I don't think grateful is a strong enough word to describe how I'm feeling. Imagine feeling grateful but times that by 10 because that's how I'm feeling, grateful x10. I received the news on Friday today is now Wednesday. Friday night the boys stayed over. Saturday the girls came over for a girls night, we did face masks and watched cheesy rom-coms. Sunday and Monday Colby stayed over. Yesterday which was Tuesday I received the letter off my father, have I opened it? No do I have intentions to open it? Not right now. Sam kept telling me I should or at least have someone else read it as there may be something important in there but honestly I couldn't care less about what my father has to say. Last night Sam Colby Corey and Jake all went to Griffith Park to which I declined and stayed in my apartment on my own.
I haven't noticed as much 'paranormal' activity around the apartment for a while. At first I thought it was because I was genuinely going crazy at that time or whatever was following me had gone that was until last night. While the boys were out I kept hearing footsteps in my living room but when I went to look there was nothing there. Thankfully this time my door stayed locked after I had locked it and I don't feel as though I'm going crazy again. Tonight isn't much different, I'm in my bed watching Netflix on my laptop while cuddling my pregnancy pillow that smells of Colbys aftershave, thinking of which I need to get Colby to spray more on to it as it's starting to fade. I start to hear footsteps in the living room, I get up and take a look not even sure why I did because I knew the outcome from the start. Nothing there, so I crawl back into my bed and continue to watch Netflix when I swear I hear my name being called by a male voice. This is very new, that's never happened before. Maybe I'm just imagining things? I try to focus on what I'm watching but I hear my name being called once again, but this time it sounded like my abuela. I send a text in to our group chat

I put my phone down and try speaking out "Mamá, Abuela if you're here can you make a noise or turn the TV on or just do something" I wait in complete silence, nothing happens

I put my phone down and try speaking out
"Mamá, Abuela if you're here can you make a noise or turn the TV on or just do something" I wait in complete silence, nothing happens. I sigh, how silly was I to think that they might actually be here? I'm silly for thinking the paranormal exits, of course it doesn't it's just my mind playing tricks on me. I wanted to believe so bad that I was subconsciously making myself think I heard things when I didn't. I turn off my laptop and snuggle down under my covers. Just as I'm about to fall asleep I hear my mothers voice
"Buenas noches àngel" (Goodnight angel).

The next day I wake up to find my bed sheets on the floor, must have had a restless night last night. I get up and do my usual routine, today I'm having breakfast with Kat, Devyn, Tara, Cassie and Xepher. I grab my purse and head out locking the door behind me. I drive to each of the girls places and pick them up, Cassie and Xepher are meeting us at the cafe
"Im so in love with this car" Devyn says getting in the back
"I love it so much. I swear if anyone scratches it I'm probably gonna cry" I chuckle and start the car back up. We sing songs on the way to the cafe and park up meeting Xepher and Cassie at our usual table
"Hey girls" Cassie says standing up to hug us, Xepher soon following
"We ordered for you" Xepher says pointing to the drinks on the table "food should be here in a bit, we got your usuals hope that's ok"
"Yes that's fine sorry we're a bit late. Someone was going dead slow and was overly cautious" Devyn laughs
"Hey I was doing the speed limit" I say taking a sip of the green tea
"If the limit was 40 then yes you were" Tara laughs along with Devyn, the other girls join in
"Well we're here now. I didn't want my baby to get hurt"
"Baby? What what have I missed?" Tara looks at me confused
"The car" I shake my head
"Damn it" Tara looks sad
"I thought you were gonna tell us that you were pregnant. Got a little excited"
"Errr I think Kat and Sam will be the first to have babies"
"And why do you think that?"
"Well you've been together for ages"
"So have you and Colby" Cassie shrugs
"2 years Cassie"
"Nearly 3" Kat points out
"Ok ok I get it. But still you and Sam have been together longer and I dunno Colby and I haven't really talked about it much"
"What do you mean?" Tara asks
"Well when we first started dating we said we both wanted kids but not for a while, haven't spoken about it since" I shrug, maybe we should have this conversation again just so I know where his heads at and he knows where mine is
"Anyway how was the boys' investigation last night?" Xepher asks
"Honestly not sure I haven't actually spoken to Colby yet this morning, it's to early for him to wake up"
"Yeah, I rang Jake but he didn't answer"
"They need their beauty sleep" Kat giggles
"True" I point to Kat
"So Devyn how are you and Corey?"
"Were good. Just taking it slow, I think we rushed our relationship a little and we just lost the spark but when we took time away from each other the spark came back"
"I'm glad your both happy, we went through a fair few boxes of tissues didn't we" I smile
"Yeah we did. When one of us is crying we all cry"
"Very true" Xepher laughs. Our food arrives and we eat after we have eaten we go shopping before heading back to all out apartments.
