We were all sitting in 'our room'. The day was ending, and we had about one hour before going.
"This was one heck of a day." Riven said as he leaned against a wall.
"Tell me about it. First I get together with this guy..." Angela said while pointing at Tyler who was grinning.
"... then I get an offer for a job right here..." I added.
"Then we finally open those doors on the 3rd floor..." Flora said and smiled.
"And now this 'goodbye party' for Layla." Riven ended. Then we were all quiet for a small period of time.
"Well, at least we exchanged our phone numbers. Unlike the last time." Tyler said and we laughed.
"Hey, Helia, dude, one question." Brandon said and I looked at him.
"Yes?"
"Since you will now work here, where will you live?" I froze. Dammit Helia! What a great idea to accept a job in a city where you don't have a place to live in. Amazing.
"With me." Flora said and smiled to me. ... Did she just... um... offered me to move in? Are we... um.. like.. a thing?
"Are you sure?" I asked and she nodded.
"Damn Flora, good luck with with him." Angela said and I was kinda confused.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked kinda angrily.
"Dude. I spent like 3 months living in a room next to yours. I've seen your room. And I don't know was it your mom who made the mess, but... It was messier then my hair in my Emo faze."
"I blame it all on mom." I said as I looked at Flora an she started laughing.
"How is she anyway? If I recall, she once said she would be happy to have me as a daughter instead of you as a son." Angela added while laughing. I... I remembered everything. All the memories of my mother- I pushed them away. Somewhere safe and sound in my head where I would never look again.
"She, um... she died." I said and everyone who had a smile on dropped it.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry man." she said and hugged me.
"It's alright, I'll survive." I said and sighed. It's not that I felt bad living alone, it's just that... I missed her. Even tho she sent me in MPS, and decided never to speak to me again... I... I missed her.
"Let's change up the subject before our lady here starts crying again." Riven said while forcing a smile at me.
"You cried too. Just a friendly reminder." Stella said and giggled. We continued talking, and soon, we all went to our homes. I kissed Flora good night before I got in my car and drove back to my apartment. I took my phone out as I was locking the doors on my way in. 17 missed calls from Michelle. Damn. I called her and she picked up almost right away.
"Helia, where the heck are you?!" she yelled as I moved the phone a little further away from my ear.
"Sorry, I had an important meeting today." What I meant was, I checked in my ex mental hospital and cried like a baby, but yeah, I'm so qualified to be a shrink.
"With who, if I may ask?" she sounded angry.
"The crazy cat lady, she requested a home visit."
"Ohh, alright. Anyways, are you coming back tomorrow? We were all worried for you when you didn't answer your phone."
"Well the sound was off. And, actually, no. I'm going to call boss right now and tell him I quit." she gasped. She was acting so weird.
"You cant do that!" she yelled at me. ... Um, pretty sure I can.
"Why? What's the matter?"
"Helia, I never told you this, but I'm in love with you!" I.. um... kinda... um...
"Um..." I said and hung up. I was bad with situations like that. What was I supposed to say, I don't like you and I have a girlfriend and you are the most annoying person from work?! No. She called me the whole night and I couldn't sleep. After I turned off the sound on my mobile, she called on the house phone. Again and again and again and again. I couldn't sleep so I got up and ate some take out I had in the fridge. I called up my mothers ex lawyer. I had an idea on my mind.
"Who the hell is this, it's 3am?!" he yelled and I sighed.
"Sorry, It was really important. This is Helia."
"Oh, the kid with the... and the... yeah I remember you. What is it?"
"Well, my old house. Since my mother died, does it now belong to me, or...?"
"Yeah, you can live in it as long as you like. Now I need to go I'm so sle..." he hung up. I sent Flora a text telling her she won't need to live with me after all. 'I was kinda looking forward to that, but that's alright, as long as I can see you every day. Now I really need to sleep. 'Night fist.' she sent as a text and soon, I fell asleep too...
