'Til We Meet Again Book 2

Chapter 31

Short chapter

Amanda's POV:

Two months..... two months later; April. I have no boyfriend and Marshall hates me even more for what I did. I shouldn't have done what I did, I should have just let it slide. I just want Cole back but since he called me a fucking bitch it's too hard because he has never called me that, he has never spoken to me the way he did that night and I can't forgive him that easily because I hadn't deserved that.

I have shut myself off completely from reality, I haven't shown up to work at all since I requested I should work from home. I haven't hung out with Nancy, I'm not taking any social phone calls just business phone calls and I barely talk to my sister. I still haven't told her what went down in Detroit, Cole has been calling me and texting me non-stop but I ignore them since I don't have the nerve and energy to hear him out.

I lay on my bed in the middle of the day doing absolutely nothing, just staring at the ceiling. I told Dre what happened in Detroit and of course, he finds a way to blame Marshall, me and Dre are on good terms now, he has been really supportive and understanding of my feelings. I feel like I just hit rock bottom, I don't know what to do, I can't talk to anyone, I'm just stuck.

The door to my room bursts open "What the hell happened in Detroit?" Kristy glares at me as she slams the door shut, I sit up and glare at her "Aren't you supposed to be in school?" I ask her annoyed "I lied to the teacher saying I have a stomach ache and they let me go home" Kristy explains "Don't avoid the question" Kristy raises her voice at me "What the hell happened?" She asks me once more time "It's none of your business" I turn away from her "Yes it is my business because you have been locked inside your room for two months" Kristy points out as I feel her sit on the bed

"You're avoiding Cole, you haven't been to work in two months and you're avoiding Nancy too, now what's going on?" Kristy asks me, I squeeze my eyes shut to prevent tears streaming down my cheek "It doesn't matter" My voice cracks, I feel her hand on my arm and begin to rub it gently "It does matter sissy, you have been so depressed, I hear you crying every night, you don't even eat" I have lost weight, I lost like 10KG or more because I avoid eating, I sleep late, wake up late and I cry nightly. I don't look like myself anymore.

I feel Kristy lay down and she throws her arm on my waist, I intertwine her fingers with mine "I love you Amanda" from the corner of my eye I see her look at me, she pushes the strand of hair from my face as I cry to myself "Just tell me what is going on" I feel her kiss my cheek. I gather the strength and courage to tell her what's going on. I turn to face her and see a gentle smile form on her face as tears are streaming down my cheeks.

I take a few deep breaths in and out and tell her what happened "I'm so sorry Amanda" I look at her shocked "You're not mad?" I ask her, I feel like I'm Kristy's little sister now "Of course, I'm not mad, you did the right thing too bad Cole is a jerk for not understanding why you did it" I cuddle with Kristy "I love him so much" I start crying again "I know you do but you need a break from him, it wasn't right for him to call you that" Kristy says softly "Thank you" I smile at her. My little sister is so wise, I love her so much.
