Let It Go •BBH

003

Daphne's POV

As soon as the car came to a stop, Aurora wakes up and hops out of the car, slamming the door.

"What's wrong with her?" I asked thinking out loud.

"It's getting close to her parents anniversary and you know how she acts around this time of year." Naya answers.

"I didn't even realize how close it is." I said checking my phone to see the date.

"Did something happen while you guys were at the park?"

"We had just noticed how distant she was while we were at the mall and pointed it out when we got to the park." Said Naya.

"She cried for literally a second then tried to pick a fight with me." Stella said voicing her frustration.

I nodded head, understanding both of the sides of the story.

"You just have to give her some time." I said.

"I was just trying to comfort her. I wanted her to know that it was ok to be sad about it and that we are here for her." Stella replied.

"I know Star but you have give her space when she asks for it. I was the same way when my dad died, even though he treated me like shit." I said looking down at my fingers.

The car falls silent as we sit in our thoughts before Naya speaks.

"I think you should go and try to talk to her and hear her out. You know her trauma runs deep and it rears its head especially around this time." She says to Stella.

"I'll talk to her but I can't forgive her just yet." Stella says, exiting the car quickly to avoid our protests.

Naya and I sigh at her pettiness.

As I was about to get out of the car Naya stops me.

"So, what happened at work?" She asked.

I sighed, laying back down against my seat.

"It was just a bad day like things just kept happening. Like my boss constantly hits on even though I told him I wasn't interested. Then Zuri, the only person I talk to, wasn't there. And to top it all off some of the old ass bitches there kept talking shit behind my back." I finished with a huff.

"You can't tell boss about the women?" Naya asked.

"I would but I know he's not going to do anything about it. He's just going to tell me what I want to hear so I can go out with him. It's fucked up." I say frustrated.

Naya nods, agreeing with me. But her mind is in a different place.

"You can be my assistant at Snapshot." She suggests.

"Umm I don't know about that Nae, I love you and all but I don't think I can be your assistant. I don't like taking orders, no offense."

"I totally understand but think about it. It's not like your my servant, you don't need to wait for my every beck and call. You just need to help me with a few things here and there." She states but she sees that I'm still hesitant about the idea.

"Work hours aren't too long and the pay is good. And you can be my model for test shoots."

"But doesn't Aurora already do that?"

"Yea but she works with different photographers."

I sit and think for a second. My job really sucks and modeling is my dream. Doing this could really help build my portfolio.
