In this chapter my friend Lurvy-chan are in it. She is also known as idioticwriter. I suggest you check her out ^^ She is really great.

Enough with the small talk! LET'S GO TO THE STORY!


"It is nice to meet you again, Ms. Mary." I smiled and shakes her wrinkled hand.

"Nice to meet you too, Sky." She smiled at us, "but just call me Mary." Her old skin making her look like a cute grandmother.

"You know each other?" Mom asked confused.

"I meet Sky one evening close to where you lived before. It was some years ago, and I was on vacation." Mary rambled. I pulled the cap down over my eyes. Not wanting to meet my Mom's eyes.

"Like I said. One evening I was taking a stroll to get some fresh air and out of no where a man ran up to me and grabbed my purse. I yelled thief and Sky was jogging and come to my rescue. She was amazing, flipping the heavier man to the ground. I couldn't thank her enough and she was so polite and called me mam and lady. If she didn't have long hair I would think she was the most polite gentleman in this century."

"Please stop Mary. You are making me embarrassed." I muttered and pleaded with my eyes.

"But I have to praise my savior."

"Please."

"Fine." she laughed and waved at us to follow. I didn't dare to look at my mom. I had promised her that I would not fight on the streets. I promised that I would let the police take care of things like that.

"But I'm surprised that you are the seller of this apartment." I tried to hold the conversation flowing. "I knew you were from Florida but this?"

"Well, I'm surprised that you all are in Florida." She answered. "But maybe this was fate." She laughed.

"I'm sorry Mary. But that is something I don't trust. Fate can't decide what I am going to do in my life." I laughed halfhearted.

"Maybe you are right, maybe you are not." She shrugged and opened the apartment. The apartment was pretty neat. The space was big and clean.

"Wow!" Lill gaped as she ran inside.

"So pretty" Mom whispered behind us.

"I'm sorry if there are any mess since I haven't been here the past week. I live with my family now. I am too old to live on my own anymore."

"What are you saying? You look like you haven't passed 60 yet." I looked confused at her.

"You are too kind Sky." She laughed "I'm in the middle of my 70. My son wanted me to come and live with them. I'm happy actually, my grandchild is 2 years old already and she is the cutest thing in the world."

"Why haven't I heard of any grandchild?" I smiled at her "I'm happy for you."

Mary smiled and turned to Mom.

"I have to say that you have done an stunning job in raising your children. They are two beautiful and polite kids."

Mom blushed and smiled warmly at her. "Thank you so much. It means a lot."

"I'm serious. I have seen and heard many kids this days and no one is close to Sky here. Well, it was one boy down the street, or should I call him a man? He was a little older then you."

"You are making me blush" I laughed and hugged her.

She was like the grandmother I never had.

"Sky! Mom! Look what I found!" Lill yelled as she ran down the hallway with something raised above her head.

"What is it Lill?" I opened my hand to take what she had.

"Look! Look!" She placed it in my hands. It was a black and white picture in a golden frame. In the picture it was a handsome man in a black suit and a beautiful lady in a wedding dress.

"Beautiful" slipped between my lips. The woman was stunning.

"Where did you find this Lill?"

"It was behind one of the closets. Looks like it got stuck there."

I looked over at Mary to see her eyes being wide as dinner plates. "Is this you Mary?" I asked and gave her the picture.

She nodded weakly and small tears dripped down her face. "I thought I lost it." She whispered. She hugged the picture and then grabbed Lill into a hug. "Thank you my child."

Lill giggled lightly and sang "It was nothing"

"I'm glad you found it. It's the only photo of my husband."

"Is that handsome looking man your husband? You are one lucky girl Mary." I whistled "And I have to say" Smiling I winked at her "you are literally a stunning beauty. I bet you got love confessions everyday."

She clucked "Not everyday. Maybe three days a week."

"Well, it was close." I laughed.

"What about you then Sky? Any love in the air."

I smiled softly "Sorry to burst your bubble, but no. Boys and love is something I don't have interest in."

Mary gasped in shock "How is that possible? You are a natural beauty! You don't even wear makeup."

"I'm pretty yes, but not beautiful. And as for the makeup, it is just bothersome"(it actually is. I don't get the point on wearing it)

"Like I said. A natural beauty. Pretty on both the inside and outside" She giggled.

