I wake up and remember I'm in Laurens bed, but she's not there. I sit up and look around, I almost choke when I notice Tae still in my bed. I stand up and stretch, I notice a note on my desk.

Val,
You better talk to him. Cause you know I'd get at that. He's hot okay!? You better! :) make good choices. I'll see you later.
                                ~ Lauren

I stare at the note for a while, maybe hoping that I didn't just read that. "Cause you know I'd get at that." The pit of my stomach begins to hurt. "Ugh.. My.. Head.." I hear a deep groggy voice. It sounded pretty hot actually. I walk over to him. "Good morning sleeping beauty." I mentally scold myself with the stupid entrance I started myself off with. That's how I wake up Lauren for crying out loud. His dark tired eyes look into mine as he smiles.

"Good morning." He says. I just stand there for some reason, staring at him. But he doesn't seem to mind as he just stares back. I can hear my heart pounding in my ears, its kind of giving me a head ache. I finally look away. "How's your hand doing?" I ask as I kneel down in front of him.

"I'll live." He chuckles. I look up at him, his eyes staring into mine. My heart stopping, my hands become clammy. "Well.. L-Lets see if its doing fine." I scold myself for stuttering. I unwrap his hand, slowly. The stitches were still intact and looked great. I give myself a mental pat on the back. "Oh hey. It looks great. I think you're clear to go Mr. Kim." He sits up on my bed and chuckles.

"Thank you doctor." He says with a rectangular smile that makes my heart skip a beat. I stand up right. "You can keep this if you want.. To keep the stitches clean. Would you like me to wrap it for you?" He nods his head. I gladly rewrap his hand, my skin lightly touching his. I feel his gaze burn into my skin. "Thank you.." I whisper as I continue to look down at his hand. "You don't have to thank me.." He says. I finish off the wrap and look up at him.

"If it weren't for you.. I would've been.." I stop my words, not wanting to finish it. He places his hand on mine. "If it were my little sister, God forbid.. I would have done the same. So there's no need to thank me. Its just my nature." He says, his grip softening over mine.

Why do I feel this way? Maybe it was his heroic act that made me become so attracted to him, other than his looks. Do I like him? I'm cut away from my thoughts.

"Val?" He calls to me. I blink and nod. "Yes?" I ask. He grins. "You haven't eaten have you?" He asks. I think for a while.. "No.. I haven't.." I say. He nods. "Okay. Let's go to the buffet and eat." He suggests, a cute look on his face. "Okay." I say simply. He gets off my bed and stretches. He looks back at me. "Okay let's go." He says grabbing onto my hand and dragging me out of my dorm, I don't even have a chance to change out of my pajamas.

**

"Do you have classes today?" He asks me. I shake my head, "No. Do you?" I ask. He takes a bite of his pancake. "No. Today's my break, tomorrow is when I have all my classes." He says. I nod. "Same." He smiles. "I know you're going to think I'm crazy.. But.. Even though I've been here for more than three years.. I really haven't seen Los Angeles, or Hollywood." He says blushing a bit. "Really?" I almost choke on my bacon. "We should go! I'm so down to show you places!" I screech. He smiles. "Yes. Show me." He nods.

"So will you allow me to change out of my pajamas so I don't look like I'm on crack?" I ask. He laughs. "Yeah. Sure." I smile. "So what do you want to really see?" I ask. He looks up at the ceiling and thinks. "Hollywood." He nods and looks back down at me. "Okay. Will do." I looks down at my plate, him staring at me like that makes me feel nervous. "Is it true you can walk on stars? I remember hearing about it some where." He says. I smile and look back up at him. "I guess you'll just have to see."

A little while later we head out to the dorms. "So tell me.. If you don't mine." I hear him, so I look up at him. "Sure what's up?" He looks at me, wonder in his eyes. "Whose Robert?" My heart drops. "W-why do you ask?" I look away and straight ahead, staring into space at the thought of him. "I saw that one of your stuffed animals had that name on it, unless you used to be a guy, which would be a complete shame-" I laugh. "No. Believe me. I was born one hundred percent female." I smile then it goes away. "He's my ex." I say slowly.

Its quiet for a while. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you feel sad or anything." He says. I frown. "No its fine. I'd have to talk about it sooner or later." I shrug. We turn into our dorm. "You don't have to if you don't want to." He says. I shake my head, if you want to know I'll tell you later." He pulls open the door for me. I walk in and he follow behind.

