There once lived a female who put others above herself, she felt it was the only way to truly be loved.
There once lived a male who thought he was alone, he felt undeserving of all the wonderful things life had to offer.
Their story was written in...

"Nikola Bea Cooper, get your cute ass down here." Dinah yells into the loft
"Alright, alright" I sigh standing up from my piano
"You know I showcase in a week and I am still short two songs, right?" My question directed to my sisters Dinah and Audra
"We know we know, but we have a little surprise for you. The massive amount of stress you are under is driving everyone crazy. So in effort to not murder you with a hammer we have a little surprise lined up." Dinah says mischievously
"And before you try and wiggle your way out of this just be aware this will change your life." Audra tacks on
"And I cannot somehow bribe my way out of this? Tickets to a show maybe. Oh or dinner somewhere super fancy." I plead
"Nope" They answer with a pop "Fine. What should I bring with me on this terrible timed "adventure"?" I growl through clenched teeth
"It's like you've never met us. Go change into something comfortable." Audra commands
"Ma'am yes ma'am" I offer a mock salute as I turn on my heel.
I grab my favorite jeans, a loose black tee, my docs, and a quarter zip.
Something twists in my gut that encourages me to go along with their plan. I have learned to always trust my instincts and now they are telling me I am doing the right thing despite my responsibilities here. But in an overabundance of caution I throw a few extra blades into the pocket.
"Daylight is wasting." Dinah hollers
"It is 10:00 pm on a Tuesday night, daylight has been wasted." I state
I walk into the living room to find a portal open and waiting. With a raised brow I sigh and fall through the portal. The thing you have to understand about portal travel is that it sucks. Falling through a vacuum of pure and total darkness before you are shoved through a small opening in reality. It causes me to unload all of the food in my stomach more often than not. And it will leave you with a headache that could knock an elephant in their ass. My feet hit firm ground and my knees instantly buckle. Have I mentioned I really hate portal travel?
