Chapter 2

"Nana?" I yelled as i walked in.

"In here!" Came my reply, from somewhere around the kitchen, i walked in to find my 60 year old, hip and fun nana, rocking out to her ihome, and attempting to cook... i hoped...

"what... um... are you doing, nana?"

"cooking. what'ds it look like I'm doin?" she confirmed my suspicions in her slightly southern accented voice."How was your run, sweetie?"

"Interesting..." I said thinking of the turquoise eyed stranger i had met, whose name i didn't even know. oh my god i didn't even know his name, and I was meeting him again tomorrow.

"interesting?"

"Hmm" I mumbled "I met someone, but I don't really know his name...I'm meeting him again tomorrow."

"oh, it's a him huh?" i just laughed.

"yeah, nana, it's a him' so what?"she did't say anything, which scared me, if nana was thinking something mischievous she said it, then again, Banana knew everything I had gone through, she was the one who came and picked me up from the hospital that fateful night, and brought me here, almost a month ago now.

For once since then, I let myself drift back to my days before nana picked me up, my long term boyfriend, we had met at a bar and instantly hit off,

stewart, had been out when i got back from work so I had had a shower and had settled down for a movie night, hoping he'd come home soon, so we could cuddle and watch the movie and go to bed, me and stew, we hadn't been together much those few days, and i had been eager. That's when the girls had called and told me we were gonna go and have some fun for the night, since stew hadn't been at home, i had called and informed him of our plans and told him to give me a call, he had agreed and i remember dressing up and setting off, we went to a club and got straight down to it, i hadn't drank much though, i had wanted to be sane for Stew that night, Kara had droped me off after some time, it wasn't that late, and she had her man waiting for her back home too, Stew had asked me to move in with him after about ten months of dating and I had fallen in love, I believed that he loved me too, as it happens I had gone in, unlocking the door, and found Stew in bed already,with a sigh I went to use the bathroom and clean up, before snuggling in with him, in the bathroom I had found a pair of thongs, obviously not mine,and i highly doubted they were Stewart's, that was my first heartbreak caused by a guy i was in love with... His shirt was on the bathroom floor too and smelled of ladies perfume, i had still given him the benefit of doubt and had walked into the bedroom stumbling through my tears and woken him up, to find he was drunk... he had slapped me and beat me so hard I had had to go into hospital, he drove me there, after all he had done, When I had woken up, I called the first source of comfort I could think of: Banana, and she had brought me home. now sitting in the kitchen at nana's thinking about it brought tears to my eyes.

I wiped them away quickly and stood from the bar stool along her pantry and said

"I'm gonna shower ok?"

She nodded, concentrating on stirring whatever it was she was cooking," hey nana, what are you cooking anyway?"

"chicken liver soup, you want some?"

"yeah, no, that's okay, i think I'll stick to a take out..."

"suit yourself,' she snickered. I laughed.And left to take a shower, letting the hot beads of water strike and run down my skin, it felt good.