"Only if you'd want to." He says getting to my side again. I look  at him. "How about when we sit down to eat in Hollywood we'll get to know each other." I say. He smiles. "I'd like that." I walk to my door. "So I'll see you outside the dorm." He says. I nod. "Will do." I smile. He walls two doors down. "No way." I shake my head. He laughs. "Ain't that crazy?" He smiles and I unlock my door.

I can't stop smiling when I finally get into my room. "Yeah.. Of course no one knows." My eyebrows pull together in confusion when I hear Lauren. I close the door quietly. "I love you.." I hear her say. I walk in quickly. "Lauren! You love someone!?" She almost throws her phone against the wall. "Holy shit Val. You scared the crap out of me." She grips her heart. "Avoiding the question much?" I smirk.

Her eyebrows knit, and there's this look on her face I can't quite figure out. "Is something wrong?" I ask. She shakes her head and leans back in her bed like I didn't just ask something and she was planning on not answering me. "Where have you been?" She asks. I feel like I shouldn't ignore how she's acting, but I try to shrug it off. "I went to breakfast with Tae."

She smiles. "That's cute. You went in your donut pajama pants." I roll my eyes and walk over to my dresser. "He pulled me out of the room before I could change." She smirks. "Aaah. So you would have changed in front of him." My face heats up. "No! I wouldn't do such a thing! I'm not like that." I'm not you. I look for my guns and roses shirt. "Yeah..." Is all she says. I find it and toss off my pajama shirt. "So." I add to break the silence, slipping on my shirt. "Are you going to tell me about your man or not? I didn't even know you had one." I ask.

She doesn't say anything, I grab my jeans. "Lauren." I call her, she was acting really weird. "What is wrong with you?" I ask tossing off my pajama pants and pulling on my jeans. "I'll have to tell you another time." She doesn't even look at me. "Where are you going anyways?" She asks. I hate that she's not answering any of my questions and is expecting me to answer hers. What the hell is wrong with her?

There's a knock at the door. I grab my slip-on walking shoes and open the door. Its Tae. "Oh. I see." I hear Lauren. He looked nice. "Oh cool. Guns and Roses." He smiled as he looks down at my shirt. "Hey Tae!" I hear Lauren. He looks behind me and grins. "Hi Lauren." He then looks down at me. "Are you ready to go?" He asks with that rectangular smile on his face. I nod wanting to get out of there. "Have her home before her bed time." I hear Lauren, it causes Tae to laugh. "No problem."

And we leave the dulex. I think he noticed something was off. "Are you okay?" He asks. I look at him. "Why do you ask?" I don't look at him. "You didn't say bye to Lauren." He adds. I shrug and we head to my car. "Its really stupid actually." I say. We get in and I look at him. "I'm sure its not stupid." He grins.

"She was just acting weird.. Like when I walked in she was talking to someone on the phone and was saying 'yeah of course no one knows.' Then she told that person that she loves them. And when I asked her who it was she just avoided everything awkwardly and asked me questions about where I was and where I was going." I let out a breath. "Don't worry Val. I'm sure that when the time comes she'll tell you." He says applying his belt.

I nod in agreement, "True." I say buckling my belt and starting up my car. "Or you'll somehow find out yourself." he adds, and I began to wonder what he meant by that.

"Wow! What do these people do to get to put their hands and feet in the floor?" I chuckle at his cute curiosity. "They're amazing actors." I smirk. "Actors?" He asks. I nod. "There are other cool things in Hollywood." I take his hand and pull him to the side walk. I point down at the floor. "Wow!" He falls to his knees causing people to stare as they passed by.

My heart flutters to how completely clueless he's acting, it was so cute. "Wow! Michael Jackson." I chuckle and soon he stands up and takes my hand, walking down the rest of the stars. Many he didn't know, because he hasn't seen very many American films. But he did know a couple, and when he saw them he'd jump up and down like a child. When we reached the end of the Walk of Fame he was really hungry so we went to a near by restaurant.

**

"So.." He starts at as wait for our orders. "So." I say back. He smiles. "What do you like to do?" He asks. I think for a while. "I actually don't know anymore. I've been so causght up with school.. I don't really have time to do much." I frown at the thought of how pathetic I've become.

He frowns. "Well.. I'm sure you'll figure it out again." He smiles. I started to realize that he could be right. Its never too late to girgure out what you like right? "I don't know how I'd figure anything out, I can't even make my own decisions." I smack my forehead at the thought. "For Gods sake, I can't even chose my own career. My parents chose it for me.. How is that a life?" I feel his hand touch mine. I look at him, his face had that expression that read something, I wasn't really sure what it was though.

"Don't think that way Val." His finger tips running little circles on my skin. "I'll help you find out who you are.. I'm here." My heart pounds in my chest. And my lips part to say..
