The voices

The story begins

On Ana's 16th birthday, a year after the 5th voice arrived she had a party. It wasn't a big deal, just having a few of her friends over to stay the night but Ana still had one of the best times of her life.

The next afternoon, after all of her friends had left, Ana got sick.

She wasn't regular sick, she was a different kind of sick. How was she sick? Well, the voices were having a battle in her head.

When the voices battled, Ana's head ached and pounded. Her whole body felt like it was on fire and she could barely move. That's why she hated conflict so much, because she knew the voices would battle. But the question is:

What were they battling over?

Well, earlier she had had a fight with her best friend, Becca.

They were on Ana's bed after the party when they started arguing over when they should hang out because Becca was always with her boyfriend, Chance who was obviously cheating on her with their arch enemy, Tessa.

She had asked "wanna hang out tomorrow?" Becca had said " I'm meeting chase at 6 and I have to look amazing so no" Ana said "Monday?" Becky tossed her shiny long brown hair, rolled her big brown eyes and finally said "you know me and chance always have "study" dates on Mondays silly!" Doing air quotes at study. Under her breath, Ana said "Of course you do" and rolled her big green  eyes which were beginning to water at the thought of loosing her best friend. Becca asked her what the problem was and she hesitated but decided to tell her.

Heart racing, she took a deep breath and explained to Becca what the problem was. When she was done explaining about feeling left out and as though she had no friends any more Becca rubbbed her back and said "I'm sorry you feel that way" Ana felt her heart slow down, thinking Becca had changed her mind. She was so wrong.

Becca continued with  " But it's not my fault you're an ugly looser who can't find a guy so instead follows her childhood friend around like a lost puppy."

They sat in silence for a minute. Ana, already crying, tears streaming down her face even though she tried to stop them, finally spoke and said " I'm sorry for being a loyal person who just wants to hang out with her friend. Maybe one day you'll understand but for now just get the hell out of here." Becca stared at Ana for a few seconds. She opened her mouth said "I" but then closed it again. Finally she stood up, flipped her hair and walked out, swaying her hips. But not before she showed Ana a nice angle of a certain finger.
