*A Month Later*

A month ago i graduate from high school, i already sign up for college classes to began my nursing career. As i was walking out of the advisor office, i see Bryan siting by himself reading some forms. As i get closer, Bryan picks up his head and smiles at me. I smiled back and say hi. As i sit next to him we began to talk. "Have you talked to my brother lately?" Says Bryan. I look at Bryan and shake my head. No not really i say. Bryan stays quiet and says, "i see". As we continue talking about school, one of the advisors calls Bryan in to his office. I then say bye to Bryan and head outside the school to get fresh air. While i wait for my brother to come get me. I get a call from Mia. I answer the phone an hear her eating something. What are you eating Mia? I say laughing. Veggie chips says mia laughing.

We continue to talk on the phone until jay arrives. I hang up the call with Mia as jay unlocks my side of the door and i get in. As jay is driving us back home, jay looks at me and says, so i heard about Emerson having a baby with his girlfriend. I look back at my brothers and say "yeah, i know" i look away. He told me that night you know, poor guy was terrified my brother says. I thought to myself why is my brother bringing this up just now. Can you just stop taking about Emerson. I moved on with my life, I'm happy for him that he's going to be a father and honestly i wish him the best but please I don't want to know anything about him anymore" i say. My brother looks at me in shocked and stays quiet during the whole ride home.

As we get home, i get my backpack and run inside. My brother goes inside after i did. Later in the day my brother comes inside my room and apologize to me. He knew i had a big crush on Emerson since i was young, he and the guys knew all along. As my brother leaves my room Mia calls me. I answer the phone, Kaliyah i need to tell you something. What is it i say. Okay so Miguel told me not to tell you but obviously i was still going to you. Last night Emerson came over to Miguel's house to chat, it turns out that Emerson has always liked you, he liked you since you guys were young until y'all got older. He was afraid to tell you because he didn't wanted you guys friendship to get ruin and also because of him being scared of jay if something might of happened between you and Emerson. That's why he never had The courage to tell you. I stayed quiet and say, why is he confessing now when he knows its too late, why wasn't he able to face my brother and not be afraid of telling him how he really felt about me. He could of just talk to me about it maybe we could of figure something out. All this time i thought it was just a one side love but it turns out that it wasn't that case. He felt the same at some point as well. Mia says quiet and says, maybe he has his own reasons why he didn't Kaliyah.

I'm trying so hard to comprehend everything Mia told me but at the same time, I don't know what To think anymore. Everything change between Emerson and i. We stopped talking all of a sudden. He ignores me whenever he sees me. I feel like we're completely strangers at this point. I understand that he has more important things to worry about and so do i. I just have to move on and forget about him. Mia called my name as i come back from zoning out. Mia i think its time for me to finally let him go and continue my life i say to Mia. It's for the best Kaliyah says mia.

As we change the subject, mia finally told me that she's dating Miguel. I'm so happy for her. She truly deserves to be loved and well Taken care of.  She told me that she's having her first date with Miguel on Saturday. I gave her some pointers to help her, hopefully they do. She sounded so excited and happy. After everything she went through with her ex boyfriend since high school freshman she has been doing so well. I'm so proud of her for learning to love herself and moving on without the dude. I met the dude once and let me tell you, he was no good for my best friend.i just hope i'm wrong about Miguel or else he's face is having a meeting with my fist.

After an hour on Taking on the phone with mia, i told her that i was getting ready for bed and that i would be calling her tomorrow. She agreed and we both gave each other our farewells and hang up the call. I put my phone to charge and got up from bed to get a glass of water. As I was in The kitchen drinking my glass of water, i see Asher walking to the kitchen wearing a pink bunny robe. I couldn't contain my laughter so i Accidentally spit my water. Asher laughs at me and says "i thought you needed the laugh since I've notice you looking sad so i hope my ridiculous robe made you cheer up.' I look at Asher and smile. "Thank you Asher, i really appreciate you worrying about me" i say. Asher smiles and heads back to his room leaving me alone in the kitchen. As i clean up my mess, i go back to my room, change into my pjs and went to sleep.
