Right By Your Side.

Chapter 2: The Break Down & The Build Up, pt 2

I wake up out of my sleep to a dream about Zach, immediately throwing my emotions all over the place. I have a quick cry to shake it off a little before wiping my face, putting my brave face back on because "the show must go on" hah. I sit up to get out of the bed, turning to check my freshly changed pillows.. burnt. 

"great.."

I roll my eyes, slide my slippers on & head to the bathroom. I shower, brush my teeth.. typical hygiene things, before putting on attire to go on for the day.. As I run through my closet of options, I can't stop thinking about the dream. I saw him somewhere, but I can't remember where exactly. The place felt familiar but I had never been there before.. I went to speak to him, but he insisted that he had never met me before. However, said that I looked familiar.. Weird, right? 

I mean, dreams are known to be weird.. but how ironic..

A place I never been before - at least in my dream this is what came to me, but the essence of the place felt comforting.. nostalgic. Him, saying he did not know me, but I struck him as a familiar face.. We are married.

As I tumble down the rabbit hole of thoughts, I shake my head to remind myself to focus. 

"No pondering over things you have no control over."

I grab my outfit, throwing my clothes on. My hair in a messy bun, grabbing my bag & I jet out for the day.

I got an alert in the shower that I was needed over at the Air kingdom because where was some dispute to handle between two couples.. Neighbors. I told the Air Emperor I would be right over to handle it, since he said he had to work on the radio overhead station that provides the news & gossip - They had a lightening storm pass over. I land to see four people tongue wrestling with one another (as in arguing) so I swoop in to calm it down.

"Alright, alright, alright.. break it up. What's going on now? Every couple of weeks with you two"

The wives immediately pitch their statements, "She's always talking about me like I can't hear her through the windows. She's so fake, then comes over here asking for my phone to call somebody"

"I was never talking about you! I've been trying to be nice to you every since I moved into this gotdamn house but you are fucking rude!"

I chime in, "Okay so wait a moment.. If she is saying she isn't talking about you, then what are you talking about? What time through the window are you even talking about?"

Meanwhile, the ladies husbands are aggressively standing behind them with this 'Yeah, what she said' demeanor.

"She called me a whore & said I slept with someone's cousin, or something of another."

Lady number 2 jumped in, "I wasn't talking about you! I was talking about my sister Tonya!"

"... Ohh.." says lady number 1. She has this 'oops' look on her face, in which I snarl at her. Curiously, I ask her, "What's that face about?"

".. See, we never exchanged names.. So, the day we both had our windows open, I heard her say 'Tonya' and I thought she was just trash talking me.. but I see you were talking about another Tonya."

I feel my ears get hot as I begun to grow agitated.

"So really, all this time, you've been giving her hell over what was essentially you eaves dropping? There is a way to communicate yourself, and get the under standing you need to handle situations better..." I paused looking at the men, before proceeding. "What does the men have to do with this?"
