P.O.V. Mary
I was lying in my bed, spooning with Michael, when I heard the door next-door slam shut. I turned around to face Michael who had his eyes closed. I slowly pecked his lips to make his eyes open. He kissed me back before I slowly pulled back.
- What’s wrong, Sweetheart? He said, looking concerned.
- The door to my flat just slammed shut. Maybe I should go see what’s happening.
- Should I come? He said, getting up.
- As you wish! I said, following his towards the door.
He opened the door and leaned on it to let me pass before him. So sweet. I got out of the old couple’s flat and entered in mine. When I got in Mak and Cal looked at me, surprised.
- Oh. It’s just you. Said Mak, automatically looking away.
- Wow Thanks Mak. Nice to know that you care about us. I said, teasing her.
- I was just expecting Callie. She just stormed out of the flat, crying.
I turned around to Michael.
- That’s what I heard. I said. Heading to the door.
I turned around and asked if they knew where she was.
- If I knew, I wouldn’t be here! Duh. Said Mak.
- Yeah, I guess… I said as I got out of the flat.
As I stepped out of the room, the guitar at the beginning of the song Live While We’re Young started to play. TEXT MESSAGE! I chanted as I pulled out my phone.
Bestest Callie: Where are you? I need you!
Me: About to get out of the elevator, you?
She didn’t take any time to reply a Lobby. I walked out of the elevator and ran into Callie, in tears.
- Whaaooo! What’s wrong, bella? I said, putting both hands on her shoulders.
- Luke’s not my best friend anymore.
- WHAT? WHY? I yelled
- He likes me, Mary! I can’t be best friend with him anymore.
- Listen. How about we go out tonight, you and me, alone. We’ll settle everything tomorrow.
- Okay! Sounds like a deal. She said through tears and shaky breaths.
Be got out of the lobby and crossed the street to our favourite club.
