On a late Saturday evening As we gathered at Cassie's house, the debate over what movie to watch began. Sawyer, ever the sci-fi enthusiast, made his pitch. "How about a good dose of sci-fi?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes playfully. "No offense, Sawyer, but that sounds a bit... boring. How about a romance, like 'The Notebook'?" Riley suggested with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Sawyer looked at her incredulously. "You want us to cry?"

Riley didn't back down. "You want to fall asleep?"

Collin and Blake, always up for some action, threw in their suggestion. "What about a high-octane action flick?"

I couldn't resist a touch of sarcasm. "You two only want blood and hot girls."

With a smirk, I grabbed a tray of snacks, emphasizing my point. "Alright, what's your idea, Howard?"

I didn't need to think twice. "Something suspenseful, like a good horror movie."

Blake couldn't help but tease. "Oh, Layla, nothing beats seeing Cassie try not to scream."

Cassie joined in the banter as she placed a bowl of popcorn on the table. "Hey, it's not my fault her head fell off." Cassie eyes lit up 'how about Shrek' everyone looks at her like she was crazy 'just a thought don't bite my head off she says sitting down on her coach

' that's it we can magamind yes it's a kids movie but has actions sci-fi and romance and a bit of suspense' I said everyone agreed

As Cassie headed into the kitchen to fetch more snacks, I followed her, leaving Riley and the guys engrossed in the movie.

Cassie glanced at me, a small smile playing on her lips. "Thanks for helping, Layla. You know I'm always in danger of emptying out the entire pantry."

I chuckled, grabbing a bag of chips. "No problem, Cass. We wouldn't want our movie night to turn into a snack-less disaster."

Back in the living room, Riley couldn't help but comment on our departure. "They are such a married couple."

Sawyer smirked, nodding in agreement. "We know that. It's just a matter of time before they hook up."

In the kitchen, the air was a little tense. Cassie focused on arranging the snacks, her movements deliberate. There was something unspoken hanging in the air, a hint of the unresolved.

I cleared my throat, trying to break the silence. "So, what do you think of the movie so far?"

Cassie's gaze met mine, her eyes reflecting a mix of emotions. "It's fun. Just what we needed."

There was a moment of quiet, as if we were tiptoeing around something. Finally, Cassie spoke up. "Layla, I'm sorry for questioning you about Vanessa "

I looked down, my fingers tracing the edge of the bag. "It's fine, Cass. You guys are just curious and nosy ."

She sighed, and I could feel her gaze on me. " okay just I want you to be happy ."

I mustered a small smile, genuinely touched by her sincerity. " I know and I am happy you make me happy ."

As we returned to the living room, snacks in hand, there was a subtle shift in the atmosphere. It was as if a weight had been lifted, and we could just enjoy the rest of the movie. But I feel a spark they can be possibly something more I want that but does she want that? Because she's my everything and I can't just want something she doesn't that just not fair we have tension but tension can mean hella things and I don't think our tension mean romantic feelings I went to but that's not in my cards at the moment and I have to suck it up because that's what a mature person would do

And who said I was good for a relationship anyway due to my childhood how am I good for anyone after the movie at Cassie's house I went home I laid down in my bed I'm thinking about a lot of things one of things I'd my childhood like my mother always had problems name it she more then likely had it but mostly drugs and alcohol my dad was the dad you would always want unfortunately he died when I was 5 years old so it was my mom and me well

She was gone for most of time I was home alone that's where my aunt stand it because she tends to watch things she knew my mother had problems and truth be told did not want me but did not want an abortion or adoption until I was 10 I felt with her my aunt got custody and here I am now but the point what if I dare someone but they leave I'm lucky friends feint leave eventually what if they grow sick of me and never like me

I don't know I take my medication for my depression and anxiety and went to sleep I have too much shit in my mind right now but before I went to sleep Vanessa texted me on instagram that was just the start
