Amirah's POV
My alarm on my phone went off indicating that it was 5 o'clock. I always wake up this early so that I can get a good work out in shower and still be on time for school. I put on my running clothes which was a black and white Nike sweat suit. It was Monday. Which meant marathon Monday. At my house when you train you have to have a reason something to motivate you. My on Monday is a marathon. Hints the name marathon Monday.
Mom usually runs with me, put she wasn't up this time so I went ahead and left the house. I ran 3 blocks then something covered my face. I start to kick and scream. I eventually was let go. I go the bag off my face and ran home. It wasn't even 5:30 I got in the shower and went back to sleep I didn't know what else to do, so that's what I did.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My alarm for 6 went off so I had to get up. I get up and go into my closest. I have a walking closet so it was fun to figure out what to wear.
"Good morning madam. What would you like to wear today?" That was Sue my closet voice. My uncle installed it about a month ago when he came to get me so my cousins and I could hang out. It was an early birthday present from him, and it's very useful.
"Um what's the weather look like today?"
"It will be 80° as the lowest and 95° as the highest. It will feel like 87° all day though. With wind coming in from the west." It's suppose to be February.
"Thank you Sue." I walk farther into my closet. I pick out a pair of black jeans a red crop that says love on it and my black high top converse. I walk out my closest and grabbed a red tank top and got dress. My phone starts to ring That's My Best Friend by Tokyo Vanity meaning May was calling me. I decided to answer it.
"Hello." I decided I wasn't going to be sour and let her explain herself.
"Hi." It was silent for a second then she spoke.
"Amirah I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Well it's a little to late for that. What do you want anyway?" Maybe just a little sour.
"Can I take you to school so we can talk?"
"No. I'll talk to you after cheer practice today."
"Okay." I heard a click meaning she hung up.
I look at my phone for a second then throw it on the bed. I walk over to my vanity and start doing my hair and makeup. Soon my phone rings. I look at the contact it was Mark, or as he put himself in my phone as mister Almost 😏😏.
"Hello?"
"Hi beautiful. Be ready in 15 minutes I'm coming to get you so I can take you to breakfast and school."
"Ok."
I hung up and look at myself on the mirror of my vanity. A felt like today was going to be a good day, and nothing stood in my way of anything.
Soon a horn honked in my yard I kissed my mom and walked out, and got into Marks car.
"Good morning." Mark looked confused as I got in the car.
"Um good morning. What's got you in such a great mood?"
"Honestly I have no idea. After you called I felt like nothing could tear me down."
"Well I'm glad I give you that feeling." I grabbed his hand and intertwined it with mine.
"So where are you taking me for breakfast?"
"It's just going to be a pick up. I was thinking McDonald's?"
"Ok that's good." So he pulls out my driveway and never lets go of my hand. We listened to the music on his phone using his auxiliary cord. We pull into the drive thru and he orders 2 sausage biscuits.
"So I was wondering if you'd like to hang out later on." I laugh at the way he asked me that.
"Mark you made it seem like you were proposing. I'd like to, but I told May I'd talk to her after cheer practice was over."
"Ok well will you call me later?"
"Of course." We got our sausage biscuits and drove to school. The day went by pretty fast, and so did cheer practice.
"Um. Hey Amirah." I turned around to see May.
"Ok so explain yourself."
"Amirah I swear I didn't do anything wrong."
"Then why did you threaten to basically take that boys manhood away?"
"When we were at the mall that text I got was from and unknown number. It said that they were going to find you and hurt you." I didn't believe her. Well I didn't want to. "Amirah you know I'd do anything to protect you, our moms, your brother. Anyone who means anything to us. Please I need my best friend back." I took a second to think about it. May and I have been through everything together, and I knew she wants lying to me.
"Ok. Just promise you'll tell me everything for now on."
"Ok deal."
We get into May's car and right away she starts asking.
"So how's everything going with you and Mark?"
"What do you mean?"
"He put I had a great day with her on Snapchat, and considering the fact he would've told me if he had a girlfriend I assumed it was you he was talking about."I start to blush and smile really hard. "So he was talking about you?"
"Yes he was. We hung out all day yesterday and he comfort my Saturday after I ran away."
"Where'd you run to?"
"The cabin." It was silent in the car. She doesn't like to go there because it reminded her to much of our dad. Last time she went was because we were rearranging some things. We wanted it to be more our style then just an old cabin in the woods.
