The bell finally rings at the end of the day. I keep thinking about Zuri and us holding hands as I smile my way back home.

Yet opening the door to my household again washing a disapointing saddness over me. But I walk into the living room ignoring the feeling as I see my family doing what they regularly do.

I look towards my youngest sister in the room; Layla. Her eyes filled with glee as she plays with just a couple toys. "Hey٫ Layla!" I shout to her.

"Huh?" she tries to find me. Layla runs to me and gives me a hug. I make it last and then ask if she wants to head to the park with me. She turns and asks mom for permission; "mommy٫ can I please go with sister Ammie?"

"Of course. Make sure you watch her Amiliea." she says and turns to me. "Mhm." I take an excited Layla with me and head out the door.

************

We finally made our way to the playground and I watched as she ran around and played with the few toys she brought. I did plan to hang out with her but I really missed Zuri so I had to invite her.

She walked over just a few minutes later. She does live pretty close to this park. She may look just the same since I met her٫ but she looked so beautiful through my eyes. We greeted each other and it's a good thing that she's okay with my sister being around because I just couldn't wait to hold her hand again.

We sat on the slide as my sister played and we chatted. This is probably the most I've ever learned about her in one moment. I held her hand and we looked into each others eyes for a good minute or two. But then Layla came over and we both turned to her. She said she was tired and asked for me to take her home.

I sighed and we got up from the slide. "It's ok if I walk you home right?" I look Zuri in the eyes and she agreed as I intertwined our hands again. I take Layla with us and I walk Zuri to her house٫ enjoying every little second of it.

Unfortunately٫ since she lives so close to the park we were at- it only took a matter of minutes before we had to seperate again. We said good bye and me and Layla walked home.

************

I open the door letting Layla run in as I close and lock it behind me. I walk in to see everyone eating dinner. I sit down but finish up my food quickly so I can lay in bed and think about Zuri.

I get ready for sleep and hop on my bed after dinner. Instantly thinking about Zuri٫ I miss her. I loved holding her hand and hugging her when I get the chance.

To be honest٫ I also enjoy when we're alone. It can be awkward- but it's fine because I know Zuri٫ and I can handle it. I love when no one can ruin our still stares into each others eyes. Or break the connection with our intertwined fingers٫ I like it when we're together.

Zuri takes over my mind making it hard to sleep. It takes an hour or two٫ but eventually she's the last thing I think about before I doze off.

A/N

I am so sorry for leaving you guys and not working on any of this. :,(

I've had so much on my mind but hopefully- I am back. I remember having other plans but it's been so long- if I do remember though I might put it later on in the series.

I do hope you're enjoying this- and I honestly can't wait to see how it actually ends. But I do also love writing this. Either way have a good day/night.
