March.
4 Months Later

"Valentina..."

"I picked up my mess, cleaned the bathroom and the kitchen. Just because I was irresponsible one time doesn't mean I am always like that" Valentina laughed "I even did the chores you usually do"

"Val that was not the reason why I was yelling for you but I will say thank you per usual" I laughed as I waved around a a envelope that came for her in the mail

"Oh... Forget everything I just said" She laughed nervously as she rubbed the back of her neck "What is it?"

"Probably another scholarship. That would make three this month" I grinned. It's pretty exciting seeing what she could potentially get in the mail

"Have you talked to Leigh this week?" Val asked me out of nowhere

"Don't change the subject" I pushed the envelope to her

"No you don't change the subject Bibi. Have you talked to Leigh?" She said sternly and my god was it the perfect mix of my mom and Jade, that is the scary part

"I haven't talked to her this week because it's a new week obviously" I rolled my eyes while trying to walk away from the conversation

"Bibi...

"Okay fine.." I sighed and sat down at the table "I haven't talked to her. We share cool posts on Instagram but that's about it, She wants to keep her distance because of her feelings and I can't blame her Val. I feel the same way, I just can't rush into a relationship just yet.. not when I don't even know the world around me anymore"

"Are you guys still friends?" Val asked as she sat down next to me

"Of course we are. Just a little less than usual right now"

"A lot of less than usual" Valentina nodded and I couldn't help but agree "I hope you guys find a way through it" She smacked my shoulder then gently took the envelope and opened it "You were right. It is another scholarship"

"To where?"

She squinted her eyes a little "Ohio State University"

"Now if you go there you would be spending a lot of time with my mom.. Grandma" I laughed and Val laughed with me

"I would wouldn't I" She chuckled as she pushed the paper to the center of the table "Why did grandma move to Ohio?"

"She has some family there and she wanted somewhere to settle down quietly which didn't last long because she started working again. I can still tell shes at peace out there though"

"I guess that's where all of us got that urge to work all the time" Val laughed. She was starting to get it

"Sure did. She did everything, I'm a prime example of what it was like learning from her. I think I know how to do anything, she was both the man and woman of the house, she would fix things, get her hands dirty then take a shower and be in the kitchen cooking up a meal that would knock your socks off. She also made that necklace Leigh is always wearing" I laughed with the biggest grin on my face. My mom is a damn superhero

"That ring necklace? I Thought you made that" Jade chuckled with confusion

"I gave your grandma the idea and.. I made the blueprint per say while she did the rest.. All this talk makes me wanna go visit her"

"Me too" Val chuckled while she looked at the letter

"Ugh alright.. You ready for practice?" I stood up and stretched
