Discovering Me

Chapter 22- Sapphire

We were back home and things weren't the same, Reya had one her award but she wasn't as proud as I thought she would've been. Abby told me she'd been struggling since she found out Armaan had cheated on her, she felt worthless and not enough, she looked gloomy as well and occasionally snapped at us too.

I wasn't any better, although Harris and I weren't that close, I kind of missed him, as far as I knew our relationship was quite platonic although my heart did skip a beat once or twice, maybe three times, okay all the time when I was around him, but I didn't think it was love, maybe I just got a rush of chemicals in my brain, knowing how fond of me he was, realising how many girls would've wanted to be where I am right now, it made me feel self assured, maybe a part of me did like him back, but I knew I wouldn't act on it, maybe pushing him away.

Reya and I had our fat dates every few weeks after coming back from Dubai, we were exceeding in collage exceptionally due to all the free time we had, extra work me and Reya did every week. Her cousins had visited her snapping her back, away from her gloominess, and she therefore forgot about me,which meant I had to find something to do, so I baby sat for my neighbours, I was fine with it I loved kids and they loved me, something I couldn't forget was that day, I'd had the same dream since I had arrived from Dubai, it was exactly the same,but it had no sound, it started with me and the man who died and we were sitting in a super fancy restaurant when all of a sudden everything goes black and he just dies like in the bathroom, then the scene cuts to me training, kickboxing to be specific with Reya, but it wasn't Reya because she had a buzz cut and had zero makeup on, it was Reya but then it wasn't and then the person I'm hitting is Harris who looks asleep.

I've tried to forget about it and I think it's been working, all I have to do is busy myself.

Reya's PoV

"It's okay, you're just one step closer to finding your one and only, Armaan was just there to make and easier for you, heartbreak happens to people and when you do find the one you won't even remember him" Aleesa reassured me, as Diya, Abby, Jasmine and I sat in her bedroom, she wanted to tell us something, but I was being a drama queen.

"Isn't that from wizards of Waverley place?" Asked Diya.

"Also you can die from heartbreak" interjected Jasmine as she munched on some crisps.

"You guys are really not helping" she whispered.

"Whatever" I sighed.

"I'll get over him, anyways you wanted to tell us something, that, and I quote you were 'super excited' about" I asked.

"Okay, guess" she said.

"Ugh you're pregnant" sighed Abby.

"No but close"

"WHAT?!" We said in unison.

"Did you do the do?" Asked Diya wide eyed.

"Nope" she smiled.

"Aleesa are you all right 'cause you didn't make a face of great distaste or say 'ew' at the beginning of that sentence" I said as I reached for her hand which was behind her back.

I pulled her left hand forward, to check for a pulse, maybe she was a jinn.

"Oh My God! You b*tch, why didn't you tell us!" I said as I looked at her ring finger which wore a massive sapphire stone.

"Who's the guy?" Asked Jasmine.

"Who do you think?" Aleesa rolled her eyes.

"Wait, when did you get engaged, and how did I not know of this?" Jasmine yelled.

"Um, surprise!" Aleesa Jazz handed.

"It's not funny, you basically cheated on me" she said as the rest of us slowly backed out.

We all nervously looked at Jasmine before she burst into fits of laughter and we all joined in, until we were rolling on the floor. Aleesa's mum knocked on the door asking our opinion on when the wedding should be.

"Mum! I only just got engaged! You aren't getting rid of me are you?" She asked.

"No! If i could I'd keep you with me all my life, aww I'm so happy for you, Yusha is such a good man, a bit dopey, but we can work with it" we all laughed as we saw Aleesa getting slightly angry.
