"I'm so glad you didn't harm yourself I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you did," his voice cracks at the end causing me to choke on my own words "Muffin we have to find a solution and fast because I refuse to keep sleeping alone". Leave it up to him to make me smile.
"I know handsome just give me some time". I need to sort things out before I leave again. I need to find out more about my mom, I need to help Nina with her daughter, and I have to fix things with my dad. "Okay but we have to do it soon because I have to get back and sort somethings out myself" he says. I know it is selfish of me to make him wait, keeping him away from his job and family. "Thank you handsome" I look back and see Sam walking back with a tray of food.
"Do you feel better Muffin?" he ask. I know I should get off the phone before Sam sees me on it but I'm not ready to say bye just yet.
"Actually I do" I slide my glasses back on trying to hide my puffy red eyes from Sam.
"Good I'll call you later Muffin because Logan is getting a little jealous I need to cheer him up" he laughs. I join in "Okay tell him that you're all his for now that is". Sammy sits next to me with a raised eyebrow. She is probably wondering where I got the phone from. "Love you Muffin always don't forget that" he says. I can't stop the smile from creeping on my face "Me too". I hang up the phone and reach for my bowl of ice cream, which I know Nina made because it has homemade brownies in it. "Who was that and where the phone come from?" Sam ask.
"A friend and what phone?" I shove a spoonful of ice cream with brownies. The brownies are still warm. They are so mushy and chocolaty I think I just died and went to brownie heaven. She nods her head in understanding and drops the convo. I love her for. "Okay so I guess no one knows about the phone and this is your way of telling me to shut up" she says. I point my spoon at her "Smart girl remind me again why you're with Raul?". I still don't get that. She sticks out her tongue at me "Not going there". She stands and walks back to her seat as we eat our ice cream in complete silence.
"Okay I'm sorry" I finally give in. I don't want to fight with her especially over Raul. "Did you even think about me when you decided to leave?" she ask throwing me of guard. Of course I thought about her and every one else. They were the reason why it took me so long to make the decision in the first place. Every time I thought about leaving them behind it broke my heart. "All my life it has always been me and you against everyone. You're more than just my cousin you're my best friend and sister. So when you ran away you took all of that away leaving me alone" she brings her knees up to her chest and wraps her arms around them "I had no one to talk to yeah there is Jr. but you know he is always traveling and well you know about my mom. The first few days were the worst I've never felt so lonely in my life. One day I was outside by the pool getting some sun when Raul stopped by. You know he was the first person who actually ask how I was doing. Every one else just pretended like nothing was happening. After that day he would stop by everyday to see how I was doing. Next thing I know we were dating. So yeah you might think he is an asshole but he was there for me when no one was" she smiles.
