S.O.S

8.Amanda

the next morning i sat up in my bed early waiting for eva to do her usual routine of walking around my room and us having a long conversation that normally go on for hours until her mum calls us and complains and asks why we still aren't at the shop to work.  (someone should tell her that we don't need to go to work..theres literlly no one ever there.)

Anyway i waited for her preparing the speech in my head. i was gonna break the sad dark news about jay and guide her off him. its for her own good. i got bored of waiting upstairs and went down to get a drink to calm my nerves. just like my father once said before leaving my mother 'alcohol makes things easier to deal with'
i sat down in the living room and continued to wait..i listening to my heartbeat at the back of my throat as to pass time by.

I waited and waited but she didn't show up, i heard her talking in the other room. who was she talking to. i got up and walked over to her room and watched through a crack in the door to see her on her phone talking and laughing just like she used to laugh when she spoke to me....urrgh why am i acting like she has left me, she is probably speaking to some other friend's that will never be as valuable as me....hopefully.

i walked in and waved at her but she looked upset at me.

"okay i got to go set things straight.thanks jay. bye"  she hung up and looked at me. her twinkle was lost and instead i saw a glimmer of desperation, maybe she was desperate for it all to be lies

"okay . im just gonna say it straight out. Amanda did you kiss my boyfriend" she looked down. she is broken and i don't want to break her even more.

"No..why the hell did he say that also what do you mean boyfriend you have know this guy for like a day or so"

"Amanda that day was enough for me to realise my true feelings. are you sure"

"i promise i didn't kiss me. i don't think a day is enough to learn the true side of jay"

"what are you talking about..true side of him"

"okay so did you notice anything weird about him on your 'date' "

"no..actually well he had his necklace and it took him a while to say it his mothers"

"omg he still wears it. did it have a C like for casey"

"what do you mean he still wears it and no apparently its C for Claire 'his mother' "

"its not Claire its casey...my sister"

"okay whats going on"

"okay...eva i love you and i just want whatever best for you do here is the truth. its alot"

"err okay im ready" she took a deep breathe and - the phone rang again

"im sorry amanda..i won't pick up its cool"

"no theres no need please answer. we can talk later, im gonna go to work meet me there yh."

"you alone with my mother..good luck" i giggled and she answered the phone.

"hey sarah, yh im good how about you..."

i left the room with a relief and got dressed for another day of hell.
