Leila returns home that night, dumbstruck by the Shawn Mendes kiss experience. She lies down exasperated and helpless on her bed. She regrets everything she said to Trevor earlier. How stupid could a person be to treat another like that?
What if Miss Sarah was right though? What if she cursed him? No, she's convinced he is safe and sound in his apartment.
After a while, she decides to face the music and call him.

❝Trevor, hello?❞

❝Are you there?❞
❝ . . . ❞
❝Please, Trevor. I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything I said. I-I was mad and you were mad and everything got—❞
❝Shh . . . no need to explain.❞
❝Trevor, when I say I love you—❞
❝I trust you.❞
❝—yeah, I trust you, I really mean it. Why would I take Sebastian's offer if it wasn't for you?❞
❝I don't even know why you took it. I'm nothing in your life.❞
❝That's not true.❞
❝I'm a trashcan and undeserving of any forms of love or relationship.❞
❝I SWEAR I WILL CHAINSAW YOUR BA—❞
❝You know it's true.❞
❝Yes, you can be kinky and out of control sometimes, but aren't we all? Trevor, if you are anything, you are the most amazing human being I've ever met.❞
❝I bet you said that to your exes before.❞

❝You know what? It's okay. Just remember, after this week, we will never get to see each other again. So, appreciate me like I do of you before one of us is gone. Forever.❞
[ Foreshadowing? Hmm . . . ]
❝Goodnight, Leila.❞
[ Leila ends the line, unwilling to let the pain cling onto her heart even more. One by one, her tear drops fall onto her lap, and she ends up crying herself to sleep that night. ]
