The Summer of Ryland

1. Pity Party

 Eliza's POV  

Asia was over at my house. It was mid-June and I didn't do anything all day, but I was still tired. She laid on my floor looking through her Instagram feed and I was browsing on my laptop.

"I'm bored," she complained, rolling back and forth on my carpet. Grunting, I got up from my bed and joined her on the floor. She started playing with my puffs and I started getting irritated. I hate when people touch my puffs but I was too exhausted to say anything. 

The breakup took a toll on me. I barely had any energy to get through the days. I stayed in my bed all day, only to get up to eat, use the bathroom, and clean up myself. I was a complete mess. My mother just excused my behavior as laziness and my brothers were no longer around to notice anything. They went on a road trip with their friends for their last summer before University. The only person who knew about my current emotional situation was Asia.

She was the only good thing that resulted from the breakup. We became friends again. Good friends not best friends. We understood that we needed better communication as friends and not let past stuff get in the way of our future. She realized it was stupid of her to get mad at me for dating her kindergarten boyfriend. Like, she didn't really know what a boyfriend was anyway. I realized that I did leave her for Kai. He was the first boyfriend I ever had. And I fell madly in love with him in a very short time which is really weird now that I think about it. But nevertheless, we are doing good wallowing in our pity and sadness together.

"Let's do something. Let's go out," Asia suggested, nudging me in my arm with her skinny elbow. Pulling away from her, I rubbed my arm.

"Ouch, that hurt," I whined.

"Sorry," she smiled, "I just think we should stop the pity party while we are at it. It's not healthy. I am trying to be your friend again and this is what good friends do."

"What?" I asked.

"Get you off your sorry little behind!" Asia got up and started pulling me off the floor. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out of my room. I was getting frustrated. 

I pulled my hand away from her and looked at her in anger. I didn't want to do anything. 

"No," I stated.

"Okay. Since you are clearly not ready today I will come back later tomorrow. Be ready," She turned her back and left. Sighing in relief I went back to my bed. I was safe...for now.

With nothing to do, I started searching up what to when you are bored. I was left with nothing and started browsing Instagram. An ad came up for another app. It was promoted by someone I was following. Rant. This should be interesting.
