It's been one stressful day for Dinah it wasn't her best day. One reason is because shes sick and to depression is hunting her again. But she won't let that stop her from going to school and talking to her one and only Mani bear. She missed the chocolate girl she was planning on buying her something that she knows Normani would never take yet she just wants to spoil the girl that she want to call hers. 

Dinah had went to her dorm after her Honors art class and picked up an envelope this envelope Normani gave her filled with memories and stories. 

The first picture was of the first time they meet it was an off guard of Dinah. The blonde turned to the back of the picture. "This day was the day my life got better I got to hug someone special to me". The second picture was of them Dinah she was dancing to music she remembers that night perfectly. "Dance party with this beautiful Tongan are actually fun"

"Dinah let's have a dance party you up for that?" Normani said as she was scrolling through her music. "Sure what are we going turn up to?" Normani started playing the music 'Find table spaces, say your social graces Bow your head, they're pious here, But you and I, we're pioneers, we make our own rules, Our own room, no bias here' Dinah smirked and looked at Normani and started singing along with Alessia. 'Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be alright, don't mind us), Find me where the wild things are (oh my, we'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah), Find me where the wild things are.' Both Normani and Dinah started hoping around the hotel room. Lauren and her sisters had went down to the lobby to get food. 

Dinah picked up the next picture. Lauren had actually taken this one. "Normani let me carry you bridal style" Normani stood in front of Dinah and let her pick her up bridal style and she kissed her cheek as Lauren took the picture. Dinah looked closer their was a couple an old couple an old couple that grew up together that trusted each other that and will die and disintegrate together. "The day I knew I was falling for someone my age. Peep that old couple. Thanks Lauren for great timing."  

Dinah took out her phone and took a picture of the Polaroid and posted it the captioning it; 

"This picture is my favorite by far the best picture that can be ever taken. As you see I am carrying Normani bridal style and in the back their is an old couple sitting on the bench. I fill like this symbolizes a future Love ya Mani." 

Dinah kept looking through the photos another she found was very interesting. It was a picture of the blonde daydreaming during breakfast Normani had snapped it as she was eating her food. 

But as she kept looking through the pictures their was one that really didn't belong in the stack it was of a man. His beard neatly trimmed his eyes light brown. His hair very long and had natural curls. He had short sleeve shirt on revealing his arm tattoo but it wasn't any tattoo it was a skin story tattoo. Almost every Polynesian man and sometimes woman had one. She looked on the back and Normani had written on it.

"You may have thought what the hell is this or why is this in my stack but this is your dad. Mrs. Clara gave to me and she wanted me to give to you. But your dad he died of cancer. You may have thought you dad was some type of bad guy but he wasn't. This is your real dad. He was always smiling and always had such a great heart. Mrs. Clara told me that your mom was planning on bringing you to the orphanage as you grew older. You mom had depression yet she never showed it she took her own life. She loved you but she didn't love her self." 

Dinah set the picture down and picked up her phone she quickly Dm'ed Normani while she let the tears glide down her face.

MommaBeyonce: "thank you"

Beyoncesbeyhive: "I had to tell you somehow and your welcome"

MommaBeyonce: "I would like to thank you for finding who I am and where I grew up my dad was Tongan and so was my mom. I still remember a lot of Tongan and still miss when my mom would sing to me. My dad took me to Hawaii one time for a vacation and I met everyone from my family. I miss them I haven't seen them in fifteen years" 

Byoncesbeyhive: "I am glad I could help and thank Mrs. Clara as well"  

Dinah smiled and wiped her remaining tears. Maggie unlocked the door as Dinah was getting up. "Hey Dinah" Maggie said as she walked over to her side of the room. "Hey Mags". 

"You seem very happy what happened?" 

"Normani gave me this picture of my dad and she told me exactly what happened to my mom I think I can continue my dream it never finishes when I see my mom on the floor". 

"Wow who told her all of this?"

"Your mom did tell your mom I said thank you".

Maggie nodded and looked at her phone. "Hey why don't we get ready to go down to eat some dinner?" "Lets go" Dinah said getting her jacket. 

"What should we eat?" Dinah asked as she looked around. "Their was bafaloo wild wings our first place we ate during freshman year in college." Dinah nodded and they both walked over to order line. 

"So Dinah do you like Normani?" They had got their wings and sat at a table. "I can't deny it but yes I do she's so beautiful breathtaking and her heart is just full of happiness. Of course I like her." Maggie chucked and took a sip from her water. "Do you have the rest of your pictures?" Dinah nodded and took them out showing Maggie. "Yep you guys are totally goals I ship it" Dinah smiled. 

"Maggie do you have someone you're crushing on?" Maggie started to turn red "I actually do it's a male and his name is Jake T Austin". Maggie pulled out her phone and pulled up a picture. 

"I have seen him before you guys would look cute together"

"I have seen him before you guys would look cute together". Maggie smiled and to her luck Austin walked over to the table. "Hey Mags" Austin said looking down at her. "H-Hi" Maggie started to blush of course she was nervous. "I was going to text you but I see you're here and I wanted to ask if maybe we can hang at the library today or whenever you're free? I just see how you're such a hard worker maybe we can work together" Jake asked. "Of course I would and we could meet today". Austin smiled and dismissed himself. 

"So Maggie how exactly do you have his number?" Dinah asked lifting an eyebrow. "Well we are in the same math class and one day he waited for me after class and he asked for my number". 

Dinah smiled at her friend she wish she was with Normani or at least close to her. That's when she realized 'Distance' is what they where. Normani being in Canada was something she would never have imagined. She wanted to do something for the girl something she would be so satisfied with.  

"The scariest thing about distance is that you don't know whether they'll miss you or forget you."
