What Comes Next?

Do I Dare Answer the Phone?

"GOD DAMMNIT! Where the fuck are my keys?!?!"
I stumble through my purse to find them, as I wipe tears from my eyes.
I unlock the door finally, why me? There are a billion people on this earth, why did they have to hookup? I can't and wont let myself be hurt. Not like this. How though? He made me happy, I only knew him for a couple days, but I cant do that to Tracey. Can I? I make my way to my room, a little bit tipsy l, but enough to know that I hurt. I whip off my dress and crawl naked into my bed.

As a loud ring from the telephone began l, I rolled over.
"Oh my it's only 7:42 am."
I decided to answer.
"Hello?"
"Meryl, its Tracey. Can we get breakfast? Don called and said you left upset?"
"Tracey, I don't know if I can see you right now!"
"Meryl meet me at Blix' for breakfast! Goodbye!"
Hanging up the phone, I knew I had to go!

Slipping into a frumpy sweater, a pair of highwaisted jeans, and a pair of old toms, I grabbed my keys and left.
"MERYL! Over here."
I turned walking into Blix' to the the left, where I saw peanut sitting.
I slid into the vright red leather booth.
"Meryl, we need to talk!"
I hesitated.
"What happened between you and Don?"
"I got drunk, and he was at the bar. He offered my a ride home,and I took the offer."
"How many times had you seen him?"
"After that night we dated for 8 months..."
" And you didn't tell me this why?"
I could see the hurt in her eyes, something deep down slowly killing her.
"Because, I didn't think it would last long, but Meryl, I'm pregnant.... I know for sure it's Don's. We had sex right before we broke up 2 months ago, I found out this morning. I am just not showing much...."
I couldn't bare the information, I started to cry. Not because I was hurt, but the fact that the person I was slowly falling for, I could no longer love. For the sake of a frienship.
