Polar Opposites

Things Are Starting To Look Up

A week after the incident, I am sitting at home on a Friday. Jack is sleeping over at a friend's tonight so the house is silent. Mom still hasn't come back and it's been a week already. I felt so alone and so isolated from everybody. I turned off the TV and walked into the guest room where Alyssa's things were. 

I scanned the room. The bed was unmade, her cosmetics were untouched and her suitcases laid in the corner of the room. I walked over to the dresser where her makeup was. She had four different types of mascaras and eyeliners, foundation, bronzer and a bunch of lipstick. I looked at a certain pink lipstick that looked similar to the one that she wore on the first day that she came. I popped off the cap and twisted it to reveal that it was indeed the one that she wore. I put some on my lips and rubbed my lips together to get the color on there. I looked pretty good with it on, I had to say. I applied a little bit more and left a lipstick stain on the mirror. I put the cap back on and looked around some more. I saw her phone laying on the nightstand and I figured that I should call her friends to inform them on what happened.

I took the phone in my hands, turned it on and noticed that she had five unread messages. I looked them over. Two were from Bianca, Two were from Kenzie and one was from Darius. I opened the one from Bianca.

Bianca:) - hey gurl 

                  alright then, dont talk to me. whatever

Then I checked the ones from Kenzie. 

Kenzie:) - you must be at Hannah's right now huh?

                  Dawson is in jail!!!!?? O.O omg

Then I looked at the one from Darius. 

Darius<3 - Wow. You dumped me... over text. The nerve of you... fucking bitch. :\ 

I was shocked at the message from Darius so I texted him back furiously.

Just to let you know... the "fucking bitch" is in the hospital right now. She dumped you for someone else and that someone else was ME. She is bisexual and if you don't like that, then piss off. 

I texted her friends letting them know that she was in the hospital and they can visit on Saturdays and Sundays. Bianca was the first to text me back. 

Bianca:) - oh you must be her cousin... what the heck happened to her?! oh and thx for the info. ill visit her on sunday

Two more messages came through. Now it was from Kenzie. 

Kenzie:) - oh my gosh!! i will definitely visit her ! thanks Hannah! but gosh im sad now :( 

                   btw you have some guts to defend my best friend like that.. i cant believe you took a punch for her . <3 

I smiled at the memory. My cheek began to hurt from remembering it but it was a good kind of pain. I did so much for Alyssa and she was grateful for it. I wanted to welcome her back with something sweet. I began to plan everything out. I called aunt Juliet.

"Hello?"

"Hi Juliet"

"Oh hey Hans, what's going on?"

"Nothing just at home.. hey I need some help with knowing Alyssa's favorite things." 

"Sure... like what?" 

"Well... favorite cake flavor, ice cream flavor, certain places she likes.."

"Oh sure! She likes ice cream cake actually. Her favorite flavors are vanilla, cookie dough and strawberry cheesecake. She really likes Minnie Mouse figures I know that... and as for a favorite place? It's the mall." I grab a pen and paper, writing down the things.
