"Guess what today is?" Caramel asked.

"My birthday?" I replied.

"Close. Today is your best friend's birthday." Said Caramel.

"So that means I've been in a coma for a week." I thought aloud. Caramel nodded.

"Let me show you something." Caramel said sitting on the life movie cloud.

"Past or present?" I asked sitting at her side.

"Past. When Rose was turning 8." Said Caramel as the sky once again turned into a life movie.

"Happy birthday to you!" I screamed. It was only Rose and I. This was because her mom was at work, Lauren in Tennessee, and we still hadn't met Rain.

Rose blew out the candles on her birthday cake.

"I wish...I wish that Sheila Quene finally goes to hell like I've told her to." Rose said. 7 year old me started to laugh. Sheila Quene was the Brittany Sallo of second grade and she would always bully Rose and I for being the smartest in the grade. Thankfully Sheila moved to Alaska in the fourth grade so thank god for that.

"So what do you want to do now?" Tiny Rose asked. Little me gave her a mischievous grin.

"I have an idea." 7 year old Sofia said. God damn. Even back then I was trouble.

And so my little best friend and I rushed upstairs. 5 minutes later tiny me appeared along side tiny Rose at the top of the stairs, each of us holding an ironing board.

Rose slid down first on the ironing board. She was going so fucking fast that I only saw her once she hit the front door with a thud. She turned towards me. One of her front teeth was missing. Probably one of her first teeth to be taken out.

"Gnarly bro!" 7 year old me exclaimed sliding down the stairs on the ironing board. Suddenly the front door opened. Mrs. Copper was home from work. She gaped for a quick second before stepping out of the way. I slid into their front yard falling on my right arm.

Mrs. Copper ran after me. "Are you ok Sofia?"

I stood up and shrugged, except I could only shrug with one arm. Tiny Sofia's eyes widen then lil me looked down at my right arm. It was crooked as frick.

"Mommy we have to get to the hospital asap." Lil Rose said. And with that the life movie ended.

"Oh but there's more." Caramel said. And so another life movie started. It must've been a week since I had broken my arm.

Chase Roberts walked up to me. This was before we had become friends.

"Can I sign it?" 8 year old Chase asked looking down at my cast.

"S-sure." Tiny me replied as blood rushed to my cheeks.

Little Chase signed "Love is the best medicine."

"That's what my mom always tells me." He said kissing me on the cheek. Lil me turned completely red. Then the life movie ended.

"Adorable." Caramel smiled.
