Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Home

After we talked with Luc and apologized for all the fuss we created with our fight, I thanked him for letting me stay at his place these past few days, then went back to ours with Rick as he was already so eager to have me back home.

As soon as I walked past the front door, looking around at the very familiar walls, sighing in relief, I was welcomed by a pair of strong arms wrapping around me, pulling me in a warm hug.?I quickly looked up, meeting those same familiar dark brown eyes, staring down at me.

"Kieran."

"Welcome back, kiddo."

I seriously don't know why is he always calling me like that...

He's the same age as Rick, which means he's only five years older than me, for Christ's sake!

He warmly smiled, giving me a peck on the forehead, his bulky frame engulfing my much smaller one, almost crushing my tiny fragile bones.

"Ow. You're. Crushing. Me."
