As usual, as soon as I got home, I planned to rush to my room and message somenobody89.

Except sometimes things get in your way...

"Honey! Was your day okay?", my mom asked me in caution as I closed the front door.

Shoot! I thought. She's never home early, what happened?!

Don't get me wrong- I love my mom! It's just that she can be a bit... Pushy?

*Flashback*
"Mom, I told you I don't want to talk about it!", I screamed in tears and anger.

"No! I will NOT let this go! You're obviously upset about SOMEthing, so WHAT IS IT?!"

"Please.", I whispered, the tears now cascading down my cheeks.

"Honey. Just tell me what's wrong! I can help!", she whispered back with what sounded like... Hurt?

"How many times do I have to tell you not to call me "Honey". I'm not the girl you expected me to be, but at least call me by my name.", I hissed, my words like a dagger.

I didn't dare look back as I stormed off to my room. If I did I would feel guilty.

I slammed my door shut and collapsed in a ball on my bed, a sobbing mess.

How could she do this?! She's my best friend! Or at least was...
*Flashback over*

That was just the beginning.

"Honey?", my mother's words snapped me back to reality. "Are you okay?"

I realized that I was crying. Again. I've been crying way too often for my taste...

I wiped my tears away and mumbled "Just dandy."

On the walk to my room I started to feel guilty.

What was I supposed to say? Oh no mom, I'm awful. You know my best friend that you consider your second daughter? Well she beats me up and calls me names now.

Yeah, like she'd ever believe that. Scarlett really is like her second daughter. The daughter she wishes she had. Instead of me, the screw up. The "boy".

I opened Wattpad to find 22 messages from somenobody89.

I skimmed through them. Just the usual gossip about the rude boys at school, how she hates math.

The last few are the ones that made me feel funny.

@somenobody89: hey, you okay? You usually respond by now.

@somenobody89: helooooo?

@somenobody89: seriously, you okay? I'm worried....

@somenobody89: oh no! Wait, now I'm really worrying! Are you okay?! Oh fudge, what if those girls got you?!

Wait... Do I maybe feel funny because... Does someone actually care about me?!

*Authors Note*
Okay, so this chapter was written based on a conversation Rainbows and I had recently, and I got inspired to write this.

The conversation was kinda personal, so I won't go into detail, but it was really emotional, and we both realized that we saved each other. How that without the other, we'd be the messes that our "best friends" (BFFN) made of us.

We also said we realized that we care about each other when we first started messaging each other advice. Before we both thought that we were alone and no one cared.

Rainbows, I love you so much, and I know I say this a lot, but I'm so so thankful for you, and I just... I can't even...

I've cried a lot these past two days...

Painful memories of who my BFFN used to be, harsh reminders that she's changed..

Rainbow giving me advice, listening to me through the pain, I can't express how happy I am that we found each other.

And I'm not ashamed to say that I cried writing this chapter.

Fudge, I'm crying again, I have to go.

Love you guys so so so much <3
Loves,
Pepper
