KE'ANYA POV

It had been a week since I talked to my best friend, Since I had seen her .She hadn't been at school the whole week. I was beyond worried about her calling her every three seconds waiting for her to pick up.

It was Monday morning I was sitting by myself in class. Usually I sit with Eli but lord knows where she is right now.

" Why you look so sad keke?"
I recognized that voice anywhere.

I tureen and looked at her feeling a little upset that I hadn't heard from her in a week.
" Where have you been E? I've been calling you the whole week do you know how worried I was just for you to pop up not that I'm not happy but I think you owe me an explanation" I said in all seriousness.

" I don't owe you anything k I had stuff going on and couldn't come to school that all you need to know" attitude laced in her voice as she sat down.

" do you not care how I felt when you were gone?" I asked in disbelief.
Eliana could be blunt but this was a side of her that I had never seen before.

" No I really dont Ke'anya"

" I thought you were dead Eliana I cried myself to sleep because I was scared that one of the people I care about the most just disappeared so sorry if I care more about you than you do about yourself". I said my voice cracking as my eyes clouded.

" it's not that big of a deal I'm here now why can't you just be fine with that?"

" because you always do this you'll disappear and than come back with no explanation and I'll have to cover for you but never know why I'm doing it" I argued starting to feel frustrated.

" nobody asked you to do it though, you decided to cover for me all on your own so I don't understand why your mad" she said nonchalantly.

" you know what I don't care anymore Elaina fuck you" I said out of pure anger.

I looked up for a second and saw a flash of hurt on her face quickly change into an emotion less look.

We avoided each for a while. If she didn't want to talk to me I wasn't going to force her. But somethings was wrong with my best friend and I was going to find out what it was.

ELIANA POV

(* flash back*)

I was walking as slow as I could knowing I should be running but I didn't have the energy. Its the middle of the night and I was walking home. I sneaked out k's house once she fell back asleep knowing it would be awkward the next morning.

As I walked up the stairs to the front door of my house I started to become really scared knowing what would probably go down.

" I should just run away start a new life or something" I stated talking to myself something I found myself doing very often.

The door was unlocked which usually meant my mom had, people men to be specific coming in and out the house.

I slowly opened the door hoping she was in her room so I could sneak to mine.

" where the fuck have you been Eliana" she said opening the door fully.

" w-when I tried to come home the door was locked so I went to go stay with a friend ma" I said looking down knowing it was something she hated me doing when she was mad.

" what fucking friend?" She spat. I could smell the alcohol in her breath.

" ke'anya ma I told you abou-"

" Child my face ain't on the damn floor " she said harshly grabbing my chin and lifting my head up so we were looking eye to eye.

" I told you to be home by 6 didn't I" she questioned me.

" yes ma'am you did but we were working on a project and I lost track of time"

" you think they house is better than yours so you wanna stay there is that what it is Eliana?"

"No ma'am and I'm not trying to be disrespectful but when I got home the door was locked I had no where else to go-" I was cut of by her slapping me.

" don't you ever talk back to me again do you understand me? When I tell you to come home you come the fuck home do I make myself clear?"

I looked up at her holding my cheek with tears in my eyes. " yes ma'am"

" Good now go upstairs someone's up their waiting for you" she said as she walked to the kitchen.

( end of flashback)

I couldn't show how hurt I was by what she said. Because I deserved it. I could have texted her that I wasn't coming to school but I chose not too. I didn't want to answer any questions. We haven't talked all day I'd honestly been avoiding her.

I think she's starting to notice things

I can't let that happen.
