I hopped into my car and drove off into the streets of New York. Thoughts went through my head that ride. Like, "was it for me? There is no one else at work with a L in their name. When was it sent? Who sent it?". I made it back to the campus of Fordham University. When I open my dorm, I found my roommate, Laura, polishing her toe nails a dark blue color. "Hey, how was your day?" She said with joy. Laura was a sweet girl. She gave out pink cupcakes every Monday, and was always nice to everyone. She was just filled with happiness. "Ummm...nothing. What about you?". I know, I should've told her. But I didn't want her to worry. "Well, Scott asked me out on a date tonight. So I'm getting ready" she answered. "Be careful. I heard he's a Heartbreaker" I didn't need laura hurt. No one wants her experiencing depression again. Last year, Laura's boyfriend died in a car crash. She started l wearing darker clothing and staying in bed all day.
Laura's parents got her a phycologist and 5 months later she was ok. "Ok ok" she rushed as she slipped on her heels and walked out the door. Suddenly, my boyfriend, K, texted me. It read, "I wanna see u 2morrow. I got a surprise". I replied with "kk" and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Later that night about 1:10pm, Laura came back while I was studying for English. "How did it go?" I asked. "He was in a rush so he couldn't drive me back here. But I caught a taxi and everything else was great" she admitted. "Well I am glad you had a good time" I said relieved."Still be careful" I added. "Ugh. You sound like my mom" she complained. "I'm sorry. I just want you to be safe. You're too sweet to be heartbroken again" I apologized. "I will be okay, Lizzy". She sat on her bed, put her head on her pillow and fell asleep, and I did the same.
