Chapter Thirteen

A L E X I S

Saturdays. The most boring day of the week, after Sunday. When I was in high school and college, I always waited for the weekend. But now, not anymore.

Sophie informed me that she would spend a few days at her boyfriend's house, leaving me all alone in this large duplex. If mom could see how great our life is right now, she'd be shedding so much tears.

I really need friends. Correction, I need friends i know I would be able to trust, not friends that would back stab me onwards.

I know what to do!

I picked up my phone from the white sofa and dialed Penelope's phone number and waited for her to pick it up.

Penny: Hey Macy

Me: Do you want to come over and I don't know, maybe have a drink or something?

Penny: Sure, can I bring along a few friends?

Me: Sure!

Penny: Great, see you soon.

Me: Bye!

At least now I'll have company to distract me from the beautiful mess that is my life.

I tidied up my house, the last thing I want is for Penelope to think I don't clean up.

"What to cook! What to cook!" I muttered to myself as I pace back and forth in my kitchen, Kyle was right, there's literally nothing healthy in this house, except for water.

I guess we could order a pizza or something.

This feels so weird, I have never been the type to invite people to my house, I remember vividly that the only people that ever came over to my house was Andy and Jasmine, now I don't even know where they are.

The doorbell interrupted my thoughts and I snapped back to reality. I walked over to the door to open it and I found Penelope on the other side of my door.

"Penelope? How did you find out where I live?" I asked shocked, to find her at my doorstep.

"May I come in?" She asks with a smile and I mentally face palmed myself for not inviting her in.

"I'm so sorry, do come in." I muttered and she walked in with elegance.

"Nice place, do you stay by yourself?" She asks as she walks around.

"My sister's at her boyfriend's for the weekend."

"Okay, okay. So seems you've got nothing to do with your Saturday, instead of inviting us here, let's go to a club or a bar instead. I mean, girl, it's a Saturday!" Penelope tried to hype me up.

I really couldn't hate her for marrying kyle, she's so pretty and she's too nice.

"Okay, let me go change, in the meantime, feel at home. I'll be right back." I ran upstairs to get changed.

I pulled out a floral V-Neck romper and a pair of black boots. I combed my hair and put it into a neat ponytail, did a little bit of makeup and went back downstairs, because I didn't want to keep her waiting.

When i reached the living room, I saw her staring at something. I went closer to see and I found her staring at the frames picture of my mother, I immediately cleared my throat.

Her eyes found me standing beside her and she flashed a smile, "Is this your mother?"

"Yeah, before you ask let me tell you, she's dead." I answered with hurt in my voice.

"I'm sorry," Penelope was apologetic.

"No tears left to cry , let's go out!" I changed the subject.

"Yes, let's!" She replied and linking her arms with mine and leading me to the door.
