I could hear the birds chirping. El is pacing on the porch when I try to contact Lucas. El goes inside with a sharp exhale.
"Hey. Is everything okay?" Dad asked us.
"Yes." We answered. I managed to get through to Lucas.
"Lucas." I snap down the phone.
"Okay! Hello?" He asked me.
"[sighs and goes into her room] It's 9:32. Where are you?" I asked.
"Sorry, I-I was just about to call. I, um... can't see you today." Lucas answered. That was weird Lucas could always hang out.
"What... Why not?" I asked sadness in my voice.
"It's my Nana. She's very sick." He answered.
"But dad said that your Nana was okay, that it was a false alarm." I stated.
"Yeah. That's... what... we thought it was at first, but then she took a real turn for the worse." He answered.
"Oh." I stated.
"Yeah. We think she might... die." Lucas tried.
"What?" Mrs Sinclair said.
"Hey Mrs Sinclair." I stated.
"Mom! Get off the phone! How many times?!" Lucas complained.
"Did Nana call?! Hey Alex." She asked
"No, Mom! Just get off the phone!" Lucas complained. Mrs Sinclair scoffs.
"[sighs] Sorry about that." Lucas complains.
"How's your mum?" I asked trying to be kind.
"Yeah. She's so upset, she's making no sense. Because we have to go to the nursing home. To see Nana." Lucas carries on.
"You can come over after?" I asked feeling lonely.
"No! I mean, I-I just think... I need to be alone today. With my... feelings?" Lucas asks.
"Did you just lie to me Lucas Sinclair?" I asked.
"What? No. Friends don't lie. What, Mom? My mom's calling me. Better go. Talk to you tomorrow. Talk you already. Bye!" Lucas said before hanging up. I walk out my room in a grump and put the phone back. El dose the same walking out dad's room.
"Hey. What's going on?" Dad asked us. Me and El went back into our room and I slammed the door. I walked beside El hand in hand to Max's.
"Shit!" Max says.
"Hi." I start.
"Hi?" Max asks.
"Can we talk?" El ask. We go into Max's room
"And then he said he- he missed me. And then he just hung up." Me and El explained.
"They are piece of shits." Max said.
"What?" El asks.
"Mike and Lucas doesn't have jack shit to do today, and their Nanas obviously isn't sick. I guarantee you, him and Lucas are playing Atari right now." Max says.
"But friends don't lie." El pipes up. I walked to the corner and sat down hugging my knees.
"Yeah, well, boyfriends lie. All the time." Max says.
"You're going to stop calling them. You're going to ignore their calls. As far as you're concerned, they don't exist." Max says.
"Doesn't exist?" El asks.
"They treated you like garbage. You're gonna treat them like garbage. Give them a taste of their own medicine." Max answers.
"Give him the medicine." El repeats.
