This wasn't how imagined everything would go.I thought life would feel so fresh after i graduated high school and moved in an apartment with Lailla but it didn't.My parents prefered that i go to college right away without wasting time and i kind of agreed with them.I glanced at all the boxes on the floor waiting to be unpacked and began suspecting Lailla that she wasn't seeing any Starbucks place nearby but was getting late on purpose.She always did this and it'd be no surprise if she did it this time.
"Now where is my phone",I said as i got up from my bed.I looked everywhere and finally found it at the makeup table i had set earlier with Lailla.I had promised i'd help her with hers in her own room.I clicked on her contact and dialed.
"Sorry the number you're calling is unavailable right now.Try again later"
"Oh", I decided to make some dinner in the kitchen so i unpacked the dishes and urgent utilities i needed right now.Dinner was ready and Lailla wasn't here already.I decided to continue unpacking some stuff but i got lazy because there was no Lailla who would be telling me weird stuff which i pretended i didn't like but i actually loved as they kept me entertained.I looked at the time and it was already 6pm.She has been gone for two hours, what is going on?I dialed her number again but she wasn't answering at all.
Then i remembered everytime we go at Starbucks she takes a picture of her coffee and uploads it on her Instagram so i checked her page but no there was no post.This was kinda weird so i called Landon her older brother. They actually had only a one year age gap and he went to the university we had applied and got accepted into.He immediately picked up the call and he didn't sound happy at all but rather mad.
"What do you want,Marisa?",I already knew what answer i was about to get.
"Oh sorry ,Landon.I was just wondering if Lailla contacted with you lately.She hasn't been home for like 2 hours",I heard a snicker and it wasn't from Landon but rather a girl.
"I haven't talked with that monkey for like a year or something",I was kinda dissapointed but what did i expect.Lailla and Landon acted like....siblings.I am an only child so i never got the love-hate relationship they had because i genuinely thought if i had a sibling i'd cherish them and love them.Everytime i told this Lailla she'd just laugh and say,"Trust me you wouldn't"
"Oh well sorry if i interrupted your activities or anything you were doing"
"Well duh you did.I'm banging some chick right now and you obviusly interrupted.But whatever see ya",He then hung up and i could say i wasn't surprised by his acts i mean he was always like this.
I received a call and immediately answered without even glancing at the name.I hoped it was Lailla so i'd be sure she was okay but when i said hello all i heard was muffled tears from the other side of the call.
I looked at the name and it was Mrs.Lavey,Lailla's mom.
"Mrs.Lavey are you okay?"
"......."
"Mrs.Lavey?What's going on?"
"Lailla.......she's dead"
What.
