12 - it's okay to cry

"So the elevator just like, stopped?" I asked Karen after she explained everything to the three of us. She sighed and flopped on her bed.

"Yeah, and that was horrible. I don't even wanna talk about it." Karen mumbled, as she brought a pillow to cover her face.

Clover gave me a look, before she shrugged her shoulder absentmindedly, as she walked away with a Subway in her hand.

I sighed and took my phone from my pocket. It didn't surprise me anymore if I had like 14 unread messages in the notification bar, because I knew it was from Fletcher.

fletcher: sugar

fletcher: where u at

fletcher: daddys missin u so badly

fletcher: come back

fletcher: babe

I smirked when I saw he called himself daddy, before I quickly pressed my fingers on my phone's keyboard.

me: excuse me but did u just call yourself daddy

fletcher: kanye not

me: omg u sound a lot like a white girl

fletcher: stop being racist u shit

me: aw babe

fletcher: what

fletcher: SAY IT BITCH

fletcher: i love u too xx *sighs*

"Zoe!" Someone yelled, as I felt my phone being snapped out of my grip. I quickly turned my face up.

It was Karen with her hands on her hip, and my phone was in one of her hands. I looked up at her face and frowned.

"What's wrong with you?" I snapped at her, as I snatched my phone back from her hand, before standing up so I'd be facing her.

"What's wrong with me?" Karen scofffed, crossing her arms. "What's wrong with you?" She hissed, as she glared at my phone.

"Well, I did nothing! What the heck are you talking about?" I furrowed my eyebrows together, feeling irritated with her already.

"Zoe, you don't realize? You literally stopped interacting with us since that guy decided to randomly text you at the AMA's - that actually might be a serial killer. And it's like, you have your own world, and that's just, I don't know, weird."

"No, that's not true!" I objected, "Stop overreacting, okay?" I said the last time, before I began turning around and ran towards the door.

"Zoe! Wait!" Clover called from behind, but I didn't bother stopping. I quickly grabbed the doorhandle, pushing it down as I quit our hotel room.

I wasn't even mad at Karen. I was just tired, and she suddenly snapped and shit. I didn't want to create any bigger fuss, so I decided to take a walk for a while.

God knows what will happen if Karen was mad. She'd literally just punch anything near her, or maybe even kill me if I went any further.

I looked down at my feet as I fastened my pace, but that was until I felt someone came running from the other side, knocking the both of us down.

I felt a sharp pain on my back, as well as a figure laying on top of me, propping his hand on the ground to support his weight. I groaned and opened my eyes slightly.
