Ocean sat in the kitchen of the house sipping on her coffee as everyone else in the house was asleep. It was early in the morning and she had no idea why she woke up so early and why she couldn't go back to sleep. Especially since she wouldn't be able to once Aniyah woke up. As she was sitting there, Kelly walked into the kitchen.

"Morning" she said before pouring herself some coffee, adding all the stuff she liked.

"Morning" Ocean said back, looking at her phone.

Kelly sat with her and leaned against her sister as she looked through the phone with her. It's been a month since lockdown and the break up and Kelly still was off social media but that didn't mean she couldn't look at her sisters.

"Who's that?" She asked, pointing to a post she saw as her sister scrolled.

"Devin Booker. He plays for the Phoenix Suns" Ocean explained and Kelly nodded.

"Oh yea. That's where I recognized him from. He gets in fights a lot" she chuckled.

Ocean nodded and grabbed an apple and sliced it, splitting it between the two. Kelly's phone rang and she answered it seeing it was Saige.

"You're up early" Kelly said with a smile and got up, going to the living room.

"I really couldn't sleep. A lot is going on" Saige sighed as she laid in her bed.

"Like what?" Kelly laid on the couch, covering up

"This whole pandemic thing. It's stressful for everyone" Saige said and Kelly nodded.

"Yea. London is freaking out every other day with each update, I'm worried about the twins, Grammy, Grandpa and the two little ones here. And then on top of that, it's your birthday today"

"Oh yea it is" Saige chuckled as she forgot her own birthday.

"How does it feel to be 18? Anything about you feel new?" Kelly chuckled.

"Nope" Saige sighed. "Probably because im stuck here and not with my bestie"

"You think momma would be mad if I snuck out to come see you?" She joked.

"No but she'd murder you" Saige laughed. "How are you? You doing better?"

"Yea. Being off social media has helped me a lot. I know there will always be those comments but they were a lot when I was in a relationship. Hopefully when this is over, melo and I can talk and figure it out"

Saige didn't say anything and shook her head at her friend. She knew Kelly loved LaMelo but she thought he wasn't right for her. At least not right now. He wasn't very mature and Kelly was mature for her age. She wanted someone better for her best friend.

"Why did you get quiet?" Kelly asked, noticing Saige's sudden quietness.

"I have someone to tell you but I don't know if it's best to tell you" Saige mumbled.

"You can tell me" Kelly urged her on.

"I think he is with someone else" she said and Kelly didn't say anything. "He's been commenting under posts and posting this girl"

"Oh" was all she said. "Well good for him" she rubbed her face. "He can do what he wants but I'm not that surprised. All the others times he hasn't waited long"

"So that means you would be open to seeing someone else?" Saige asked and Kelly chuckled.

"Not at the moment, babe" Saige pouted and Kelly smiled. "Gotta heal a bit more. I love him you know?"

Saige caught now she said love instead of loved so she knew it would be a while.

"Yea, I know" she rubbed her face. "Take all the time you need. I'll be here for you"
