It was 7 pm and I was still waiting on a phone call.
I was repeatedly checking my phone only to be disappointed in the end.
He said he would call me if I made it, and he hasn't called me. I had a feeling it was all too good to be true. But now it was hitting me.
I walked over to my couch running my hands through my slightly greasy hair, I needed a shower.
I sat down with my feet under me and grabbed a blanket, I had to get my mind off of this it was killing me and giving me stress acne. I turned my tv on to find that absolutely nothing was on except for motivational speakers and gospel shows. I stood up deciding that I needed to take a shower, my hair was probably so greasy from me playing and running my hands through it so much, due to my stressful waiting.
Damn you Louis Tomlinson, you make me stress out.
While I turned my shower on and waited for it to heat up, I made sure to put my phone on full volume and set it on my counter just in case he decided to call me, he did say tomorrow.
It's tomorrow Louis.
I stepped in and I could just feel my muscles relaxing under the warm water, I love showers. I massaged my flower scented shampoo in and closed my eyes as the water flowed over my head, fuck I love showers a lot.
Just as I put my conditioner in my hand I heard a twinkling noise.
My phone was ringing.
I wiped the conditioner off of my hand so fast and jumped out of my shower too quick, a little too quick and fell on the wet floor.
"Shit!" I called out putting my hand over my already bruised thigh. I heard my phone ringing still and quickly snatched it without looking at the name.
"Hello?!" I said frantically into the phone, "Carmen, what the he-"
"Oh my god you're not Louis.. What do you need Lia?" I'm so disappointed.
"Sorry for not being Louis but I need help...." She said carefully.
Lia has been my friend since I moved from Nashville to Atlanta, and she's a good friend but she is also annoying, I never tell her that though. I try to be the best friend I can be, I will always be there for her even if she isn't for me.
"How can I help Li?" Her name is only Lia but I still like to shorten it even more, besides it suits her.
"This guy I'm on a date with is completely psycho, he is literally already talking about marriage and it's out first date... I'm in the bathroom hiding! He's a weird ass!" She whisper yelled into the phone.
"Really? Weird ass?" I said dismissing her odd name for her weird ass date.
"Yes! Can you please like call me when I get back to the table and say my grandma died or something?" I can almost see her running her hand through her hair and pacing around the bathroom.
"Yeah sure just let me get out of the shower; and get back to your date before he thinks you're shitting the whole place out." I said jokingly into the phone.
"Hahahah very funny Car!" She called me.
"Okay bye let me go fake your grandmas death real fast."
"Bye, and be quick!" She called out after I heard her open the bathroom door.
I honestly am so sad. I probably didn't get the spot at the club and I probably will never get to fulfill my dreams and be happy and get a husband and kids and dance and I will never be who I want to be. I just want things to actually work out for me, just once.
I quickly got back in the shower and put my conditioner and washed my body off, remembering Lia's psycho date.
I wrapped a towel around me and grabbed my phone clicking her contact and called her.
"Hello..? Mom?" She said into the phone.
She must've changed my name in her phone. "Yeah? Anyways! Grandma just passed I'm sorry honey!" I said into the phone pulling off my best saddening voice, he must've heard me because I could hear a "Oh no! I'm sorry, you should go!"
"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Lia said to her date sounding like she just got the actual news of her grandma passing.
"Yes! Of course be with your mom!" He said, "I've got the check Lia! Nice to meet you and sorry for your loss!"
"You too bye thanks!" She said casually to the man.
She's always been a good actor, I would feel so guilty if I did that.
I heard her get up and open the restaurant door and the sound of wind whipping around.
"Thank you so much Carmen, oh my god I thought I would never get out of that!"
"No problem Li, if you need anything else just call me."
"Wait! Who's Louis?" I could hear the suggestive tone in her voice.
"He's the owner of the club and he was suppose to call me today if I made it, it's 9, and he still hasn't called!" I really need to relax.
"If I'm talking to Carmen I know she made it because you are so so talented and I believe in you and your abilities, if he can't see that, he's blind." She said assuringly, I love when she's nice.
"Love you Lia, thank you so much I needed that, I guess we both needed help tonight." I said with a laugh.
"Yeah and if he doesn't call you I'll go up there and knock some since into him."
Ex out that part where I said she wasn't there for me.
I'm glad I have a friend like her.
"Alright well you do that, I'm going to bed, thanks again Li." I yawned into the speaker and stretched my arms out realizing I was still in a towel.
"Bye Car, don't worry he will call."
I said my final bye and hung up looking down at my towel covered body, I need to change.
Just as I got up I heard a knock at my door.
I walked over completely forgetting about my towel being the only thing covering me and looked through the peek hole.
Oh shit.
