Chapter 220: Did I Hear Wrong

James pulled away from the hug, and Victor patted her on the shoulder before hugging her. "How are you?" He asked with a smile on his face and Leia nodded at him as she walked to sit down on the couch. "Pretty good." 

A low breath exited her nose and she rested her head back on the couch. 

"How are things going with Mr. Adolpho? Have you made it known to him that you know he's not your father?" Victor inquired as he strolled to sit on the one-man sofa.

"No...not yet." Leia slightly shook her head and turned to stare at Keisha. "How's your sister and school?" 

A slight smile emerged on Kiesha's face, and she pulled her legs to her chest, wrapping her arms around them. "She's pretty good. We will be leaving for school next week, and it's kind of overwhelming." She glanced up at the ceiling as she spoke, and Leia's brows creased a bit in bewilderment. "Why the overwhelm? Aren't you happy that you're finally going back to college with your sister?" 

Kiesha turned to look at her and slightly shook her head. "No, it's not that. It's just that I will be leaving a lot of things behind and am feeling really broken inside. I am more down because of you guys. It's so hard to imagine a few years without you guys. I feel like an awesome part of me is being taken away.-" The tears that welled up in her eyes slowly fell, and she used her pinky to wipe them off.

"You guys are like my family and make my life complete, but... I mean, I am really happy, but it's hard to leave. It's really hard." A deep sigh left her mouth, and Leia walked over to sit beside her. She reached out her hand and yanked her into a warm hug, slowly caressing her back. "Hey, don't cry. Have you forgotten that we could all always do a video call and see each other? You don't have to cry, because we will always be anywhere with you, plus you're not going to stay there forever." She smiled tenderly at her and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. "It's okay." 

James and Victor smiled and also reassured her, helping her to calm down and return to her happy state.

A low breath fled Leia's nose as she suddenly recalled something, and she buried her face in her palms. 

James, Victor, and Kiesha, who saw her sudden unhappy state, furrowed their brows, and Kiesha proceeded to implore what the problem was. "Is everything okay, Leia?"

Leia raised her head and turned to gaze at them. Seeing the worried looks on their faces, she restlessly pinched between her brows.

She inhaled and exhaled deeply, then turned to face them. "I have a question that I would like to ask you guys."

The three glanced at themselves in a bit of bewilderment before slowly nodding at her. "Okay..." They said it in unison, and Leia bit her lower lip.

"If you ever find out something horrible about me that is unacceptable, would you guys cut off ties with me and leave me?" Her pitch-black pupils gazed at them in anticipation, and the three blinked their eyes in confusion.

They turned their heads to glance at each other, and on seeing the confusion in each other's eyes, they returned their gaze to Leia. "Baby girl, why are you asking such a question? Do you think we will ever leave you?" Kiesha asked, with a bewildered expression on her face.

Leia took a low whiff and raised her head to gaze at her. "Just answer, please."

Their crinkled brows deepened, and they slowly nodded at her. "Well... we have all been best friends since you were sixteen. We have gone through a lot together, so I can assure you that nothing in this world can ever make us leave you. Nothing at all." Victor said, and they nodded in agreement.

"Really?" Leia implored with a reluctant look on her face, and they nodded at her. 

"Leia, is there anything that you want to tell us?" James asked as he could notice her anxiety and the sweat dripping from her forehead.

Leia shifted her gaze to him before glancing at the others to see the suspicious expressions on their faces. She let out a subtle gust and slowly nodded her head. "Yeah... I have something to tell you guys."

"Okay...go on then." They nodded at her, and she took yet another subtle breath before slowly pulling off the cap of her hoodie, exposing her two-colored hair.

On seeing it, the eyes of the three dilated as wide as saucers, and they drew their heads back in disbelief. 

"You dyed your hair!" Kiesha clamored in utter disbelief and slowly shook her head. "I thought you despised dyes?" She asked with skepticism evident in her tone, and Leia immediately shook her head at them with a stressed look on her face.

"No, no, no. Guys, I didn't dye my hair." She clicked her tongue and rubbed her forehead in an apprehensive manner.

"Huh? If you didn't dye your hair, then why is it half gray and half black?-" Victor asked, with deep confusion in his eyes. "-Or are we seeing things wrong?"

"That's what I want to talk to you guys about." She turned to face them with an anxious look on her face. "Don't freak out and hear me out first, please." She pleaded, and they nodded at her before paying attention to what she was about to tell them.

Leia closed her eyes for a moment as she took a deep breath, and when she felt she was ready, she opened her eyes and began to talk. "I...didn't dye my hair. I woke up every day to find it changing to... a gray color." 

James instantly arched his brow as he couldn't seem to understand what she was saying. "Hold on for a moment. Did I hear wrong?"

He glanced at each of them as he felt that he didn't hear what she said correctly.
