I wasn't going to stay at home, I would just overthink, I can't stand the looks I'm going to get from my parents or from Liang. I almost hit my head on the steering wheel of my car. 

All my hard work has been put to waste, all the trouble I went through into pretending that having Ezra break my heart was okay and that I've past that stage of my life has been wasted. 

I really do sigh this time, hitting my head on the head rest of my seat. 

Why? Why did I have to see that TV news at that time? And what else? That he was fine, except for a few bruises, he hadn't been the one driving, His Manager had sustained the brunt of the crash. 

Although I've tried to convince myself that I don't care what happens but I know I'm just deceiving myself, I can't help but wonder if he is OK, if his bruises hurt, He always hated any type of pain. 

I slap my hand down my face at my stupid thoughts, that's none if your business Star Marx. 

I startle when a knock sounds on my car window, Jeter is standing outside waving at me and smiling. 

Yes, I'm with Jeter, I should care only about him, I find myself smiling involuntarily at him, He gestures for me to roll down the glass of the window, I do so and he's there, bending his head to kiss me on my lip, it's so quick I almost didn't feel it. 

I frown, confused. 

"Hey pretty" He says. 

"Where you out here waiting for me?" I ask.

"Yes,I was hurt when you didn't immediately notice me standing by my car.. You should have eyes only for me." He says and I lean into his face to look into his eyes. 

"I'm sorry" 

"It's fine, I got to kiss you, that's enough compensation" He says and I nod. 

"Do you want to step out of your car, I'm fine with talking like this but I'm sure you have surgery in an hour" He says and I nod, he steps back and I open my car door. 

"Are you okay baby?" He asks and I nod. 

That's right, all I need is a fix of Jeter, I'm perfectly fine now. 

"Wanna go on a date later?" I ask. 

"Why, Miss Marx, do you wanna have your wicked way with me?" He asks comically and I nod. 

"If only I could Mr Willis, if I only I could" I say with a wistful tone, he laughs before grabbing my hands to pull me from the underground parking lot. 

****

I stand, twirling my car keys in my hand as I go through my Instagram feed,Jeter is going to be out soon, I'm trying to think of somewhere we can go for dinner. 

I'd brought my car out so I'm standing on the street waiting for a man, is this my life now? 

I find myself smiling as i think about him, I'm very sure I'm in love with the big goofy man. 

I bite my lip as I tuck my hair behind my ear. 

"You still do that?" A voice asks from besides me and I turn jerkily to it. 

"I was right, I wasn't sure if it was you but then I saw you do that and I...

. It really is you Star" Ezra Kane says to, for whatever reason I can't look at him, my eyes go to his back and standing behind him is a man and a doctor from my hospital. 

"What... What are you doing here?" I ask and I'm glad my voice doesn't break, not even a little bit. 

"Uh.. I.." 

"Kane, we have to go" Says the man, who I'm sure his his new manager. 

"Can.. Can we talk.. On. Phone? Please?" He  asks and I shake my head, taking a step back. 

"Star?" He asks, Taking a step too, it's then I  notice his leg in a cast. My heart clenches, he's hurt, my instinct is to go to him but I hold myself back. 

"Star? Please?"He asks and I keep shaking my head, my body hits a warm wall and I turn. 

" My love? "Jeter asks and I feel calm coming. 

" Take me home "I say in whispers, he doesn't hesitate, leads me to my side of the car, I don't know how he gets into the other side but I feel the keys slip out of my grasp. 

I refuse to look at the man standing on the curb with a broken leg and a handsome face. 

When we've driven for a while the car comes to a stop, My eyes opens and that's when I know I had closed them, 

We are in front of my house, I turn to Jeter. 

"What..?" 

"You looked like you needed the rest, take me on a date tomorrow" He says and tears form in my eyes. 

I press my lips to his face, Wishing against everything that I could kiss him. 

"Jeter...."I begin but he shakes his head, 

" Go in, Bath and rest, let's video call later and you can tell me all the nasty things you have in your mind right nkw"He says and I chuckle. 

I step out of my car. 

I begin to walk towards the gate when his voice makes me turn. 

" Star? "

" I love you, I'm gonna pick you up tomorrow, let me take this baby home okay?" He says, referring to my car. 

I nod dazedly and he throws me a wink before zooming off. 

It's safe to say I didn't have thoughts of Ezra in my head after that.

"Where are you going?" Liang asks, his hands pressing the game pad vigorously, his eyes glued to the TV screen.

"She has a date with our school's play boy" Mila says.

"Cut it out Mila, you know it's not a date" I say and she shrugs.

"You are coming with me, how is it a date if you are coming with me?" I ask, twirling around the room so that she can access my dress, Since she did not get into the cheerleading squad, she had taken up fashion designing, she had designed this dress.

That's the only way to make peace with the war she almost created.

" I think you are just using me as a human body shield" She says, ruffling Liang's hair as we exit.

"Don't touch my hair squid.... Be careful Star, if you come back late I'm gonna narc to mom" He says and I blow him a kiss. 

"You are falling Star" Mila says as we get into her car. 

"I'm not" I say but I know that I am and I can't help it.
