I was laying on my bed looking at the dry ceiling because I missed staring at my star stickers in my former room, so instead I picked my phone and started playing candy crush on my phone to take me away from the reality of my life at the moment.

I heard noise coming from the living room it’s like we have guests, I checked the time and it was already 5:30 p.m, I wonder who could be in our house by this time.

Few minutes have passed and I heard a knock on my door. “It’s open I said." I said

And Mom came in with Mrs. Griffin and her twins, immediately my eyes landed on Logan and Lucas my stomach turned into a knot and my expression changed but then I have to be nice to their Mom,

“Hey dearie," Mrs. Griffin said, I sat down properly on my bed and kept my phone on my lap.

“Hello Mrs. Griffin.” I smile when she sat on the bed, “Oh come on, call me Rose please.” She said creasing my cheeks,

“I think Ms. Rose would be better.” I said giving her a smile.

“Okay, if you say so.” She shrugged.

Now I got nervous because all eyes is on me but immediately Ms. Rose saw my discomfort she then said,“Sorry I couldn’t come by to the hospital, you know how our work is always. So, I brought you my special cookies to make it up and welcome back home dearie.”

Immediately she said so my eyes light up and I hugged her, “Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.” I said.

I was about to let go when she whispered in my ear
“I know you don’t want to see my son’s or have anything to do with them. But I think you guys need to talk, because all of you are hurting in different way and the best thing is to talk things out. Believe me I know how it is to be at the receiving end, we recently had a heart to heart conversation with my crazy son's for not seeing the amazing jewel they have in front of them, so please for my sake hear them out. And when you healthy to come over to my place I will tell you my own part of the story if you need to know anything. Besides I didn’t tell your mother about you and Lucas fight because it will break her. That will be our secret okay.”

She finished saying and broke from the hug and I saw a glimpse of tear in her face before she wiped it and gave me a reassuring smile.

Her words broke me once again into another piece and I think I will break down any moment but I held everything in and smiled because I saw the look of worry on my Mom’s face and when she saw my smile, the worry vanished just as it came.

Ms. Rose stoodup and told my Mom something and they left my room leaving behind the twins and my sister all starring at me. Diana closed the door. I didn’t know what to say because too much emotion is bubbling up in my throat, I put my head in my palm covering my face with my hand, I wanted to yell and cry none came because I remember Didi's word, and it came like a flash always.

“You know Logan might be an asshole but deep down I see love in his eyes. He is just showing you in the best way he knows how to get your attention....Brielle when he finally realizes what he has in front of him and when you finally realise your love for him too please don’t waste it but make sure you teach him a lesson.” 

I felt someone came to sit beside me on the bed pulling me into a hug and I knew it Diana and I heard more movement. I took my time to regain my self and when I lift my head up I saw Logan and Lucas sitting at the edge of my bed, everyone was expecting my outburst so they where all quite still waiting for me to talk, but instead I surprised them by giving them all a smile and I saw the shocked expression on their faces but only Diana smiled too.

I told Diana to stand up, and I indicate for Lucas to come sit beside me on the left and same to Logan who sat beside me on the right. Diana took the chair from the reading table and sad across it watching me, and I read her eyes which is saying I am so proud of you.

“I know this is what Damian would want me to do because that is who he is, besides life is too short to hold grudges or keep miles. God knows I survive that accident for a reason and I will make good use of it, till I finally join Damian.” A tear slipped from my face when I said his name out loud and immediately the tears started pouring but that didn’t stop me from saying what I want to say.

