Here is Part 2!

The day Parker leaves for California...

Noah

The weekend has come and now all of us, except Kia are driving to James' farmhouse. I know Kiara is going to be there too, and I think it will all be good and I will try to make the environment least awkward for the two of us.

The past few days were much better than I expected them to be, I thought I will be drowning myself in pain, misery and sorrow but instead I found myself in a much healthier state, the reasons are yet to be searched for.

"Buddy can you give me that bottle of water from the backseat?" Aiden called me from the driving seat. Nodding my head I handed him the bottle.

My graze shifted from him to now my secret friend. Actually I think I should stop calling her a secret friend, well at least in my mind. I know the others are yet to know that we are actually friends, as in helping buddies.

After all she has a name, which is descent enough, Tamara.

Yes drum roll please, you heard me, it's Tamara, my secret friend, my helping buddy!

So, Tam and my eyes met for a few minutes before she looked away. She has been a big support to me since the time I told her about Kia and me, right from the start. I know it's difficult to digest that out of everyone how did Tamara manage to help me with this.

Well, it wasn't easy for us to talk on one table without throwing anything at each other but now it's all different. We have been talking regularly over the calls, meeting over coffees and we shall continue this as she isn't that bad herself, at least not as bad as I had thought she was in my head.

I can credit her to my better condition right now as she hasn't left my side since the rejection. Kiara's standing in my life can't be ever described with a few words and will never be irrespective of our relation.

After a short drive, we finally reached the farmhouse and stepping in, we were greeted by my friend James. He gave each of us a hug with wide arms and much happiness.

"You guys finally made on my birthday at least", we chuckled.

"Wouldn't have missed it for the world", Aiden mockingly wiped his fake tears while earning a slap from James.

"Ignoring your drama Ads, how are you guys?" James asked us.

"We have been great Jammy, how have you been? How was Australia?" Tam spoke on behalf of us. James went to Australia for his higher education in Science.

This boy has been smart from the start, "Australia and their chics both are now my favourite", and perverted.

The girls rolled their eyes as we spoke for some time before he gave us our rooms.

The white farmhouse was wrapped with the fencing around it and it had real, authentic, working shutters and gas lanterns. The front porch had carved wooden main door. The lawn was covered with a small stone circling pond and flower beds. The two staircase place was huge with many hallways and rooms for everyone to stay there in comfort.

Our rooms were very spacious with twin beds, and lamps, coffee tables on both sides and closets next to a bathroom where I quickly had a shower before leaving the farmhouse for a walk. It was evening time and we had nothing much to do so I decided that a trail around the natural area would be ideal. Since the farmhouse was on the edge of the city, it had a lot of jungle type of green surrounding.
