"Let me drink my tea in peace I am partly Christian," I said sipping my tea more as it had called down a little. "Oh my gosh, this tastes amazing," I complimented immediately feeling the warmth go down my throat and through my body, melting my taste buds.

"What can I say, I'm a man of many talents," He smiled at me.

"You have a nice smile," I said to him admiring it. "Sorry if I've already told you that before. I'm not in control of my mouth around you,"

"No last time it was my eyes, you know these compliments will stay with me," He said smiling.

"Good now you will think of me every once in a while," I said taking another sip of my tea.

"Angel trust me, I don't need your compliments to think about you, sometimes I wish you would leave my mind." He said looking into my eyes.

"Is that a confession?" I asked slightly taken back.

"Not right now, I like you but I think you should focus on you for a while. You have a lot going on at the moment just know I will be here for you," He said giving me a kiss on the forehead.

"So yeah, it was a confession," I smiled feeling my heartbeat at a high speed. 

"Yes it was but don't reply now I want you to think about it for a while," He smiled and I realised he was talking about Michael, he was thinking of the possibility of me liking him again.

There were few moments of silence, "I can still come to your room right?"

"Yeah but all I want to do is lay down and stay warm," He replied. I finished my tea and nodded. He held my hand and guided me up the stairs. We reached his room and our hands remained intertwined as we sat on the bed.

He lifted out hands, "As much as I am enjoying this, I need both hands to get the blankets and the remote."

"But, I'm warm though," I protested with a pout.

I hate the warmth leaving my hands it reminds me of my mom letting go...

"Trust me you'll be warmer in a second." He replied and I let go of his hand and I literally felt the warmth seep out of me. I started at the black screen across the room intertwining my own hands trying not to let my mind go there.

Kurume came back with the largest duvet I had ever seen, I was surprised it even fit in his closet.

"Well, that is..." I was interrupted by a loud loan and Temi moaning Michael's name. Kurume and I exchanged looks it seemed like they were having fun. I let out a laugh and Kurume joined me finding our situation amusing. He sat down next to me and pulled me closer before spreading a blanket on top of us.

"Just thought I would tell you I think of the nasty as a night time activity," I said as Kurume switched on the T.V.

"Thanks, I'll make a mental note," Kurume laughed as I grabbed a pillow placing it in his lap and rested my head.

"You owe me you, fell asleep on me the other day," I said feeling calmness wash over me." Though, I didn't mind anyway."

"You look so peaceful, " Kurume said placing a kiss on my forehead. Butterflies spread through my body and I tried to focus on the movie we were watching.

No-one had ever bothered with these small thing making me feel special and it just amazed me how Kurume treated me like royalty. I found my self looking up at him instead of watching the movie.

"Are you not enjoying the movie?" He asked meeting my gaze.

"I am but I keep getting distracted, "I smiled blowing him a kiss.

He placed a kiss on my head, "Thank you, Angel, you know I haven't had liked many people but you have to be the kindest,"

I sat up and held his hands, "No I think you are confused I am not kind, I am fucked up,"

I hated that he made me calm but loved it at the same time it was driving me crazy...

"We all have our stories, I'll tell you mine when I know the whole truth to it. But though you have had a difficult past, you still have a beautiful heart you just have to get close to see it."

"I like you too a lot and I..." I started and he stopped me.

"Angel I would love to confess properly and have a relationship with you but I feel like you and Micheal need to discuss everything and you have just had a lot revealed to you. I just want to make sure you like me because you like me not because you need comfort..." He then stood up from the bed and went into his wardrobe revelling my backpack. 

"Here I whipped your phone though I was told not to give it back until I whipped all data of the Lions and made sure they had no way to track you and you had no way to contact them." He said handing me my phone.

I smiled brightly, "Thank you," As I went through my phone my face dropped my photos were all gone I was sure I could recover them but I had pictures of my whole life on here. 

My face must've dropped slightly as Kurume wrapped his arms around me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I had over 4000 pictures I started," Kurume took out his phone and forwarded all the pictures to me. I turned around wrapping my arms around his neck.

When we heard a cough and a smirking Temi was stood by the door, "I never had a reason to knock before I will from now on, dinner time."

"Coming," Kurume replied still not letting go. I turned around and looked at my photos and saw he had grouped them. Pictures of me and Monica, me and my mom, group pictures and me and Michael. My face dropped seeing about 600 were pictures containing Michael and thinking what had he put himself through that while grouping them.

"How did you?" I asked knowing he could see over my shoulder anyway.

"Memories mean a lot even the bad ones are better than none at all." He said to me squeezing me slightly.

Dinner was another level of awkward Temi and I all through exchanged sarcastic remarks at each other. Meanwhile, Kurume and Michael were giving each other looks that could kill making it awkward as hell. Then Monica and Mark were in the middle of it all and Liam but laughing making it worse.

"Liam shut up!" I exclaimed on the top of my lungs finding his laughter annoying as hell it reminded me if a hyena.

"Who pissed you off?" Temi asked with a smile swirling her spaghetti. I hadn't touched my food and she hadn't helped at all, I was too pissed to eat.

"You did Temi, you did," I replied staring at my fork.

"What wouldn't you act like if you were in my shoes, you nearly shot me." I took my gun from my hoodie.

"Here shoot me then, if that's what needs to be done." I said looking her in her eyes, "I am sorry that I got pissed at you for being heartless about my mother's death but look at it from my shoes," I said throwing her phrase back at her.

Everyone went dead silent looking at Temi then me. She picked up the gun and slide it back to me, "I get it okay I'm sorry too, I don't know why I was so horrible."

"It's fine you wouldn't be the first to tell me I deserved it," I stood up from my chair calmly, taking my barely touched food and bringing it to the kitchen. I saw that if I had touched it, it wasn't at all noticeable so I put all the spaghetti into a lunch box for me to eat if I got hungry. My eyes wear stinging with tears as of late everything seemed to get to me. I couldn't seem to get everything under control. In a rush, I washed my plate and put it to the side. 

"Thank you for the food," I said before walking upstairs. I entered Monica's room and sat on the bean bag on the floor listening to music on my phone. Heartbroken I looked through pictures of me, Nia and Annaya. They made me feel a mix of emotions. I stared at one picture in particular when we had all gone out for the first time.

I remember the day as though it was yesterday but it was all a lie...

I stopped looking at picture realising it was clearly making me really upset. I closed my eyes, for a second, holding back tears. Placing a blanket on top of me, I did something which always calms me down, I wrote what my heart was feeling.

Breath in breathe out I gotta keep breathing,

I find it difficult because everyone seems to be deceiving

I don't know how to feel,

I don't know who is the real deal!

Every step that I take,

I keep praying my heart won't break.

I have so many words I want to say,

Yet, I just keep it inside with every passing day.

The people I trust,

End up being the people who hurt me too much.

So when I need someone,

Instead of asking I bite my tongue.

Because in the end, I would rather be the bitch holding the gun!

Tears were running down my face I just couldn't believe Nia and Annaya had done this to me they were like family they always had my back. Refusing to think about it anymore, slowly falling apart, I closed my notebook and closed my eyes letting the music drown me.

Friday 8th November

I woke up with a strong arm wrapped around me, I turned to see Kurume...
