Safe In Your Arms

Two More Days

Wednesday.

I opened my eyes. The sunlight was creeping in through the window really bright. "Ugh I just wanna graduate already" I thought. Two more days till I was up on that stage, receiving my diploma or my ticket out of hell, as I like to call it.

I really didn't mind that this week was taking so long because I was out of school anyways, but I was just so excited to graduate.

My phone rang but I was too lazy to get up and answer it. I let it ring till it stopped. It started ringing again right after. "Ugh, fine" I said, getting up.

It was from my oldest sister Lindsay. "Hello" I said.
"Hey lye, sorry to bug you but can you check if I turned off my curling iron? I'm not sure if I did. I can't remember." She said. "Yeah sure" I said. "Where are you?" I asked. "I brought Danny to the doctor, he needs his shots." "Oh ok, see ya" I said. "Ok" she replied. I hung up. "Poor kid, I hate shots" I thought.

I walked to my sisters room, lucky she had turned it off. After that I went to take a shower and get ready for the day.

I walked into my bedroom and went through my clothes in my closet. "What should I wear?" I thought. While I was looking for something to wear my phone rang. I walked over to my bed to get it, I picked it up. It was Michael. "Why would he call me?" "What does he want?" I thought.

"Hello?" I said.

"Hey lye, what's up?" He said slowly.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"Nothing, damn can't I just call you to talk?" He asked.

"No Mike, you can't just call me to 'talk', who do you think you are? Who do you think I am?" I said angrily.

"Alright calm down, babe" I just wanted to tell you that me and Katie are over." He said.

"Ok, so?" I asked impatiently.

"Don't 'ok, so' me Lye you know that the fact that I'm single again makes you happy. He said.

Sadly he was kind of right. It actually made me really happy. But he didn't need to know that.

"No it doesn't, why would I care about what you do?" I said.

"Layla, I know you still have feelings for me, so why don't you want me back? I already told you that I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cheat, I was drunk for gods sake."

"Mhm, yeah sure." I said. "Every single time that you were with her you were 'drunk' "I said with a light laugh.

"We were just friends Lye, believe me." He said sounding frustrated.

"I got to go Mike." "Please just leave me alone" I said.

"No, wait plea-"

I hung up before he could finish. I just couldn't stand to hear his voice. It wasn't good for me and I knew it.

I laid down on my bed. I couldn't help but smile at the fact that Mike and Katie were done.

"Finally" I said. I know I shouldn't like him. But I just couldn't help it. He was my everything. He had always been my everything.

I know I should try to get over him. I mean he cheated on me. Even though he says he didn't mean it. But everyone says that right?

I don't know. All I knew is that I had told everyone including my best friend, that I was completely over him. But I wasn't. I'm hurt, but I'm also in love. No one could ever know though. It was my little secret.

I had nothing to do today. It was pretty boring. I decided to clean the house. "Yeah, I was that bored, I know."

I put on some music and got to work. During that time I kept remembering everything thing that happened the day me and Michael broke up.

After three years of being together. It all ended in a blink of an eye.
