This caused Avatia to giggle. She already liked the girl. "Draya, right?"

Draya nodded. "Yupppp. The one and only beautiful Draya."

A thought popped up in Avatia's mind. "You say I'm your best friend, right?"

Draya nodded.

"Please do tell me what exactly happened to me. I keep asking the people here but they just don't want to tell me. Please tell me, Draya." Avatia begged desperately. "I need to know in order to be at peace. I need to know Draya."

Draya's heart broke at the look of desperation in her best friend's eyes. She knew she had to do something. She had to help her best friend. That was why she came. To help out. "I'll tell you, Avatia. I'll tell you everything. But first, tell me, do you stay in  here all day or you have a safe haven? It's so boring I can't believe there's no television or Wi-Fi here."

Avatia laughed. "My doctor said I do not need that. But I sometimes find it boring in here. And I do have a haven....it's the lake at the backyard. Do you want me to show you?"

Draya's eyes widened. "Is that even a question? Take me there, girl." Draya laughed as she stood up and pulled her best friend outside.

Avatia took her to the back and showed her the lake.

"Oh my goodness, this place is just so beautiful. I can't believe you've been enjoying this view alone." Draya joked as she walked to the water and took of her furry slippers, dipping her toes into the water. "Ohhh....the water feels so good. Girl I need to swim. Why didn't I bring my swimsuit. Urghhh." She groaned. "This is one sure safe haven babe. I definitely love it."

Avatia just watched Draya play around like a little girl. She just hoped the girl could tell her everything that had happened in the past.

"I remember you always hated the idea of skinny dipping back then, but Kendal and u just didn't care. You're such a prude." Draya laughed as she started taking off her skirt.

Avatia's eyes widened and she pushed a hand in front. "Please stop. That's just disgusting." She laughed too herself.

Draya laughed too. "You see, you're still a prude. I knew my Avatia is still in that body, you just can't remember."

Avatia smiled and just shrugged. "That's why I want you to help me remember. By the way, who's Kendal, you mentioned the name."

Draya laughed so hard tears rolled down her cheeks. "You do not remember Kenny? Oh my God, this is the best news I've heard throughout the day. He boasted of being the first person you would reminisce of. What a shame. I tell you what, I'll call him and you'll tell him you do not know him." Draya suggested with a laugh that caused Avatia to laugh too. The girl was just so silly. "This is so fucking hilarious, bitch. Kendal's gonna be heart broken for real. His gay ass is gonna throw a tantrum."

"He's gay?" Avatia asked surprised.

Draya nodded with a laugh. "You really don't remember him."

The blonde just shook her head and looked in a different direction.

Draya laughed one more time before pulling her friend into a hug. "Hey you, don't feel bad, okayyyy? Kendal is your cousin. Our second best friend. He's so cute, nice and a total cuddle bunny. He's also gay, which you've never been ashamed of."

Avatia tried hard to recall. "Do you have a picture of him?"

Draya nodded. "I do, but my phone's in the cottage. Let me just describe him, huh?"

The blonde nodded this time.

"He's super tall. He's got jet black mixed with brown hair."

Avatia's heart skipped a bit. The guy from her dreams had that kind of hair and was insanely tall too. "And silver eyes?"

Draya laughed and shook her head. "Nope. Piercing blue eyes."

"He's so cold but in reality, he's a good guy?" Avatia asked, judging from the guy who always invaded her dreams.

Draya laughed again. "Oh hell no, Kenny is so warm and funny. He also loves....."

"Black. That's his favourite colour." Avatia ended with closed eyes. If she had to remember this guy very well, she had to close her eyes and communicate with her mind.

Draya's eyes widened in realization of the guy her best friend was describing. It was Dreidan Vaughn. The fucking hot mafia boss. It was clear as night that even if aunt Grace forced Avatia not to remember this man, the heart just never forgets true love.

"Right? He loves black, right?" Avatia asked a shocked Draya. "What's wrong, you look like you just saw a ghost."

Draya shook her head and faked a laugh. "Uhh...not really. Kenny loves the rainbow colours. He's a gay in all definitions. So jovial."

Avatia looked at the sky. "If that's the case, then who is this guy? He's always in my dreams. I can't remember clearly though." She ended in a low tone, so confused. She had hoped this guy in her dream would be the so-called Kendal.

Draya's mouth was itching to say the truth. She was having a mind to heart debate. She was unsure of the reactions she would get if she told her the truth. Then she made her decision. She was here to help her best friend and if telling her the truth was going to help, then that was what she was going to do. "That guy you're talking of is...."

"There you are. The beauty of seeing two beautiful girls having a heart to heart conversation is just too much. It's breathtaking." Doctor Nathan said, walking towards the girls.
