Catallina's POV

One month ago.

"Hey Sarah... I think I should start rebuilding my life you know? What if I just move here to Bogotà even if it's a normal home and find a job at a local hospital and start everything from scratch?"I spoke after I had zoned out watching the final episode of the Witcher. Henry Cavil is just... Beautiful.

"You know you can just stay with me. Both of our families can take care of our lives. You know you don't have to work." She stuffed a handful of chocolate flavoured popcorns in her mouth as her eyes still fixated on the Tv.

"I know but am not in good terms in my family and I just want to break free and learn to live on my own. Am 25.. its due time actually." I really meant it. All my life I used to live in people's houses... My Parents', Leo's and now am in Sarah's. It just doesn't feel right.

"Ok ok. We can always look for a real estate agent and get you a big house... We can always throw parties and have our college friends over." This time she spoke looking at me.

"No.. I want something I can afford with my own money. A normal house is ok and you know how I feel about parties... I just... I just don't like it. And besides... We can always throw a party in your house. I mean just look at this house. It's huge and you live alone here." I said looking at the walls and ceiling. It wasn't as huge as Leo's... Not even close.

But for one person... Her house is big.

"Yeah I know. Was just trying to mess with you. I will help you look for a decent house and maybe we can find a house of your worth." She said smirking at me. She knew how extremely choosy I am so this house hunting was going to take a long time.

"Sure I can't convince you to stay with me?" She asked one last time with a little frown on her face.

"100% sure Sar." I replied this time seriously.

"Ok then... Now shut up will yah?  Henry Cavil is talking." She said throwing some popcorns on my face that land everywhere except my mouth when I tried to catch one. We both laughed at my failure and we refocused on the Series.

A week later.

This looks perfect. The bungalow had enough space, the color scheme of the house is ok... The furniture that came with it was simple but I can add a vase there, with fresh red roses or even orchids. Add more cultery and no way... That rug's got to go. Its just hideous. It looks like it came from a diseased cow's skin.

"Where do you want this painting to go... The living room or it should stay at the bedroom?" Sean asked carrying a painting that Sarah did and decided to give me as a housewarming gift. If I didn't say then... Sarah is one hell of a talented woman. Despite of going all over the world to see new culture... What she did most was paint what she saw or maybe just take pictures so she would always keep a piece of heaven with her. Those are her exact words.

"Living room. Thanks Sean!" I shouted as I rolled the carpet and pulled it towards the exit which became impossible since it was heavier than it looked.

I had officially moved out from Sarah's house which had to go through some cries from Sarah... A little bit of mine and promising to visit each other since we were both in one state which hasn't been since college.
