Paris's POV
No call, no text message? He hasn't thought to at least call me. Did he not notice I now have a problem or is he really just- You know what? Why do I even bother?!!! MY GAHDD! WHY!
End of POV
The next day Paris was on pilot mode while she was all in her head her mood was totally off. She was a walking mood and many ppl noticed even ppl around college who knew of her. She just kept to herself until she went home on her own. Reggie tried calling but she didn't bother to answer or even return his calls
When she was home, Paris's Mom was being extra nice to her. Paris found it unusual considering her mom always like to put up for a challenge with her whatever it may be but this time she joined her, to have a mother to daughter chat
Paris's Mom: "Paris look at me. What's going on? Talk to me"
Paris: [She let out a deep sigh] "I don't know why but... I just want to get away from here and start my life in New York already"
Paris's Mom: "What do you mean? What's the rush?Did something else happen?"
Paris: "I don't know, I just feel like this town is just toxic. Full of fake ppl and I'm soo drained mom. I'm so over the drama especially after Lucky. I really thought things would've changed for the better after Lucky's passing but it hasn't. People are still the same if not worse and I don't have the energy to entertain it no more. Oh gahd I'm so glad I'm moving after graduation. I can finally focus on myself for a change"
Paris's Mom: "You sound mad at everybody. What about Jacob? Are you two not close?"
Paris: "No... Him too. He's just as bad as the rest of them. He just..."
Paris's Mom made a face waiting for her to spill but Paris held back since she didn't want her knowing her business about her and Jacob just yet
Paris: "Nothing..."
Paris's Mom: "Well Paris, I'll tell you this. You've done me so proud and I may not be here all the time to show you that I am but I truly am. You're a beautiful young woman and you have big things going for you. Even after that tragic passing of your friend you still try to keep your head up. If I was in your shoes I would not know what to do with myself. It's a lot but believe me it will all pay off trust me baby! As for the ppl in this town, I couldn't agree with you more. That's why I don't intertwine with anybody from here. I go out and I get on with people from other states. I could just about deal with my colleagues but that's not the point. The point is you've come a long way and you're strong just like your mother. You have the right mindset and god will reward you. Believe me... I love you so much Paris"
Paris: [Tears started forming in her eyes as her and her mom hugged] "Thank you Mom. I love you too!" [She laughed as her mom laughed with her]

Paris was working until her mom called her to let her know she has a visitor. Reggie comes running up and shows up in her room. Paris made a face turned back to her work
Paris: "Hey... What are you doing here Reggie?"
Reggie: "Well I called and you ain't return my calls. I ain't seen you all day either. I feel like you been avoiding me. What's up?"
Paris: [She sighed and turned to him] "It's not you Reggie. It's just I'm not really in the mood rn"
Reggie: "I understand. Wanna talk about it?"
