*Allison's POV*
"I am such a coward."
Were the last words I heard come from Leslie's mouth that day. I mean, we still text...however it isn't the same.
A: Hey... about the other day.. Leslie- I didn't know.. and I'm sorry!
L: Hi, it's honestly alright. I didn't tell you from the beginning because well, I'm still trying to understand what's going on your head, haha!
A: Are you sure you're alright?
L: Oh, yeah. Perfect.
A: Okay great, wanna hangout later?
L: My parents are home right now... maybe some other time?
A: Oh yeah, no of course, I understand. Have fuuuuuuun!
L: I will. bye.
See? Our texts are just.. bleh!
I- I understand why she is feeling like this but.. it's not fair! I have my own problems to worry about. I may not have bipolar disorder but I do have an eating disorder. That's a mental health disorder. I spoke to. my older brother Michael about it. He's making sure I get professional help. However, I know everyone isn't that same.. Leslie probably doesn't have anyone to talk too about her kind of stuff.
"Purrrr~" I look down and noticed Dover brushing herself on my leg. Oh Dover, You're my only friend right now and-"
*BEEP*
"Oh! I hope that's Leslie!" I check my phone quickly and notice it wasn't her.. but it was Michael. Do I really want to open up this message? Nah!
Now that I think about it..Leslie lied to me. Her parents are not home.. I remember her telling me that they are on a trip somewhere for like a week- "Oh my goodness.. Dover! Can you believe it? She just lied to me, like she was used to lying..! What else is she hiding? I'm gonna bake a pie and go 'give it to her parents' as a welcoming home dessert! I know its sneaky, but Leslie started this by lying to my face! ...Well maybe not my face, but over text. I'll show her! Come on Dover, let's start cooking."
