(N.) what a person truly believes; the behavior and opinions which are often kept hidden and only displayed with ones closest confidants

You know how you lose something, and there's a feeling like something missing. That's how I've been feeling, like there's some type of void here. Like something is missing And I cannot process what it is.

I sat on my bed staring at the ceiling wondering what's been keeping me like this. "Apollo" I said feeling something slide across my hand making it wet. I sat up to look at my cane corso pup to see him staring at me with his head tilting to the side. "Hi boy, want to go for a walk"  I said getting up to grab his harness and leash. 

Night to morning, morning to night  5 in the morning it was the moment now as I walk with Apollo down the street. I sighed as I  was Apollos Walk Infront of me. The sun was starting to come out as we came upon a park.  "How about we take a minute boy" I said guiding him to the swings and sitting down.  Apollo laid his head on my lap and allowed me to pet him, As I watched sun rise above the ground. At the moment there was a peace.

"Hey thanks for coming" Spence said as he opened the door for me to come in. "Yea no problem" I said walking into the James house hold,  I notice a pretty girl standing in the middle of the room.

"Hey, Im Kia" she said smiling and holding her hand out, "Hi, Nova" I said smiling back " So whats Up" I said looking between Spencer and Kia. "I need your help" Spencer said put his hands up. 

"Okay, Im down to help, but what am I helping with" I said plopping down while Kia and Spencer followed. "We want to to restore Essence Park, for the kids." 

"We get folks to help clean it up and ,-" Spencer said. "And Use it as a chance to show them why getting rid of the gangs is good for everyone. Get them to sign up" 

"I like it " I said Nodding my head " but stuff like this need to move fast, there's supplies and we are gonna need alot of man power' I said  sitting back. "That's not a problem" Spencer said

Walking around with Chris and handing out flyers, placing them on poles to be notice. 

"Nova" Looking over at Chris as we were still walking down the streets. "I'm sorry" I stopped walking and completely turned to him. 

"Chris, If this about Cam. I'm not mad with you. Your were to trying to be a friend" I said smiling, "But I am done with him though". He nodded his head " Hey let's take a break and get something to drink, on me" 

-

We sat on a bench and took sips of our drinks.  

"SOOO, how's it going with my sister"  I said leaning back and notice that Chris looked a little down "Honestly, I don't know, she's kind been distance from me a little bit" 

Shaking my head "I'm sorry, Chris"  turning my head to him. "I'm sure it's nothing, she been hanging out a lot with Layla from my understanding, just talk to her and explain how you feel" 

"What you been up to Nov" Looking up at the sky and messaging my temple. "I've been thinking... a lot of thinking" "on". 

"I want to go back to playing tennis" I said looking at Chris.

The Next Day. 

Today was the day we would clean Essence Park and gather signatures for the cause that could help community. A handful of people had showed up and started helping out with bringing supplies and started cleaning up.
