"I'm okay." I smiled weakly as Winter grabbed my clothes for me to get ready to leave the hospital.
"That's good." Ben walks over. "Yea." Kelle agrees.
The only people in the room that were aware of my condition was Ben and Winter.
Ben had found out once when I had a flashback during practice. Winter of course knew because she's my best friend, a sister to me.
Kelle was the only one who seemed to be at a lost for words. I wondered if Ben had told him what was wrong...
Kofie, Joel, Anzejs, and My one last relative that I had contact with had all been by the see me.
That one last relative was my Aunt, my mom's sister, she's the one who found me after... Running away from my horrible boyfriend's house.
She's the one who got me into college and on my feet. She's the one I thank for guiding me when there was no one else around to do so.

Winter
I knew how much Zip liked Kelle, and how she might not be feeling the best after what had just happened, so I decided that we should all spend some time with her.
I ordered pizza, got a ton of soda, and we all headed to Zip's apartment.
-
"I really don't need this." Markelle sighs, with the look of temptation and lust on his face, all for junk food.
"But your fat ass wants it." Ben chuckled. Kelle just rolled his eyes. "Damn Right."
Zip laughed as she ate some of the pizza. "I haven't had soda since... off season..." Kelle said.
"Damn that long?" Zip looked like she actually showed sympathy for Kelle only because he couldn't really drink Soda.
"Yea... it's been just water and juice lately." He devoured the pizza.
"So what do you eat then?"
"I still eat junk but I eat salad sometimes."
"Oh yeah, of course Salad will always fix a full plate hot wings and French fries." Ben says sarcastically.
"Sheesh man, get off my case. I can't help that I love food."
"Same man, same..." Zip chuckles.
"Yea, y'all might be soulmates cause eating is her favorite thing to do." I said, intentionally trying to make an awkward moment, only to build up their romance.
Kelle and Zip looked at each other. They both blushed and Ben and I looked at each other like we had done a great job embarrassing them.
"We were just kidding Love birds... Don't get all rosy cheeked... unless you think you really are soulmates?" Ben smirked.
Zip seemed to gulp like her life depended on it. Kelle was just blushing away.
"You Like My Bestfran?" I asked, knowing the obvious answer. He just smirked with a blush.
I gave Zip a wink. She seemed like she was dying on the inside from that awkward moment, and me, I was honestly ecstatic to see my best friend gaining the courage to date.
And not only to date but to find good guys...
"Welp." Tzipora looked around.
Kelle placed his hand over his eyes, trying to regain strength from that awkward moment.
🖤
Tzipora
I decided to take a nap after everyone but Winter left. About two hours later I woke up to my phone ringing.
"...Hello?" I answered groggily. "Heyyy Tziporaaa." Markelle responded childishly.
I chuckled. "Sup."
"Put it on speaker!" Winter whispered.
I rolled my eyes and pressed the button.
"Whatcha got planned for tomorrow?" He asked.
"Um...Nothing I know of."
"Well I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me tomorrow." He sounded nervous.
Winter jumped up and down, behind the kitchen counter.
I did the same as we silently celebrated.
"So...?"
"Y-yes." I realized that I didn't answer him at first.
"Okay. I'll pick you up tomorrow at two."
"Wait-Wait. Where are we going?"
"It's a surprise." He chuckled.
Winter gave me a smirk. "Okay. See you tomorrow then." I winked at her.
"Alright bye."
"Bye." I hung up.
"Wooooooo! Score!!!! You got a date sis!" Winter danced.
"Yessss," She gave me a high five.
"What to wear, What to wear?!?!?"
"Well...He did say two, so it must not be too fancy. Probably something casual."
"Okay, okay come help me find something." I grabbed her hand excitedly and ran into my closet.
