"Rose is back in town visiting finally!", Yami cheered.

"Is that so?", I asked while looking through instagram.

"Yes! I'm hosting a beautiful dinner!", she smiled.

I just hummed.

I haven't been the same since what Devin did to me.

I felt filthy.

Oliver has been keeping him away from me.

He blew up my phone constantly though.

'I'm sorry. We really need to talk, I've changed.', he wrote.

How can you change in a month?

"When is this dinner?", I asked her.

"Tonight, goose! You need to get up so that you can help me cook.", she said while tapping my head as she walked past me.

Sighing, I rolled my eyes.

"How many people are going to be here, Yami?", I asked her annoyed.

"20, and don't get no attitude with me.", she mugged.

"20!", I yelled.

"20.", she responded and crossed her arms.

"20?", I asked again.

I had to make sure she wasn't joking.

"21, 22, 23, 24.....", Drake sang copying off of that one guy from Tik Tok who sings when he counts.

"Drake, gone now.", Yami laughed.

I wasn't laughing though.

"Stop being a party pooper.", Robyn said and nudged my hip.

"I'm gone party pop you. Don't nudge me.", I mugged.

"She must be PMSing.", Heather spoke causing Yami and Lola to laugh out loud.

"Haha so funny.", I spoke and stormed of into the kitchen.

Drake followed me and grabbed my arm to stop me.

He turned me around and hugged me.

"I know, Valerie. I know.", he whispered into my hair.

"Whenever I called you

I couldn't say

It was only yesterday

And yesterday's so far away

What's the ETA?

Don't tell me you need me

I am estranged

And I'm over-aged

The trouble it may be

There's still a part of me

That has to know

What you have to say

On and on we go

Always with the ghosts of us in tow

Stuck somewhere between a friend and foe

Round and round we go

Oh, round and round again

Looking for a life beyond the end

Lost somewhere between a foe and friend
