"I SWEAR IT was somewhere in here." Ayesha grumbles looking for the disinfectant.

"Look Ayesha, if you keep loosing that damn bottle you won't be able to clean up that wound and it'll get infected." Tommy says starting to loose his patience.

"I know!" Ayesha also starts to loose her patience.

The young woman walks over to a chest of drawers near her front door, while Tommy looks in a cupboard. Ayesha opens a drawer containing bandages for her wound and scatters them, hoping to find the disinfectant. But instead she finds a radio and a walkie-talkie.

Ayesha sighed, feeling annoyed that she couldn't find the bottle of disinfectant.

"Nevermind, it's there I found it." Tommy says making Ayesha jump in surprise.

The young woman abruptly closes the drawer behind her, then turns back to Tommy.

"Thank you." Ayesha smiles at Tommy before walking to him as he hands her the bottle.

"By the way," Tommy starts, giving the disinfectant to Ayesha, "Joel told me Ellie keeps talking about you... So, you guys are really friends?"

Ayesha freezes, she doesn't know what to say. She doesn't want to admit that she and Ellie have indeed become friends, because that would mean proving Tommy right, which Ayesha really doesn't want to do.

"Joel told you that?" Ayesha raises an eyebrow before walking to the table.

"He did. See? I told you, you can be friends with them. Next step is Dina."

The young woman replies with a long, annoyed sigh before rolling her eyes.

"Ellie is different. And ain't no way I am becoming friends with Dina, she hates my guts." Ayesha sits down.

"Whatever, I am happy you get along well with Ellie, she seems to really like you." Tommy walks to the young woman.

Ayesha didn't really know what it meant. She just watched Tommy move towards her as the words swirled around in her head. Ellie liked her. What did it even mean?

"I am proud of you." He slides his hand around Ayesha shoulders, tapping her gently, which made the woman smile slightly.

Ayesha watches Tommy walk towards the door before opening it and turning to Ayesha, smiling at her before he disappears behind the door, leaving the young woman in the middle of her living room, confused.

...

"IT JUST FEELS like everything's falling apart." Jesse explains.

It's been almost ten minutes since the Asian explained to Ayesha how his relationship with Dina was beginning to fall apart. Ayesha is a good listener and is always there to give advice, but asking Ayesha for love advice is pointless as she's clearly not cut out for it.

"I feel like I am starting to loose control of everything. All we do is fight all the time, to the point I get anxious when I speak to her because I am afraid we might argue again."
