Escape from Tragedy

Chapter 8: To Friendship!

"Hey girl" She said opening the door to her apartment. "Come in"

"Hey" I told her giving her a hug and coming into her apartment.

"I'm so glad we thought comfy" she pointed out.

She had on black sweat pants, a orange baggy v-neck t-shirt, a long cream white cardigan and grey fuzzy socks.Her hair in a sloppy pony tail and her makeup from earlier still on. I had on black leggings, white baggy v-neck t-shirt, grey,black and white thick cardigan. My hair left down and my makeup the same from work.

"your apartment is cute!" I told her looking around.

Its small but it has the homey, cozy feel. There's a little entry that has a little table with mail and her keys. Hooks above the table with her coats and bags. When you look straight you automatically see her living room.  It's small but so cute. Walking into more of her house, there's a light grey sectional couch with white, dark grey, pink pillows and a blanket. A off white circular table in the center with remotes, and flowers. A white and black rug on top of the hardwood floors. A shelf behind the couch with pictures framed. On the opposite wall is nothing but pictures of her family and friends. A white t.v. stand with a flat screen on top. Beautiful windows and balcony with grey curtains. I love her living room its so cute! Eva Kitchen is kind of hidden, but its right off the little entry way. Blue and some dark color tile on the floor. White grey cabinets, a vintage fridge, sink with a little window bring in natural light. Marble on the walls that carry over to the white stove.  A counter that over looks the living room with grey stools looking into the kitchen. There is a door that's right by the t.v. stand, I'm guessing is her bedroom.

"Thank you, it's simple but really cozy"

"Here is the ice cream, I got cookies and cream and then vanilla." I told while handing her the pints of ice cream.

"ooo yes!" She said taking them from me an putting 'em in the freezer. "Do you want anything to drink? I have water, juice, wine, tea cold and hot, chocolate milk, hot coco-"

"-Can I get a cup of hot tea?"

"Yeah" She said and started up a kettle. " So how do you like New York?"

"I like it, still have some  getting use to. New York City is nothing like my little town that's for sure" I told her.

"tell me about North Carolina, it looks so pretty, I mean in Nicholas Sparks movie Safe Haven it does"

I chuckled "It is really pretty and calm. Not a lot happens in my little town. Everyone knows everyone. The people back at home are really nice and welcoming. We have a fair at the beginning of the summer and at the end. We even have a Fall Blast and a Winter blast. The Winter Blast is so much fun, everyone comes together and decorates the Christmas tree and the town, the kids making popcorn string for the Christmas tree and drinking hot coco. Then at night we turn the lights on and have fake snow come down. My town is small but I love it" I told her smiling really proud of my little town.

"Oh my god! that is so cute! you have to take me, I have to see this." She told me smiling.

"I will, I think you would like it" I told her smiling.

"You seems so proud of it, and like you would never leave. So why did you come here?" She asked as she grabbed the kettle from the stove.

I just looked at her, I know that question was coming, but I feel like I should tell her the truth. But I don't even want to talk about it out loud, cause then its real. I know I will tell her eventually but I can't right now, I don't think I am ready...

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, I understand. But when you do want to talk about it, just know I am here ready to listen. Whenever your ready." She told me while handing me a cup of tea.
