My first day back home was spent in bed, recovering from jet lag and what felt like heartbreak. It wasn't a question of why I wasn't enough, or why didn't i see it sooner like with Jordan. It felt like I had left my heart somewhere hard to get back to, and had to rebuild it from where I was and who I had. Kyle was always the first to say he didn't want anything serious but I saw that change when I was away. He wanted to make sure I was okay, checked i was eating and sleeping, always on deck for support and some digital romance. I started to see the way my life changing, as I was maturing.
A brand and a business woman working for myself, that changed the people around and how they saw me too. My friendship group shrunk, dramatically after I got back from Canada. Someone needed a job, some money but was never someone I even considered close enough to ask that if me. Popularity makes real friends hard to decipher, it felt like everybody wanted something from me. Zianna was the same, as was Keisha but I wasn't even as close to them with their kids getting older and my career becoming my first born.

" Ly, wake up baby dinner is ready-" my phone against my face, eyes still shut as I came to. " thanks mum, I'll be down in a minute-" " okay-" I was slowly up and showered before I went downstairs in a robe, hair up in a wild bun, and I ate like I hadn't in years. " you look amazing, you got a tan?" " yeah the last video was shot in Atlanta" " okay! - we can't wait to see them-" my sister was excited for me and told me how much her friends thought I was pretty and a good singer.

She was 15, and at my former school now, and I had been asked to be a celebrity guest at the summer talent showcase that year and I agreed. " you can't tell anyone though... it's a secret-" " when is it" " in June-" " okay, will you album be our then?" " yeah... so you promise to not tell anyone.. not even Beth, Ola or Della" " I promise, I won't tell anyone but only if... you let me borrow the Chanel backpack and your McQueen trainers when I go to Beths!" " which ones?" " the Tan bag with the white and the Ones with the snake at the back-" " hmmm...okay - deal-" we shook hands and smiled, we had been making these deals for years. Back in the days it was to not tell my mum I had snuck out to a party, or to Jordan's house, but as she got older it would be to come to events with me, or borrow pieces she liked.
