Like every Saturday, Amelie and her friend Melanie met up at a Starbucks. But this wasn’t like any other Saturday. Mel looked angry as she waited her friend’s arrival. Surely, there was something that Amelie had done to make her friend feel that way.
Her thoughts proved correct. As she took a seat across from Mel, she noticed her friend didn’t look her in the eye. It seemed as though she was..disgusted. The two remained silent.
“So, you and Shawn. Again,” Mel asked in a disapproving tone, breaking the icy silence.
Slowly, Amelie nodded.
“Seriously, Amelie. Don’t you have a brain?” Amelie was speechless.
“Well, I promised myself I would never talk to any girlfriend of Shawn’s. He’s bad news. I’m telling you, when you fall, I won’t be there to pick you up. I’ll stand behind and watch. I want you to learn. And until you do, I won’t speak to you,” announced Mel, her words cutting Amelie’s heart like a knife.
With that, Melanie got up and left, leaving her feeling shocked, but mostly, hurt.
