Reunited

The door bell rung and I responded immediately. After all, it has been 2 long weeks. Kiara was probably the only person close to being a " Best Friend". Fortunately or Unfortunately I have never fully understood that term. Its...mostly unfortunate.

I opened the door to find a woman in her 20's, with dark brown hair and ocean blue eyes and a small trinket clinging onto the tip of her nose. She had stretched out a chocolate Chip Muffin, right in front of me. My cheeks turned involuntarily cherry red as I accepted the muffin. I couldn't help but grin like a cheshire cat. Kiara didn't wait for any consent as she pulled me into a tight warm hug.

" Careful now, Your gonna crush the muffin" She cackled as she quickly shot back. " Good to know you care more about that stupid cake than me." " HEY! It's not a cake!!" Ki walked over to the bed and shrugged her shoulders as she sat down. " Who cares" I quickly bit into the bread without hesitation. Oh how I loved a good muffin.

Kiara sat with her legs crossed and watched me eat her treat. I gave her a few looks before reluctantly offering a bite. " Oh no no its only for you. I already had mine on the way" After finishing the snack, I went over and sat next to my friend who was now looking down and fiddling with her toes. Her outfit looked so badass. More like the woman who carries the outfit was a badass. She was always into goth since I've met her. Her hair, her tattoos, her black-on-black look is a whole mood. Not to mention her stunning chokers and accessories along with a dark smokey eye. She sure knew how to dress and also carry herself in confidence. Perhaps that is the most attractive element about her that stuck out to me the most.

Inadvertently, I found myself staring at her. Kiara snapped her fingers to my face. " What?"

" Umm...nothing. Just appreciating that choker. " I said trying to hide my embarrassment. She smiled wide and held her head high with twinkling eyes, " Thank You"

Ki adjusted her seating and turned to face me directly. She reached for my hands and gripped them tight. " Look Ayi, I know I messed up. I shouldn't have stood you up and...also give you the attitude. I was just...so messed up that day. Its my fault. I shouldn't have taken it out on you. " Her eyes turned misty as she struggled to talk. " The best part though..." she paused, sniffling under her breath "The best part is that...he dumped my ass and you were mad at me. " Tears streamed down her cheeks as she wiped her snot on her sleeve. " I know I'm tough to deal with. I'm just...I'm trying so hard...I really am" It was very clear how heartbroken she was, right now, bawling her eyes out. 'Fights make relationships more stronger'. I leaned in next to her and lay my head on her shoulder. She rested her chaotic mind on mine and together we consoled each other's aching hearts.
