Chapter Text
Clay's POV:
I shouldn't have left him. I was too selfish to even think what I was doing. I'm so selfish I could-
"Hi Clay!" Viva stopped my thoughts, hugging me. I looked at her a bit frightened. "Oh. Hey Veev." I said, hugging her back. "What's wrong? You look a bit frightened." She asked, holding my hand. "Oh. Nothing. I was just, a bit shocked by the sudden hug." I said brushing it off. I just can't let her know. Not yet. Not ever.
Viva's POV:
I looked at Clay a bit worried though I had a smile on my face. "Are you sure?" I asked, he wasn't responding. I waved at his face. "Hello?? Clay. Clay. CLAY. CLAY!! Earth to Clay!!" I said, calmly. Nah, not really I was worried. I could hear it in my voice. He still didn't respond, so I called out again. "CLAYYYYYYYYYY." I screamt right through his ears, he flinched. Finally snapping out of whatever he's thinking. "Y-Yes Viva??" He said a bit shocked still. "You didn't respond!! I called your name at least 6 times." I said.
Clay's POV:
Oh shoot. I've been thinking so hard I didn't realize she was calling me. Shit.
"Are you okay?" She said calmly. To me. I couldn't tell her. Not yet. I can't. "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me." I let out a small laugh after I said that. She looked at me still worried, shit shit shit shit shit. What do I do. I totally blew it.
Viva's POV:
Something's definitely wrong with him. But I don't wanna let him know that I know. He'd totally freak out. "Alright then. I'll see you tonight at Branch's bunker." I said with a smile on my face before I walked away from him, so that he can have sometime alone.
Clay's POV:
I nodded. Wait? Branch's bunker? What're we gonna have there?? I should ask her- Oh. She's gone. ......
.........
I'm screwed.
