The weekened had been a blur. Ben, Amy, Adrian and Grace had spent the whole weekend together and Ben was had been sleeping soundly when he heard a loud thud. He came running out of his bedroom, to find Adrian in the kitchen.
"What are you doing up so late?" Ben asked sleepily.
"Did I wake you? I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd have some warm milk, that always helps." Adrian said.
"Why cant you sleep? Is something bother you?" Ben asked, taking a seat by the kitchen counter.
"It's nothing, go back to sleep." Adrian said.
"I'm up, talk to me." Ben said.
"Nothing, it's just that I've been feeling really lonely lately." Adrian said.
"Why? You have me and Amy and grace." Ben said.
"I know but I don't know.." Adrian said.
"What is it?" Ben asked.
"I feel sad and alone, I don't know the last time I was genuinely happy. I thought I was happy with omar but looking back, I don't even think I was happy with him." Adrian said.
"Is this about Mercy?" Ben asked.
"No, I mean I miss her, I always will. But I just feel like no one really understands" Adrian said.
"Understands what?" Ben asked.
"Me." Adrian said.
"I'm sorry, Adrian" Ben said.
"You have nothing to be sorry about, you're the one person who comes closest to understanding me. Besides, I should be the one apologizing." Adrian said.
"For what?" Ben asked.
"Ruining your moment with Amy. You guys were on a date weren't you?" Adrian asked.
"I don't know, she said it's a date but I tried not to overthink it but she's just been pulling away from me ever since." Ben said sadly.
"I'm sorry Benny. I'm sure she'll come around, she probably just needs some time to think everything through." Adrian said.
"I hope so. Thanks Adrian, I didn't realize how much I missed you, until now." Ben said.
"I missed you too, Benny." Adrian said.
Adrian eventually decided to try sleeping and so did Ben.
"Morning." Adrian said smiling as she walked into the kitchen.
"Morning." Ben said.
"I'm starving, do you want to go out for breakfast?" Adrian asked.
"Sure." Ben said.
"Let's call Amy too, we haven't seen her for a while." Adrian said.
"Alright." Ben said, opening the door to let Adrian out and then locking the door behind him as he left. Ben and Adrian went by Amy's apartment. They could hear people talking and laughing. Adrian knocked on the door. Amy opened the door, revealing Ricky and John, who were sitting on her couch.