I faced Lucas, “Lucas. What you did cannot be justified but the least I can do is to forgive you and move on with my life, I took you as my best friend but you stabbed me in the back, I always ask myself why? But I can’t change what has happen, so I hope you truly repent for your bad ways but we can no longer be that close friends we use to be. So, you don’t have to be guilty or apologise, I don’t want them, I have forgiven you Lucas. All I need from you is to be a better version of yourself, and finally answer my why question. Can you do that for me?” I finished saying in between my own tears and he was silently crying too he hugged me then said,

“Yes I will Brielle, thank you for giving me another chance. I am so sorry for been a foolish friend, actually my why reason is a very lame one but I will still tell you. I was jealous maybe, because even if you don't know it and you thought my brother hated you, indeed he doesn't, instead it's the opposite way round. One thing I am sure about my brother is if he loves something, he shows it in the meanest way, so yeah his not normal." He chuckled and continued,

"I was the only one that saw through him, then Damian did I think. I knew eventually the universe will get you guys together, so before then I was just been selfish to want to have you before he did and peer group influences, people I hangout with are not good friends and now I realized it, we always do stupid bets and I never regretted having to do one till your case. Please forgive me and I promise I will do better. I am so sorry once again."

By the time he was done, his tears didn't stop me from giving him a slap and everyone looked stunned, even me. He rubbed his cheeks and he knew he deserved it.

"Lucas." I called his name when he was about leaving the bed. then I opened my arms to give him a big hug, he looked at me like am I okay?
I then, said "Come, I want to give you a big bear hug because you need one, and as your ex best friend I deserve to give you one. I slapped you because I have been wanted to do that I guess, and I can't fully forgive you without giving you one. Be lucky it's isn't a punch." I gave him a grin and he laughed. I then gave him the hug I know he needs.

"Hope you have settle your differences with Diana?"

"Yes dear we have. Indeed you have a big heart and I am glad my nuts of a brother have realized what he is missing in his life.”
I broke the hug and laughed at what he said last and wiped my tears, “Get of me" and I literally pushed him away from me and turn to face Logan.

"Now back to you young man." I said to Logan and he looked scared of what  I was going to say to him.

My tongue got tied because I didn’t know where to start from and his face looked tensed, So instead of talking I did something that shocked all of us including me. I lean in and kissed him and he kissed me back for a few minute, and I hugged him afterwards smiling.

Logan kissed the top of my head and I broke from the hug and sat straight looking into his eyes. “I won’t be the one to apologise young man. Because you did me alot of wrong in my whole life and I can’t forgive you for that, so what I decided is to be with you and make sure I make your life a living hell with alot of pranks you won’t see it coming.” I said grinning but with tears in my eyes.

And he chuckled, “No problem sassy pants I will always be at your service. So basically you have agreed to become my girlfriend huh!.” He said with a half smile.

“You know Logan might be an asshole but deep down I see love in his eyes. He is just showing you in the best way he knows how to get your attention....Brielle when he finally realizes what he has in front of him and when you finally realise your love for him too please don’t waste it but make sure you teach him a lesson.” 

Damian’s word kept repeating in my head and I said to him.

“That’s what Didi wants.” I said with a sad smile, “But under two condition.”

I said and he froze waiting to hear what I was about to say and I gave him a wicked grin saying, “One get me star stickers. This room looks doll and I hate starring at this empty ceiling.” I said making a face and everyone bust into a fist of laughter, “Secondly for any little tiny reason please don’t stop writing peoms for me.” I said giving him my best puppy face and he smiled.

“Come here.” Logan took me into his arms, “I promise I won’t. Finally someone got a new phone atleast it would save me the stress of passing my message. Once again I am sorry for everything sassy pants.” I hit his chest for calling me that and we all laughed.

Diana gave me a thumbs up.
And that was how the night was spent the four of us relieving memories and settling our differences over the bowl of cookies Logan’s Mom brought with a glass of milk.

Before I slept we had a me time with Diana before she went to her own room, Damian might be gone but I am grateful for still having her. And then Didi’s words just came in again like a flash.

“Little one I love you so much and I will always be proud of you. Just know I am always with you and hold Diana tight you guys should not let go off each other." 

And I smiled brushing off a little tear that threatened to fall from my eyes. Before I finally slept I got Maya and Sam's number from my sister and created a group chat for us where I gist them about everything that happened tonight and they where eager for morning to reach so they would come and bombard me with more questions.

I finally felt light talking to Logan and Lucas and I hope where ever you are Didi I hope you are proud of me.
