It's been two years since Kris left me. It's been a year and a half since I moved to LA. It's been one year since my first relationship. It's been six months since I gave my virginity to my ex. It's been three months since I broke up with him, for cheating. And I'm still missing Kris on a daily basis. Everyday, whenever I shower or whatever, I am reminded of the day he left because of a scar left on my body due to my mirror falling and shattering. For six months though, I worked with helping runway models get ready. Now, I work at the Creative Artists Agency.

I walked into my apartment building and checked my mail before heading up to the fourth floor. In my stack of mail, there was a small box with a return address and Kris's name. I smiled but tears still formed in my eyes. 

Once in my apartment, I closed my front door and opened the box. Inside was a folded up piece of paper. I opened that first, it was a letter from Kris stating that he asked his mother for my new address, congratulating me on getting two big jobs. He then went onto talking about his trainee life and how he was doing. Then it went onto asking me questions and then at the very end, I found out what was in the box. It was a heart shaped diamond necklace. 

I decided to write Kris back before opening my other mail. After I was finished writing the letter, I folded the paper and kissed it, the color of the lips were of his favorite color. I gently placed the letter in an envelope, sealed it and wrote the addresses.

I then opened all the other mail, it was mainly bills, nothing exciting. I looked at the clock and realized it was already six pm, I should get something to eat. I decided on Chinese takeout. I took a quick hot shower, dressed in my pajamas and right on time, my food was here. 

I sat on my couch along with Chyna and Danzi, we decided to watch a movie while I ate dinner. After eating, I cleaned up and took my cats to the bedroom. They always sleep with me, especially under the covers. I laid my head on my pillow and soon asleep.
