'Girl. You got me hooked on [laughs]. What do you mean the story gets unexpectedly crazy?’~ Rebekah
"Girl relax [laughs] you are even grabbing your pillow and sitting up and everything" ~Leyla.
[laughing together]
"So I got to Canada still feeling numb and everything. I was did avoiding accepting my families passing. Plus I was even more hurt at the fact that I broke up with my first ever love."
'Also Elijah was depressed he didn't get out of bed he just laid the all day and night blaming himself and drinking himself self to sleep. And he went on like this for a whole year.'
"Well I was kinda the opposite. So within the first four months of me being there. I was still 17. It was around November right?"
'Yeah'
"Yep so, my dad gave me an option its either I went to therapy so I could deal with everything and accept everything and possibly move on. Or I uhmm... Wait I forgot the other option. "
[laughing together]
"Anyways [laughs] but what I do remember it that I didn't chose any of his options but instead asked him to join his operation. He kept refusing so I had I had to force him and so I told him its that or he'll never see me again. And so he gave me one of his best bodyguards. Actually his best bodyguard to go on missions with me and make sure I'm 'safe'."
'What the bodyguards name [smiles]'
"His name Is Noah"
'Wait is he still your bodyguard or?'
"Girl I'll get to that later. Let's first get through everything [laughs]. You know we are not even half way through yet"

[laughs] Well I guess that's how I feel. I just went off topic [laughing together] . Where was I?"
'You said you were going through a whole depressing coping spiral for four months. What happened after the four months?'
