She's still standing.

We'll see...

Chapter 41

"Celia?!? What does she want?!?" I said as the voicemail started. Her voice was muffled and she sounded like she was crying, but honestly I didn't give a shit if she was crying because I cried so much because of her. Hell, I almost died because of her.

"Shailey, im sorry. I'm so sorry. I know I've been a terrible friend. Wait I haven't even been a friend I've just been terrible. And I'm so sorry for ever hurting you. I just want to make sure you're okay. I've been wanting to reach out to you for a while but I just didn't know if you want to hear from me. Anyway, Brian and I Broke up because I found out he was fucking Mollie, Bianca, and Julia behind my back. I wanted to talk to you about it, but then I remember that I hurt you. And when I thought about that I just couldn't forgive myself unless I made it right with you. But if you can't forgive me, I understand one hundred percent. Anyway, I was just going to say I'm sorry and I was wondering if you would be up for having lunch with me at Alejandro's at 12. If you want to give our friendship another chance come. And if you don't, I guess I'll be eating alone. Again, I am so so so sorry. Okay. Bye. Oh wait and by the way this is Celia Sinclair."

I put it on speaker phone so Noah could hear everything. "Are you going to go?" He asked me.

"I don't know. I don't think I can." I said laying down in bed.

"Well don't think about it tonight, get some sleep and think about it after church tomorrow." Noah suggested.

"Okay" I said. I went into the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth and changed into my pajamas. After I was done Noah went in there to get ready. "Here's your sweats and a t shirt you gave to me." I threw them at him so he could change into something more comfortable to sleep in. I went into the closet to find him a sleeping bag, blanket, and pillow. "Here." I said laying them down nicely at the foot of my bed.

"Thanks." He said not questioning anything. I got into bed and he came and tucked me in and kissed my forehead "Goodnight, I love you baby girl."

"I love you too." I said as my eyes shut heavily.

The next morning my alarm woke me up at 6 am. I woke up Noah too.

"Morning." He said pulling me in for a kiss. We went downstairs and he made me eggs for breakfast fast.

We were still the only ones home. Mom doesn't usually get home from work until 8 am. And Summer, who knows when she'll be back.

We ate breakfast together and then I went upstairs to get dressed for church. I took a shower and put on my black and white polka dot dress with a jean jacket and a golden necklace and my black combat boots. My hair was in a side braids with my glasses because all my contacts were gone. I came back downstairs to find Noah just sitting on the steps waiting for me.

"You looks absolutely stunning, Baby." He said twirling me.
"This is nothing." I said laughing. "I laid out a nice suit of my dads that you can wear." I said to Noah as he walked upstairs.

"Are you sure? I can just text my dad to bring me one of mine."

He owned more than one tux? I thought to myself. My insides did a little Jump. "Yes, I am sure."

He came down and looked as handsome as ever. I kissed him and we headed out the door to the 8 am church service. We arrived at 7:50 and tried to find his parents. We searched for two minutes and finally found them in the sixth row chatting with an elderly woman.

"Hi, good morning!" The woman said to us and she passed by.
"Good morning!" We both responded back.

Paige and Payton were already off to Sunday School while Noah and I took our seats next to Mr. And Mrs. Robinson.

We sang all my favorite Christian songs during the service. And coincidentally the sermon was about forgiveness... But I still wasn't sure if I should forgive Celia. That's all I was thinking about throughout the whole service. Church ended around 9:25. Noah took me back home, where my mom was sleeping on the couch. We were very quiet so we didn't wake her. I went searching for Summer, who I didn't find.

"Summer's still not home" I said to Noah. He sat on my bed.

"Are you worried?" He asked me.

"I'll call her." I took out my phone and found a message from her from about 2 am:

"Shay, Shay... I'm scared. We're at this concert and people are rioting and I don't know what to do. I'm trying to get out of here but there's so much shoving and" -- *few seconds pause* "AHHH!!---"

"What happened?!?" Noah exclaimed.

"I'm calling her." I said worriedly. Someone answered the phone. "Hello?!? Summer??"

"This isn't Summer, this is Joanna. One of Summer's friends. I've been trying to reach her mother. But she didn't answer, I tried calling you a bunch but your phone was off. Come to the hospital quick!! Summer's been injured!!"

"On my way!" I quickly said and hung up the phone.

"What's going on?" Noah asked all confused.

"Ill explain in the car. Hurry, get downstairs!" I panicked. We ran downstairs waking Mom up as quickly as possible then we all hopped into Noah's car as he sped out of the driveway and onto the highway.
