I woke up the next morning with a headache from all the yelling I did last night. I groan and slowly unravel myself from my blanket. I walked into my kitchen and grabbed a glass of water. I regretted more of the things I said today. I was so rude! I hear a knock on my front door and I trudged over to the door. I was Sarah and Jackie both looking excited when they saw me. I was still extremely tired and didn't comprehend much.
"Hi?" I questioned.
"So?" Jackie asked and wiggled her eyebrows to me with a smirk.
"So, what?" I asked confused.
"You and Alton! What happened last night?" Sarah asked. I groaned and let them in.
"I don't wanna talk about it. What about you girls? You went on a date with Jeremy and Mark." They sat on the couch and I returned to the kitchen for my water.
"It was just the movies. But you were with Alton!" Sarah yelled to me. I come and sit next to them and sighed.
"What happened last night?" Jackie asked with concern on her face now. She must have caught on to my mood now.
"We're not combatable." I said and Sarah frowned.
"Why? Do you guys like different things because opposites attract." Sarah said and I covered my face with my hands.
"No, I said a lot of terrible things and it didn't end well last night." I said not looking at them
"You do know he's the mayor's son?" Jackie questioned and I groaned.
"He's still a person, but that's not why I'm upset about what happened." I looked at the ceiling and sighed.
"Was he rude to you?" Sarah asked and I shook my head.
"I was so curl as I expressed my opinion on him." I laid down on Jackie's lap and she start to play with my hair and Sarah lifted my feet onto her lap as away to comfort me in my regret stage.
"What did you say?" Jackie asked and I hide my face from them.
"It doesn't madder, what's done is done." I hear a ding come from Sarah and then I hear her speak up.
"I just got a text from Mark." I groan and grab the sofa pillow beside Jackie and covered my face.
"You have his number?" I mumbled under the pillow.
"He says Alton seems really pissed off today. What did you say?" She said completely ignoring my question.
"Why's he angry?" Jackie asked me and I held the pillow closer to my face hoping it would suffocate me now and I could just be done with all this.
"I sent a text." I hear Sarah say. I groan and roll off the couch on to the carpet. My face was still covered by the pillow and I sat screaming into the pillow. I needed a good relief of stress.
"Talk to us Layla! What happened?" Jackie said. I slowly removed the pillow from my face and held it tight to my chest.
"I said so much I don't think I can recite everything."
"You can try. Now go!" I told them of everything I could recall from last night and I felt even worst when I saw the look on my friends face."Layla, no! You did not say that!" Sarah said in disbelief. I cover my face in the pillow again.
"I did!" I scream into the pillow.
"Layla!" Jackie said and we all just groaned together. I had really said all those things and I don't have a time turner from Harry Potter! We hear Sarah's phone go off again and we all go silent and stare at her as she picked her phone up.
"It's from Mark!" She said all anxious now.
"Don't read it!" Jackie said and I just continued to scream into the pillow.
"He wants to know what happened last night Alton won't tell them." Sarah franticly read.
"I told you not to read it!"Jackie yelled at her. Both my friends were now as anxious as me.
"Do I tell him?" She asked.
"No!" Both Jackie and I said.
"What do I say?"
"Nothing!" I yelled at her. She just shakes her head.
"I can't do that! It probably already says read. He'll know we know!" I screamed more into the pillow. I was feeling a lot more anxious about everything with my friends feeling the same way.
"Tell him Layla won't tell us either!" Jackie came through with our solution.
"But isn't that lying?" Sarah asked.
"Who cares?" Jackie franticly yelled. I could feel the stress and anxiety radiating off of them which made me feel even worst. I rolled over onto my stomach with the pillow still in front of my face.
"But-" Sarah tried to protest.
"No buts! This is for our own sanity!" Jackie screamed at Sarah. Sarah nodded and sent the text. "What do we do now? Do we move to Mexico? Or Canada?" Jackie asked franticly.
"Guys you aren't helping!" I yell at them and they look to me as I'm freaking out on the ground. They both take a deep breath and calm down which actually made me feel a bit better.
"You're right. We need to tone it down. But what are you going to do now?" Sarah said and I sat up on the ground.
"I'm going to move on. There's absolutely nothing I can do now. Like I said what's done is done!" I stand up with the help of my two best friends and they give me a smile.
"You call if you need anything, okay?" Jackie said and I nodded. They left after they helped me calm down a bit more. We completely lost it just now. Our anxiety got the best of us. I take a deep breath to help my own sanity. My head hurt a lot more now but all the screaming I just did actually did help a lot with the stress I had. I do my daily routine but with a lot of regret in the back of my mine. I wonder, what rock is the best to hide under?
