The Unspoken Truth

Chapter Two

It's been a month and Willow and I are nervous to go back to the college. I pull out my phone and shoot a quick text to Willow *hey do you want me to pick you up or are you driving?* she quickly replied and says * I can pick you up if you want?* I reply and say *yeah sure when are you leaving?* she says *I'm heading our the door now I'll be there in a minute* so I grab my keys and purse and head out the door and lock it. I sit on my porch scrolling through Facebook and I notice something out of the corner of my eye. There was a letter sticking out of my mail box I go and grab it, Willow pulls in and honks her horn. I think nothing of it and toss it in my purse and hop in her truck. I smile at Willow and say "how was ur month off?" She shrugs her shoulders and says "eh nothing too fancy happened, it was kinda boring to be honest." I look back at the road and read the sign it says Woodridge Community College. I sigh and say "I'm scared that I didn't pass..." Willow looks at me and says " Carmen, c'mon you know you did you have A's and B's you couldn't have flunked!" I look at her, smile and hug her "thank you for always being here for me...." she kinda gets red in the face and rubs the back of her neck and says "well of course I love you Carmen..." I smile and say " I love you too, c'mon let's get a coffee and head in." Willow thinks to herself...(idiot she doesn't love you the way you love her.....) Willow gets out of the truck and catches up. I smile and say "what's wrong? Why did it take you so long?" Willow goes "well I was just trying to find my charger....thats all...." I say "are you okay? You seem upset about something" Willow thinks to herself again (god sometimes I hate that she knows me so well) as I stand there watching Willow off in space I just snap her out of it and say "nevermind don't tell me let's just go." As we walk into the building everyone is in the lobby having their own conversations. We walk over to our professors they have our paper if we graduated or not and also another letter... I walk up to my professor and he looks at me with no emotion. I lightly  smile at him and he says "congratulations you passed" a huge smile appears on my face, I'm so happy! He hands me the other letter and I look down and grab it from his hand and I say "What's this about?" He said "it's a note saying everyone has to start moving their things out for the ones who have passed" I look at him and thank him. I go and find Willow, I look over and she was talking to her roommate. I walk over to her with a concerned look on my face and Willow  finishes her conversation "hey I'll see ya later" she turn and looks at me and she says in a soft voice "what's wrong....?" And I say "I passed...." And Willow says "that's great why do you look so sad are you going to miss this place?" And I look at her and say "did you not get the other paper...?" She looks at me questioning What I'm saying I look at her and say " we have to move out... I have no where to go, I  can't go back to my parents I need a better job and get the fuck out of here." She looks at me and says "than let's go" I look at her like she's nuts "go where, there is nowhere to go I'm broke" as I go to walk out to her truck she grabs my shoulder and stops me and says " I have money, I have a bank account I saved up so I could leave after college." My eyes find the floor "are you sure you want to do this?" Willow raises her voice at me "of course that's why I said it!" I look at her in disbelieve, shocked that she yelled at me. I look back down and say "Well we will start packing tomorrow, I'm not in the mood right now" she looks at me with sadden eyes " Carmen I didn't mean..." I cut her off quickly "it's fine I just want to get some sleep" we hop in her truck and it's silent the whole way to my parents house. We pull up to the side of my parents place I look at her thank her and shut the door. She rolls down the window she yells "text me...."  And I slam the door shut and she slowly pulls away. "Wow willow why do you have to be such an idiot" she says to herself. When I walk inside I go straight to my room kick off my boots and jump on my bed. I lay there staring at the ceiling wondering where we are going to go. I look over to my door and my purse is haning there and it clicked I had a letter. I walk over and grab the letter from my purse, I open it and I read *dearest Carmen, if your reading this that means I have passed. I have made a will and you get my house and everything in it. I love you and I'll always be watching over you. You need to go to New York as soon as possible just call this number and my lawyer will be there. ~love grandma.* I drop the paper and text Willow everything, she replied and said *well we got a lot of work to do tomorrow*  I answer her back and say *but I never even knew her it's kinda weird...* Willow texts back  *yeah I guess it is a little weird. But we better get some rest we will figure this all out tomorrow* and at that I lay down and drift off to sleep.