"He said that's where you'd be. I denied it because I didn't want to go out there,so I look for you other places." Once again it was silent in the car. At first I didn't know where she was going then I realized it was her dad's gave that's where we were going.
"Are you sure you want to be here?"
"Yes. I'm positive. I've been coming alot. I still feel connected with him even though he's not here."
"Me too." I look out the window and we pull into the cemetery.
We stayed there for a while. We went and saw some other people in our families that have passes away. We found out we both had a great uncle name Rick Jason, but the only difference was the last names.
We left the cemetery and as soon as we got in the car Mark called me. I put him on the Bluetooth speaker on the car.
"Hey Amirah."
"Hey Mr. Almost." May looks at me confused and Mark just laughs."Say hey to May."
"Hey May."
"Hey Mark."
"Well I was going to come get you, but your still with May so I'll go."
"No why don't all of us hang out."
"That sounds like fun. You ok with that Mark?"
"Yeah. Meet me at my house."
"Ok be there soon." I hang up the phone then look at May.
"Mr.Almost?"I laugh and we head to his house.

Mark's POV
So I'm down stairs sitting on the couch playing on the Wii. Soon there was an knock on the door. I got up to open it. It was May and Amirah.
"Come in." I look at Amirah and she was beautiful.
"Wow your house is huge and beautiful." She looks around awed unlike May. May just walks up stair assuming to the guest room. "Where'd she go?"
"Honestly I have no clue, but where every it is she knows where it is."
"Okay." I look into her eyes. I wanted to kiss her so bad, but I couldn't. Not till she was ready or at least I thought she was.
"So what are we going to do?"
"I was thinking I'd take you guys to this beautiful place I found a while ago, and we could take some pictures."
"Ok. I'm going to go get May."
"Let me do it I don't want you to get lost. It is a really big house."
"Okay." I kissed her cheek and I was off.
I run up stairs to find May in the guest room. It was always more her room then a guest room. She was really the only person that I had come over. She was sitting on the bed looking at an old photos album. It was filled with pictures of the two of us.
"Hey May, so Amirah and I-" I was cut off.
"Really Mark. What happened to us?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You've been home for months and you didn't come see me. You didn't even tell me you were back. If you want space I would've understand. I thought we were best friends."
"May look I didn't want anyone to know I was back."
"Why?!?!?"
"I don't have to answer that. Now you can either shut up about this and come with me and Amirah where it is we're going, or you can go home."
"I'll take the second option." She storms out and I hear a slam at the door followed by feet running up the stairs.
"Um what's wrong with her?"
"Just don't worry about it beautiful let's go." I grab her hand and we walk to my car. I let her in on her side and I got in. All I could do was think about May.
We'd been driving in complete silence for a good hour an a half before Amirah said anything.
"Mr.Almost?" I crack a smirk then look at her out the corner of my eye.
"Yes beautiful?"
"1)Where are we going, and 2) what's wrong. Don't lie either." I looked at her taking my eyes off the road for a second. Fear filled her face.
I took a deep breath and grip the wheel tight. "We are going to a water fall." It went silent for a second. I didn't know how to tell her."Look when I went to talk to May she was looking at this picture of us when we were little."
"Okay. She does that all the time when we are at my house."
"No it's not the same. She and I have known each other since birth. When she found out I was home it made her very happy, but when she found out I had been home for months it mad her mad."
"Why didn't you tell her you were home? If you are supposed to be like her brother why didn't you tell her?"
"I didn't want anyone to know I was back."
"Why?"
"I was trying to move back in with my dad. I love it here, but back there is where my life was my friends my ex girlfriend. She was the love of my life. She was my everything." I look at Amirah and she didn't look happy. I grab her hand and she looks out the window. I felt awful. I shouldn't be mentioning that to her well not that part. "Babe look I love being here with you trust me."I took her hand and kiss her hand, but she didn't move an inch. She just stared out the window with a blank look on her face. I felt terrible.
______________________________________________________________________________
Hey you guys hope you liked that chapter. I had to end it because I felt like I was rambling.
So lets just recap for a second. May and Amirah are back as besties. Amirah's dad is back, and I'm really excited on how I'm going to do that.
Mark is hiding why he didn't tell May he was home from her, but told Amirah. Let's just say he trust Amirah.
