Selena

The light from the windows hit my eyes causing me to wake up. I almost forgot I was back home and in my own bed. I pull the covers off my body and head to the bathroom.

As I was brushing my teeth, realization hit me. Harry and I are no longer together. Tears automatically started welling up in my eyes. Last night felt so strange I didn't even think about anything too much. Harry did say we're on a "break". I spent two months without him and then when I'm back I lose him again. I guess he just needs so space, I need to give him that at least. I blink away the tears as I wash my face and walk out of the bathroom.

I decided to get started on my breakfast. It's already 10 am. I should eat something before I take my morning medication. I'm really feeling like I want to eat pancakes today. All I got at rehab was eggs and bacon, I never thought I'd actually say this but I'm tried for Bacon. Can't even look at it anymore.

As I start mixing all of the ingredients together there was a knock on my door. I wonder who that could be. It's still pretty early in the morning. I quickly wash my hands and head to the door.

"Who is it?" I ask through the door as I don't have a peephole on the door.

"It's your gorgeous best friend open the door!" Nina's chirpy voice fills my ears through the door.

I smile and open the door and almost immediately I'm wrapped into Nina's embrace.

"Aww I missed you so much." Nina says spinning me around in the hug.

"I missed you too." I smile into the hug.

Nina pulls away and rests her hands on my shoulders,"You still look like your beautiful self. Did you have a haircut in rehab?" Nina smirks at me.

"Why yes I did. My nurse Janice was nice enough to cut my hair for me. Do you like it?" I ask holding onto my hair.

"Yes it looks very chic." Nina smiles.

"Come on in. I was just getting my breakfast ready." I say walking back to the kitchen.

"Oh good. I haven't had breakfast yet either. Josh really wanted to come to see you but he had to show a client two-three houses so he couldn't make it." Nina says.

"It's alright. I can see him tomorrow or something." I say.

"So what are we having for breakfast?" Nina asks sitting on the kitchen counter.

"Pancakes. I had eggs and bacon for two months straight. I can't bear to look at bacon anymore." I say as continue mix my ingredients together.

"Lucky for you, I love pancakes." Nina cheekily smiles at me.

"No shit. You survived your entire college years with pancakes. Saying you love pancakes is an understatement." I joke.

"True." Nina nods.

"Can you please get me some milk from the fridge please?" I ask.

"Only because you're asking so politely." Nina smiles.

"Here you go." Nina says handing me the milk cartoon,"Wait check if it's expired or not."

"It's not. I just used it a little while ago." I answer.

"So where's Harry? I thought you two would be spending the night together. Two months is a long period of time. If know what I mean." Nina winks at me.

"He picked me up and we spent a few hours together..." I start off.

"Then?" Nina asks.

"Well we had dinner here and then we broke up." I say nonchalantly.

"Wait what?" Nina asks jumping off the counter.

"Well we're taking a break. Harry suggested we need to spend some time apart figuring our lives out. We're still going to be there for each other as friends and soon we'll get back together." I simply say.

"And how do you feel about all this?" Nina asks looking at me dead in the eye.

"I know this for a fact that Harry hasn't been the same since I've been diagnosed with Lupus. He's dealing with something and I'm not exactly sure what it is. He needs space and a little time, I'm ready to give him that. I believe he'll be fine soon and will be ready to talk to me." I say looking at the pancake frying in front of me.

"Are you okay babe?" Nina asks placing her hand on my shoulder.

I nod,"I will be. I love him more then anything. I just hope he'll be ready to talk soon and with everything that's going with me, I guess a little break won't be too bad for me."

"You're going to burn your pancake. Flip quickly Selena!" Nina warns.

I flip the pancake quickly "Sorry. Not paying much attention."

"It's alright. I don't mind my food being slightly darker. I'm not racist." Nina jokes.

I chuckle,"Way to lighten the mood Nina."

"Okay you move to aside. Let me finish of the rest of the cooking." Nina says pushing me aside.

"It's fine Nina. I can cook by myself." I say.

"No I'm going to do it all by myself. Go rest or watch some tv show while I get done with this." Nina sternly says.

"Ugh you're so annoying." I sigh.

....

"When are you starting off work?" Nina asks.

"Monday. I originally had another month but I requested Harry to let me come back early because I can't no longer just do nothing so I'm going back to work." I say.

"So you're going back to work two days after your boss pulled a break on your relationship?" Nina puts it together rather harshly.

"Don't put it like that Nina. It's not as bad as you're thinking. I'm fine. Deep down I know that all of this is temporary. Don't worry about Harry and I." I assure Nina.

"I know. I know. Harry isn't a bad guy and I know he probably just needs to figure out things for a little. But I'm worried about you Sel. You know that Lupus can lead to serve depression, I don't want you to fall into anything like that because of this so called break." Nina looks at me worriedly.

"I'm strong Nina. I can handle myself you know that very well by now. I'm taking several pills a day and one of them our semi anti-depressants. I know if I need someone I have alot of people to talk to. I'm fine Nina. You know me." I say to Nina.

"I guess you're right. But it makes me sad, you guys were in such a happy perfect place a few months ago."

"I know. Did I tell you he asked me to move in with him?"

"Really? When?" Nina asks.

"On our 10 month anniversary. Right before I fainted in his arms." Sadness was laced within my voice.

"Hey I'm sorry." Nina says rubbing my arms reassuringly.

"It's alright. You and Josh also took a break when we were in college and look at yourself now." I say trying to assure myself.

"I guess you're right. All couples take breaks eventually. It's pretty normal." Nina says.

"Yeah." I say.

.....

Nina left an hour ago and I was just sitting in my living room listening to some music and reading.

My phone rang and I immediately picked it up. Harry's name was displayed on my phone screen. That's weird. I wonder why he's calling me at this time.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Selena! It's Millie!" A chirpy voice says through the phone.

I smile,"Hi sweetie! How have you been? I really miss you."

"I miss you more Selena. How was your vacation? Did you have fun? Did you do alot of shopping?" Millie asks.

I chuckle,"Unfortunately not but it was nice and relaxing. Are you having fun with your grandparents?"

"Uh-huh. When can I see you?" Millie asks.

"Whenever you're free I'll be down." I smile through the phone.

"Okay!" Millie exclaims.

"How is school going Millie?" I ask.

"Good. Do you know Miss Berry told me I'm her favorite student last week?"

"Oh really? I'm not even surprised. You're such a good girl." I smile.
