The next few days passed by quickly, as expected. Each day was the same thing over and over again. Get up, get dressed, go to school, and see Alec for less than a second, then go home. Natalia had him wrapped around her nasty little fingers. I was hoping that he wouldn't cancel this week, because that would really suck. He kept telling me that we would hang out this Saturday. Of course, Saturday took forever to happen. It was Friday. I expected Alec to postpone our get together again, but hopefully to have some decency and tell me before.

I lied on Amy's bed staring at my phone, waiting for any kind of noise to come from it indicating that Alec was trying to contact me. I knew it would happen any minute. Well, I hoped it would, so that I wouldn't have to go through all of that again. I seriously didn't plan on going to church again. It wasn't really my thing, or Amy's. Shelly seemed to be under the false impression that we were going to be there again. We were apparently best friends with her now. It was horrible. She came to sit with us at lunch, and before we ate she made us stop and said a 5 minute prayer. It was something along the lines of "Please bless this food, Lord. Let whomever made it, not have poisoned it. We trust that you will help us get nourishment and give us strength... and blah, blah, blah."

The phone still didn't ring. Was it even on? I grabbed it quickly and pressed the circle button near the bottom. Yeah, it was on. I kind of wish it wasn't. Then I would be able to turn it on and see that I had a voice message and then I would listen to it and I would be fine. Okay, I wouldn't be totally fine. 

I set it back down on the bed. I looked up to see Amy staring down at me. Yeah, it was a regular Friday night. Well, a regular Friday when my parents were around. They finally returned to the heartbreak hotel. They were used to this kind of thing. I was too, believe it or not. Mom came back Sunday night. Looks like my prayers were answered! Kidding. She said she came back thinking of me. BS. She said that she was worried that I wouldn't have anything to eat and she also needed to do laundry. She was right about the laundry part. Did you actually think that I washed my clothes? Anyways, dad came back on Tuesday. It was a little awkward the first few days, but tonight was their violent make up sex day, so I had to retreat to Amy's place.

As usual I sat or lied down on her bed hating life, while she danced around to Of Monsters and Men. Later we would search for "funny" internet memes and point out how illogical they were and then probably watch one our favorite movies, like Superbad or Whip It. Some Indie movie.

"Hey, you okay?" Amy asked over the loud music. I smiled at her. She knew that I wasn't. I needed some serious help with my fake smiles.

"I am fantastic," I chimed.

"You sure?" she asked sitting down next to me.

"Never been better," I answered sitting up.

"Oh really?"

"Yes."

"Bull-"

"Shit, I know!" I shouted. "I am freaking out! Freaking out, I tell you!"

"Aww, it's okay," she said pulling me in for a hug. "Tell Auntie Amy all about it."

"Ew, did you just say 'Auntie Amy'?" I laughed.

"Yeah, I did, didn't I?"

"Never again."

"Agreed. Now, what's eating you up?"

"Alec," I mumbled.

"That bitch stood you up again?" she hissed.

"No. I'm just expecting him to."

"Why?"

"Well I barely got to see him this week. Stupid Natalia is probably going to steal him again. I just don't want to get all excited. I want him to tell me in advance."
