calling elora...

"Didn't I just leave your apartment?
You need to work on this separation
anxiety, Lou."

Elora giggles through the line, but unbeknownst to her yet, Lou was crying her heart out on the other end of the line. She quickly took notice of her best friends unusual silence though.

"Lucy? What's wrong?"

Loucille lets out a sniffle, rubbing at her eyes for a second before taking a deep breath to respond.

"He- Uh...Dylan. He texted me."

"What did he do? Do you need
me to come back?"

The girl shakes her head even though she knew her friend couldn't see her. She swallows, trying her hardest to compose herself even in the slightest so as to not worry Elora.

"No, no. I'm fine. It just caught me
off guard I guess."

"Well, what did he say?"

Elora was now stood leaning on the side of a random supermarket building, biting harshly on her nails and trying her hardest not to freak out. She knew what the breakup did to Lou, and she never wanted her to go back to that place ever again.

"He wanted to congratulate me on the song.
But you know I deleted his number so I ask,
thinking maybe it was a family member of
one of you guys or something, I don't know.
I didn't answer after I found out it was him,
I couldn't find words to say to him. "

"Lou, I'm gonna need you to call down."
Her best friend interrupts.
"Everything's okay, I promise. You just need
to take a deep breath."

A couple sniffles were heard from Loucilles end along with a loud breath being taken in then let back
out again.

"I'm sorry Lo, I don't wanna worry you."

"Don't be stupid. What happened next?
I'm here to listen."

"Um, that was it really. Then he said he was
sorry. I don't know if he meant sorry for
everything or just for texting. "

Elora lets out a loud scoff. Her blood was boiling
at the moment, not believing the audacity
of this man to rain on her happiness yet again. Just when she though Loucille was finally okay after everything that happened, he pushes his way back into her life again.

"Hypothetically, if he was apologising,
would you accept it?"

The line goes silent for a few seconds, Loucilles
head spinning greatly with the question. Of course, she had given much thought to still being with Dylan but that was in pretending the breakup never happened.

"I don't know. I never really got an
explanation for why he walked out
that night. I guess maybe if I sat down
with him and actually talked. I don't know.
It's scary because I know that I would cave
for him in a heartbeat but I know that I can't.
I don't wanna go back to that place, Lo."

"I just don't want you to get hurt again.
You won't fall back into old habits, I won't
let you. I can't see you back in that place, Lou.
Because that was the most terrifying
shit I've ever had to go through."

"I'm sorry." Loucille whispers, tears
streaming heavily down her face
once again.

"No, please don't cry again.
You don't need to be sorry, okay?
I just need you to know that you are
so loved and so appreciated by so
many people. I would literally be so lost
without you."

Loucille lets a heavy sob escape her, the memories
of what she put her best friends through racing
fast through her mind. The conversation had
only made her realize how bad Dylan was for her again, even thought he never originally was.

"I just miss him and I don't understand why!
He tore my heart out of my chest and
stomped all over it. I don't know why or
how I can still love someone that has
hurt me that much."

Elora wasn't certain on what to do anymore. Only one simple text has managed to cause Loucille to
spiral this much. Who knew what would happen if Dylan kept reaching out to her like this. The thought make Eloras heart race.

"Hey, I'm coming back, okay?
We can have a cozy little sleepover.
I'll paint your nails, well watch a movie
and have some wine. Just please stop
crying, okay? I'll be there soon."

"Okay. I'll leave the door unlocked."

"I love you, Lucy. So, so much."

"I know, Lo. I love you too."

MAYA SPEAKS
y'all are probably gonna eat me up if i don't reveal the breakup scenes soon, huh?
