" Veyanna Clairesse?, I like your name," Mira said. Veya thought so too, her name came from her parent's name and her aunt's. " Yeah, Veyanna came from my Dad and Clairesse is my aunt's name, they thought I was a boy and should be named Ian Seth Christopher combination of my 2 grandfather's name and the name of my uncle.
Veya and Mira became close, unleashing their deepest secrets on gamecord on call. Laughing for hours and watching videos together. after a few minutes, Mira talked about boys and Veya mentioned Cairo.
"who's Cairo?" Mira asked. Veya started to panic and turn a bit red. "oh he's just a friend here in school" Veya replied. Mira seems not satisfied with her answer, she confronts Veya and asks what grade is he in. Veya starts to look very suspicious and answers quietly. "uh a year grade higher from you..." Mira had to think so long and see who from the list fits in for the name Cairo. she then finds Cairo on Veya's friend page and screams in shock and a bit confused.
"ahhhhhh, him? how though?" Mira asked. Veya answered that they were friends back in school, we played football together. Veya suddenly freezes and Mira laughs and blurts out that it was okay and it is cute, but she reminds Veya. " ate Veya, I support you but I feel like you deserve better. what if something happens the way you want it, I'm kinda worried for you. Let me remind you he is grade 8 you got to think harder." Mira explained. she explains how worried she is maybe the time isn't okay now especially since Veya is moving up a grade and transferring, and feels like it seems kind of late.
"how long have you known each other?" Mira asks. "for about 2 years, but we just got to talk now, we talked before but just the hi, hellos, and helps." Veya replied. Veya suddenly got to thinking that Mira might be right. I might hurt myself again just like Jake. and fall in love again, with fear hanging on to her stomach causing moths to fly around her stomach, right no butterflies, moths! moths!
"you might be right Mira, but what if it's okay?" Veya asks Mira. Mira stays silent "now that is up to you." Mira replies.
classes end and Veya sits in her room thinking about what Mira said and plans to call Reko to have a second opinion on what she is going into. But Cairo texts her...
Instagram DMs
@cairo_DLS: busy??
@VeyaClairesse_: no.. just studying, what's up?
@cairo_DLS: One game??
@VeyaClairesse_: Okay yeah sure
they both played and their one game multiplied to 10 games, funny while playing she felt so comfortable like she can tell Cairo anything and Cairo will be there to comfort her, she feels safe life safe skies passing through the clouds and hiraeth.
she feels like she needs another opinion about her indecisive decisions and plans with what to do when her feeling continues to grow and never fall into cordolium. It's madness, for Earth keeps spinning it seems like it always led back to him. I mean is it about him that makes her come back to him and wanting to have a deeper relationship. yet her fears kept butting in and letting her pass thru a phase that she feels like stupidly falling in love again like 2019. she then recalls what she had gone through that night that left her to breathe so shortly
After the 11th game with Cairo, she leaves and calls Reko quickly, crying in her traumatic stage where she remembers all the events that happened to her. Reko answers the calls recognizes the breathing of Veya, " Reko..." Veya Breathless. He rushes to her and as he gets to the house of Veya, Reko punches the door and sees veya on the floor crying and shaking. Reko hugs her tight and calms her down and tries to ease her. Reko was so devastated so concerned thinking it might have been something Cairo said to her, that left Veya thinking of Jake. Reko gone so mad, he tried to call Cairo through Instagram yet Veya stops him.
"it's not Cairo" Veya stops Reko's hand and she explains. Reko calms down and sits beside Veya his arms around her.
"trauma attacks?" Reko asked. Veya nodded. " It just came, I was thinking and one thing led to another I thought of it, the flat line the noise in the hospital the sound of the clear shots, His voice, her voice my cousin's scream like she lost a leg... I remember it all" Veya replies. and places her head on Reko's shoulder. "what were you thinking about?" Reko asks. "Cairo" veya answered. Reko knew that she was afraid, afraid that somehow she feels the way she felt before.
"Veya, it's okay to be afraid to fall in love and telling him that will clear out things and help you decide... or maybe and if maybe you guys feel the same way, maybe you guys still have a deeper connection and relationship... just at least he knows what he is going into and what he is leaving if he does," Reko explained.
"I just hate people who absquatulate" Veya answered back
"that is life Veya, you take risks that may change something within and something that just scratches the tip of and that is okay." Reko preaches
" Trust Veya... that's only the thing I can say," Reko explains.
" I haven't said that I like him" veya replied
"well, I think you not innocent that you don't know you are already in love and you're denying it because of your fear of absquatulate." Reko answers.
