You Found Me - The Frey

A fair warning, this one is especially short. I was supposed to have added to this forever ago, but I haven't done so yet. But I promise I will make this longer eventually. Enjoy. :)

A gust of wind swept past a woman in her twenties, stirring up some leaves that had fallen off a small, dying bush on the edge of someone's yard. She had a cigarette hanging loosely from her mouth, it was the last one she had on her. She was supposed to have gotten some more earlier, but she never got around to it. It didn't matter all that much to her anyway, so she had neglected to stop in at the convenient store she passed on her way home from the gym earlier. When the woman was about 25 feet from her front door, she froze. Her jaw went slack and she almost dropped the last of her cigarette. The man standing on her porch was the last person she thought she'd see that day.

Her best friend for as long as she can remember stood before her, his face emotionless as he asked "Where have you been?"

The woman regained her composure as she walked up to her front door, pushing past him to unlock it and finally answering with, "ask me anything. Just not that."

"Well why the hell not?" He was getting angry and his voice rose. "You just fucking up and left without a trace. No phone call. No text. Nothing. What the hell!?"

"Just leave me the fuck alone right now, Anthony. Go home." She replied.

"No! Talk to me. What's going on?" Anthony tried, his voice softening.

Ashlynn stepped inside of her house, turned in the doorway, and looked Anthony straight in the eye. "Go home, Anthony. Just leave this alone. Leave ME alone." She said sternly, closing the door.

Anthony sighed, exasperated, and hoped whatever was bothering his best friend wasn't his fault as he left.
