I regretted immediately not calling her back that night. We were still friends, and she needed me, and I wasn't there for her. Neither for Angelina nor for Bo. The thought of it embarrassed me, and I began to question whether I deserved their friendship.
So I started to avoid them. But Bo forced me to talk to them after a couple of days, to explain what had happened.
"Mir, a week has passed, and I hear nothing from you. Won't you explain to me what happened on Angelina's birthday?"
"Sorry Bo. Something happened that made me come home".
"But you don't leave your friends hanging like that! And explain to me properly what happened, saying that something happened isn't enough".
"You can open up to me, we have been close friends for three years now".
There was silence for a few seconds.
"Miranda?"
"I'm sorry. I screwed up. Mom's back".
"You could have told me from the beginning! I'll go to your house".
"Alright, text me when you're near".
