Aniyah: remind me to never go partying ever again *laughs*

Grayson: but it was fun, you really are a party girl

Aniyah: alcohol just gets me out of my comfort zone

Grayson: yeah i get it, but I'm not much of a drinker

Aniyah: oh well

Grayson: so how's life at home?

Why'd you have to ask that Grayson? Now I have to lie to you...

Aniyah: it's going pretty well

Grayson: anything new?

Yes. I just found out why my parents got divorced 7 fucking years ago.

Aniyah: not that I'm aware of

Aniyah: how about u?

Grayson: well my sister is coming back home soon, you can meet her

Aniyah: wait, I thought you only have sisters?

Grayson: i do, i HAD a brother...

Aniyah: what do you mean, had?

Aniyah: oh my god... i'm so sorry

Grayson: it's fine, you didn't do anything

Aniyah: i-i have to go, i love you

Grayson: i love you more

I hung up, threw my phone down on the bed, and ran downstairs.

*****

My doorbell rang and I sprung up from my chair. I ran to the door and opened it, to find Havah.

Aniyah: hey, what brings you here?

Havah: we need to talk

She walked in, pushing past me, slamming the door shut.

Aniyah: about what?

Havah: why did you walk in with Adym yesterday?

Aniyah: when i was walking to school, he saw me and decided to walk with me

Havah: didn't I tell you to stay away from him?

Aniyah: why should I?

Havah: HES A DRUGGIE, ANIYAH!

Aniyah: all he does is smoke cigarettes, and he really is a sweet boy

Havah: what're you talking about? ANIYAH!

Aniyah: just because he's my friend, doesn't mean I'm gonna be exactly like him, and what did he do to you!

Havah: ITS EITHER ME OR HIM!

I couldn't believe what she just said. What is she doing?

Aniyah: I WOULD RATHER HAVE A FRIEND THAT LETS ME HAVE OTHER FRIENDS, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Havah: I NEVER SAID THAT

Aniyah: That's what you're saying right now!

Havah: pick one. me or him.

Aniyah: GET OUT!

I pointed towards the door and she stormed out. I locked the door behind her and ran up to my room. I laid on my bed and started crying my eyes out.

What did I do?

*****

I stood up, admiring the sunset. It was beautiful. But the world sure wasn't.

I made my way home, trying to distract myself.

This past week has been.... ugh.

It sucks.
