It takes time (Girl X Girl)

Chapter 1

It was her. She answered Madison. Madisons heart dropped and she immediantly opened the message.

H: Hey Erin. Yes I'll be okay. Just going through some things at the moment.

She seems nice. Really nice. Madison smiled at her phone and began to type a reply.

M: Okay. Well I'm always here if you need to talk about anything. I'm a good listener.

Madison set up on the edge of her bed and took a drink of her water. She picked up the medication sitting beside her lamp. "You'll be okay without it." She sat it back down in the same place it was before. "No. Take it." She took a long gulp of water and laid back down, ignoring the voice telling her to take the pills. As she laid back down her phone vibrated, but she didnt have time to look at the notification. Madisons mother stormed into her bedroom and started throwing her clothes around. "Where's your Korn tank top?", her mother said. She looked at her mom and eyed her up and down. Her mom looked like some kind of groupie. She was wearing super short jean shorts and no shirt. "That must be why she wants your shirt"
The voices in Madisons head kept messing with her. She didn't know what else to do. She looked at her topless mother and realised that she couldn't deal with it any longer. "Just do i-" Her mind was cut off by her mother waving her hands in front of her face. "Earth to Madison!! Where the hell is the shirt?!" Madison looked at her mother again and quietly and calmly responded, "It's in my dresser Mom. Second drawer." Her mom walked over to her dresser and took it out of her drawer. Another shirt that she would never be getting back. How amazing.
Once her mother left the room, she checked the notification that had came up on her phone. Another message from Hailey.

H: Thank you so much. You seem really nice. Would you mind if I rant to you for a moment? You don't have to respond, but it
might be nice to get it off of my chest.

Madison sat there and thought for a moment. "Could she help me if I help her?" She stared at her keyboard and started typing. Letter by letter and word by word.

M: Of course hun!! Maybe we could talk. Just about some things. You tell me what you need to first. Get it out. I'm here to listen to
anything you need to talk about.

She sat there and waited. "Do it you worthless bag of shit!" She stared at her medication once more and grabbed it fast. She poured a handful and as she was about to take them, her phone vibrated once more. "Just ignore it." She didn't listen to them. She answered the message. Once again it was Hailey. She put the pills back into the bottle and put them right back into the same place as always. Right next to her lamp.

H: Okay. So here it is. Today's just been a bad day. Its not been the best. My girlfriend broke up with me. I was in love with her. I
guess she didn't feel the same way. It hurts. It really does. I'm not sure what else to do anymore. I'm sorry if this is a bother but
thank you for listening anyways.

She knew exactly how this poor girl felt. Heartbroken. Everyone in Madisons life has left her. She has never had a good relationship. Ever. The last relationship that she was in was with this girl named Nataliee. Nataliee took alot from Madison, including her virginity. Madison could never forgive what she did. Ever. After a few minutes of debating on what to say, she began to type again.

M: Well I definitely know how you feel. I'm so sorry that that had to happen hun. You didn't deserve that. No one does honestly.
Just stay strong. Ill be right here whenever you want or need to talk. I normally am always on my phone so I'm free at any time.

She looked at the clock. 10:26 p.m. Not too late. "Be prepared for tomorrow.", another voice said. She knew what that meant. Her mom was going to be very hungover tomorrow morning. At that note, she got up and locked her door. She didn't want her mom walking in again. Last time her mother was drunk, she barged into Madisons room with some guy that threw her against a wall and started making out with her. Madison had to yell for them to realise that they were in the wrong room. Yeah. She definitely didn't want to go through with something like that again.
She heard a bang. Something was broke in the living room. Madison left it be and put her headphones in her ears and started playing music. She continued scrolling through instagram and seen a picture of Nataliee with this boy. His name was Jaron. Yes, it did hurt, but it was over for her and Nataliee. She had no part of being in her life anymore. Yes, Madison got messages from Nataliee every now and then but tried her best to ignore them. Then Madison started thinking about something else. Hailey was a really cute girl. Should she tell her shes really cute? Okay.

M: Hey I just thought that maybe I could let you know you are really cute. Beautiful actually. Just saying.

She was about to hit send when her mind told her "No." She can't risk getting hurt tonight. She slowly erased the text, slow enough to where she could see the letters being traced back one by one. "You can't get hurt again." She finished erasing the text and sat there. Was it too early to develope feelings?
