Chapter Four: "No Hate"

^^ Hayley's outfit 

AALIYAH: haiii

ME: heyy

AALIYAH: r u free 2 hang this wknd? I have never had my first day of school on a Friday lol

ME: xD I might be free. Lemme check w mom brb

AALIYAH: okkkk

Over the one day we knew each other, Aaliyah and I were already becoming very close friends.

"Hey mom, can I go to Aaliyah's today or tomorrow maybe?" I ask.

"Sure! Tell her I'll drive you there at 1pm," says Mom. "Okay!" I reply.

ME: mom is driving me @ 1!! Yay!!

AALIYAH: yayyy!! 😁 cya soon!!

ME: cya 😘💜

"See you at 3 honey," says Mom. "Bye Mom!" I race out the door and run to the front steps. I don't even have to ring the doorbell.

"Hey, Hay Berry!!" Says Aaliyah, giving me a big hug. I hug her back, then I remember Annie gave me that nickname. Aaliyah notices my face. "Is something wrong?"

"Well, um, how did you get that nickname for me?"

"Um, I don't know. I like it though!" She smiles.

We go to her room (which she shares with her sister), and before I could see the poster on her side of the wall, she rips it up.

"Um.." I'm not sure if I should say anything or..

I sigh. When I was younger my public school classmates never knew I was famous, so I didn't have to worry about the embarrassing little kid things I did on Bratayley. Aaliyah probably had a printed poster of American Girl Dolls or something like that, and she didn't want me to see it..

"SOOO...do you wanna do our nails?" She asks.

"Uh, sure". I choose red nail polish and Aaliyah chooses purple. After that we watch Fuller House (Aaliyah loves it too!) while we eat PopCorners and Hershey Kisses. Aaliyah's sister, Amayla, watches F•R•I•E•N•D•S on her phone. Again, this reminds me Annie and I feel like crying. Annie was my only sister. She taught me to do my nails, makeup, hair, you name it. We'd stay up until 4am watching YouTube and Netflix together. And Caleb. He was my only brother. He would give me piggyback rides and would carry me when I got tired, even if his arms got tired. He was so kind and never teased me. Most of all, he loved me with all his heart, just like David did too.

I'm about to sob when a funny scene comes on the TV and I laugh with my friend and everything feels normal again.

At 3pm Mom comes and drives me home. I change into comfy sweatpants and a hoodie. I lay on my bed and watch another episode of Fuller House. Then I watch our vlog from yesterday.

First, Mom is filming me eating breakfast. Then we're in the car. While I was at school Mommy filmed herself making her special Mac and Cheese (that's what we had for dinner). After that is me getting in the car on the way home from school, with the usual "how was your day?" and "did you like it?"

I scroll through the comments:

I try not to cry, but the only way I can do that is by crying myself to sleep.
