Yana was locked in her room.... the basement. Her aunt was angry with her, because she didn't clean the cafe after leaving. Tears streamed down Yana's face. She was alone, and would never get used to it.
"Yana!"
She heard the basement door open, and then her cousin walked in with a worried face. "Did my mom lock you in here? I'll talk to her!" Yana held Jamie's arm and silently cried. "Why don't you hate me?" She asked, she wondered why he didn't hate her like his mother did. "Because my dad loves you. He said you reminded him of his sister, someone he'd want to protect forever." Jamie sat down beside her and let her cry in his arms. "If my mom hurts you. Let me know." Yana sniffed, remembering how she killed her uncle.
Flashback:
She was 12 years old, living with her uncle, her mother's brother. And his family. Ever since the day she came to live with them, her aunt was not very fond of her. And that all changed horribly as her uncle died.
"Do you want ice cream?"
Yana nodded and smiled. "Thank you!" Her uncle smiled at her. And they walked around the neighborhood for a while. Suddenly he noticed a man, following them. He quickly went to Yana's ear and whispered. "Drop your ice cream and run!" Yana answered worried "Why!?" Suddenly her uncle pushed Yana away and her uncle was stabbed. Yana's tears fell from her face, and she ran as fast as she could home.

"Your dad died because of me...."Jamie shook his head. "No he didn't. It was his choice. And it wasn't your fault he saved you."

Monday 9amYana opened the door to her class in Business School, and took a seat beside her only friend. "Hey" She offered her friend a smile. "Hey Yana, do you wanna go out to eat after classes?" Yana nodded. And then their professor came in.

"Yungieeee wait!!"Yana laughed as she tried to catch up with him. She felt a burst of happiness go through her, even though she knew that burst of happiness would only be for a while. Finally, she caught up and she let out a huge breath."You really need to work on your stamina" Yungso said, ruffling her hair. "Also stop calling me Yungie!" He pouted. They were childhood friends. Yana smiled up at him and sighed. "I'm almost 19...." Yungso raised an eyebrow and acted surprised. "Oh my god! I didn't know your birthday was in....wait....3 days!" Yana punched his shoulder and they went into the restaurant.
"How are you? We never get to hang out anymore, because of your aunt."
Yana sighed and stretched her arms. "I'm fine, anyways I like the cafe... it's just you know... I don't have time for myself from being the only person running the cafe." Yungso nodded and asked "Ok, um.. did you find anyone particularly attractive to you? You should go out and have fun, date people!" Yungso didn't want his bestfriend to always be locked up, not being able to live her life. Yana sighed again, sighing was a natural for her. "Stop sighing. Your making my mood fall." Yana glared at him. "I don't need to date people, find love whatever you call it. I have you and Jamie to love me..." Yungso shook his head. "Your still stuck on him aren't you?"
"No I'm not!"
