alaya and i decided to go shopping today, then i'd go über driving later on. she's been acting strange ever since breakfast. acting like she was keeping a secret, but i know alaya, and i trust her, so i guess she was just on her period or something.

also, josh said he'd text me and tell me what happened with tyler, but i never got anything.

"this or this?" alaya showed me shirts she picked out, displaying them against her body.

"try them both! and try that romper i gave you." i insisted. she walked in with a bag full of clothes. suddenly, her phone started vibrating furiously. i picked it up and the name wasn't the thing that caught my eye, it was the message. it was from her sister and so many different people, i read the one alaya sent from earlier.

not princess laya😒💖: JOANNE I GOT JOSH DUNS NUMBER DJEJWIJDJSK

JoJo//HoeHoe👏🏼🤑: yOO HOW TF??

JoJo//HoeHoe👏🏼🤑: BISH ANSWER ME I WANT IT

my lips parted and my eyes widened, she had 36 other messages from 12 different people.

a a ari🔥💦: girl you're lying stfu

a a ari🔥💦: GIVE ME IT!!!

i read them all. my eyes were filled with tears, i started to run, i ran into the bathroom, into a stall, and sat on the floor. the voices were things i did not need right now, but they came. they came and did not bother to go away.

my phone buzzed, it was from josh.

alien daddy👽💖: i'm sorry i didn't answer, i just didn't know how to respond to such a text. i understand you don't want to be with me, even though your words did not say that. it's okay melanie, i will miss you. it's okay...

i was so confused. but then it hit me, i looked at alaya's phone again, which i remembered i brought with me, it was blasting with notifications.

alaya snuck onto my phone, texted josh, deleted the message, stole his number, and saved it to her own phone.

i immediately texted josh.

dollface😍💘: no no no, josh no please don't believe this! it wasn't me, alaya snuck into my phone! don't leave me please.

alien daddy👽💖: what are you saying

dollface😍💘: she deleted whatever she sent you. i don't know what it said!

i bit my wrist and whimpered softly. i tasted the metallic blood and wiped my mouth with toilet paper. why would my best friend do something so horrible?

alien daddy👽💖: how do i know this is melanie?

i sent him a picture of my bleeding wrist.

alien daddy👽💖: where are you i'm coming.

dollface😍💘: josh what about tyler?

alien daddy👽💖: melanie i took care of him.

dollface😍💘: p.b. mall
