Safe In Your Arms

Not So Good

I got upstairs and opened my bedroom door, walked to my bed and dropped myself on it. "Oh, what a day, finally going to graduate in  four days." "Damn that was quick." I thought. As I was thinking, I got distracted by a sharp pain in my back. "Ouch, what am I laying on." I said. I got up and saw my phone laying there. "Oops." I thought. I clicked the home button, and saw that I had 3 messages. One from Brianna, and 2 from a number I didn't know. I opened Bri's first. It read:

From: Brianna
Hey, thanks for the ride home :) next time I'll drive. We had a lot of fun, and loved the dress!! You're gonna look absolutely stunning! Anyways, I gotta talk to you about what happened while you and Sophie were gone, wanna go for coffee tomorrow? Let me know. :)

Aww, she's so sweet, I thought. I replied a little late but at least I replied.

To: Brianna
Aww, thanks girl. Same to you, you are going to rock that dress! :) and yes tomorrow at 2pm?? And don't worry about it, I like driving :)

I sent it and opened the messages from the unknown number.

From: (314)-422-5890
You looked beautiful today babe, I miss your  beautiful smile and your delicate touch.

Immediately I knew who it was. "Michael" I muttered. It was followed by a second message that read:

Don't you miss me? Cause I do, all the time.
You're always on my mind lye.

"eww" I said out loud. "If he thinks he's gonna get me back, he's so wrong." I thought.

I laid back putting my earbuds in. Music was always my escape. I was falling asleep when my phone vibrated.
It was Bri.

From: Brianna
Okay. 2 o'clock it is. See ya, night xx

I replied with just a "night xx" back. I took my earbuds out and fell asleep.

I woke up, with the sun in my face. I turned around and looked over at my clock. It read 8:30 am. "Uh, so early." I moaned. "Oh, well." "I guess, I'll get an early start today."

I got up and put my hair in a high ponytail, and put on some short black 'Nike' shorts and a white sports bra, and over it I put on a black shirt that was open at the sides. I went down stairs and put on my black and white Nikes. I opened the door and put my songs on shuffle and started my morning jog.

I got home, out of breathe and sweating. I opened the front door and went upstairs for a shower. When I got out, I wrapped my favorite pink robe around me and combed my hair, then went downstairs. As usual everyone was eating breakfast. As I finished my breakfast I got a text from Brianna.

From: Brianna
Wanna go earlier to coffee then, my house after?

"Oh my gosh, for a moment there I thought she was going to bail on me."

To: Brianna
Of course. :)

From: Brianna
Okay then see you in a bit :)

To: Brianna
Okay :)

I went up stairs and got ready. I put my hair in a messy bun and put very little makeup on. I mean I wasn't going anywhere too fancy, it was just Starbucks. I picked out a simple white t-shirt and blue jeans, with my white vans for my outfit. Spraying my favorite 'coconut scented' perfume, and grabbing my bag and my keys, I left the room, marched down the stairs.

"Bye everyone" I shouted. "Have a good day, I'll be back in a bit, I'll be at Bri's if you need me."
"Okay, bye" everyone shouted back.

I got inside my car and texted Bri.
