The Unexpected.

9|Ghosting

~ Matthew Price ~

One week later...

It has been one week since me and liza confessed. It has also been one week since I started ghosting her. I honestly don't know why I'm ghosting her. We said we were good and that we really wanted this, us.

She hasn't texted me in the last two days, I think she gave up trying to get my attention. I don't know why but I am scared to talk to her. I'm afraid that I'll hurt her and I'll turn into my old self. I want us to work.

My friends haven't texted me in the last week as well, so I'm basically a loner now. I invited them over today to talk to them. The last time I talked to Jake he told me I wouldn't be able to stay with the group.

Apparently changing isn't a good thing when it comes to the boys. I needed to talk to liza but I didn't know how to. I need her to know that I haven't given up on us, not this quick. I could never give up on us.

I grabbed my phone to see a text from Felix.

Felix: we are here bro

I got up from my bed and went down stairs to open the door. I found my 4 'friends' standing there.

"Yoo what's good bro? Haven't seen you in a hot minute." Adrian came towards me to dab me up.

"Hey bros, come in." I smiled.

"Yo so, we gotta talk about what's gonna happen to this group, because honestly homie we need you in this group. Jake was just playing when he said that we'd stop being your friend." Felix looked back at me before sitting on the couch.

"Oh thank God. I mean there's no way you guys would've stopped being my friends. We've known each other since elementary. " I sighed, feeling relieved.

"Nah man, you're like a brother to us." Issac said.

I never thought I'd be so happy hearing the words "you're like a brother to us." I've been an only child my whole life, living in a home with abusive parents. These guys were the only reason why I'm still here today.

"So what's going on with Liza? You've talked to her yet?" Issac questioned me.

I shook my head, "Nah, man. I haven't had the time to, you know, I've been so busy with my parents divorce."

"Oh shit your parents got divorced?" Felix widened his eyes.

"I mean it was pretty obvious they didn't love each other, Felix." Issac rolled his eyes.

"Ouch." I spoke.

"Sorry man." Issac apologized.

I shook my head signaling him it was okay.
He's not wrong, my parents never really loved each other. Maybe that's the reason why I was such a bad kid. All I know is that I'd never treat Liza the way my parents treated each other.

Me and the boys ended up playing some games before they left. Once they left I went up to my room and opened my phone. Surprisingly, I got a message from Liza. My heart started racing remembering what had happened last Monday.
