Obsessed

2 Obsessions

Alex hasn't texted me for a whole week. I don't mean to sound so clingy, but you can't just drop a person without any notice.

Plus, I missed him so much. I got used to him being around, and of course I developed feelings for him. Maybe he just didn't feel the same. I wish he did, though. We really had a great time over the course of a month or so.

 I decided to get up and finally do something. I haven't seen my friends in a while, so I decided to see what they were up to.

I texted Denise, asking her if I could come over. I really missed her and I wanted to catch up.

Caroline: Hey, long time no talk

Denise: I know! I've missed seeing you everyday:( I kind of miss high school

Caroline: Can I plz come over. I miss u and we need 2 catch up.

Denise: Of course! All the other girls r here 2.

Caroline: OK. I'm omw now.

I bid my parents goodbye and got in my car. On the drive to Denise's house, I turned on the radio.

Am I wrong?

For thinking that we could be something for real?

I immediately changed the station. That was exactly how I was thinking, and I don't need to think about Alex anymore.

I'm thinking out loud

Maybe we found love right where we are

What the hell? I turned the channel again.

Think of you when I'm going to bed

When I wake up, think of you again.

I turned off the radio. I just sat in silence. I guess the radio wants me to be depressed. For the rest of the way to Denise's house, I song happy songs to myself.

I wanna swing from the chandelier

From the chandelier!

I know that wasn't exactly a happy song, but thinking of swing on top of a ceiling decoration surprisingly made me feel a teeny bit better.

Not.

When I pulled up to Denise's house, I dragged myself upstairs. Now I just wanted to go home and crawl in a hole and just die. I really hate Alex for making me feel this way.

There I go, thinking about him again. I slumped on Denise's bed, as everyone in the room watched me. All my close friends were here. Denise, Sarah, Melissa, Vanessa, and Jada.

They started a conversation about college, but I didn't want to talk about that right now. I still have a whole year before I go, so I don't want to think about that right now.

"...right Caroline?" Vanessa said. I had no idea what they were talking about, so I just nodded my head yes. I heard all the girls laugh, but I didn't really care at this point.

"Wait, so you are a lesbian?" Sarah asked.

"What the hell are you guys talking about?" I said, sitting up.

"Well, you wouldn't know, you aren't even listening to a word we are saying." Melissa intervened.

"Sorry guys, I'm just out of it today, that's all." I said.

"So, how are things with you and Mr. Alexander Harris?" Jada asked. I buried my face deep into a pillow and screamed.

"Did you really have to bring him up? I hope he falls down a well and never gets rescued." I said, knowing damn well I was lying.

 I would be the first one to jump down there and save him.

"I'm sorry. Trouble in paradise?" Denise says.

"I guess you can say that. He just stopped all contact with me one day. He hasn't returned any of my calls or texts for a week now, and I'm really depressed." I said. Denise stroked my hair like a baby.

"It's okay, there's plenty of fish in the sea." She said. I rolled my eyes.

"But I don't want any other fish. I want that fish. I miss him so much guys." I say. I feel so pathetic. Why am I still so caught up over him when he hurt me? I wish I could just get over him, but it's not that easy.

It should be easy, though. We were not even dating. Imagine how much more hurt I would feel if we were official. I really hate him.

"Hey, how about we take you out to your favorite Chinese restaurant to cheer you up?" Sarah suggested.

"Sam's Cuisine?" I asked. They shook their heads yes. I went home to change, then we all headed out to eat away my problems.

I know, I know. It's short. But I warned you guys. I hope you enjoy!
