"So.. you saw a vision of someone pining you down and abusing you?"

"Yeah.." I put my face into my palms

"Did you see who he was?" He asked

"No.. All I could see was his arms and his hands. He had this ring on, that I saw clearly." I explained "That’s all.."

"Could it be your ex? That fucking bastard.."

I walked to him and sat on his lap, crying into his arms.

"Its going to be okay" He rubbed my back "Nobody could hurt you.. I'm here"

The car stopped as we reached my house. I smiled at Leo

"Thank you so much for this trip, I needed it.."

"Don’t.." He held my hand and kissed it softly "You're going to see me a lot from now on"

"Sounds really good to me.." I moved my hand through his hair "Text me when you get home.. Take care of yourself"

"Will do, Princess" he said and kissed me softly

I walked into the house with my bag and walked to the living room

"Hi mom, I'm back"

"Chanel!" She ran to me and hugged my tightly "I missed you so much sweetheart"

"I did too, mom"

"Let me help you unpack" she smiled as we walked up to my room

"Anything happened while I was away?"

"Not really. Your father always working, Aunt Lorain is still sad about Irene but she's better and I have nothing new." She said "Oh.. Xander asked about you"

"What did you tell him?"

"That you're at a trip with Leo. I was surprised you didnt tell him"

"They don't like each other much.."

"Oh.. Boy fights"

"Mom.. Come on! Not again" I laughed

We unpacked the bags and I changed my clothes ready for bed. I'm supposed to start working at the theatre tomorrow then go to therapy.

I laid down remembering how beautiful the trip was. How I feel for Leo..
How beautiful it was feeling our bodies together..
How warm his skin felt under me..

I slowly closed my eyes with his image engraved into my head.

"Three little birds sitting on the tree
First one fell down and broke his knee
Third one fell but flew with glee" Irene sang.
"Sing with me Channieee!" She said

"Second one screamed as loud as a banshee
When they managed to find each other they flew together and found a diary
They carried it together and hid it in the deep blue sea" I sang

"They were scared that it would fall in the hands of the meany" She sang "Channie... You know why we wrote this song.."

"No, I don't.." I answered

"Try to remember Channie.." She held my hand "I love you Channie.. You're my best friend"

"Popcorn, a bar of snickers and coke please" the boy smiled

I put the popcorn from the machine, got the snicker bar and the coke and put them in front of him "That would be 13.88$, please" I smiled as he gave me the money and walked away

"How's it going?" Eric asked

"Pretty well. This is actually fun" I smiled

"Yeah I know" he smiled back

After finishing my shift I took an Uber to my therapist and currently waiting for the session before mine to end.

"What's up doc?" I greeted as I walked in

"Welcome, Chanel. Come in" he smiled

I rested back and closed my eyes.

"I went on a trip with Leo. He's a very sweet guy. I think I'm slowly falling for him." I started "They were the most beautiful days. Yet nothing lasts forever. I had a vision, it was like I was getting raped. I didn’t see the face but I managed to catch glimpse of a ring he had on. I don’t know what id do with that though. Had a dream about Irene again yesterday. She was singing our song but told me to remember why we wrote it. I don’t know that it had a meaning to it other than just a song. That’s all"

"Alright. So the vision maybe was trying to help you remember something in specific by the ring. The song, maybe it has a deeper meaning to it. Probably has a lot of digits or letters or signs to show you something in specific. Leo, the way you talk about him I think he's a person you could trust not blindly though of course. I'm saying this because you became like my younger sister."

Leo rested on my shoulder as we sat on the couch.

"How was the first day at work?" He asked

"Really fun," I said moving my hand on his hair

"Friendly people?"

"Very." I smiled

A knock on the door cut our conversation so I got up and unlocked it.

"Hey Chan"

"Hey, Xander.." I smiled awkwardly

"You okay? Is there someone here?" He asked

"Um... Yeah" I moved away from the door "That’s Leo, of course, you remember Xander?"

"Yeah of course," Leo said standing up "What's up dude?"

"Not much.." Xander answered then looked at me "You doing okay?"

"Yeah, I’m great.."

"Just wanted to tell you, I found the hospital.."
