After crying I fell asleep and when I woke up Stokeley was gone. Well from beside me anyways. I got out of the bed and peeked my head out the door to see that he wasn't in the living room either.
I sighed and went back into the room, sitting on the bed. It was quiet for awhile until I heard something drop in the kitchen making me open the door to see Joey in the kitchen. When she heard the room door open she looked up at me.
"Hey Lily" she smiled at me making me smile back.
Joey is the only female who has been nice to me since my mom died and she lives with me. That's something that makes me smile.
"Hey Joey, what are you doing?" I asked her, walking into the kitchen.
"Well I found out where Jahseh hides his snacks so I was coming to still some" she told me making me nod at her.
"He isn't here either?" I asked as I sat on the stool and she shook her head.
"You want a snack?" She asked and I nodded.
She handed me a bag of Doritos making me smile.
"Aren't we going to get in trouble for this?" I asked and she shrugged.
"I probably will we can just lie and say you didn't know" she told me making me giggle.
"We never got to sit and have girl talk" she told me as she turned on Netflix and opened her cookies.
I smiled "yeah but we can now" I spoke and she nodded.
"So Lily how old are you?" She asked me.
"16 I'll be 17 next week" I answered and she nodded.
"I'm 17 I won't be 18 until next year" she told me and I nodded.
"Why'd you move in here?" I asked her but I realized my question might've seemed harsh.
"I didn't mean it in a rude way I'm excited to have a friend I just want to know" I explained myself and she nodded and put her head down.
"Things are just complicated at home right now that's all" she told me.
"What about you? How'd you get to stay with your boyfriend at such a young age?" She asked making my eyes widen a little.
"Stokeley has custody of me, well for now anyways because my aunt now wants custody but yeah" I told her and she nodded.
I hope she doesn't ask me about my parents.
"Ouuu do you want to do nails?" She asked next making me smile and nod.
"I have some nail polish in my room, wait here" I told her as I ran into the room to get the nail polish that sat on top of the dresser.
After I picked up the polishes I ran back into the living room with Joey.
She was already sitting on the floor and eating her cookies. I sat in front of her and placed the polished beside each other.
"Which color?" I asked her and she pointed at the turquoise.
I nodded and held my hand out for her hand, she placed her hand in mine and let me start to paint her nails.
"Do you ever go get your nails professionally done?" She asked me and I shook my head.
"Why not?"she asked and I shrugged.
"I just never went" I answered and she nodded.
"I want to go with you one day" she told me and I nodded and smiled.
That would be nice.
