dipped it into the water, it sent a shiver down her spine and caused her heart to race.“Come on”. Calan coaxed. She let the water envelope most of her body as she lowered herself into the pool fully. To says he felt uncoordinated and awkward would be a serious understatement really; it was weird just floating there while trying to tentatively move her legs in strokes. She liked the feeling though, she liked how the cool water felt against her skin, she liked how it just seemed to make room for her as she went deeper. “It’s not so bad, is it?”. He asked her as she gripped his hands tightly. She shook her head. It actually wasn’t, just long as her head didn’t go underneath. “No, not at all”. She replied. “It’s…..exhilarating”. He chuckled while nodding agreeingly. “You’ll find it even more exhilarating if you didn’t have to hold my hands so tightly”. He told her. She looked down at her hands which were holding
