Phone rings..

Erica: *opening her eyes and looking for the phone that was disturbing her sleep* hello

??: Cynthia, where are you.

Erica: hi, this isn't cyn.

??: where's my daughter? And who are you.

Erica: oh shit, miss Jen. Its me erica.

Jen: omg. Your back. How are you.

Erica:*smiling* I'm doing ok. Cyn sleeping right now. Do you want me to wake her.

Jen: no, if she's with you.its fine. wait did she eat at all today?

Erixa: yes, she had soup ealier and a foot long. Shes sick and I gave her antibiotic so she had to eat.

Jen: what you mean gave her. Erica you cant give someone medication without they see a Dr first.

Erica: miss jen calm down. I'm a Dr.

Jen: erica, you like 20 years. That's not funny. I need to take cyn to the hospital.

Erica: Miss jen I'm really a Dr. You can call my job and ask if you don't believe me.

Jen: wow, I'm mean your so young. That's great, I wish cyn would go to school. She did so well in her SAT. She just won't apply.

Erica: I'll see if I can get her to apply.

Jen: thank you. Tell cyn to call me in the morning. Bye erica. Pleasant dreams.

Erica: goodnight*hangs up*

Erica placed the phone down. She felt thirsty and needed a glass of water. She got off the bed, careful not to wake cyn, before walking down the stairs. When she got to the kitchen albee and her mom was sitting in the kitchen eating cookies and milk.

Erica: I hope that's not my cookies from subway.

Sonia: what if it is.

Erica: your getting me more. Those were cyn and I cookies.

Albee: we only ate one, the rest is in the bag. Greedy much.

Erica: don't touch my stuff and I won't be bitchy.*opening the fridge and getting a bottle of water.

Sonia: where's cyn anyways.

Erica: sleep*taking a sip of her water* her tonsils a bit inflamed.

Albee: ouch, how's it been catching up.

Erica: its been good. I mean we have a lot more to discuss but were getting there. We went on to live totally different lives. I mean the change helped me a lot. But it totally devastated cyn. Me leaving was the worst thing I could ever have done. She was so out going, now she's shy and afraid that everyone is out to hurt her.

Sonia: don't beat yourself up. Your here now.

Erica' ya for two more days. I don't know how she going to cope, with me leaving again.

Sonia: then bring her with you.

Erica: she's not a puppy you know. I can't make her just follow me across the country. Like how's it going to work. I'm always gone.

Albee: first you need to ask yourself, would leaving cyn here in NYC be the best thing for her. Then could you see yourself in Florida, and not have cyn there to share in your success. You talked about her every night. Heck you got a room filled with birthdays gifts for her.

Erica: what you trying to say.

Albee: im saying that there more to you guys than friendship. You guys have a deeper connection.

Erica: its not like that. She's my best friend. I missed her.

Sonia: mhmm. Whatever you say jasmine.

Erica: anyways I'm going back to bed, before cyn notice that I'm gone.

Erica walked up the stairs, with her waters in hand. She pushed open her room and saw cyn asleep, the moonlight shone in from her window. She closed the door with a soft click. She was about to climb into bed when she saw cyn stirring. She was mumbling stuff in her sleep. Erica placed the bottle on the dresser, just as cyn shot of the bed screaming. Erica scrambled to her feet, cyn was stopping in the corner of the room holding her T-shirt tight with tears running down her face. Erica quickly walked towards her when she heard cyn whimper, please don't. Cyn hair was matted on her for head and face with sweat.

Erica: cyn, it's me. Erica. Its ok. Your safe*walking to her slowly.

Cyn: no, erica left.*shaking her head*

Erica:I'm right here. Open you eyes princess.

Cyn: no, your lying.*crying*

Erica: *making a tough call and grabbing cyn holding her firm against her as she tried to fight out of her gasp* cyn, relax its me. Open your eyes.

After a minute of struggling, cyn couldn't fight no more, she called down and open her eyes slowly.

Erica: hey, its ok.

Cyn: erica. I thought you left.

Erica: I'm right here. Come on stand up.

Cyn got off erica laps so she could stand up. Erica stood up and led cyn to the bed. She turned on the overhead fan and pulled cyn on top of her. Cyn laid her head in the crook of erica shoulder, while erica rubbed her back.

Erica: want to tell me what have you so scared?

Cyn: *shaking her head *

Erica: you sure

Cyn:*nodding*

Erica: ok, drink some water ok.*handing cyn the bottle*

Cyn took small sips ,before handing erica the bottle. Erica placed the bottle back on the dresser, before sliding down to the pillows and pulling cyn down with her. Cyn was laying on erica chest, while erica brushed her hair out of her for head and kissed it.

Cyn: *whispers*Stella helped him.

Erica: *confused* huh?

Cyn: Stella texted me to meet her to finish our project. It was a trap to get me alone so brandon could rape me.

Erica:*gripping the sheets tight*  going to take care of it.

Cyn: how. She moved away after she served her time.

Erica: I'll find a way to make her pay. You want to watch a movie?

Cyn: ya

Erica: ok *turning on the TV and looking on Netflix . she pressed play after selecting the movie.

Cyn: the little mermaid?

Erica: ya, I know how much you love it. Do you still remember the words to all the songs.

Cyn:*blushing shyly* ya

Erica: good, cause if I have to have Sebastian horrible crabby voice in my head ,you need to sing along to drown him out

Cyn: hey, Sebastian voice is unique.

Erica: mhmm. Shh let's watch the movie.

Half way through, cyn eyes got droopy. Erica was falling asleep herself when she heard soft snores, coming from on top her chest. She moved her head to the side to see cyn knocked out with a tiny pout on her lips. Her hand holding onto the edge of erica shirt.  Erica turned off the TV, but became painfully aware that cyn legs was somehow intertwined with her and cyn thighs was resting directly over erica groin. Erica didn't want to be having these thought about her best friend. She moved cyn body to the side and adjusted herself in her pants.  She breathed out when cyn didn't stir. She closed her eyes with her arms around cyn, securing her, praying that the nightmares was done for the night.
