Authers note

Before this chapter egins I would just like to apologize for the long wait. My mental health has been spiraling.

But thank you for all the love and support I really appreciate it and sorry once again for the long wait.

Aileen pov

After what feels like an eternity ,my vision is filled with brightly colored houses.Tightly stacked. ocean waves can be seen from affar.

Turning into the small village. Driving along the Grey road. "your have reached your destination "
Maps reminds me. Stopping the car I turn over to ivy who's eyes are tightly shut in a deep slumber. Maybe we shouldn't have been so wild last night.

I lightly graze me hand over her soft cheak. "Were here" She grunts and turns over in her seat facing me. Her tired eyes open slighty. Their seemingly dull and tired. She sighs and move up in her seat.

"We don't have to do this if you don't want to, we could just -"

"No, no I just couldn't sleep well yesterday night." a faint blush tinted across her face.

"Yeah... Anyways we're here" I smile at her.

"Oh... it's beautiful!" She exclaimes only now observing her surroundings. "It's really is, we should get going. " I watch as her body tenses up.

I grab her hands in mine and our eyes lock.,
"everythings going to be fine, even if it doesn't turn out how we expect I'll still be there right next to your side."

"You know your the best right" she gives me a slight smile and catches me by surprise as she pulls me into a tight hug. I relax into her embrace. her floral perfume calming me.

I feel her grip losen as she then continues to unlock the car. Following suit, we walk down the tiled stairs hand in hand. We stop in front of a red door which persumingly is her house.

She lifts up her wrist and knocks in the rustic red door. Silemce follows. Hmp I quess she's not home. She lidts her wrist for the second time only to be enterupted.

"Geia eínai óla kalá" a woman with dark hair ask her brows knitted together. Holding two bags filled with groceries.

"Oh sorry we don't speak greek" Ivy informs her.

"Oh ok sorry, I was asking of everything alright, you're probably lost that's my houses door your knocking on" She offers a slight smile

"Well if your Zenia Dwight, then I think we're at the right place " Ivy smiles brightly at her, already knowing the answer.

"Yes that's me, and you are"

"Ivy Dwight. "

Zenia freezes, it's as if everything is happening in slow motion. her grocery bags fall out of her grip, vegetables rolling down the brick path. Sliding towards the road below.

A stray tear rolls down Ivy's face. Zenia snaps out of her daze."Come inside. " she offers while unlocking the door her house. She looks at both as us with a forced smile and confusion still apparent on her face.

The house is modern but cozy with lots of color, but it's still coherent. "Oh I'm so sorry and you are? " Zenia looks at me. "I'm Aileen, nice to meet you."

She shakes my hand awkwardly but her eyes are only focused on her sister who is visably uncomfortable.

"And are you two related somehow- " Zenia looks at us, probably looking for any similarities.

"Oh no we're um-" Ivy says panic evedent in her tone, she looks at me unsure if we should tell her or not. I mean we only met her now....

"No, I'm her girlfriend. " I say while smiling confidently, watching as Zenia facial expression changes from shocked, to calm again, to anger?...

I can see ivy blush from the corner of my eye. "Why did you only decide to come talk to me now? " She says passive aggressively, her eyes directed to ivy completly ignoring my existence, which I understand.

"I'm sorry I really am, I was afraid and I didn't know what to say-" I can feel Aileens hands shaking.

"Hmmm let me think maybe a 'sorry I never made any effort to find you after you were kicked out of our house years ago, for something you even do! ' " She almost screamed. Her eyes were filled with ander with hints of sadness.

"I was selfish and only thought about myself,but I tried to get your number multiple times, belive me I really did. but it was so hard to get any form of contact, firstly our parents completly deleted anything from you and you have almost no social media. I really did try, please belive me. " the last sentence almost came out as a whisper. As tears started whelling up in her eyes.

I look over to Zenia, she's just standing there emotionless. It's like their complete strangers to each other. Then the unexpected happend. She walks towards ivy and wraps her arms around her.

I can her her faintly say, "My littel sister really grew up. "Ivy just stands there like a statue before relaxing into the hug.

The unlocking of the door can be heard faintly before the door creaks open.

"Mom I'm home. "The girl says cheerfully."Oh hi" she smiles awkwardly at me and ivy. Before turing towards Zenia and mouthing "Who are they? "

"Oh sorry, this is my daughter Maya and this is your aunt Ivy and her girlfriend Aileen"
