The stories of life
Make us hang to our most significant loss
We grief them in darkest thought
We hope for them when we are in need
Losing someone make your world crashing
That Pain can be sociology and depression

Veronica barged into Betty's apartment in a sunny afternoon while Reggie resting his head on the wall whistling.

She walked inside the living room as she watched her best friend seated down on the couch watching an old videotape of her and Trevor with a cup of coffee in her hand. She knew Betty couldn't forgive her for the death of her husband. He was her everything, and now he's gone. How was she going to live her life now? She stayed still sitting on the couch watching one of their funny moment with Trevor.

"You know when Trevor propose." She acknowledged Veronica presence. "I was the happiest person in the world. But my parent couldn't let me be satisfied. Why? Is this a punish from going against their wish. She started crying when it comes to Trevor Betty to get emotional about him. He everything she wanted in a man.

"B I know losing Trevor pain you. But its high time you move on?" Veronica suggested to her.

"I don't think so." She replied in disbelief.

"No, you can......." Veronica took Betty to her room. "Starting now."

"Hey, I have an option about this." She says protesting.

"Your option does not matter here. Just go with the flow." Betty didn't ask any more question when she noticed Veronica searched through her wardrobe.

Veronica picked out a red floral dress. A big smile was on her face.

"This dress will look good on you," Veronica stated in excitement.

Betty folded her arm "I'm not going on any blind date this time."

She knew what Veronica is capable of doing. The last time she went on a date, it turned into a disaster. The guy Veronica set up her with had anger issue from that da; Betty didn't bother listening to Veronica on setting her up with any date.

"I'm not setting you up for a date I just want my best friend back. I want you Ethel, Kelvin, Reggie and me to hang out at Pops just like the old times for my sake. I rarely see you these days. You keep shutting yourself out away from everyone life. I feel slowly I'm losing my best friend. It wasn't your fault Betty. That just how life is.

Betty thought about it. She hasn't been too distant over the years. Maybe hanging out in Pop's will do her good.

.🔱🔱.

The bell rang Pop's saw someone he hadn't seen in years when she was walking; he quickly embraced her.

"Betty has been too long." He smiled was genuine. "This place is nothing without my dear.

Veronica and Reggie went to sit in their free spot. Reggie kissed Veronica on the cheek, making her blush.

Betty went the corner booth where Reggie and Veronica are. She slid beside her, looking around. Opposite her was Ethel from high school. Betty looked down at her knee size dress. A beautiful red floral dress is showing her long legs and a tiny waist.

Betty put her hands on her hips, feeling uneasy coming to a place that reminded her of Trevor. She didn't spot when Kevin sat beside them.

"Betty, you are looking good tonight," Reggie said with a smiled admiring her dress.

Veronica immediately gave him a dirty look.

"Babe I can't compliment anymore." He kissed her cheek.
