"Apollo, what are you doing here" i asked him and while whipping the tears on my cheeks.
He closed the door behind him, he walked in in a silent while his eyes are keep looking at me. He began to sit next to me, he sits while his eyes trying to read my expression. The scents of a good expensive cologne spread around since he walked inside of this room. He slowly put his hand on my shoulder, my eyes stick with his blue eyes, i know i would drown if i keep looking at it so i look away from his mesmerizing figure.
"You okay?" He asked me and try to catch me to looking back at him.
"I'm okay" i said but my eyes are still looking around the room, not so brave enough to look into those eyes again.
"Look at me" he said then put his hand on my chin to make me looking at him, those strong stares successfully made me nervous.
"I'm okay" i said.
"It is okay to be not okay sometimes" he said then i look away, i got nervous when i look into someone else's eyes especially him.
My heart beats seems beating faster when he looks at me, i feel like it has its own meaning when he looks at me like that.
I look into the pictures on the bug screen in front of of us, I paused the video when the door was being opened by him, which shows the picture of my grandpa and i. He does the same thing as i do, he looks up into the big screen and recognize that girl who's wearing a purple sweater is me.
"Is that you?" He asked me and i can see his lips curled from the corner of my eyes.
I nodded,
"And that's your grandpa?" He suddenly asked.
"Yeah" i said with a low voice.
He looks at me but my eyes keep looking straight to the screen,
"He looks great and kind" he said.
"He really is" i said.
"Who is he to you?" He asked in a dark silent around us.
"He's" i said and stop for a second while looking deep into my grandpa's blue eyes.
"Everything to me" i said.
There's a silent for a moment, both of us keep looking at the big screen in front of us. I remember those beautiful day when he was around, life seems perfect back then, i miss him so much.
"He's super kind he's a great person" i said with a smile on my face.
"Since my other grandpa passed away, my dad has to replace his position as the corporate leader,"
"Which makes my mom has to be on his side all the time,"
"Then both of them is getting busy and busy they left me and Gabe," i said.

"Grandpa is the only person that fill my life with colors, sometimes he picks me up from school when i was a little,"
"I still remember when he picked me up from school with his old car" i smile and laugh a little while picturing that moment.
"He took me to the park, bought me an ice cream, got mad when somebody wasn't being nice to me." I said.
"When i got into middle school he started to got ill, he couldn't walk without his walking stick and his condition gotten worse" i said and a tear all from my eyes.
"He couldn't talk, eat, or walk but he still can smile every time he saw me. I remember his wrinkles hands holding onto mine like he won't let it go" i said while smiling but a tears keep falling from my eyes.
"One day it seems so hard for him to breath so i called my mom to take him to the doctor, so they took him to the hospital with an ambulance"
"My mom said that his condition was getting worse"
"The school ended and i felt something is wrong i just wanted to go home, i met gabe in the house i was too scared to asked about grandpa's condition but i feel like i have to" i said with a low voice.
"But then Gabriel said that he got an information that he's getting better and i was so happy about it but not even a minute later we got a call from our dad that he just passed away" i said.
"Since he's gone everything's changed, my life's empty" i said.
"I thought I'm going to cry out loud that day but my tears couldn't come out, i only sit alone on his funeral feeling so shocked i couldn't say a word."
"My uncle introduced me to one of my grandpa's friend he's old and I remember he was sitting on his wheelchair, 'this is Avalana, his favorite grand daughter' that was so sad and still so sad." I said to him.
"After that i went to one of a room and cried, I realized that his smiles wouldn't be there anymore, the figure of him wouldn't be there anymore" i said to him and a tears keep slipping out of my eyes.
The silent is still around us, I feel my eyes are swollen and my cheeks are wet with tears, i slowly whipped them away with my sleeves.
"I always wondering am i the only one that still crying all over him in the middle of the night?" I said to him and i feel him closing the gap between us he slowly put his arm around me.
