Behind Closed Doors

Chapter 25

Kai and the whole clique are coming to see me today. I haven't seen Austin, Ansley and Rosalie in a whole month. Josh came back a few more times with Dylan. Even though I don't really talk to Ansley and Rosalie I appreciate them coming to see me. Its not that I don't like them I just don't talk to them as much as everyone else.

I'm so excited to see all of them. As I wait for their arrival I watched tv to kill some time. I'm watching Tom & Jerry. I couldn't help but laugh every here and there. I love Jerry. He's so cute and funny.

A knock at the door made me jump out of bed quickly and run towards it. I opened the door and everyone was standing before me with smiles on their faces. A big smile made its way on my lips and I pulled Dylan in for a hug.

"Hey baby girl." he whispers in my ear.

"Hey Dyl." I say. "I've missed you so much."

"I've missed you too." We let go of each other, and he steps to the side, so I can talk to everyone else.

"Hey love!" Kai smiles holding her arms out for a hug.

"Hey babe." I smile giving her a hug.

Moving on, Austin steps up to me. I smile and pull him in for a hug. As much as he gets on my nerves, I have to admit that I've missed him a lot. He and Josh always make me laugh so hard.

"Aussie!" I squeal.

"Hey Nia." he chuckles.

"I missed you! I know that's a shocker right?"

"Yeah. I missed you a lot too."

"I'll be back soon, and we can get back to fighting like old times." I tell him.

"I'll be looking forward to it." he smiles.

"Nia! You don't know how much I've missed you!" Ansley says throwing her arms around me.

"I've missed you too Ansley." I half lie.

"You look really good. I can't wait until you come back."

"Same here." We share a laugh.

"Hi pretty girl." Rosalie smiles.

"Hey Rose." I smile back giving her a hug.

I like her more than Ansley. She doesn't have bitchy mood swings like her. Her attitude is so much different.

"I miss you babes." she tells me.

"I miss you too love." I say.

"When you come back we're going on an adventure."

"I'll be counting down the days."

We all gathered into the room and spread apart to make enough space for one another. I walked over to Dylan, who was sitting on the bed, with his legs propped up. The others stood around or sat in the chairs that's all over the room.

"So, what are some things you guys have to tell me? I haven't heard any gossip in a while and its killing me." I say.
