"Okay," I groan, mom knows we hate breakfast.

"Text me later."

"Okay," I repeat. "I hang up the phone." And hang up.

I put my backpack on my shoulders and leave the dormitory. On a Sunday at this time, everyone is still sleeping, so the buses are almost empty, and I quickly get to the place I need.

On the bus, I always put on headphones, turn on music and try to disconnect from the whole world. I dream of having superpowers, then I would try to resurrect Denys, or create a world in which we are together.

I turn my back to the window, I don't know if there will ever be a thing in the whole world that will make me laugh or enjoy life, or at least start living.

Apart from, of course, medicine. I started studying anatomy three years ago, reading about various heart diseases, about ways of treatment, about new technologies that will save the world.

And now, reading scientific books almost every day, I didn't even notice that I was interested in medicine. I didn't notice that I was only looking for various diseases on the Internet, I didn't notice that I started watching TV shows about doctors instead of teenage TV shows, I didn't notice how I fell in love with this profession, even though I always hated hospitals.

I get off the bus, Sebastian lives on the second floor, so it's not too high to get. I greet his neighbours and open the door with my key.

"Sebastian," I shout.

My brother is lying on the ground half-naked, and Yara fell asleep on the sofa, KJ fell asleep sitting on the chair. Clothes and rubbish are scattered all over the flat, and there is an unpleasant smell. I don't even try to wake them up, I go to the windows and open them.

I decide to have a bath, and then deal with everything. I didn't expect this from Sebastian.

I go into the bathroom, put my things on the brown low table and start to undress. When I'm left in just my regular black underwear, I reach for the tap behind the curtain to turn on the water.

"What the hell?" shouts someone's voice, opening the curtain and I turn the water off in fright.

"What are you doing here?" I shout.

"In general, I'm sleeping, but what are you doing here?" Asks Danylo, gets up and leaves the bath.

He is wearing only yesterday's pants, no shirt, his hair is wet, and drops of water are still running down his body.

I try not to look at his body, I try to look away from his pumped up muscles. But I notice a tattoo in the form of a lightning bolt that stretches from his lower abdomen to his shoulder.

"What is it, darling, you haven't seen a man's body before?" he waves his hands in front of my face, he must have noticed how I devoured him with my gaze.

I forgot that I was standing in front of him in my underwear, but now, when Danylo's gaze fell directly on my chest, I decided to cover myself.

He smiled.

Does he think it's funny?

"Maybe you will finally get out of here?"

"Maybe so, but you hardly want it," he crosses his arms on his chest and does it on purpose, because it makes his body seem even bigger.

Because he is much taller than me, I constantly have to keep my head up and this made my neck hurt.

"What?" I am surprised. "Get out of here." He raises his hands up:

"Okay, darley, but there won't be a second chance," he leaves the bathroom and closes the door.

I exhale. Why the hell does he call me darling?

I reach for the tap again and turn it on. I start to take off my underwear, and then I remember that I didn't lock the door. I approach and reach for the handle.

"I forgot my shirt," Danylo's body falls straight into the bathroom with such force that I lose my balance. "Got you," he smiles.
