I brushed my teeth, and dried my hair. I brushed through it and straightened it. I put my "face" on and put my clothes on from yesterday. I walked out waiting on the couch for grace.
"I'm almost ready! Sorry, you know how girls are..." She said putting her earnings in in front of the sink. She let me use the bathroom to get ready.
"On the way we should pick up a McFrappe and do you have any--" I got a text interrupting me.
"We need to talk. Don't you DARE avoid me." Ryan texted me. I deleted his number only about 100 times.
"Oh..." I said out loud.
"What is it?" She asked slipping her heels on.
"Nothing...nothing, anyway, do you have gum?"
"Yeah...should be in the drawer by the toaster." I walked into the kitchen grabbing a piece of Winter Fresh gum. I slipped it in my purse and walked to the front door with grace.
"What the heck? You're so weird why didn't you eat it?"
"I'm waiting so when we get coffee my breath won't stink. I'll just drink it then chew it. Duh." She laughed and let me walk out first. We made it to her car and I got in. She locked her door and got in the drivers seat.
"If anything goes wrong, just come to me...and I'm sure I can help." She said.
"Alright. Thanks, that makes me feel better." Just as she got in the road, I got a call from Taylor.
"Hey Taylor!" I said.
"Hey babe...be careful today. Know you can call me for anything and I'll kick is ass. Love you."
"Love you too, thanks. You be safe too." We hung up. Today started out well. If only it could stay this way.

We were in McDonald's driveway getting our coffee and I got another text from Ryan. I didn't want to check it, and I wasn't going to, but the curiosity was killing me. So I checked it.
"Meet me in my office at 11. Don't forget. Don't avoid. Just listen. I want to call you but I think you blocked me. And that doesn't make me happy." Oh boy. Oh boy. I deleted the message and I took the frappe from graces hand.
"Whoa. You're green...what happened?"
"I got a text from Ryan...he wants me to meet him. What do I do?"
