the top of the box

Tyler. does he honestly think he can buy me. I walk over and snatch the note off of the top of the box.

Alaina love,

I know that your day has not been going well but love, everything in this box should turn that around real quick, you should stay home tomorrow and let the bruise heal. I love you sweetie.

P.S. tylers a royal dick and a pain in the arse you deserve better princess.

if tyler didn't send it then who did? I open the box to see a very detailed drawn out picture of me. WOW. this is really good better then tyler ever could. looking into the rest of the box I see all my favorite candy's, and chips, digging deeper I see the divergent series, TFIOS, The Spectacular now, The whole series of teen wolf and a couple of my favorite Disney movies.I use to watch these all the tie with Care, We used to stay home all day and do nothing but watch these. I remeber when we were 8 and we dressed up like disney princesses. I was Belle and she was cinderella, We would go outside And go 'looking for our beast and prince.' to come save us. I laugh at the memory of it all. I take off my uniform. and going into the bathroom connected to my room. taking a shower getting ready for bed. I set the box on the floor deciding to take the notes advice and stay home tomorrow. who needs school am I right. its just a whole bunch of fake as teachers in a big as building with fake as students acting like fake as people. ive been over high school since 8th grade. me and Care have been waiting for it to end for a while now, and for a while ive missed Care but ive treated her like shit. she must hate me. but I really miss her. I miss the late night movies and the sleepovers where all we would do is stay up and just talk. I miss us telling each other everything. I MISS HER. just thinking about it makes me cry. I reach over and grab my phone of the nightstand scrolling threw my contacts hitting her name bringing the phone up to my ear wiping my eyes.

"Hello."

"Care I'm so sorry please don't hate me ive been mad at you for something you didn't know would happen. I know you didn't know that we would go over the bridge. and I more then likely would have gone to that dumb party anyway. I'm sorry that I went up against you for cheer captain just to get you upset I'm sorry that I called you fat and bumped you down from a flyer if you want that back its yours. and I'm sorry that I was one of the worst best friends in the history of best friends. please don't hate me please!!!!!!!!" I start hyperventilating I think I'm having a panic attack and I feel like I cant breathe.

"Alaina calm down I'm on my way okay count with me okay? 1............ 2........ 3............4.............5................. 6...................... 7.........................8........................... 9 ............................10............................... 10.............................. 9 .....................................8.............................. 7 ..................................6 ..........................5 ..............................4 ...................................3 ....................................2 .....................................1 come on Alaina breathe I'm almost there calm down 1...........................2......................3..................................4............................5.....................6................................7...............................8..................................9.......................10" I hear her running up the stairs she come running in my room and I jump into her arms holding her as close as I can get her

"Its okay Al breathe I don't hate you okay I'm right here." she keeps repeating that to me over and over again till I finally calm down. I haven't had a panic attack since after the accident the had me on meds for 3 weeks after that scared I would faint if it got to bad.

"Now that your calm, would you like to explain what the hell happened to your face!" I giggle wiping the tears and smiling at her.

"ive got a lot to catch you up on." I say smiling at her. I hug her one more time before jumping off the bed getting the box of goods that were sent.

I sit down on the bed getting under the covers

"TFIOS or divergent???"

"is that even a question? divergent duh."

I laugh getting up and putting it in, sitting down and getting under the covers. going threw the box getting out the big bag of hot Cheetos and skittles. I snuggle up to her watching the movie and starting to fill her in on all things me. taking breaks from me to let her tell me about her life since the "breakup" once I get to the part about me and tyler I start to think maybe I shouldn't tell her that much, then I look in her eyes and I know that's wrong shes never judge me before why would she start now. I tell her everything how Tyler lied to me about where he was the night of the bonfire, he said he was stuck at home but he was there with vicki I caught them in the woods screwing each others brains out. I beat her ass then tried to leave. that's when I ran into her. after I left her I went to my car to go home but tyler stopped me apparently he was pissed I beat his little hoes ass. we got to talking or yelling and I said somethings I regretted right after but not anymore, he hit me. then tried to trap me there to apologize. when Jeremy found out he was pissed and went after him. and now I'm getting secret gifts. in fact shes eating one of them Everything I finish explaining turning towards her to see shes in tears all of a sudden she pulls me to her holding me tight

"And I wasn't there for you."

"its not your fault its mine and I cant say sorry enough." we calm down, and watch the movie eating our snacks cuddled on the bed slowly falling asleep
