Everywhere in my house was eerily silent, and it was as if there was no one inside. But the whole family was present.

It wasn't a comfortable kind of silence. Not even close.

Today was my grandma's 2nd remembrance ceremony, and we just left her graveside, after my mother couldn't keep calm anymore.

I won't blame my mom for breaking down the way she did. Grandma was the best person on the whole world.

She was so understanding, and warm, and groovy, and even more up-to-date than any of her children. And she gave the best advice. But diabetes had another plan and snatched her away from us on a cold, dark Tuesday.

"Hey girl. How did it go?" Amaya's voice calmly asked from over the phone.

"Mom broke down. It was so bad. But the rest of us are okay. I think" I sighed deeply, plopping down on my bed.

"Aw. I'm so sorry. I hope she's okay now"

"Well if you call crying and refusing to talk to anyone 'Okay' , then yeah. My mom is fantastic"

"I really wanna come over right now. But I can't. This is so annoying" she huffed. I imagined her twirling her long brown hair round her hand, and then pulling on it.

Amaya's mother was having a baby. So she had to stay home and take care of the little cousins, while her aunts and uncles stayed at the hospital.

"It's okay. You're talking to me. That's enough"

"Awwwwww. Why do you have to be so- MANNY! WILL YOU GET DOWN FROM THAT PLACE?!!!"

I winced as she screamed in my ears. This girl wants me to go deaf.

"What did Manny do this time?" I giggled, hooking my phone in between my chin and my shoulder, and struggling to put my hair in a messy bun, while listening to her yell at the 6 year old boy.

"Don't mind the silly bean! He's trying to climb the fridge. And calling it a mountain. His head is a mountain" she spat angrily, muttering something in Spanish under her breath.

"Calm down best friend. Don't kill the children" I laughed, panting from my little workout of pulling my hair in a decent bun. Or trying to achieve a bun.

"I'll try not to- OH MY GOD MIGUEL! STOP BITING MARLEY'S THROAT! WHAT ARE YOU, A CANNIBAL??"

"Or these children are going to kill you instead. What's Manny doing to Miguel this time?"

Heavy footsteps, shrieks of probably scared toddlers, and then little patters of feet were heard, and then rapid sputters of telling off in Spanish.

It took about 7 minutes. Then there was utter silence.

"Is all well?" I tried hiding my laughter from a probably mad Amaya.

"I threatened to break his neck, then I went ahead to snap a carrot in half. So they're gonna lay low for the next few minutes" she sighed, the sound of her jumping on either a bed or couch was heard.

"Minutes? That's interesting"

"I'd appreciate even two seconds of silence. Instead of two kids trying to eat their throats out. And that's just two out of 7 of them. I'm so tired already. Ugh"

I smiled to myself. "All this talk about people biting their throats is making me remember the time I freaked out about Jungkook having that bruise on his neck"

"Oh my gosh! I remember that time. When you got all dramatic and emotional, saying you wanted to stop loving him" then she let out a loud, annoying laugh, making me blush in embarrassment and pout in mock anger.

"Oh hush, you fool. It was only for some time. I stopped when I found out it was just a burn. But you have no idea how relieved I was though"

"Oh I do. You wore ribbons in your hair because you felt 'gracefully happy'"

"SHUT UP YOU STUPID GIRL!" I screamed, while she laughed harder at me.

It didn't take so long until I was laughing along with her.

"I'm so telling him about this when you both get married though" we had both calmed down from our little high of laughter.

"I think I've beat you to that already. I wrote something about it to him"

"Oh yeah! Can you read it to me?"

"Of course. Who else would I read it with?"

"Mr J-"

"Shut your trap and don't mention anything about that"

"Hehe. I have a better idea" she gasped as soon as I picked up the back book that held in my feelings about a particular boy.

"Which is?"

"Why don't I video call you? Minnie is awake"

I squealed as she mentioned the youngest of all her cousins. And the cutest. And the least annoying.

"Oh my gosh she is? Can I hear her tiny little baby voice?"

"I will video call you in 5. You'll see her and hear her voice. Okay?"

Pursing my lips, I nodded, forgetting she couldn't see me.

"You just nodded, didn't you?"

"Yeah" I admitted, laughing nervously.

"Fool" and with that she hung up.

I used the said 5 minutes to take my dress off, put my hair in a decent bun, put my Ipad off flight mode, and settle down on my bed.

Her face showed up on the screen that she was skype-calling me, and I swiped to the right.

The first thing I saw, was a drooling little baby, with numerous hair clips on her hair, and a toothless smile in her face.

"Minnie" I laughed, making the child giggle and mutter incoherent words.

"Where's your stupid cousin?"

"Right here. And she's not stupid" Amaya's face popped up directly in front of the screen, making me move back a little.

"Well hello miss Maya"

"Please go straight to the point"

"Allow me to talk with Minnie a little"

As if on her cousin's side, the little one let out a small sound of protest.

"See? She agrees with me"

"I hate you"

"I love you too"

I am so angry right now.

It's been all over the Internet, everywhere, that you have a bruise on your neck. Some called it a hickey. I don't know what to believe. I feel so hurt.

But I don't know why I feel hurt. I don't know why everything you do affects me, no matter how small.

I don't even know why I have feelings for you. I mean you're probably never gonna meet me. Or even if you do, we're probably never gonna talk. But I'm here, getting jealous over you.

Amaya says it probably was Taehyung or Hosoek, getting you into some silly accident, but I don't believe her. It can't be. Jimin is more likely to do that to you.

I'm going to cry some more now. I'll write later.

Hey children. Here's something a little sad for you to enjoy.

And I was writing exams too.

But do not fear, because there will be random weekday updates, so you all better love me!

Tell me what you think about this book. Please I really wanna know how you're all taking this book. Is it bad, is it good, I don't know. You tell me.

Oh, and how many of you would enter if I hosted a contest?

Love you all so much♡
