I've Been Locked In The Bedroom Since Last Night. It's 6 Pm And I Have Not Come Out Of This Room Since. Michael Thinks He Did Something Wrong And I Hate To Have Him Think That But Right Now I Don't Know How To Feel. I Didn't Want To Make Things Awkward But I'm So Awkward And Weird I Can't Help It. A Knock At The Door Interrupted My Thoughts.

"Drea Please Talk To Me, I'm Sorry."

The Muffled Sound Of His Voice Came Through The Door. Still I Didn't Move.

"Look, I'm Gonna Leave For A Little, Im Leaving You Some Food Downstairs...."

I Waited For A Moment Then I Heard His Car Door. I Got Up From The Bed And Went To The Window Peeping Out, Seeing Him Drive Out Of His Gate And Watching The Gate Close.

I Peeped Out The Room As If I Was In Somebody Spy Movie. I Stopped And Thought About It. Bitch You Just Saw Him Leave. I Walked Downstairs And Straight Into The Kitchen Seeing 5 Guys On The Counter. My Face Lit Up Like Neon Lights. I Opened The Bag And Pulled The Food Out. As I Was Eating I Heard A Loud Ahem Behind Me. I Turned Around With My Burger In My Mouth, Seeing Sterling With His Arms Crossed And A Highly Amused Look On His Face.

"Looks Like Someone Came Out Of Their Room. Don't Say Nothing Either, I Already Know The Story."

I Became Super Embarrassed. He Came Into The Kitchen And Sat Down Across From Me. I Put My Burger Down.

"Why Are You Ignoring Him, What Happened."

"Sterling I'm Not About To Tell You That. Especially For You To Go Back And Tell Him."

"So It Wasn't Good?"

"I Didn't Say That."

"So It Was."

"I Didn't Say That Eith- Sterling Stop!"

He's Threw His Hands Up In Defense. I Dropped My Head In Shame.

"I Don't Know What I'm Doing. My Last Boyfriend Was When I Was 16. Things With Him Didn't Go So Well Either. I Opened My Heart To That Boy And He Tore It To Shreds." I Looked At Sterling Who's Eyes Never Left Me. "I Tried Talking To This One Guy When I Was 19 But Found Out All He Wanted Was Sex. My Confidence Isn't Up There And When Things Happen Like Last Night, I Shut Down. I Don't Try To But I Just Do."

"Drea, He's Not Like That. And I'm Not Just Saying That Because He's My Best Friend. You Gotta Let Him Know These Things. He Won't Know How To Work With You Unless You Work With Him."

I Nodded.

"I Won't Say Anything Though. I'll Let You Talk To Him But Drea, Talk To Him." He Said The Last Part In A Stern Voice.

After He Left I Went Upstairs And Grabbed My Speaker And Phone. I Went Into Michael's Backyard And Sat In The Middle Of It With My Legs Criss Crossed. Imaginary Friend By Tove Lo Played Once I Put My Music On Shuffle.

I Laid Back Listening To The Song. I Used To Have This Imaginary Friend When I Was Younger Named Lele. My Siblings Were Around But Not Enough For Me To Not Feel Alone. They Are Considerably Older Than Me So I Didn't Hang Out With Them Coming Up.

Lele Was My Bestfriend And It Wasn't Until 8 Grade That I Let Her Go. I Didn't Really Make Friends Till I Got To Highschool. That's Where I Met Marcus, Ana And Keena.
