The last thing he’d said to her the night before was “I love you… please pick up, i need to talk to you…”; then waited for another 5 minutes before hanging up. The morning had been unbearable…
Im sorry, Emily, my feelings have changed…
Each time those words ran through her mind, she felt her heart sink. She was now sitting in Biology, head burried in her arms, and her eyes red with tears. The teacher was giving them an important lecture on reproduction of cells, but Emily heard nothing but her short, staggering breath. Her best friend, Emily Reinhard, sat next to her. She’d been her best friend for 3 years, and not once had she seen her like this. She decided to let her be, until she was willing to talk again, at least.
Emily Pearson went through the rest of the day, not saying a word to anyone. She hadn’t paid attention in any of her classes, so she had no idea what homework she had. When she got home, she hid in her room, reading Sean’s sorry note over and over again until falling asleep.
