The Neighbor

"Chris still isn't talking to me!" I groaned and plopped on the couch next to Hellie who was reading a poem book. She closed it and looked at me.

"Is he mad at you?" She asked.

"I don't think so I mean I don't think I did anything to get him mad at me," I explained.

"Maybe go over to his house" Hellie suggested.

"I think I might," I said looking at my phone.

"Want me to come?" Hellie asked and I shook my head.

"No, if something is wrong with him then he will only want me there," I said. Hellie nodded understanding and I went up to our room and changed.

I kissed Hellie and kissed Flower on her head then left. It only took about fifteen minutes to get to Chris's apartment. Once I got there I slowly got out of the car and walked up to his apartment door. Larry the desk guy wasn't there. I knocked on the door and then heard footsteps and then some random person opened the door.

"Who are you?" She asked rudely.

"Oh er im looking for Chris," I said.

"Sorry don't know him," she said smacking her gum very loudly.

"Is this apartment number 279?" I asked and the women nodded.

"Duh, can't you see the number right there?" She asked pointing to the number on the door.

"Sorry. Did you guys recently move in?" I asked.

"No, we have lived here since my great great great grandpa was born. Of course, we just moved in!" She yelled.

"Sorry."

"Stop apologizing it's annoying!" She whispers shouted.

"Right er im just going to go!" The lady nodded then slammed the door in my face. "Rude bitch" I mumbled. Now I was completely confused Chris just disappeared out of the blue. I sighed and walked back downstairs. Larry was now at his desk so I went up to him. "Hey Larry when did Chris move out?" I asked.

"Hey, Cora! He moved the out about two months ago! Here's a letter he left for you. He must have known that you would come here eventually so he told me to give it to you!" I thanked Larry then grabbed the letter and got into my car. As soon as I shut my door I tore the letter open.

Dear Coraline,

If you are reading this then I have moved out of my apartment and moved in with Tyler. I am writing this to tell you that I don't want any contact with you! You didn't do anything wrong and Im not mad at you but I think it's best we go our separate ways. Now that I know that you are in a happy healthy relationship! Have a good life.

Chris

I threw the paper into the passenger seat and cried. Chris was my best friend since we were babies! I grabbed the paper and read through it to see if I could find any of our secret codes but there was nothing. When Chris and I were little we made secret language/codes that only we would understand. But there was nothing he just left me and using a note as a goodbye. I mean a fucking note! Even though I was still crying I started driving back towards Hellies.

Tears were endlessly falling from my eyes by the time I pulled up to my house I parked my car in my driveway and walked over to her house. I didn't even notice the other car parked in her driveway. I just walked into the house and froze at what I saw. Hellie and Tim we're making out on the couch. "What. The. Fuck!" I yelled. Hellie immedatly broke away from Tim and looked at me with wide eyes while Tim had an evil smirk on his face. "Flower!" I yelled and she came running towards me from upstairs while Hellie was frozen in her spot. I picked Flower up and started walking to the door to go over to my house.

"No no no no no. Cora, please! Please let me explain!" Helena begged following me to the door. I ignored her and walked out of the house of course being followed by Helena. Flower barked and started wagging her tail thinking we were playing a game or something. "Baby please!"

I walked up to my door and went to get my keys but realized I forgot them in my bag that's in my car. So I walked over to my car and opened it up and grabbed my bag. While Helena was begging for me to let her explain. But right now I was too much of a mess "Helena not now! I just lost my best friend and now I walked into my girlfriend cheating on me!" I exclaimed.

"Th-that's not w-what was happening p-please! I love you! Only you! Please!" Helena was bow full-on sobbing.

"So I didn't just walk into seeing you and Tim making out!?" I asked. Helena stayed quiet only letting sniffs and hiccups out and I scoffed and slammed my door shut in her face. I fell to the floor and cried while Flower cuddled me and tried to calm me down. I ended up crying myself to sleep.

I woke up the next day with the worst headache. I was dehydrated from crying so much. So I slowly got up and got myself something to drink and then changed into something more comfortable.

(Ignore the shoes and bracelet!)

I laid on my bed and just stared at the ceiling lost in thought. I have lost my best friend and girlfriend in one whole day. When I'm sad about Helena I go to Chris and when I'm sad about Chris I go to Helena but now I can't get it either. I'm all alone. Flower licked my face as if she was reading my mind saying 'you have me.' I smiled and petted her.

"You won't ever leave me right flower?" I asked. But there was no response she just laid there cuddled up to me. I started crying again.

Hi, babes I know I'm sorry! But there needed to be more drama! Trust me there will be a lot more! I'm just getting started.
