"Hey, G." I shoved away my keys and sunk into the sofa beside her.
"What's up?" We knew each other well enough to know when something was wrong. "How did it go with psycho-sis?"
Was that only this morning? It felt like a lifetime ago.
"I was right; she's a psychotic bitch." Gloria nodded her head in agreement. "Luke and I broke up."
"What?!" She bolted upright from where she was sitting.
"He asked me to go to LA; I told him I couldn't." I didn't need to explain to Gloria why, she would understand.
The overwhelming feeling of loss consumed me. Luke's last heartbreaking hug lingered over me like a lost puppy; begging for some love. I love him. So, why didn't I go? I love him. So, why didn't I say yes?
In a few weeks time Luke would be gone and all that would be left was the empty side of the bed where he used to lie.
I pick myself up and go to bed.
And that's where I stay for the next couple of weeks. Even when I got the call to say I had a permanent position in the practice; I didn't bother to celebrate. I don't called my mother, my father, Mason or even my brother. Eventually they stop calling me after a while. They know I'll pick up eventually.
On day ten of what felt like my never-ending misery, Gloria enters my room as she tends to do most days to make sure I'm still breathing.
"You got any tampons left? I've ran out and Mother Nature is causing a fucking tsunami this month." She asks.
"Bottom drawer in the bathroom cabinet." I tell her, not even opening my eyes.
But then I have to.
"G, you wouldn't happen to have any of those little pee on a stick tests left; would you?"
"Sure," she relies, "Why? -Oh shit."
