Lyla been in her house for weeks working eating sleeping on repeat not giving anything the time of day if it doesn't revolve around those three things. She been working twice as much as she usually would making more money on the plus side but it overwhelming her. That has been an distraction emotion then what she had went through. She received numerous of missed messages and calls from Mir, Brooke, Xay even Eli but she didn't answer them because she just didn't feel like it.

*Knock Knock Knock*

I went to open the door to see a smiling Brooke with chick fil a in her hand "girl time?" She said barging in my apartment without letting me saying anything about it.

"Well hello to you too I guess" I said closing and locking my door walking to the kitchen to where she had took the food too.

"At least you got my order bsf I love you." I said hugging her as she laughed and hugged me back sticking a fry in her mouth.

My chick fil a order is 12pc chicken nugget meal with Mac and cheese with 3 Polynesian sauces. Bombbb asf im putting yawl on.

"Soooo what's with the pop up" I asked

"Gurl u been ghosting me for days almost weeks now so I figured me showing up at ur house was the only to talk to you since using the phone wasn't working" she said honestly and it's true like I literally haven't sent not one text to anyone

"and ik what had happened was hard and ur still processing it but I think u should talk to someone about it Ly." She said as I was stuffing my face with this good food not really paying attention to the words coming out her mouth. It's going through one ear and out the other I get for me, Ik she's just trying to help right now but I'd rather be focused on other things then the fact that I almost got raped.

"Anyway" I said dipping my chicken nugget in Polynesian sauce. I saw that she rolled her eyes in response and I let it slide bc i honestly don't care and didn't wanna deal with her shit. I'm dealing with it my way perfectly fine thank you very much.

"What's going on between you and mir" she said and I just started laughing.

"Mhm so something really is going on that's all I needed to confirm my suspicion how yawl was so hugged up inna room and I saw him kiss you on ur way out."

"Damn gurl Wtf is you a spy, stalker or both can't get no privacy huh?" I said

"Nope not at all" she said with a big smile on her face.

I gave her the whole run down on everything with me and jamir and how it started at the mall and currently going with the situation at the appointment with the same ole girl who was at the mall.

"wow" she said.

"can't wait to tell everybody else"

"aht ah ah no we don't want ppl in our business like that, im only telling you because your my bsf and ur were going to find out eventually. i know you brooke." I told her

"Yea ur right, but at least the inner circle should know I wasn't referring to outside people until you and mir decide to say sum"

"Well then yea I guess but it ain't all that serious"

"Whatever you say awe and I added you to the group chat"
