CPR

Chapter 8

I was in the bed smiling hard at my phone looking at tyun on FaceTime. She was playing the game and I was just staring admiring her like always.  Me and tyun have gotten close over the past month. We would FaceTime almost everyday and fall asleep on the phone at night. At work I would always say slick stuff to her and bother her on purpose. I always got excited when we worked together. About 3 weeks ago I got into an altercation again with someone in the drive thru at work. I was told I was on my third strike and if it happens again I will be terminated. I didn't really care though I was tired of that job and the mistreatment. People were so rude to us for no reason and the mangers didn't know how to talk to us. I wasn't about to put up with that when they wasn't paying me enough anyways. I got up and went in the kitchen walking right pass my bestfriend. We haven't spoken to each other in a week. The last time we actually had a heart to heart moment or any type of bestfriend moment at all was a month ago when she was acting weird and commented under me and lavae's picture.

              Flashback...
I finished closing down the lobby and got ready to leave. I checked my phone and saw a text from my bestfriend. She finally texted me back from earlier when I asked what was funny. She said when I come home we can talk. I locked my phone back and went home... I opened the door and saw Cathy sitting at the table. I took my shoes off at the door step and walked over to her and sat down at the table across from her. "I'm sorry I've been acting different it's just me and my boyfriend have been going through things lately and it's been getting to me. And when I saw that picture of you and Lavae I commented being petty. I saw how close y'all were getting and I felt some type of way." She said honestly looking up at me. I sighed and put my keys on the table, "Cathy we are bestfriends. You know you can talk to me about anything in your relationship that's going on. And yea me and Lavae are getting closer but that doesn't change anything between me and you. We will always have that bond I will always be here no matter what Cathy." I told her. Tears started to form in both of ours eyes. I walked around the table and hugged her, "I don't want to lose you." She said breaking down. "You not." I said as we held each other and cried together.
                End of flashback...

After we had that moment things were good for like a week and then she went back to acting different. It's to the point now where we don't speak to each other any more. It's like having a roommate you barely know. I gave up on trying to clear things up with her. I was done fighting for our friendship. I refuse to put in effort to fix something and the other person clearly doesn't care enough.  I grabbed a few snacks and headed back to my room as I found something on the tv to watch. "What you doing this weekend?" I heard tyun ask over the phone. "Um probably nothing why?" I asked opening my chips. "We going to the movies." She said bluntly as she continued to play her game. I laughed, "So its a date?" I asked smirking at the camera. She looked down at me then back at the game, "I guess." She said. I put her on mute and squealed because I was excited. This will be our first time actually seeing each other outside of work and hanging out. I looked down at my phone and saw her staring at me. I got embarrassed and covered the camera. "Why you put me on mute?" She asked. I took my finger off the camera and took her off mute. "Sorry I had a moment." I said smiling. "Okay." She said going back to the game. I frowned at her but she didn't see me. I hated how nonchalant she acted. She always had a I don't care or whatever attitude but I know she doesn't mean nothing by it that's just the way she is. Me and her were totally opposites but it was something about her that grabbed me attention. I wanted to know more about her but it was like she wasn't allowing me in. Every time our conversations start to get deep she'll either beat around the bush or change the subject. It's like she didn't want me to get close to her and that's all I wanted to do. I wanted her to open up to me.
