It's been a week since the disastrous day. Of course I was down most of time and I was really worried about Heiji. I called Shinichi a few days ago to check on Heiji but he told me that Heiji went out of his house the day after they told him the news about his mother, and he thought that he went back home which he didn't. That made me even more worried. I don't know him for such a long time but I feel as if I knew him longer. I just hope that he's okay, physically of course because I don't really think he's mentally okay. I mean his mother died. I think he went back to Japan though. To visit his dad and to go to his mother's funeral, but I'm not sure.

"Kazuha! Are you listening?!" Sonoko waved her hand in front of my face as she was calling my name. I got out of my train of thoughts.

"Umm, sorry I got distracted." I said as I brought my attention back to my friends. Since last week, Kaito, Sonoko, Aoko and I always sit together during lunch time after we finish from our classes.

"It's Heiji again, right?" Kaito asked, looking worried.

"Yeah," I answered, "I've been calling him and he's still not answering and no one knows for sure where he is."

"Aoko feels so sorry for him; I mean imagine losing your mother like that, out of nowhere. Aoko would be destroyed" Aoko said, with a sad expression. To be honest it took me some to get used to Aoko speaking in third-person but I mean that's okay. Everyone has their own way to express themselves.

"Yeah…" We all replied to Aoko.

After a while of talking to each other, I said my goodbyes to everyone and went back home. When I arrived I changed into my pajamas and sat on the couch that was across the T.V and started watching something that would distract me from thinking about him. All I could think about in these days were him. Is he okay? Did something happen to him? Where is he?

I just couldn't stop and suddenly the door was getting unlocked and it opened. He walked in and passed by me as if I hadn't called him a thousand times, and he went to his room. I jumped from the couch and ran to his room.

"Where were you? I was worried the entire time?!" I said immediately without even thinking.

"Not your business." He answered coldly as he lies down on his bed and faces the other way so that I don't see his face.

"I know it's not, but at least answer me with a text so that I don't freak out trying to figure out where you are!"

"I SAID IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUISNESS! GET OUT!" He yelled at me, and I didn't want to cause him anymore pain so I just got out of his room went back to the living room.

I grabbed my phone that was on the table and I texted Shinichi that Heiji's back, then I went back to watching. Or at least trying to watch, because he's always in my thoughts. I wish we can turn back time and fix everything. I really do.

-.-

After a few hours of watching T.V and doing my homework it was almost 12 AM and I felt sleepy. I was very worried about Heiji because the entire time he was in his room and he only went out for a bathroom break. He didn't even eat a thing even though I offered food for him and even took a sandwich to his room. He refused to eat it and he just stayed on his bed with his face facing the other side.

After brushing my teeth and getting ready to sleep, I decided to check on Heiji. I felt so much pain. My chest and heart start to hurt when I think about him. Literally hurt. I walked into his dark room and walked towards his bed. I saw the untouched sandwich on his bedside table. He didn't even eat.

"Heiji?" I call his name but he doesn't answer, so I get a closer look to his face to find out that he was sleeping. Oh darling, he must've been both physically and mentally tired. He deserves a rest. I looked adoringly on his face and I sat on his bed next to him, then I softly massaged his head and played with his soft dark hair. I kept thinking about the pain that he's going through right now and how much I would love to help him and be one of the people to make him feel better.

After a while, I leaned down to his face and kissed him softly on his forehead, "Good night. Feel better." I said as I got up and left him to sleep. Or so did I think, because little did I know that he faked sleeping when I walked in and little did I know about the small smile that formed on his lips as I was there.

-.-

The next morning I woke up earlier than I usually do. I wanted to make breakfast for the both of us. First, I went to our shared bathroom and took a shower to wake myself up and to freshen up. After that I wore my running shorts and a shirt, and then I went to the kitchen to make breakfast. I decided to make Japanese breakfast.

I made miso shori and gohan, with salads and boiled eggs as side dishes. I looked at the time and it was ten in the morning. He still didn't wake up which is weird since he's a morning person, but due to the situation he's in I'm sure he just wants to stay in bed all day. I'm not going to let that happen though.

I barged into his room and opened the curtains, and then walked towards his bed. "Rise and shine! It's already ten in the morning and you're not awake?! How could you!" I joked around and tried to wake him up. He groaned and gave me a dirty look then went back to sleep. Now I know how my mom feels when she wakes me up for school.

"Come on get up! You're not going to stay asleep for the whole day, are you?" I said.

"Get out I want to sleep." He said with his husky voice and his eyes were still closed. It's honestly so attractive when guys talk after they sleep. Ahem. I should shut up and wake him up.

"Oh come on. I made breakfast for both of us. It's really good." I said, then I kneeled down and my face was right in front of his. He opened his eyes and looked at me. "Pretty please." I said as I looked at him with my infamous puppy face that people can't and will never be able to resist.

"Fine, whatever." He finally agreed and I smiled and I jumped up and ran to the door, then I turned and looked at him and said, "Freshen up in ten minutes or less so that the food doesn't get cold."

He sat up and nodded. Even though his lips didn't smile his eyes did and that made me incredibly happy.

-.-

After exactly ten minutes he came and joined me on the kitchen table. He sat across me and didn't say a word, he just ate his food. I really hoped that he would like it. After that we just sat together and watched some silly shows on T.V. Even though we were not talking, I still enjoyed the company. After a while I decided to text Shinichi since I thought he would enjoy his best friend's company and because I have no go to my university in an hour, and I don't want him to be left alone.

"What an idiot." Heiji commented on one of the stupid characters in the show.

"I know right." I agreed even though I wasn't really focusing on what's happening in the show.

After half an hour Shinichi came and greeted us. He didn't bring Ran with him, which I thought was weird. They're always stuck together as if there's some magnet that's pulling them together. When Shinichi came in Heiji looked so happy and relieved that his best friend came. Ugh! I wish I can have a best friend like that. I'm so happy for both of them.

Shinichi then opened up a story about a case, which seemed to grab Heiji's attention, and he seemed to be very interested so I got up so that I don't ruin their mood and to get ready for university. I won't change my clothes, I'm wearing my running shorts and a sporty shirt which is comfortable and not that bad for university. I just wore my shoes and got my bag ready. After that I took my apartment keys and walked to the door. When Heiji spotted me though, he stopped me, "Hey, where do you think you're going?"

"Umm, university." I answered.

"And how are you going to go there?" Heiji asked, with one eyebrow raised. Shinichi turned and looked at me with a smirk.

"Taxi, duh." I answered again.

"No, duh. Remember, I owe you. I have to drive you to your university." He said with a-matter-of-fact tone.

"So you're gonna leave your best friend here?" I asked.

"He's my best friend he won't be mad, plus I'm gonna drop you there I won't stay with you."

"Fine then, I'll wait for you in the garage." I said then I got out of the apartment and went to the garage. I'm glad that he seems to be in a better mood. I'm actually kind of excited to ride with him in the motorcycle. I don't know why though. I don't know anything when it comes to Heiji. I'm just confused all the time.

In the apartment

"You like her don't you? The I owe you thing is just because you want to spend time with her right?" Shinichi asked Heiji with a smug face.

"Shut up." Heiji said and he blushed.
