"Right here is fine." I say to Mr. Anderson's driver.

He slowly pulls in to the curb and I say to him thank you as I begin to gather my things.

The ride was much shorter to my apartment in a car than a bus.

If only I had a car.

I quickly shake my head at the thought and focus on knowing that things will get better. They won't always stay like this.

As I begin to open the door and step out the driver asks me a question that makes me want to laugh.

"Would you like me to walk you in Miss?" He questions while analyzing over the street with a worried look.

I chuckle as I begin to slide out.

"No I'm alright but thank you." I finish as I close the door and wave to him before walking up to the front door.

As I walk in through the apartment I notice how eerily quiet it is and wonder if Mia is even home.

I decide on not checking due to the fact that right now we're not in a good place at all. It saddens me to think that I want to tell her about so much and yet I can't because of where we are right now.

I decide to embrace these new gifts and focus on starting them up and having them programmed.

The first one I focus on is the iPhone, and as I begin to open the box I cannot help but feel extremely thankful to Mr. Anderson for giving me these gifts.

Maybe I should take Mikyala's advice and give him the benefit of the doubt.

What happened Friday was a simple mishap and it won't happen again. I'm sure that we are capable of having a professional relationship.

I'm sure we can. I say mentally trying to assure myself of this concept.

****
After starting up the electronics from Mr. Anderson, I felt accomplished with being able to maneuver them.

They're not hard to understand actually, they're pretty much self explanatory which makes it all that more easy.

I decide to go grocery shopping since Mia and I had already written down what it was that we needed.

****

Once having entered the apartment with the groceries, while almost tumbling down with them a few times may I add, only then had I noticed Mia coming out of her bedroom with her earphones in.

I quickly look at her while waddling in with all the groceries but just as quickly I peel my eyes away from her to place down the groceries.

From the corner of my eye I notice her take out her earphones while slowly approaching the island.

You can almost slice through the tension with a knife with how morbid it is in here.

As I struggle to place the groceries on the counter she clears her throat and begins with,

"I didn't know you were going grocery shopping today. I would've helped." She says with a very shy and repressed tone.

"I figured better to get it out of the way." I respond while beginning to put away the contents.

"Yeah, I agree." She continues. "Do you need help putting them away?" She asks shyly?

I mentally pause while putting away the milk in the fridge and deciding whether or not to let her help.

I mean should I? Or would it seem extremely petty of me to say no?

I mean for Pete's sake we're arguing over a guy? But then again it's not just any guy.

We're arguing over someone who made my life a living hell a few years ago. That isn't just something one must take lightly.

As I begin to realize I have taken long enough to respond back to her. I decide on my answer.

"No." I say before even realizing what just came out of my mouth. "I'm alright." I immediately add trying to soften the blow.

But by the look on her face I can already tell she felt hurt by my decision.

She quickly tried to mask her emotion by giving me a small smile and informing me that she'll be in her room if I need anything.

I gave her a short nod as I finished putting away the rest of the groceries.

I too felt hurt by my decision but she needs to realize where I stand with this situation.

I cannot take this lightly.... I just can't.

I finished putting the rest of the groceries away while lost in my thoughts that I hadn't realized Mia was standing right next to me.

I jumped from the mini heart attack that I just received to be greeted by an I'm sorry.

I recollect my thoughts and move out of the way to head out of the kitchen when Mia stops me with a question I've been waiting long enough to hear, with an all familiar sense to it.

"Can we talk?" She asks me.
