Captured hearts

Comforting her

Stef's: POV
After getting off the phone with Lena
I went upstairs to get the clothes we were wearing to the party this evening. I knew her parents were deceased, but she never told me how they died. Lena open up to me about a few things, I came to the realization
Lena is a very private person and she hard time trusting people. Lena doesn't like asking others for help
Channing and Amar'e' are very reserved, Channing tends to look for her younger Sister. Amar'e' is obsevent and sensitive much like Lena, Frankie has attached herself to Channing cause she's older and channing does stuff with Frankie
Amar'e' is scared of getting close to people.  She has her mother's heart
Amar'e' asked once not to break Lena's heart. That's when I realized
The last relationship Lena was in
Channing and Amar'e' must was affected by it that's why they grilled me so hard, l heard Frankie and Brandon come the door. I  got all our things together, Frankie's dress is in the garment bag. Her shoes are in the box, l finally brought a nice black dress with spaghetti straps. I headed downstairs and seen Frankie eating some yogurt with granola in it
Hey love bug how was your swimming Lesson, Stef asks her niece
Ms. Veronica says l'm doing a good job
With the back stroke. I also took a shower to get all the chlorine off my body, are we still going to channing and Amar'e''s birthday party Frankie said. This child doesn't miss a beat
Frankie's has been talking about the girls party for the few weeks.
Actually where gonna go over to Lena's house a little early why don't you head upstairs to brush your teeth
And get the girls gifts you brought them. I feel my brandon's eyes on me
He acts like my father at times
Brandon is twenty-four years old
I watched Frankie head up the stairs
I didn't want her hearing the conversation. What l say to Brandon
Francesca told me about your lady friend, l didn't know you were dating again. A word of advice take your time, l don't want this woman to break your heart. Frankie tells she's a pediatric surgeon and has two twin daughters, Brandon replies.
B l don't have to explain myself to you
I'm a grown ass woman. You sound like dad, Stef replied. Alright Stefanie Marie, l may be younger than you
Your my big sister. I shouldn't have to hear about your new relationship from my eight year old niece
Who acts more like mommy everyday
She hangs out with mother to much
Brandon States, l notice that Stef responded. Frankie comes back
With my bag and car keys in her hand
Thanks babe, let's hit the road
Frankie smiles wide. Brandon opens up the front door, l unlock my car
Frankie gets in the back seat.
I put our be longers in the trunk
And hoped in the car. I started it up
Lena's house is a thirty minutes away from the hospital, l'm trying think of the faster route. I decided on taking the highway, that's the only option at this point. I back out of the driveway
I need to take my time, cause I don't want to get into an accident. I hope
Lena is okay when I get there,
I'm not sure if Lena invited Kelly and Jenna to the party. Of course she probably did because they are daughter's Godparents, the sun is still out. It's doesn't take us long to get to her house, we turned down her street
There's a car parked in front of Lena's home. I pulled up behind her vehicle
I shut my car off, and exit the car
Frankie hops out. I open my trunk
While Frankie goes to ring the door bell, l get our bags out lock up my doors. When I got up the steps
Frankie was already inside. I knocked on the door, Channing looks through the window before opening the door
Hi sweetheart and happy birthday
is your mom available. I asked her
Hey Stef, she's upstairs with the make up artist you can come in channing
I'm thinking why does she need some body to her makeup, l said to myself
Channing shows me where to put my bags. We go into the guest room
That has a queen bed, flat screen tv on the wall. A chester draw, night stand, and bathroom. The room is ten times bigger than my room at home
Channing opens up the closet for me
I hang up the garment bags. Channing leaves me to get settled, l leave the room to go Frankie. Channing in the living room looking a magazine
I sat down on the sofa, mommy knows your hear. Just a heads up
When my mom comes down, she may seen a little off. At times she gets stressed out, so bad she losses her memory. It comes back a few hours
So don't be alarmed, if she asks you who you are. Channing tells me
I can't believe my beautiful girlfriend
The woman l'm in love with, it gets overly Stress and stuffer from short term memory loss. I better brace myself, for what's to come.
