There is Still Hope

31

"WhA-what?" I asked clearly shocked.

"Sarah, did you not hear when we YELLED IT TO YOU!" I widen my eyes.

"No I'm saying it like I can't believe it. I mean Lexi and Stephanie, there still single." I explain.

"Oh." Laila looks down.

An awkward silence is broken when my phone begins to ring. The caller is unknown and I think that it is Troy, so I answer it. I motion down to my phone then back up to them.

"Get it." Zayn whispers.

"Ok I'll be back." I smile.

I answer the phone and hear no one on the other line.

"Hello?"

"Hi." a cheery voice says.

"Uh, who is this?" I ask.

"Man! Remember me from yesterday?"

"Nope. should I?"

"Yeah! Your name was Archie Hershel right?"

"No, I'm a girl." I say disgusted.

"Oh." his voice is low now.

"Wrong number you dipwad!" I yell and hang up.

I walk back to Laila and Zayn.

"I think I should go home now." I say bummed out.

"Ok I'll go take you back to your house." Zayn says stretching his arms.

"Thank you." I say.

As soon as I get home, I change into Sofee shorts and a t-shirt. I walk into the kitchen to make some chicken. I sing to myself because I'm that bored.

"Chicken chicken, ggRRRiIIlLLEEEddd chicken." I say that a lot of times until it's ready.

"Chicken chicken, ccHHHiIICCCKkKKNN is READY!" I yell to no one.

I sit at the table and eat.

"OH NO! I DIDNT MAKE MAC AND CHEESE! AHHHHH THIS DINNER IS NOW TERRIBLE!!!!!"

I sigh and continue eating. I get another call from another unknown number. I carefully pick up my phone and answer it.

"Hello?"

"Sarah, right? this is Troy." I take the food out of my mouth and continue talking.

"Oh, hi. How did you get my number?" I ask.

"The hospital." he answers.

"Speaking of, do you know how Harry is?" I ask not trying to be nosy.

"Yeah... that's actually the reason why I called you in the first place." I get nervous and take a deep breath.

"How is he?" I ask partly crying.

"He is gonna live." my grip loosens on the paper towels and I smile, cheer, and jump around.

"Sarah!" he yells.

"Sorry. When can he come back home?"

"In one month."

"Why so late?"

"We wanna make sure that he is still safe and we'll have to explain a couple of things to him." he assures.

"Oh ok. Thank you. Bye!" I say.

"Bye!" he says right before I hang up.

Since I have nothing to do and I know that Harry is safe, I FaceTime Steph because I haven't in a while. I call her once and she doesnt answer like always. I call her again and this time she does.

"heyy." She says with a big smile on her face.

"Why are you so happy?" I mumble.

"I just went to starbucks."

I laugh. "did you go with Zayn?"

"Yep."

"You little white girl. and you didn't even invite me. That's the part that hurts the most." I fake cry.

"Stephanie went too."

"BUT DID I?!" I joke around.

"Hahaha no."

"I didn't think so."

"Bye I'm going to the mall now." she says. and hangs up.

"Really?" I mumble to myself. " I wanna go shopping, but not for clothes, or shoes. But for a cat or a dog. No, I want a cat!" I squeal and grab my keys and head to the pet shop.

As I park I get super excited. Even though I am allergic to them, there just too cute! I walk in and bells jingle above the door to the small and empty shop. I walk around looking for the laziest cat they have when someone approaches me.

"Do you need any help ma'am?" the guy ask.

"Yeah, I'm looking for your laziest cat."

"That would be tater." he points to a cute male orange tabby kitten. He has the cutest personality and is very sweet and affectionate, very lazy and just plain dont care. His personality is just like Garfield.

"I'll take him." I say with the small kitten in my hands.

"Would you like a scratching post and a bed?" he ask.

"Yes please." I get one of each and he checks the items out.

"That would be $97.63" I whistle.

"It's actually not a lot for all of this." He says and sniffles.

"Oh, ok." I smile.

I take Tater back home and set up all of his things. "Alrighty mister, your all good now." he hides in a corner and I pick him up in my hands.

"Hey it's okay, I'll love you."

meow

"Aww your a cutie pie"

I set him down in his bed and I lay in mine. I feel something climb onto the bed and I open my eyes to see Tater laying right by me.
