5: Alone

Ed Sheeran- Afire Love

"Darling hold me in your arms the way you did last night"

Maia

I sat on my bed and quietly looked outside my window. My thoughts were flooding inside my brain. It was almost dawn.

*Beep*Beep*

My phone buzzed and I reached to check.
It was an unknown number.

"Hello who's this?"

"Your worst nightmare." Replied the familiar voice.

"Umm..." I said as terror began to take over.

"I'm kidding it's Cade."

"Phew, don't scare me like that. And how'd you get my number?" I asked.

"Max gave me."

I smiled. Max was his closest friend and I had spoken to him a few times.

"So wanna get some ice cream? I'd like to tell you something." Cade said.

'Tell me something?'

"Umm I'd love to meet up I'm still recovering from you know the hangover." I lied.

I didn't want to meet up with him cause I was clearly not in the right mood and I just don't want to get caught up with Brenda and Kendall.

...

The weekend went by quickly and it was already Monday.

I had no idea how I was going to survive the rest of High School without Alison. I was literally alone.

In the Biology class she didn't even sit next to me.
Recess was even worse... I had to sit alone in the cafeteria.

I saw her laughing with some random girls at the corner of the room. I completely brushed it off and acted like I could survive without her.

The darkest hour came before dawn for sure.
Since my glasses were broken, I couldn't participate in sports. I was only able to swim. But Miss Zoë dismissed me earlier since I wasn't too well. I went back to the girls' lockeroom expecting to be alone.

I was in the shower. The lights started flickering. I turned off the water.

"Who's there?"

No response.
The feeling in my gut grew intense so I quickly wrapped my towel around my body and got out of the shower.

The lights flickered again.

"This isn't funny okay, show yourself." I demanded.

"It's me." Said the voice behind me.

I turned and saw none other that Kendall.

"Kendall?"

"Yes. Maia." She said with an angered expression on her face.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Don't act stupid. You slept with my boyfriend." She said moving closer to me.

"What in the world are you talking about?"

"Oh Alison told me everything. And that you even accused me of fucking her man. Haven't you got a life?"

I was flabbergasted.

"Look Cade was with Brenda when I walked in and whatever Alison told you, it's a lie." I barked.

"Cade cheating on me? Please keep dreaming. Ali was right. You're just a miserable loser. You're one of those teenagers who end up commuting suicide and everyone feels pity for you. If I were you I would erase Cade's number from your phone and never talk to him again." She said.

"Well you're not me."

"You're trying to play scary right? Go ask other pathetic girls like you what I've done to them... maybe then you'll know how serious I am. Forewarned is forearmed." She hissed.

When she left, a tear rolled down my cheeks. For some reason sadness took over. I actually thought Cade and I could advance but I guess I was wrong. And now I had to let go of the little progress I had made with him.
Slow progress is still progress right? But now only ashes were left of the little that I had built.

I didn't even have anyone to turn to at this moment. I was all alone. I guess what Kendall said is true. I'm nobody...
