Friends Can Be Saviors

Chapter 4

We had been watching T.V, well... Katerina was watching T.V I was playing on my phone. Which was consistent of mostly going back and forth through different social media apps and sites chatting, posting, commenting, sharing, and liking you know irrelevant shit. I do this everytime I'm bord or when I look at my phone it's a bad habit.

"So what do you wanna do today?" I asked. I looked over to her and she was typing something on her phone. I guess I wasn't the one. I shook my head 'generation we living in today' I thought.

"I thought we have a friend over, I already asked Ezra he's cool with it" She answered me not looking up from her phone. "What friend, do I know them?" I asked as curiosity got the best of me. I couldn't think of who would or could come over at this time. Everyone we know together is either at work, at school, or way to far away to come to us in person.

"Yes, you know them you know them really well. I bet you'll be happy to see them" She smiled. Okay now I'm really curious like really.. really curious. Who could it be?

"Can I get a hint?" I asked jumping up out my sit from curiosity and excitement. She looked at me and giggled. "Don't guess I'm telling its a surprise." She said and I pouted crossing my arms and sticking out my lip like a child, I'm way to old for this but it added a lovely dramatic effect. Katerina rolled her eyes playfully and shook her head holding back a laugh.

"It'll be okay you'll love this surprise in the end I bet it will cheer you up a bit" She smiled. "Katerina I don't need cheering up with you and Ezra around me I have nothing to be sad about. How can I be sad when I get to see both your smiling faces" I Smiled at her.

"Oh Tatiana thats so sweet I never thought that you would feel that way. I'm happy around you too." She said as she hugged me and I hugged back. "But Tatiana I know something is on your mind." She admitted. "Yeah Thats true but its nothing" I smiled then it was a knock at the door. I'm pretty sure no one ever comes over here unexpected but me on rare occasions. Katerina pulled away to answer the door.

"Who is it?" She asked the through the door as she looked through the peep hole. I could have sweared the person on the other side answered "Tompon".

What the fuck? Tompon? Did they mean Tampo- oh my fucking gosh it can't be. I rushed to door only standing a few feet behind Katerina just as she unlocked and opened it. I stood there shocked with my hands over my mouth frozen in place. I was completely speechless I couldn't believe my eyes. Oh my gosh my must be dreaming. Was all that was running through my mind.

She hugged Katerina as she greeted her and welcomed her inside.

I would recognize her anywhere. Her warm carmal skin, her big brown eyes and her long black silky hair. She was ten times prettier than I last remembered her. "Well don't just stand there and stare hug me" She said snapping me back to reality while holding out her arms. I ran in to her as and held her for dear life as if she would disappear.
I haven't seen her in forever, I missed her so much.

"I missed you so much" I cried. "I missed you more." She replied.

"No I missed you more" I shot back.

"No I missed you more" She said catching herself correct me.

"Umm no I missed you more and that's final" I said putting my foot down figuratively.

"If you say so but the truth is I missed you more" She said back.

"Fine I'll let you believe that" I sighed defeated.

"I believe it cause its true" She smiled and I rolled my eyes playfully. And this lovely person is known as Diane.

Katerina was looking at us smiling. "Lowkey she could be thinking about how ridiculous we are." I said looking at Katerina and Diane laughed. "Tatiana I would never" Katerina said laughing along with us.

"So Tatiana, I heard and seen that you made a big breakfast. Is there any more fruit bouquet?" Diane asked Katerina probably sent her a picture. I went and got the whole thing out the refrigerator and sat it on the dinning table. "There more then enough help yourself" I offered.

"Don't mind if I do" She said taking a few stems that held chocolate covered stawberries.

"So how did you get here Diane? You live so far away." I asked out of curiosity since she lives like 15 hours away.

"Where just passing through my dad is away on business and I decided to come along just for the ride its a short trip." She said. "I wanted to get a chance to see you girls" she smiled and I smiled back.

"I'm glad you came Diane" I said.
"I'm glad I came too" she replied. "So what's being going on fill me in" She asked us and Katrina sat on the couch and looked at me smiling Diane sat with her and looked at me and only me okay... maybe she asked me alone. I should have known they probably been talking the whole time Diane was coming.

"So yall just gone put me on the spot light?" I asked and I couldn't keep a straight face. "Why don't you girls tell me how you're doing first? Especially you Diane you're our special guess" I said smiling. They really want to play this game with me, and its to get me to talk about how I'm doing and their checking to see if I'm really-really fine as I. Its either that or they just really- really want me to share. It could just most lightly be the second thing and I'm just over thinking once again, I been doing that lately and I've been wrong every single time. I need to stop being paranoid for no reason.

"I've been good actually, I'm heathly, I been doing good in school and I'm getting to see you guys again so I'm doing really good." Diane said smiling. Its probably a bad time but I couldn't help be to notice how different she looked. Her curly hair was straighten, sleek, more silky and darker. Her eyes seemed slightly bigger and brighter and she didn't wear glasses anymore. Her skin was slightly brighter and her her smile was ten times brighter.

"So how are you?" Diane asked me and patted the couch so I could take a sat next to her not knowing what to say or where to start. What do I say? 'Hey Diane, I'm having night terrors and I'm questioning who I am' I can't say that, It's not even that serious.

I looked down not knowing what to say, I was lost for words and for some reason I felt like I couldn't speak anyways. My heart was beating faster, my head ached like someone was hitting me with a hammer, my breathe became shallower, my jaw ached like it was getting sewn to be shut permanently, I played with my fingers and the felt hot and sweaty even tho they wasn't wet or hot and my stomach felt like butterflies was in it. I don't know if this was anxiety? or a nervous feeling? a panic attack or what? I just don't understand why I'm feeling this way.

"Tatiana Are you okay" Katerina asked I looked at her and she looked blury and there was slightly two of her then she looked like she was a picture with motion effects.

"...Anna....Are you...okay..." Diane asked I at least I think that was her. I shook my head no, everything was blurry.

"Tatiana... " the last thing I saw was Katerina and Diane before everything went black.

"Friends are those rare people who ask how we are and then wait to hear the answer."
