"His phone's gone to voicemail again." I shook my head, feeling absolutely sick to my stomach. Lately Mark hasn't been himself around me. At home, he's always so secretive and when he goes out lately, he doesn't even bother to ask if I want to come. Now, as of the last few days, anytime I try to call him, it always goes to voicemail or he's in such a rush to get me off the phone.

"You don't think he could be che..." I had to stop myself right there and then before I had a chance to finish that sentence. I knew as soon as I spoke those words, I'd begin to dwell on it, and it'd just make me absolutely miserable. If that were the case, I just couldn't understand why. We were perfect for each other, have been since the day we met. Sure at times Mark and I could be like night and day but, I was the sun on his cloudless day, just as he was the moon in my starry night sky.

"No... No, of course not. He wouldn't do that to you." Hailey may have sounded so sure of herself but, inside I was questioning everything. I sank back into my seat, stirring my cup of tea, staring blankly into the caramel coloured abyss. I understood sometimes work gets put ahead of me, so he doesn't always have time to sit and chitchat throughout the day when we'd just see each other at home later anyway but, something felt different this time.

"I'm calling him again," I proclaimed dropping my spoon onto the dish beneath my cup. My fingers were quick to find the numbers on my phone, and Just before I could press to dial, my sister swept her hand at mine, causing me to stop myself before the call was made. "Honey, no. You know Mark is a busy man. Fuck him, wanna have a girls night out?"

Just the way she said that got me to break into a smile. However it was so easy for her to say I shouldn't worry because she wasn't in my shoes. She was right when saying Mark's a busy man but, he always has been and that's never really affected us. Now over the last few days he hasn't quite been himself around me, and he seems so distant... like he's got something to hide.

When Hailey's question went unanswered that was when she got up from her seat, and wrapped her arm around my shoulder. "Come on, I'll take you downtown to your favourite restaurant. My treat." A night out with my sister sounded like a great idea and going to my favourite restaurant would have been more tempting had it been with my boyfriend instead. After all, that was where we had our first date so, the place did have some sentimental value behind it.

"I don't know if I'm up for that."--"I won't take no for an answer. Come on it'll be fun." Hailey pouted at me with her lips turned down, and her doe eyes pleading me to change my mind. I simply rolled my eyes trying to ignore her presence hoping she'd stop but, when she started whining like a little puppy, he silliness got me to smile.

"I don't have anything to wear. I can't go to a nice restaurant like that in a tank top and shorts." Truthfully although I was somewhat concerned about what I should wear, I was much more concerned about my relationship. In the bit of my stomach something was stirring, causing it to turn and sour. There was a reason why Mark has been so distant lately and the that I didn't know why was eating away at me.

"I'm sure we can find something in my closet, after all we are about the same size." There was no doubt in my mind her closet would be filled with many beautiful things, all that should fit me rather nicely. Hailey and I had been just about the same size all our lives and we often shared clothing growing up, thankfully years later, we were still just about the same size, aside from shoes.

I huffed and puffed out my cheeks just staring down into the abyss that was my lukewarm cup of tea. Of course a girl's night with my sister at my favourite restaurant sounded great but, I knew I wasn't going to be incredible company given the circumstances. "I don't want to be a downer all night." Hailey's reaction was to scoff before throwing his arms around my neck from behind, clearly for comfort. That was at least something I knew I could always rely on her for. "Oh shut up. Best day or your life or a living nightmare I'll always be there regardless. So come on, let's go get dressed."
