Mysty's POV

"How long has it been?"

"Around a few hours."

"The fuck!" He grumbled through the phone and looked around. He was alert of his surroundings and didn't want anyone to listen. " Why didn't you tell me any sooner. Tomorrow is Haze's birthday and you know how much special it is to us."

" I know. I know. I was a little...busy." Marcus said in low tone and he could hear Storm groaning at the other end. "What will you do now?"

"I don't fucking know! I had this whole thing planned and now it's going to be ruined because of her."

Storm groaned again and sat on the bed, looking at the rooms door time to time for any sign of Haze. He dont want Haze to know about them yet. He's scared.

He know they can openly date after the truth is out, but didn't want to break the reality that Haze is living in now.

He don't know how Haze will be affected or how he'll behave.

" Can't you go somewhere else? Like another country or any other place?" Marcus suggested and Storm sighed loudly and stood up from the bed. He was getting restless.

" I can. But he'll ask where we are going or the reason for it. I don't want to lie to him anymore."

" Then tell him the truth." Marcus said and Storm started to think about the option only to be met by fear of loosing Haze. " Storm. You can't stop her from meeting Haze. You know yourself how she is. She hates him and God knows what she'll do after she meet Haze. It'll be bad if she tells him everything."

" Storm. Who are you talking to?"

" I talk to you later." He said and hurriedly ended the call and turned to meet Haze standing at the door. "It was Marcus."

"Is it about work? Are we going back?"

Storm could see Haze's expression sadden and he knew if he take Haze back , he'll be ruining his birthday.

But he had no choice.

"It wasn't about work. But-" Storm started and licked his lips , suddenly feeling the dryness. "We have to go."

And that was the moment Storm knew he hurt Haze in the most worst way possible.

"When do we start packing?"

"Now."

"Hmm. I'll - I'll get the bags ready."

"Pack something light. I'll ask someone to send the rest of our stuff later."

" Okay."

As Haze turned to pack his bags, Storm left the room. He wasn't able to see the tears falling from Haze's yes but he knew he was crying.

" I'll make it up to you. I promise."

Louise was grumbling and working on his math homework as his mother watched him looking between his paper and phone again and again.

This morning when he came home, both of his parents were angry at him for spending a night out at some friend's place. It was around 10 pm when they received the message that he's not coming home.

Knowing Louise better than anyone, his Maa noticed the changes in his behaviour. He was starting to break house rules and most of the time is always late at both, coming home and telling them he wasn't coming home.

What more scared her was the fact that she doesn't know any of his friends except for Haze.

And all she could think of was....

Him being in a relationship with Haze and spending time with him.

She was happy for her son that he has moved on but she wasn't happy about him giving them scares everytime he does this sort of things.

Suddenly she heard a notification ring and watched her son picking up his phone him hurry. She saw the shocked look on his face but when he smiled, she smiled as well.

"Is that you friend you had stay over with?"

"Huh?" Louise was startled by her voice and wasn't able to find the right answer, should he tell her everything like he does everytime. And he chose against it. "Yeah."

"Do I know him?"

"Umm - no"

"Do you like him?"

"Maa!"

Louise blushed at his mother's question and decided to leave her alone at the living room. He didn't want to tell her more and he knew if he had stayed longer, he would spilling everything.

Entering his room, he placed his homework at his desk and called the number of the person that has just given him a shock.

"Hey tiger."

"Don't,'Hey tiger' me. And tell me what do you mean by a date?!" He whisper shouted and looked at his rooms door that was left ajar and went to shut it in a hurry.

"It meant what I said. Go on a date with me."

Louise had a smile on his face but he composed himself and replied to Marcus.

"No. My mother already thinks I'm seeing someone and I don't want to confirm her suspicion when it's not true."

"Is that so? So...how about you come over at my place or I come over to your place and take you with me?"

The older suggested and the younger's eyes widen. He wouldn't do that, right?

"The date's today?"

"Yes tiger. So .you wanna come or should I pick you up?"

Louise thought about it for while. He knows that Marcus is capable of doing as he said and he don't want it to happen.

He answered the guy quickly and ended the call.

Now was time to panic and he was now in conflicted state of mind. What will he tell his mom? Should he even tell her? He also have the window option.

But this time he sighed loudly and walked out of his room to the living room.

The things he do for the "asshole" .
