"Hey, everyone!" Carter shouts so everyone sitting at this booth and the one next to it can hear. He looks at me over his shoulder and then to them, "Meet Zoe Garcia," he smiles, "Ma girl."

I smack his shoulder and laugh, moving from behind him.

"Don't listen to him. We are just. . .friends."

A boy from the next booth laugh,

"Yea. Who like each other," and the two booths erupt in laughter.

But I  freeze as I stare at the boy who gave me this opportunity in the first place. Bryan Frank.

He sits in the corner with Kylie on his lap.  My heart beats beats fast in my chest. Is he disappointed in me? Does he hate me?

But as a smile appears on his face and he nods at me. 

I feel free.

He has given me his blessing. He has has set me free.

I smile at at him, nodding my head.

"Come on," Carter says as he sits down at the table and pulls me beside him.

He puts his arm over my shoulder, use his other to play with my hand which rests a top his leg and then start talking to the people around  him as if what's happening with him and I  is normal.
