I looked up from reading the three texts I received not five minutes ago as Brent slid in and handed me my straight black coffee I had sent him in for, hey I needed caffeine; besides I didn’t want Bryce to see me looking so haggard, he would ask questions and that’s something I can’t afford at the moment. “Thanks.” I mumbled and took a sip, scrunching my nose at the bitterness of the black liquid; I hated the taste of straight coffee but I needed to focus and this is the only way I can do it, I sighed and looked at my phone again before shutting it off completely and dropping it in my purse. “You got any plans for today?” I asked Brent, I stopped at a red light then glanced at him as he took a sip of his own drink.
“No, why?” He asked, I looked forward and stepped on the gas as I headed back to my condo.
“Cuz you’re spending the day with me to figure out this mess.” I told him.
“Okay wait, wait. I told you what?” I asked, it’s been over two hours since Brent and I had arrived at my condo and I feel like my head is gonna burst at any minute.
“That your boyfriend just broke up with you and your friends couldn’t make it.” He repeated, I scribbled it down on a piece of paper then looked back up to run my fingers through my already tousled hair.
“Fuck!” I cursed, the phone rang then; I looked at it then ran my hands down my face in frustration. “Don’t answer that.” I said without looking at Brent to know he was reaching for the phone, we waited then heard the beep of my answering machine.
“Bella? Bella, you there?” It was Taylor’s voice, I sighed and looked at the answering machine. “C’mon babe, please pick up. Look, we’re all just worried about you. Just call someone, let us know you’re okay. Baby please, call me… Please...” He voice cracked as he ended the voice mail the same time my vision blurred, I looked at Brent the same time a lone tear escaped; he frowned then used his thumb to brush it away, I swallowed hard then took a shuddering breath. It was silent for a long time before I spoke up.
“Uhm, could you come back here tomorrow? I’m tired and I think I’m just gonna go to bed.” I lied, after hearing that voice mail I knew sleep would be impossible; Brent only nodded then stood and let himself out, I sniffled then pulled my knees up and hugged them to my chest. How has my life gone from nothing to great to exciting to amazing to hell? I sighed then rested my head on my knees, the only thing I would ever take back in my life was meeting Lane; he was the worst mistake of my life, and now he’s stalking me just like he did in high school. I took a shuddering breath as I thought of Taylor’s message then my lip trembled as my eyes started to sting, I stood and turned off the lights before making my way to my bedroom; I barely had time to lay down on my side on the bed before my tears spilled over, my body shook as I sobbed. Taylor, my best friend, and her boyfriend were all worried about me. Lexy was worried, which made Taylor worried; which made Justin worried, and it was all my fault.
