We all blindly stumble upon challenges and situations in our lives that make no sense whatsoever and that's basically what happens to 17y old Regina when she's faced with a budding conflict that turns her love life upside down and inside out.
She's...

Regina
Pulling into Auntie's driveway I almost threw up because of the anxiety that I was holding in..
I just felt it in my stomach that all of this would go wrong.
I kept Refusing to let it out, but the sweat forming underneath my jacket said otherwise so I took it off.
Nikki looked at me and placed her free hand on top of mine and I grabbed it.
"Look, what if this is a bad idea?"
She looked at me. "Being together is a bad idea?" I bit my lip. "Look I know this is scary, but how long can we hold off love?"
I stayed quiet and then answered. " I just feel like.. this could probably not be the best time." I said as everything that happened flashed in front of the back of my eyelids everytime I closed them.
Then the car stopped.
We were here.
"Well...." she said as she took a deep breath.
"The feelings I've developed for you..are real, Reggie, I want you to know that. I did love Alicia!- I wasn't faking that but this?.. is something way stronger than that, and I don't wanna lose.. whatever this is building up to be, baby. I've never felt like this with anyone before. When you first told me how you felt or were starting to feel towards me, it was still all a blur whether I wanted to take this step to permanently have you or not..but now that I've gotten the chance to really get to know you for the adult you're becoming, I know that I wanna be the one to help you grow and love you. That I wanna be in your life always.....you understand?"
I looked in her eyes as she said the last word and I could feel it inside that she really meant everything she just said.
She was telling me the truth.
Finally, somebody.
We went in for a kiss before she pulled away from me caressing my face.
Her touch or any type of embrace she would give me always made me feel safe and warm inside. I've never felt that before.
