Nalia's POV
Walking into my humble abode, I took off my shoes putting the on the rack beside the door changing into my fuzzy indoor slippers.

I turned around to see Diamond with her head down.

I honestly don't know how to feel about her being in my presence right now.

I may be a cold hearted person but I'm not that evil, by the looks of it, I knew she needed some type of help.

"N-Nalia I'm sorry f—" Diamond squeaked out making me groan in annoyance.

"Diamond, please stop talking, I'm not about to hear your long delayed apology right now. I'm drained of energy and I'm tired so please just go to the guest bedroom down the hall and reside there" I told her walking towards my bedroom after grabbing a water bottle from the fridge in the kitchen.

Before she could say anything else I was gone.

I was in my bedroom pacing around frustratedly, the one person I was so close to despising with all my heart is enjoying the warmth of my home because I'm way too nice.

'Should I give her clothes to change to? Her white dress looked torn and dirty' I was having an internal battle with myself right now.

Fuck it, I went into walk-in closet, I picked up a black nightwear pajamas for her to sleep in.

A brand new underwear set, and a yellow floral sundress for her to wear tomorrow.

Strolling out of my bedroom then made my way to the guest room down the hall.

I heard sniffing sounds, opening the door I saw Diamond in the bed with her face red from crying.

I knock on the door twice to get her attention.

"Oh, I'm sorry" She quickly looked up and jumped off the bed to stand on the floor.

"Here are some things I think you'll need" I entered inside the room more placing it on the bed.

"Nalia, I can't thank you enough for your kindness to me" Diamond started rambling I held my hand up for her to stop.

I shook my head "I'm not being kind to you, it's just that my conscience wants me to be a decent human being and won't allow me to do what I would love to do, which is to kick you out so you can right go back to your parents" I coldly said to her.

I saw the tears that were threatening to escape Diamond's eyes but I payed no mind to it.

I held the door and looked over my shoulder "Tomorrow I want you to tell me your purpose for seeking me out instead of your friends and if you lie to me, I'm taking you back to your parents" Not wanting to hear her voice anymore, I exited the guest room.

"Ugh! Why am I so damn nice? I need a drink" Entering the kitchen and into my liquor cabinet.

I didn't bother getting a glass because I feel like drinking from the bottle.

'I swear if I keep drinking because of my stress my liver will get muddy and deteriorate' I slap my forehead repeatedly.

My phone started vibrating in my back pocket indicating I got a call.

I clicked accept and put it on loud speaker
"Hello Love, is everything alright over there? Do you want me to come over? Is there anything bothering you? Please, answer me?" Elijah throws questions at me frantically with missing the worry filled tone in his velvety voice.

"Baby, do you know that I'm way to nice to people that have wronged me no matter how much shit they had put me through I'm still a noble, prudent person towards them instead of being a evil, vindictive bitch. But thanks to Granny and Grandpa for raising me right even though my real parents didn't give a damn about me." I sat on the barstool wallowing in sadness for myself I wanted to feel bitter but I just couldn't at all, the idea of hating someone didn't quite well with me.

Elijah lets out a long sigh "Ok, I guess I'm coming over" He announced.

"No baby, I want you to stay home and  be a good host for your parents because I could see it in their eyes that they missed you dearly. Promise me?" I tried to sound cute at the last part of my sentence making Ezra grunt.

"I promise to make no promises but if I feel any bit of worry wash over me tonight, I promise that you'll find me in your bed, with you cuddled to my chest and me protecting you from any harms way" Elijah confessed to me.

I felt like crying when he said all those words, my heart is pounding rapidly.

"Thank you so much baby, see your fine self tomorrow. I Love you" I cut the call immediately when I realized my mistake.

I wanted to save it for another time when I felt it would be perfect.

'Fuck! Now what do I do?'
