EMILY

Who should I call?

Someone who can actually help and advice me with what I should do..

Jane? No, she'll freak out.

Ruby? Oh, she'll cry a river and drown me in it.

Zack? He's like a little brother to me.

Zedd? Oh boy, he is out with family

Alex?.........
Alex.

Outgoing call... Alex

"Hey, Alex.." I started as soon as he picked the call up.

"Hellooo Emms, how are you?" He sang coolly. I just realised I have loads of nicknames.

"I'm ok how are you?" I asked him in a low voice, I felt horrible after the breakfast today. I lost my appetite and mood to study but I somehow managed to complete my studies not wanting to score low.

"Hey, you sound nearly dead. Everything alright?" NOO! I'M MAD, WORRIED, SAD, DISTURBED.

"Yeah, everything's fine...Just a little sick." I lied.

"Oh no sherlock, wait for me, I'm there in 5" with that he hung up on me.

That's why I love him. I mean I adore him. No they all sound wrong. I really appreciate his presence in my life is what I meant. He is like a typical best friend, nothing more, nothing less.

Ding Dong Ding Dong

"Coming!!!" I ran downstairs tripping and stumbling and successfully reaching the front door.

Melly and Danny were out with mom and dad for shopping, they wanted me to come along but I just waved them off saying I had to study alot so they didn't insist me.

I peeped through the peep hole just to make sure it was Alex and it was him.

Phew.

"Omg you literally took 4168 years to open the damn door. Are you ok?" He bursted in, as soon a I opened the door and gave me a tight hug.

I hugged him back, resting my head on his chest, not replying to anything he said.

We stood their together for 5 minutes hugging each other. I pulled myself back and looked at him.

"Sssshhh. Don't cry. I'm here with you, you know that don't you?" he said, wiping of the flood away from my face. I didn't even know I was crying.

"So you're hungry, aren't you?" He asked walking inside the kitchen. I just nodded when he looked at me and smiled like a guardian angel.

"Can you please give my ears the true bliss, just by speaking a few words when I ask you something?" I just stared at him blankly, He walked closer to me and again hugged me.

"Everything will be alright. You are my strong and brave girl. Okay?" He spoke smoothly in my ear and pulled away.

"Thank you so much Alex. I really needed that." I finally managed to speak, and smile at him. He returned a brighter smile and walked to the cupboard looking for ingredients to cook.

"So where is the flour?" He asked, shifting the containers.

"It's on the right corner" He pointed at the right side. "Yeah, the blue one." he grabbed it down.

"So what are you cooking for me?" I asked, leaning on the counter.

"I'm gonna make your favourite chicken Lasagna and some cinnamon rolls. Mind me? "
