The last few days have been going really well,however I'm finding it really to difficult to move on from the last incident that occurred with Rose.

I get flashbacks every single time and again.

It hurts that everybody knows my past now..that my house was always made glass.

Either way my friendship with Raven is starting to grow slowly.

We have become closer than we were before.

She checks up on my every hour, whenever I'm sleeping to check if I'm okay and I really do appreciate.

But I feel like Carole hates it.

She didn't even bother to ask how I was feeling after being discharged from the hospital.

She only talks about how her Café is short of staff and shit.

I honestly don't care about that.

I got my own problems to take care of.

I still need to go for therapy and there is no way I'm going to tell a stranger about my life.

Never.

"What are you thinking of?"Charnelle asks reaching out for the remote to change the channel.

"Rose."I respond.

"Not to rude,but why?"she asks and tilts her head to maintain focus on me.

"I don't know..I guess I really trusted her to the point where I told her everything about myself including my secrets.I never thought she would hurt me."I tell her.

"It does not matter it's in the past."she says trying to make me feel better.

"But it still hurts."I mutter under my breath.

"The past does hurt but the way I look at is,it's you either learn from it or run from it."she responds.

Wow.

"Where did you hear that?"I ask her with a smile.

"Remember that night we where watching the lion king....yeah,I heard it from that  baboon Rafiki."she says.

"smart."I scoff at her playfully.

That kind of really helped.

"So-"A knock interrupt us from our talk, cutting Charnelle from what she was about to say.

"I will get."Raven says, leaving what she was doing in the kitchen and opens the door to find Umairah standing at the door frame.

"Hey,is Amaya here?"I hear her ask Raven and she responds with a 'yes' allowing her to come in.

"Oh my gosh!"she screams seeing me and runs to hug me.

"I'm so glad to see you."she cries.

"Quite crying already."I grin and wipe her tears.

"I heard that you tried to...you know..You good?"she asks holding my hand.

"Yeah,I am.Who told you though?"I ask.

"Charnelle,the day you where not answering your calls.I ended up calling her, so that I could speak to you,but she told you were in hospital."she responds.

"Oh makes sense."

"I'm so glad you are here and what happened to your foot."she asks caressing my hand and looking at my right foot..

"I stepped on glass,but it's getting better.Raven helped me bandage it.She's been helping me out alot actually."she widens her eyes when I mention Raven.

"¿Tu hermana?"she asks softly

(Translation:Your sister.)

"Sí"I respond and let out a soft chuckle.

(Translation:Yes.)

"Enough about me.So tell me about you.How are you feeling?"I ask her,it must be tough to get cheated on.

"Well my mom knew I was lesbian all along,she was just waiting for me to come out.And I'm moving onto something better.I guess."she says.

I give a her warm and comfort hug for a while and she pulls out of the hug after a few seconds.

"And Brittney,how are you moving on?"

"I'm learning how to unlove her..it's not easy.Its not like finding a switch where you could switch off the feeling of love for somebody you know..Just even the habits I built with her,the repetition and routine.When something good or bad happened I would call Brittany.Every little thing that I did,I would share my life with Brittney with her,so learning to reprogram myself and forget about her is really difficult."

"I know it hurts,but you will get over it.Trust me.I hope you get well."I wish her.

"Same here and I hope you do to."she says and comforts me into a hug.

"Look..I have to go and fetch my little sister,okay."she says getting up from the couch.

"Bye."

"Bye Amaya, please call me when you need me..Im here for you okay."I nod my head in response and she says her good-byes to everyone and takes her leave.

"You have nice friends."Charnelle says.

"I know right."

"Sassy much."she responds

"Whatever."I say and she laughs at my sarcasm.

"Lunch is ready you guys."Raven says bringing our plates with tacos.

"These look good."I tell her as I look at how appetizing and mouth-watering they are.

"I know."she responds.

"Your sarcasm is shit."I say

"Like yours sounds any better"she defends herself and room fills with silence.

"You guys..."

My face breaks with a huge grin and Raven starts laughing breaking the awkward silence.

"I couldn't keep a straight face."I chuckle as Raven comes and sits next to me.

"I thought something was going to happen now."charnelle says.

"That was actually the point."Raven responds.

"Never in your live again do that."Charnelle warns playfully and we shrug our shoulders and nod our heads as she sits on Raven's lap.

We sit patiently as we eat and wait for the marathon of rush hour to start.

I love this bond.
