"I know I'm late I'm so sorry" Harris picks up as Tan waits in the spot he dropped him off this morning"It's ok, if you're too busy we can have dinner instead""No I'm on my way, I want to see you even if it's for 5 minutes" Tan notices how frantic he sounds"Are you ok Harry?""I'm fine don't worry about me, I'll be there in 20 minutes ok?""Ok no rushing I need you here in one piece""All right" they hang up and Tan continues to wait.Trying to get Sarah Stiles out of his head Harris thinks about Tan.Tanner Milton, just the thought of his name makes Harris smile, the way Tan calls him Harry, Harris has not felt like he did last night in a while. The only person that was ever able to throw Harris out of his element like that was Sarah. Sarah was the one, he knew it, but there are people who use their power selfishly, and Sarah was selfish. She knew her hold over Harris, he fell for her and promised himself to do whatever it took to never be with someone like Sarah Stiles again.Pul

Waking up Tan looks over hoping to see Harris, but sees pillows and an empty space instead. He sits up and runs his hand in his eyes to wake him up, Tan grabs his phone looking past the 57 missed calls from his parents he stares at the time. 10:36 am. Tan stands up, walks to the bathroom, and gets ready for the day.Standing in the middle of Harris's giant penthouse alone Tan thinks about searching everything to know more about Harris, but Harris is such a mysterious man Tan might find something he can't unsee.Instead, he walks to the kitchen to find something to eat, wondering around in the kitchen his eyes land on a paper on the counter with his name written in capital letters, TAN. Picking up the paper he unfolds it to find a noteI didn't want to wake you up so I wrote a note instead- Tan smiles -I should be home by 3 so hang in there. Make yourself comfortable you're free to anything, if you need help with anything my doorman Jerry can help, I told him to expect you. Can't wait

"You're never leaving this house again!" Tan's mother barks when he walks into the house"Music to my ears" Tan rolls his eyes as he drops his bags walking to his room"Where were you?" Shiela asksTurning around Tan stares into his mother's eyes "do you care? Do you really care?" She thinks about the question and the answer is yes but she's not sure enough to say it out loud. "I'm too tired for this" Tan walks away "let me know when the tyrant gets home so we can discuss my punishment" Tan slams the door and locks it.Taking off his jacket and shoes Tan climbs in bed and slowly starts to sob as he thinks about Harris, how much he's royally fucked up and couldn't even beg. It's only been an hour and Tan misses Harris so much, he misses the way Harris smells, how perfect his hair was, and his smile. It was all over, and for Tan, it was way too soon.On Monday morning after a long and difficult weekend, Tan throws on a baggy sweater and jeans walking out of his room with his bag on his

"Will someone punch me in the face if I ever volunteer to work with Tommy Johnson ever again?" Tan walks over dropping at the lunch table where his friends are after 45 minutes of failing at taking pictures of Tommy."Was he that bad?" Lin asks rubbing his back as Tan lays his head on the table feeling like a failure"He wouldn't smile, and he stood in the same fucking spot the whole time like a telephone pole! No matter how much I said Tommy smile or do something else with your body, boy would not move!" He complains to his friends as he steals food off their trays"That sucks dude, when I took pictures of Sven this morning he was such a breeze" Erica gloats"Yeah?" Tan scolds her "maybe it's because Sven's actually a genuine person with a great smile. While I got stuck with a fucking robot that had a stick jammed so far up his ass, it was causing him to malfunction!" Tan rants"Calm down it's not Tommy you're mad at""No, but I'm also pretty fucking mad at him too" Tan turns on the

"Hey, are you busy right now?" Sven walks in standing behind Tan as he sits on the computer in the yearbook committee room."You mean as I'm editing these pictures right now for the yearbook?" Tan asks sarcastically "not at all what's up?" He stops what he's doing and turns to Sven "woah you're really sweaty" he makes fun of him"It's a mix of working out and nerves" Tan watches as the sweat glistens down his arms, and the muscle shirt he's wearing covers nothing."Nerves?" They walk out of the room and stand closer"I'm freaking out about tonight" Sven whispers"Why? You've played a bunch of games before""This one's different people are gonna be watching""Like they usually do?""No Tan I mean the scouts they're coming and I don't think I'm ready""Sven since you became captain of JV they've won almost every game, you single-handedly turned those losers around" Sven chuckles at Tan calling his teammate losers, "and I know you're ready with all those practices and literally carrying
