Call

Emily saw me and ran toward me and asked, “Why did you leave earlier today?!”
“Cause I had… stuff to do.” I replied.
The golden child didn’t say anything. She just stood there listening in. I guess she didn’t want to be part of this.
I started to tell Emily that I didn’t like Ashley anymore and that Lauren was all I needed. Emily replies with a big talk about how I should keep everything in priority and get everything straight.
Like she does (Sarcasm)
I finally left without saying anything and walked home. I went to my bed and laid down.
Why does this happen to me?
I get up and go downstairs and into the kitchen. What Emily said was stuck in my head. I can’t stop thinking about it. It drove me crazy.
My phone rings and I answer.
“Hello?”
“Hey…”
“Who is this?”
“This is Lauren.”
“Lauren? You don’t sound like yourself.”
“I’m just sick is all.”
Something was wrong
She started talking about what’s been going on. She knew everything.
“Are you sure this is Lauren?”
She paused and hung up the phone.
What?
