I called her back. “Hello? I just would like to tell you that I was in church the other day. Since you and Julie are in a fight, I prayed that God would show me what to do in our friendship. I think this is a sign that we shouldn’t be friends.”
Pure silence. I spoke up again. “If it’s not, I’m sorry.”
Again, no response. I heard something in the background. Either she dropped the phone, or she hung up.
Yet again, I heard the dial tone.
“Well, I gave it a shot.” I was now talking to myself. I picked up the phone and started to dial once more. Not for Rory, though. Oh, no. I was calling Livianna to yell at her until my body ran out of breath.
