MICHELLE'S POV

The car was silent as I drove towards home. I finished telling Amanda about my past with her mother minutes ago. I also talked about the times we were intimate.

Amanda hadn't said anything and I was too afraid to look at her.

As I stop at a red light a breath escapes from her letting me know that she was crying.

I desperately searched for words to comfort her.

"Amanda I-"

I hear the door lock being pulled and I look over to see her open the door and sprint out.

She closes the door behind her as I call out to her. I'm quickly drowned out by the cars behind me honking their horns.

The light turned green and I drove, looking for the next turn available.

Not knowing the area too well I end up in dead-ends and cul de sacs.

I drive around calling Amanda on her phone begging that nothing bad happens to her.

I gave up after driving around for about an hour.

(I know youre upset
but please let me
know that you are
okay)

After sending the text I began my long lonely drive home. As soon as I make it to my bed. Tears well up in my eyes and as I fall asleep.

AMANDA’S POV

I sat there listening to Michelle as she recounted the times she and my mother were together.

I felt myself go numb as I listened.

I start tearing up and I try to hold it in. Michelle hasn't looked my way as we drive near the park towards her house.

Not being able to sort out my feelings , I wait until the car stops before quickly running out.

I hear Michelle yell out my name which is muffled quickly by the door closing behind me.

I cut through the park knowing I would lose her there.

I take out my phone and call Ollie.

"Hello?"

"Ollie, can you help me?"

"Amanda what's wrong?"

"I'm at the park, can you pick me up?"

"Yeah, are you okay?"

"Yeah I-just…please hurry. Please."

"Okay, okay. I'm on my way."

Minutes later I hear the familiar whistle of Ollie's car. I look around for it. Through the darkness of the park I see her stop near the entrance.

I sprint up to her car and get in.

"Amanda what's going on?" she asks as soon as I get in.
