I woke up by the sound of my alarm. I was 9:25a.m. I didn't have classes until next week which was good. Yesterday I just stay home in my room watching movies and eating all day. I haven't talk to Daniel since Saturday. I just gave it time until I felt better. I didn't wanted to stress out and panic all over again. I push the covers off of me and got up. Then open my door and head to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and wash my face after. Then dry my face and put lotion on. Once I was done I head to my room again. I started to think what I should do today. I head to the kitchen and saw Chelsey doing breakfast. "Good morning sunshine," she said with a smile. "Morning mom," I say back with a giggle.

As she was done doing breakfast, Jc, Corey, and Crawford came out of their room. We all said good morning to each and sat down. We ate together and talk. "So Mila what are you doing today," Crawford says. "Going to decorate and fix my room," I say back. As we got done eating breakfast, I head back to my room and clean a bit. As the hours went by it was 3:20p.m. Jc was in the "office" streaming with Corey and Crawford. Me and Chelsey are in my room. "So I was thinking of putting my bed the other way so I can put my desk here," I say to Chelsey. "Omg yes then you can put and the pictures here," she says as pointing to the other wall.

So we started to move the bed to the other side and after we started to put the pictures on the wall. "So how's life," Chelsey says. "Ummm it's been okay I guess," I say with a sigh at the end. "Hey whatever you're going through we are all here for you," she looks at me at smiles. I smile back. I continue to put some pictures on the wall. After I hang my circle mirror in the middle of the other wall. Went to my closet and open the box were my art supplies were. And I put them on one side of my desk. I put my laptop on my desk also. As we got done, I started to mop the floor. After I got done, Chelsey head upstairs to her room to get her clothes so she could go shower. Then I did the same. I grabbed a T-shirt and some gray sweats.

I head to the bathroom and put my clothes on the top of the toilet cover and started to take off my clothes. I turn on the water and enter into the shower. After I got done showering and put on my clothes, I head back to my room. I sat on my bed and look at my phone. I got 15 miss calls and 6 messages from Daniel. I froze. I didn't feel like talking to him yet. I felt like it isn't the right time to talk to each. After what I did, just felt like it wasn't right. I put my phone down on my night stand. I got up from my bed and left my room. I head to the kitchen and grab a water bottle from the fidge. I see Chelsey coming down from the stairs. "Thanks for helping me with my room today," I say with a smile. "No problem girly, I got you," she said with smile and giggled.

I head to the other room where the guys are still streaming together. "You guys are still playing," I say while laughing. "You wanna play?" Jc says. "Nah maybe next time, y'all are crazy," I say. I walked out from the room and head to my room. As I got there I grab my phone from my nightstand and turn it on. I see 4 messages from Franny and 26 missed calls from Daniel. I unlock my phone and check Frannys messages. First message said, "Heyyy Mila, Daniel has been trying to call you but you don't answer, you okay." Second message says, "Are you ignoring him lol." Third message, "Omg did you tell him how did it go." Last message says, "You there."

I texted her back saying I'm busy doing some things. I didn't want to tell her cuz I didn't want to make it a big deal about it. Hours pass by and it was 7:22p.m. I was laying in bed watching Netflix on my tv. Jc and Chelsey are upstairs in their room watching a movie. Crawford and Corey are in their rooms doing who knows what. Then I heard someone knocking on the front door. I didn't want to get it cuz I was too comfy. Then I heard someone knocking on my door. I groan and got up and walk towards my door. As I open it, I see the person that I been ignoring the past two days.

"Hey," Daniel says with a sigh at the end. I was frozen. I couldn't even speak but I calm myself down and breathe. "What are you doing here," I say. "Can I come in," he says. I open the door wider and he comes in. I close my door and turn around to him. "Look I'm sorry, I freaked out and didn't know what to say," he says. I look down and breathe. "No I'm sorry, I'm so stupid, I don't even know if you have feelings for me and now that I told you and you freaked out, I feel like I ruin our friendship and scared you off. That's why I didn't text you or call you back because I wanted to give it time," I say with a shaky voice. "If you don't feel the same way I get it. I just don't want you to force yourself and tell yourself okay just date her," I continue.

He grabs my hand. "For now we should stick as friends, Mila I don't wanna hurt you. I barely have time for myself and I don't think I'll have time for you because of management and the album me and the band are making and everything else. I just don't wanna hurt. You're the best person I ever met and I don't wanna ruin it for us," he says with a sigh at the end. "I understand," I say. He lets go of my hand and hugs me tightly. I hug him back. Maybe he's right. I'm moving to fast and I'll probably ruin it for us. He lets go and looks at me. "I'll see you soon again okay," he says. I whispered okay to him. He walks to my door and opens it. I watch him leave my room.

Crawford and Corey comes in into my room. "What happen," Crawford says. I look at him. "Oh he wanted to talk about this one song he wrote for the new album," I say smiling. Corey looks at me with a "really" look. He knew I was lying. Crawford said oh and left the room. "So what really happen," Corey says. "He apologized but then I also apologized and told him if he doesn't feel the same it's okay. I don't want him to force himself to be with me if he doesn't have feelings for me. He also said we should stick as friends cuz he don't wanna hurt me," I say. "That's bullshit, he just doesn't want to admit it cuz he thinks if everybody knows then something might go bad, or rumors are going to be around," Corey says.

"Maybe Daniel is right Corey. What if we are not ready, maybe for him, which I get cuz he is busy and I feel like I'm moving to fast," I say. "Alright well I'm headed back to my room cuz y'all are stressing me the fuck out," he says. I giggled as I see him leave my room. I sat back on my bed. Spaced out and thought of a lot. I think I'm moving to fast to have a boyfriend. I told myself I would take care and love myself first when I got out of my first relationship. Yup I only had one boyfriend but that was two years ago. I'm greatful I made it out alive.

I head out of my room and walk to the kitchen I saw Chelsey cooking. We were going to have spaghetti for dinner. After we all sat down and minutes later we were finish eating, Crawford and Corey were playing Call Of Duty while Jc and Chelsey were watching a tv show. I decided to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth then wash my face. After I was done, I put on lotion and head back to my room. I change into some shorts and a black tank top. I walk towards my bed and lay down. I grab my phone and unlock it. I message Daniel good night. Then a couple seconds later he replied back with good night and love you with a red heart. I smile and said love you too with a red heart. After turning off my phone and put it down, I think I should just take some time off.

I start class next week and I need to concentrate and not be thinking of something else. "Please god make the virus go away so we can go back to our normal lives," I say with a sigh at the end. I slowly closed my eyes and started to fall asleep..........
