I haven't seen Zahria much mainly because I have been staying to myself in my room for the past two days.

Yesterday was my first exam and I took the exam and came back home. I was disappointed when I got home and Kahjeel was not here, this will be the first he is breaking a promise to me and hopefully the last.

I have been experiencing the nightmare every night and I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to go back to therapy because facing my fear is not something I can manage. I glance at the card the doctor gave me for the therapist and ai shiver at the thought.

Maybe if I pretend I'm okay I will eventually be okay again.

My phone vibrate and I grab it hoping it's either Kahjeel or Jody.

Jody and I have not spoken since our last disagreement and I honestly feel bad about it. I understand her point but I also needed her to understand mine.

Yes I am afraid but what I'm mostly afraid of is to loose the family I have become apart of. I'm afraid to loose the only people I know genuinely care for me.

Jody doesn't know how it feels to watch your life turn upside down right Infront of you. If not for these people I don't know what would have happened to me.

I'm not going to overthink this thing anymore, it is what it is.

"Ria, mi soon forward mi go buy some food."

"Okay. Buy Chinese for me please." I yell while he close my room door.

The entire house is quite which I definitely do not mind at all.

A loud knock comes from my door.
"The door open."

He knocks again.

"Skull just open the door."

Ofcourse he knock again.

I lazily move the sheet from my legs and walk to the door because I know it's Skull. All he has to do is push the door open because he just went through it. He can be so annoying at times.

"Your so annoying." I murmur.

As soon as I open the door I scream and fall to the floor. He pick me up in his arms and I wrap my legs and arm around him and cry in his neck.

"B, you good?" He ask and I want to answer but I cannot. All I want to do is hold him.

He walk with me to the bed and throw us both on it then start tickling me. I release him in laughter and pull away.

We both sit up in the bed looking at each other. "I'm so glad that your here." I say again climbing in his lap to hug him.

I am in his lap with my legs wrapped around his waist and my hands around his neck while I rest my head on his chest. He has his finger going up and down my back.

"Always will." He says and I know he is licking his bottom lip.

I lift my head while holding his and kiss his forehead and jaw while he try to wiggle his way out of my embrace.

"Move nuh B"

"No, I missed you." I reply still trying to kiss him on the cheek.

"Jah jah"

He finally use his strength, lift me up and spin so I'm no longer sitting in his lap but laying flat on my back with him laying between my legs. We are inches apart and I'm looking deep into his eyes, he has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen.