"I'm not that pretty on the inside, actually the opposite." I muttered under my breath.

"What was that dear?"

"It was nothing important." I smiled at her "I'm just blushing too much on your compliments."


We got back to business. The ad said that it was not included furniture, but Mary was persistent that we kept the stove, refrigerator, the washer and the beds.

"A way to say thank you for the picture and savior and I don't need them anyways." She had smiled at us. I was forever in her dept.

We had gotten the apartment for an even cheaper price too. Mary is the nicest old lady I have ever met, or will ever meet.

It had gone two days since we moved into the apartment. I hadn't spoken properly with Mom about my rescue of Mary. Since it was a promise I had broken I felt guilty as hell.

To compensate, I cleaned our home by myself, took the dishes, washed our clothes, made the food and packed out most of our belongings.

In the evening on the second day. Mom stopped me to do the dishes and ordered me to sit down by our kitchen table.

I shifted under her gaze. I couldn't meet her eyes.

"Sky" She said softly. It was like she had slapped me in the face with a brick. I wanted her to scream and yell at me. Not being kind and talking like I didn't do anything.

"I'm not mad at you. I know that you feel guilty about the promise but that don't mean that you have to become our slave to make it good again."

I felt water building up behind my eyelids. She put her hand on top of my head.

"Honestly. I'm happy you broke the promise." My eyes widened and looked up.

"Seriously?" I whispered, trying really hard not to let my voice to crack.

"Yes. If you didn't help poor Mary, she would be helpless and you did the right thing. You helped when you where needed" She began to laugh "And it looks like karma really does exist. You did a good deed and we was blessed for that."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why… why wont you scream at me? Why wont you yell and say that you are disappointed in me?" The tears was close to slip any moment now. I hated the feeling of weakness that flowed through me.

"Why should I? All people do mistakes." She sighed and smiled at me "You aren't a superhuman. Regardless how much you try. You have been Lill's and mine superwoman all this time. You deserve to be a normal girl."

She got up and walked around the table. She dragged me into a hug and muttered "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry you had to go through all this."

I shake my head and patted her on the back. "You don't have to say sorry. You have always been an amazing mom and I have and will never blame you for anything."

She let me go and dragged me to the door. She put her card and key in my hand and pushed me to the door.

"Wha…?"

"Go out and have fun. Find friends and get to know the neighborhood."

"but…"

"No buts! Go, Now!" She commanded and showed me out the door.

I just stood there with a confused expression, trying to process what the hell happened. I think I stood there for a full 15 minutes. Battling with myself if I should or should not go out. The tap on my shoulder made me jump 5 feet in the air.

"Wow. I'm sorry I scared you" a girly voice said.

I turned and saw a girl with the same brown hair as me. She was more stylish in her choice of clothes and her blue gray eyes. She had a warm smile on her lips.

"No, It's okay" I breathed out and smiled back "I'm Sky and I new here."

"Oh, you are my new neighbor! I live just over the hallway. I'm Lynzi. But friends call me Lurvy"

"Nice name, Lurvy-chan" I grinned at her.

"You are an otaku! Oh my god, I love you already" She laughed. "So what are you doing in the hallway dreaming?"

I pushed my hat up and scratched my head. "Well, you see, I just got thrown out of the apartment with our key and card. I was told to get out to have fun and get to know the area. But the problem is that I don't know how to have fun. And I still can't process what just happened."

She gaped slightly "You don't know how to have fun?! That is serious friend!" She grabbed my arm and began pulling me out of the building while pulling her phone out.

"What are you doing?!" I was quite shocked by her eagerness.

"I'm going to teach you how to have fun! I'm calling some friends over and then we are going to the arcade that's just down the street."

I stopped in my tracks and this made Lurvy-chan almost fall over. "What did you say?" I am convinced that I had swirls going round and round in my eyes.

She turned and hold my hands. "Don't worry Sky! They are the best friends you could ever find. I promise you. and I sure everyone will love you!"

"B-but…"

"No but's! We are going!" She dragged me down the street with her fist in the air. What kind of friend did I just make?

I sighed and hid a smile. She is totally one I will keep. That's for sure.
