It's been two weeks since the funeral.
I cried so much, my voice became raspy, I had dark circles under my eyes.
I didn't go to school for the last two weeks.
Me and Miransia stayed home.
Today is Sunday, I'm supposed to go to school tomorrow. I hear a knock on the door, I look at the camera. It's Naya. I open the door with my eyes half closed.
"Girl, I have been calling you for two weeks straight!!! What happened to you?"
"Naya, stop screaming. Come on in. Miransia is finally getting some sleep. I'm going to school tomorrow" She's following me as I walk to my room.
"You don't look like someone that can go to school tomorrow."
"I know that, but my graduation is soon. I can't keep missing days. And that man also said that I have to go." She looks at me shocked as always. This girl.
"You are going to school because he told you to? Who does he think he is? And why are you doing what he tells you to do? Where is the Sabrina no one can dare to mess with?" I wish that Sabrina was there too.
"I keep having this bad feeling that he might do something bad to Miransia."
I will do everything in my power to keep Miransia safe.
"So, are we just going to sit there and let him rule?" Naya claims.
I lean down and whisper in her ear "There are cameras in the whole house, so shut it!" She looks at me and understands right away what I mean.
"He's not ruling, he is just making sure to take care of us. I mean that is what Miranda would want." I say, looking at her right in the eyes.
"You are totally right Sab. He is just being overprotective. By the way, what is his name again?" Naya says.
"His name is Dario"
"Okay. What's the schedule for tomorrow?" I really want to graduate and be done with this thing.
"I'm getting up at 4 AM, preparing breakfast and lunch for me and Miransia. You can come pick me up at 7:00. You hear me??? 7:00." I tell her clearly and make sure she hears me well.
Because this girl is always late. She looks at me like I'm exaggerating.
"7:00!!! Miransia's school starts at 7:30!!!!!!" Seriously!
"And we start at 7:19!" I yell back. "How are we going to get on time if we go later than 7:00?!" I yell again.
"Fine...I will pick you up at 7:00 as promised." I roll my eyes at her.
"I prefer you come earlier than later."
"Right... I have to go home." We are walking down the stairs when she pauses for a moment and turns around to face me. "Please, you need to get better, Sab. Don't hide anything from me. I'm here for you and I will always be." She walks to me and hugs me tightly. I hugged her back with tears. It's not been a long time since I met Naya, but I feel like it's been more than two years. I walk her to her car. "Naya, seriously? You parked your car right in front of the house. What do you think the parking lot is here for?"
"Whatever. Bye." She says and gets in the car while waving her hand at me.