I've never talk about it before, jace doesn't even know about it. I kept it all over by myself these years, I don't trust anyone easily but with him, telling him everything feels right and i feel safe.

"You've been through a lot" he said breaking the silent.
I stay in a silent while trying to stop crying, after a while I finally stop and my eyes are now dry, but my nose probably still looks red.
"You look great on the track" he said and i finally look at him.
"You saw me?" I asked him.
"Everyone saw you reached the finish line" he said.
He said, i see his crystal blue eyes and his sharp jaw.
"It's been a long time and I can't believe I'm still the fastest" i said with a smile.
This guy here really knows how to brings up the situation when it goes down, his smile always appear on that face every time when it is only me and him in the room.
"Apollo" i asked and he's looking back at me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Our Group discussion remember? About the blood cycles" he asked which makes me sitting straight to face him.
Oh my god i almost forgot about it we have to make a presentation for tomorrow, I'm glad he remember.
"Let me grab my laptop for a sec" i said then left him to grab my laptop.
~
We've done the presentation, we understand the lesson and i can tell we're good enough to work on a group discussion. He really is a smart person, he knows so many things about science and especially Biology.
"You are really good at this I'm surprised" i said then he just smile while closing his books.
"It's getting late you should get some rest, especially for those tiny legs" he said then ready to stand up.
"You're right" i said and get up from the sofa bed.
I looked around the home theater before turning off the computer, i take my phone and put it inside of my hoody pocket.
Thankfully he remembered that we have this group project, I cannot imagine if we forgot what are we going to do tomorrow? I look at him who's getting ready to walking up the stairs to go to the exit door.
He really has a good figure and he never failed to make me amaze, how can he be so perfect i mean a person with that look and with that brain. Apollo isn't the person like everyone said, he isn't heartless at all, he's very care and actually friendly.
i knew he has a heart.
Both of us are walking up the stair until i reach the door knob, i turn around and found him standing so close to me, or i can say too close. I'm pretty shocked so my feet automatically took a step away from him but too bad the door is closer then i think.
I look up at his mesmerizing figure, i feel like i started to drown into his crystal blue eyes, my heart is beating faster while his body is getting closer and closer. I can smell his familiar scent of perfume, it smells good and manly.
Our eyes are locked with one another i feel one of his hands is touching my left cheek. His thumb brushing my cheek while his eyes are looking at mine, our face are only an inch away from one another i can feel his breath on my lip.
His soft pink lip slowly touching mine, he slowly put his lip on mine. I close my eyes while feeling his sweet lips on mine, our lips move in a tone. I started to feel a sparks and a magnetic connection between our lip, his thumb moves slowly on my cheek while his lips still connected with mine.
He slowly pulled his soft lips away, i open my eyes slowly and found him looking at me with a question face. My heart is still beating like crazy, my cheeks feel warm and i try so hard for not blushing in front of him.
"Uhm the door?" He awkwardly asked while i can see his cheek is getting red.
"Oh sorry" i said then open the door.
Both of us walked into the lobby, after a miniye we finally got into the lobby and i can say that the maid are asleep. I opened the main door for him, which lead us to walk out of the house.
"Oh your jacket" i said, i almost run but he stops me.
"No just keep it as long as you want" he smiles.
"Uh you sure?" I asked him while leaning into the big white door.
"I'm sure" he said.
He started to walk into his car but i called him which makes him turn around to look at me,
"Can you keep it as a secret?" I asked him.
His blue eyes suddenly light up which made a smile appeared on his face,
"Which part?" He smiles.
I smile over his action with my head leaning into the door,
"Every second of it" i said smiling back.
He smiles then bite his pink plump lip, I never imagine how can he makes my tummy flip all over the night.
"Safe" he said before turning around then got into his car.
I watch him leaving my house into the exit gate, After that i got into my room then lay on the bed with my head and eyes looking up to the white ceiling.
Apollo Hamilton just stole my first kiss today.
