It was a few months later, no Anastasia, no Anastasia's dad, no drama and unfortunately no Rob.

I was home, with mom. We sat on the outdoor seating of our favorite cafe in town. It was getting warmer, the heat of June was taking over.

Chloe and I had recently got summer break from College, and we would start again in August. We both went home, to get some time with our families after all the craziness we been through.

Mom was still recovering from Anastasia's dad, of course she felt fooled, and betrayed.

I didn't share her emotions, me and Chloe was better than ever. All the things that happened really put a lot of pressure on us, but it also made our connection much stronger.

- Red, tonight I wanna dress up and go out for drinks, mom said, taking a sip of her iced coffee.
- Um sure, where are we going? I asked, sipping mine.

- Everywhere, we need to celebrate that you survived the first year of college, and we need to find me a new man! She claimed.
- Mom you're crazy! I laughed.

- Well everyone can't be you and Chloe, can they? She said with a grin.
- No I know, I got really lucky. I smiled, looking down at my phone.

- Um, yeah you did! Have you heard from her today anyway? Mom asked, also looking down at my phone on the table.

- Yeah, she's away doing something with Chad, I'm not sure what.
- Hmm, are you seeing her anytime this summer?

- Mom obviously, I can't last that long without her? Are you insane!
- Just asking, just thought you would be home spending some time with your old mom.. She said, looking down at her hands.

- Old? Mom you're not old, what are you talking about. You're literally young, people can't tell your the one giving birth to me even!

- Hmm, so my thirties doesn't look that bad you mean? She asks.
- No, and your forties won't either. I laugh.
- Your cutesy, mom jokes, slapping my hand at the table.
- Very cutesy, I joke back, winking.

- Hello lovely ladies, can I buy you both a drink? A man with an accent, a cowboy hat, boots and a uniform said, standing by our table.

I look at mom, and she looks at me, and we both break into laughter.

Later that day,

"RED?! HAVE YOU SEEN MY HAIRBRUSH?"

- Mom no? I don't steal your things, you're probably holding it like last time!! I yell back, from my room lying in bed, waiting for her to get ready.

- Was that your mom? Chloe asked on FaceTime.
- Yeah, she's accusing me of taking her hairbrush when she's probably right now in the bathroom holding it.

Chloe laughed, her cute smile spread all over the screen.
- Oh god, I miss your mom! Chloe said.
- Yeah, trust me, she misses you too!
- How's Flyfly, it's empty without her, Chloe continues, moving around in her blue big room at home.

I flipped the camera, showing her Dragonfly that was sleeping further down my red bed.

- Ohh, my angel, Chloe exclaimed, looking at the screen with heart eyes.
- Oh okay, so you're missing everybody except me? I scoff, flipping the camera back.

- No baby, I miss you most! And you look very, very pretty.
- Thanks, where going out to find a MAN for mom, I exaggerate through the phone.

- Oh you're going out, I thought you looked that pretty for me, Chloe said disappointed.
- Shut up, I said, turning brightly red.
