Rather than head home to New York like I planned, I made a detour to Orlando to be around my siblings for a while. I knew that I was too emotional to be in New York alone so I chose to be around people to keep me from being too low. After what happened a few months ago, I knew that allowing myself to be alone wasn't the best idea. Plus I hadn't seen either of them in a while and I missed them.
I landed in the city at midnight and had no intentions of waking Justice and his family so I called up Khloe since she had an off-campus apartment. I had no desire to be in a hotel room for my stay. She was great company for her winter break and I wanted that comfort again. She picked me up and took me back to her place which was very nice, and it really hit me just how hard she'd been working. She was nothing but hustle.
"I know you said that you were just visiting but something feels off." she climbed in her bed with me and a bowl of sugared popcorn. "Are you doing okay?"
"No, not really but I don't want to talk about it either."
"Is it another depressive episode?" worry painted her face.
I shook my head, "No and I don't want what I'm going through to lead to another one so I'm trying to take a few of the steps that helped me bring myself out of the last one."
"Okay. Don't hold it in again either. That was what led you to the last one. You don't have to talk to me about it but talk to someone."
"I've already scheduled an appointment with my therapist."
"Good. Would you rather hear about my life and what's been going on?"
"Yes, please."
She moved from her spot beside me to the center of the bed, sitting Indian style. I grabbed a pillow to prop my head up and give her my full attention.
"Well, you know about all of my business endeavors but my personal life has been a lil juicy I guess. For one, Daniel is back in my life. He came over once I got back from New York and we've been hanging and going out, ya know starting over. But I haven't cut any of my hoes off because I'm aware that he's still out here fucking. A few days ago, he pulled up on me while one of my plays were over here and it was hell fire. He was pissed! Girl he pulled his gun out on the man."
