A Tale of Two Ends

Chapter 10: Help

I go back into my room, crying so loudly. Muffling my screams with my bear. I get the phone and call my closest friend, Karla.
"Hebrokeupwithme!" I cry into the phone.
"What? Bre, what happened?"
"Hebrokeupwithme!" I try again.
"Bre. Slow down. Breathe. What are you saying?"
"He. Broke. Up. With. Me." I say slower.
Suddenly I hear laughter. "Stop lying. Ya'll didn't break up." Karla continued to laugh.
"Yes he did! I'm being serious. Stop laughing." That went on for a couple of minutes. Her not believing me made me cry more. Finally, she realized that I wasn't playing. So then I had to explain to her what happened from beginning to end.
"Karla, please help. Help me. I can't lose him. Please." I ask for help because she is the friend you can always count on to make things better.
"I'll try Bre. Go wash your face and lay down. I'll call you back when I'm finished. What's his number?"
I give her Terrell's number and wash my face. At this time it is already 1 AM. Call me, call me. This is taking forever...

At 2:30 AM she finally calls me back.
"I talked to him and told him how you reacted and then I started explaining to him how much you love him," Karla started. All I was doing was listening. "I switched it around and told him that maybe ya'll could just start from Point A. He told me 'No! We have been through too much to start over.' I said exactly."
I finally speak and say, "So did you get through to him?"
"Yea. Kinda. He said he needed to think about it and told me to tell you to call him tomorrow." She explained.
"Oh my gosh. Karla! Thank you so much for helping me. I knew I could rely on you. You are awesome. Thank you again!" I babbled. I was so happy. She really gave me the help I needed at such a horrible time.
"I love you Karla."
"I love you too Bre. Now get some sleep. You have to get your man back tomorrow." We both laughed. "Okay. Goodnight."
