Chapter 8 - Chapter 7

Leah

After having breakfast this morning with my grandmother and our cousin Brad who was 31 years old, we went for a walk around the neighborhood taking in the beautiful flower and how lush and green the grasses are I'm so in love with nature.

My grandmother had informed me that she is giving me as much time as I needed to settle and got comfortable before she brought Mikah around, and I was fine with that.

We continue walking and I zoned them out wondering about mom John called me this morning and told me she was not at the apartment, and he went there twice, and she was nowhere to be found maybe she laid up with somebody young enough to be her son, or she was out doing god knows what at a trap house since she's so strung on drugs.

After our long walk we were finally home Brad said he was spending the rest of the week here so he gets t comfortable.

After getting a glass of orange juice and an apple to eat I decided to go to my room and I immediately headed for the bathroom after gathering my outfit for the day.

I took a shower and washed my hair after about an hour I got out the shower and dried my hair before moisturizing it and leaving it out.

I got dressed and started searching for something to watch on Netflix I decided to watch venom I turned off the light and took out a snack of my choice and played the movie.

The movie ended and I went to my grandmother's room asking her if she would like to accompany me to park or the mall, "I'm really busy at the moment how about you ask the girl next door to go with you so you can make a friend" she said

I put my shoes on and pulled my hair into a messy bun she gave me one of her cards and told me to get whatever I wanted I stood unsure, and she told me it was okay to take the card and go and I told her I didn't want to be followed.

Having her card and the pin to nit made me feel some type of way.

She told me she couldn't help it and that she will have them keep their distance I didn't know the place but having two guys following me made me feel abnormal.

I gave her a hug and went out, I walked across the street and press the buzzer by the gate, so Amalee could know that someone outside her brother opened the door and told the security it was okay to let me in I gave him a small smile as he opened the gate.

Her brother greeted me as I stood awkwardly not sure how I should address him I had only a few encounters with people and it gave me anxiety I introduced my self properly stuttering in the process he began to laugh.

"I stood there confused well I'm Kimalee and I think your very beautiful"he said.

I smiled at his random compliment and told him I really like his name he opened the door and led me to the living room as I waited for Amalee to come downstairs I admired the portrait above the fireplace with the both of them in matching clothes and I smiled.

After a while, she came downstairs and smile big when she saw me Kimalee had run off to do whatever leaving me alone she came and gave me hug, and I was surprised by her excitement to see me.

She noticed and told me she didn't have any friends, and she was kind of new to this and I smiled knowing my situation was slightly similar.

(Yes I Know She always smiling)

I told her why I was over here, and she grew excited and pulled me to her room to help her pick an outfit, after talking and playing around we were finally ready she went in the kitchen to tell her brother she was leaving, and he hugged us both before telling us later.

It was strange how they both accepted me so soon.

Amalee was heading for her bike but I quickly stopped her and showed her the van with the man standing outside not taking his eyes off us.

We got in the van, and she plugged her earphones in her phone and gave me one side while we both listened to music the guys at the front engaged in their conversation while they drove to the mall.

●●●●●●●●●

We spent three whole hours at the mall, and I was tired we bought clothes, shoes, underwear and a lot more, we also got our nails and hair done, and we also stopped to get lunch

I went home and Amalee went over after we exchanged numbers she told me she would text me, and I was super excited about that because this was progress, and I was finally making a friend.

I began unpacking my stuff feeling genuinely happy for the first time in forever I didn't have to fake a smile or anything at this point and I didn't have to worry about anybody selling my clothes or me wearing them too much time because at this point I had enough to give away.
