" zoey, can you stop being all sad all the time? it's really killing my mood. "
said my 'friend' bre.
we were out getting smoothies and we'd been here for at least half an hour. I was on my phone texting my best friend Audrey when bre grabbed my phone and seen what I was typing.
" seriously? fuck off. " I snapped and grabbed my phone back.
" you're never going to meet her, why do you even talk to her? long distance friendships don't work. "
" because she's there for me and supports my decisions. "
" so do me and tara? " she said giving me a disgusted look.
" not really, remember when i was head over heels in love with Elliot ?, you and everybody else teased and judged me. "
it had been months since I'd talked to him. he didn't care anymore. he didn't want to meet.
" because like I said, long distance friendships and relationships don't work out! "
" that's bullshit bre. " I said grabbing my stuff to leave.
" then why did he leave you? "
I bit my lip and tried hard not to cry.
" because people like you don't know when enough is enough " I said swinging open the door and leaving.
-
" hey " I texted Audrey
" hiii " she replied
" today sucked :-( "
" aw. what happened? "
then I told her everything. I was done with everyone. I needed to meet my bestfriend.
" I've never liked how your friends treated you. btw I almost have enough so we can get our own apartment " she replied.
I was so happy. we had been saving since we were around 14 and all of these years I've been waiting to leave this piece of shit town.
when I met audrey, I was really depressed and insecure. she is the reason i'm not dead, in middle school I had a long distance boyfriend named Elliot.
I was so happy, I posted pictures of us face timing on Instagram all the time until I realized what people were saying. they'd say stuff like " can't you get anybody from around here? " or they'd get up infront of the whole class and go to the map on the wall, Point to where he lived and they'd laugh. it hurt like fucking hell. every single day. over and over again. the bullying never stopped.
so me and Elliot drifted apart..
and we haven't spoke since.
" are you serious...?! " I texted back,
then I realized that I didn't even know how much i had saved.
I ran across my room to my book shelf where my money was in a jar.
I took the jar and spilled it everywhere.
" oh. my. god. "I said out loud counting the money.
then I grabbed my phone and dialed Audrey's number.
" hello? "
" oh my god audrey "
" what? what's wrong ! "
" nothing! I have enough money to move! " I said squealing.
" really!? "
" yes!! "
" yayyyyy! "
" this is the happiest I've been in a while! " I said stuffing my money back in the jar.
" me too! "
" I can't wait "
" me either but I've got to go, michael and cal are coming over "
" what, who's cal? "I said confused
" this guy that Michael is friends with "
" ohhhh " I cooed.
" oh hush! " she laughed
" but really, ill talk to you later zoe "
" alright, see ya "
" bye "
