It was the next day and Enola woke up quickly getting out of John B's bed. But then she remembered that no matter how late our she was, her father didn't so much care for that anymore. It's starting to bother her more now. Her one real parent and that's how he is. Rose isn't her mother but she was slightly more caring although she doesn't interfere too much.

Enola the tapped John B a few times before he finally woke up. "What..", John B asked mumbling.

"I'm going to go home", Enola said putting on her shoes.

"Wait but, what about what you were going on about yesterday.. I was um figuring that you could open up to me about it", John B said.

"Um.. that wasn't really anything, it's all good. Don't worry", Enola said with a slight smile before walking to the door until John B stopped her.

"Don't do that, we're not doing that okay. Just talk to me.. please".

Enola then sighed while looking through the creek of the door. "Okay fine.. just back away and give some space so I could say this..". John B then sat back on his bed, looking at Enola as she played with her hair to calm her nerves.

"I feel like.. I don't have control in my life.. like.. I don't feel like I'm enjoying life to the fullest as much as I should be.. like I'm not 100% in tune with myself.. and I just don't know where to turn to flip this upside down..", Enola said sighing.

"Im sure a lot of people feel that way.. so to stress about it, that's reasonable. It's extremely annoying when you feel no grasp in your life.. especially when you're figuring out things.. so.. um if you need any breaks or time away, I'll understand".

"Well thanks but.. I don't need any breaks from you John B, you're the first boy who's really given me a chance.. I don't want to ever take a break from that. I'll maybe figure things out somehow, but for any reason I feel off, this is just reason. Don't tell anyone else though. I want people to bask in their fun without me making it dreadful because my mental health feels like a drag sometimes. But you.. you wanted to hear me out so I trust you with this", Enola said smiling as John B smiled back.

"Yeah you can trust me. I'll always be here for you. I love seeing you happy, it makes me happy", John B said as his eyes opened up a little more with love.

Enola then blushed and nervously bit her lip. "Well baby, I'll stop by later. But I seriously should get home.. I miss my family even though it's been a night", Enola said chuckling.

"Oh you and Ward are good again", John B asked as Enola frowned a little. "Um no.. we're not but my family is Sarah, Rafe, and Wheezie", Enola said then smiling again.

"Aww, I understand that honestly.. I have that with JJ, Pope, and Kie. They're my family forever".

"I'm glad you've got your family.. gosh.. I love people.. the way they love romantically and platonically.. like when I fully realize they way people love and why.. it just amazes me. It gives me hope to hold onto life, it makes me feel Safe", Enola said smiling.

"I like your view on the world, it's beautiful. Beautiful girl with a beautiful aura", John B said smiling.

"Oh pleaseee", Enola said giggling as she walked out the door. "Laterrr Lovee". Enola then walked out John B's place. She walked and walked admiring the fresh air and the sun around her. It's just one of those days where you're glad you woke up. And that's what you're looking forward to, just to wake up again and continue the journey. It hasn't ended because you have much more to go. Something about that feels so heartwarming and exciting.

Enola soon then made it home and walked to her bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face. She didn't bother fixing her hair or changing her clothes. She put some deodorant on and walked to Sarah's door. She knocked and then walked in to find Sarah doing her makeup. "Wow, so early", Enola said as she stood by Sarah.

"Yeah.. I'm going to see Topper. Early dateee. We've never done this. We're trying out new dating styles", Sarah said smiling.

"Aww that's cute. You guys are so meant to be", Enola said as Sarah chuckled. "Yeah.. I thought I'd slip away maybe.. but I haven't and I don't ever want to. Topper is perfect for me and I'm perfect for him. I mean who cares for any other guy to have the hots for me when I have my Prince Charming right in my life".

"Exactly. You and Topper are locked in", Enola said as she then plumped onto Sarah's bed. "So what brings you into my room and I know you stayed the night at John B's", Sarah said smirking.

"Oh yeah.. well I was in my feels and so yeah I stayed over and opened up to him before I came back here.. my heart.. it feels like it's opened to abundant beats. Like I'll never die, from heartbreak. John B.. he.. he really loves me I know it and like.. I love him too.. like actually.. and I just.. I wouldn't want to have it any other way.. and like you said.. why wonder about being liked by some other guy when your rider is in your life", Enola said chuckling.

"You guys gonna go horseback riding soon I see", Sarah asked raising her eyebrows.

"Well soon, and.. he wants to connect with the horses.. he's the bomb", Enola said joyfully.

"I'm so happy for you sis", Sarah said.

"Yeah.. I'm happy for me too. My hearts locked in with someone but I also want it to be locked in within myself", Enola said not getting into details.

"Understandable", Sarah said.

"Well I'll just lay her while you do your makeup, I just enjoy your company and I feel like everyone's gonna slip away for some reason.. like Rafe is going to gone soon and I'm so attached to trusting his presence and it's gonna be gone..", Enola said as her eyes watered.

Sarah then frowned as she got up from her chair and sat next to Enola hugging her. "Aww.. well I'm not going off to college anytime soon and Rafe we will keep in touch and he'll definitely visit. Believe that alright", Sarah said reassuring Enola.

Enola then wiped her tears looking at Sarah. "Yeah you're right.. he probably will. I just feel so attached to you all after everything with Ward. It's like I can only look to you guys and with one man soon leaving the house.. we'll be stuck with that one.. if you know what I mean", Enola said as Sarah laughed. "Yup I get what you mean. But if you're gonna miss Rafe so much more than like anyone. Definitely cherish time with him before the timer beeps okay", Sarah said patting Enola's back.

"Yeah.. I'll be more at ease.. I'm going to go talk to him right now and make plans!", Enola sprouting up and jetting off to Rafes room as Sarah smiled from afar.

Enola didn't even bother to knock. She just barged into Rafes room. "Rafeyyy", Enola said as she ran up and hugged him tightly making him laugh historically. "Woah what is all this energy for", Rafe asked.

"I'm gonna miss you so fucking much.. I have to make plans with you.. I need this.. we both do.. our bond is special.. you're the one guy in this house I always look forward to seeing and soon I won't be able to.. so can we please cherish it all before you go..", Enola said as she slowly found herself crying again. "Aww sis.. don't cry..", Rafe said as he hugged her tightly and rubbed her Back. "Of course we can make plans and enjoy these days together. I would never decline that with you", Rafe said smiling as Enola backed away chuckling while wiping her tears.

"Silly me! I should've known that answer", Enola said smiling. "Well for a start, can we make little books of why we love each other in the shed", Enola asked sounding hopeful.

"I'd love to that", Rafe said smiling.

"Yay!", Enola said happily as she and Rafe went downstairs and out to the shed. Ward heard Enola's joy and walked out to the balcony to see. He then sighed at how close Enola was with Rafe and not him. Ward didn't want anyone favoring Rafe so much. So he's glad In the end that Rafe will be gone. He'll then try winning back Enola. He thought of doing the same with Sarah but that was more than easy in his eyes as she was always "daddies little girl".
