章 178: Anything for you

Khalid 

Colm leaves me alone with Roman and I have never wanted to run away from my best friend as much as I want to right now. I know Colm saw my expression when I saw Tala. He knows but he didn't say anything about it, and it is not like it is even something I want to talk about.

Roman being here right now, is more than I can take because I don't want to slip and say something that I shouldn't. 

"What is going on with you K?" he asks. 

Everything. 

"Nothing.'' 

He can tell when I am lying. We have been through too much for him not to be able to "Is it because we are here? Do you not want to be here? I can find somewhere else to keep you.'' 

"Keep me?" 

He realizes his words and shakes his head, running his fingers through his hair "I didn't mean it like that. I meant; we could go somewhere else until this is all sorted."
