over the past few days, I haven't been focused at all. I can't seem to focus at work, I can't seem to pay attention when people are talking to me, I can barely sleep at night because of how unfocused I am.
"Ames," Val snaps her fingers in front of my face, only waking me up out of another one of my dazes.
"sorry." I let an embarrassed chuckle escape my lips.
"what's gotten into you? you're so out of it." she says, placing clean dishes in their cabinets.
"I-I really don't know. I guess it's just nerves getting the best of me." I answer shakily.
"is it because of him?" she asks me.
"obviously. I just don't know how to react or what to do if he finds me." I tug at the roots of my hair, the natural color growing in slightly.
"I would just treat him how he deserves to be treated. and if he makes an effort to see you or be in your life, let him be there. as easy as that." she tells me, the thoughts processing through my mind before I feel my phone buzz in my back pocket.

iMessage
I open it without a thought while taking a bite from my muffin.
- hey, I was thinking maybe shopping in a few?
I glance from the screen to Val, the screen, then back to Val.
"hey Val." I say, trying my best to coo up to her. "is there a way I could go shopping with maisie to get my mind off things?"
"maisie as in the girl you dyed her hair a while ago?" she says, not taking her eyes off of a catalog.
"yes.." I trail on.
"go on ahead. maybe it'll get you back focused for tomorrow." she says, finally looking up.
"love you Val!" I say as sweet as I can.
"mhm sure you do." she says, glancing down back at her catalog.
I grab my phone and type away my reply.
- sounds good!
she replies quickly. we decide to meet at dukes to eat something before we go out to shop.
after a long time of deciding what to wear, I decided on my light wash high waisted shorts with a black and white striped tshirt that I tucked in, a black belt around the shorts, and my dark red vans that I brought from home.
when I head out the door with the black leather purse on my shoulder, I catch the nearest taxi to arrive at dukes within minutes.
"hey Ames!" she greets me with a welcoming hug as we sit down.
"where's your guy?" I ask her with a smirk on my face.
"oh, he's with his cousin, luke, picking his friend, I think his name is Mac, from the airport." she says, deep in thought.
"oh cool." is all I can say before the waiter comes to take our orders. we both order their famous burger and fries.
"so where should we go today?" Maisie asks me as she takes a bite of her fry.
"we absolutely have to go to Necassary Clothing. their clothes are amazing." I say after I finish taking a bite from my burger.
"sounds gucci." she replies with a thumbs up.
"so how'd your boyfriend like your hair?" I ask her.
"um, well, he was a little surprised at first, but he loves it!" she says with a smile on her face. I know that whoever this wyn guy or whatever his name is, is good for her based on that smile he gives her.
