I'm currently writing in my notebook, it sort of became a coping mechanism and it does actually make me feel better at the end, I feel as if a weight has been lifted off of me.

I started going to therapy and although at first, I was scared and embarrassed to speak up I slowly began to feel comfortable. I put my notebook down and put my shoes on to go outside and get a little but of fresh air. Nikolai has been acting a little off and I can't help but overthink that I'm doing something wrong, that I somehow messed everything up again. I'm trying to give him space and hopefully, he'll come around, but as for now, I hope I didn't do anything.

What if he thinks I'm annoying
Or clingy gosh Delilah why are we so bad at relationships.

I know if I start to overthink everything I'll end up ugly crying, I think I cried enough for the entire year, I'm sick of it. I'm heading to buy baskets for friends giving Aleksandr and Cynthia would love them.

I enter a store and buy them matching mugs and other products for both of them and leave the store. For Aleksandr, I bought him some slippers and a blanket along with his favorite snacks and decorated it with cute little pumpkin and turkey decorations.

Cynthia's basket is decorated the same, I got her face masks, new nail polishes, her favorite drinks, and snacks, along with a blanket and some small makeup products. I smile at the finished product I'm so excited to give it to them. If my younger self saw me she would be crying with happiness we finally have friends we can buy gifts for.

Nikolai's gift was my favorite it was a photo album with my favorite pictures of us. And On each of the pictures, I wrote little messages on the back.

I grabbed a book from my bookshelves and sat on my little window bench. I find comfort in being alone sometimes, loneliness isn't all bad sometimes we need a break from people. I was about to finish the book when I heard little tapping at my window. I open the curtains a little and see Nikolai standing there.

I open the window and look down at him. "You know you could have just knocked on the front door?" He looks confused and then walks away. What the heck is wrong with him. I head downstairs and open the door for him. "Are you okay?" He shakes his head and hugs me tight.

"Babe your burning up, let's get you upstairs yea?" He sways a little and I help him up the stairs and into my room. I lay him down and he snuggles up to my stuffed bear. Cute.

AN: I'm back sorry I've been a little busy and unmotivated. I hope you liked it. More chapters coming soon.
