An innocent girl leaves her hometown to face her new challenges in her senior year as an independent woman. Later on, she realizes that the real challenge that she is facing is being a tenant of the landlord, Larissa Weems.
"Abby? Abby what?" I asked her seriously. I'm kind of getting annoyed, not because of this beautiful woman. I just can't take it that Larissa is leaving me hanging again. Why does it seems like it's just so easy to leave me behind? And now what? She sends someone to proxy her with her responsibilities that in the first place, she shouldn't have left. It's so clever of her to find someone who can do her job? How important is that matter that she would leave anything behind? Last night, we were just kissing and now she's gone again. I find her really selfish sometimes and it's making me cast down.
"Just Abby" she gave a friendly smile.
"Are you sure that you don't know where she is?" I followed up.
"Fine." she sat down again, "She is in Waterloo. Attending a meeting for landlords."
"Landlords?" I was suddenly confused and invested. I almost forgot that Larissa is my landlord. That fact snapped out of my head. I never knew that being a landlord is also required to attend meetings though. She should've told me and then I'll be okay.
"Aliyah..." I looked back when someone called me.
"Ms. Frump..."
She called me but her eyes are on Abby. I observe how they are looking at each other. It's like they've known each other base on my assessment. I look awkward here knowing that I am in the middle of their stares.

"Hello, Morticia."
"It's nice to see you again, Abby..." she walked slowly towards her and then she gave her a hug. A very tight hug.
Sweet. What about me? I miss my Larissa.
"I should leave" I said because it looks like I'm just interrupting their moment together.
"No!" they both said simultaneously which made me startle.
"Dearest, I would like to talk to you." Ms. Frump said as she walk towards me. "Shall we have a cup of drink?"
"Sure." I said with a nod.
"Wait for me outside, I'll be there in awhile." she caressed my hand before letting me go. I glanced at them before leaving the room, they were just staring at me and I think they're just waiting for me to evaporate in the room.
I went outside and I leaned on the wall trying to bang my head lightly. Suddenly, tears unexpectedly fell on my cheeks and my heart felt an ache. The crucial part is back....Larissa left and I don't know when will she comeback. Maybe tomorrow? Today? The other day? Next week? I don't know and the fact that I have no idea is making it more painful. It's making me think that, did she even thought of what I would feel? Because I think no. Eversince we met, first of her priorities is herself. I don't know if I'm saying this because I'm mad or I am just really more honest when I'm hurt.
