Chapter 15

I smiled as I heard the familiar ring of Zach's  ringtone. 

"Hello you have reached pizza hut how may I help you?" I answer giggling. 

"Hi, yes I would like a large pepperoni pizza with a 2 liter of Dr.Pepper please," I smiled as he played along like he always does. Every time we talk one of us comes up with a weird way to pick up the call.

"Would you like to deliver or carry out?" 

"hmm delivery please," I laughed throwing my head back. "Well either way you would have to come pick it up,you know cause I'm blind" I tease.

"well as long as I get to see you I'm good," I laughed again,shaking my head. I missed him so much.  We have only talked since that day in the park. It has been a month since then. We both want to hang out again soon. I think it is safe to say that we both want to see each other again in person. 

I consider him my best friend. Speaking of best friends Callie, Alex, and I have not talked since that day. I was,well still am, upset with them. They haven't even tried to contact me,and that hurts because we used to be so close. I know I have changed since the accident, how could I not? But I thought that we were closer than that. I guess not. But life cant always go the way we want it to. All I wanted for my birthday was to see my sister and my best friend again. Be careful what you wish for. Yes I got to see them again, and at first it was great! I really thought things could go back to the way things were. But I know now that that is not going to happen. I guess this time we all changed and those changes caused a rift in our bond that I'm not sure can be fixed. 

"Earth to Alice! Alice. Hello? Can you hear me?" I jumped and shook my head trying to clear my thoughts. 

"Yeah yeah I'm here," he sighed.I can picture him shaking his head. "You were thinking about them again." He stated. I couldn't even deny it. It happens more times than I would like. 

"You caught me," I giggle. 

"You should reach out to them. Tell them how you feel," he suggested once again. I shook my head. "Your shaking your head aren't you? Look I know we have been through this time and time again, but what kind of friend would I be if I didn't encourage you to do something about it?" he questioned. I sighed, I know he is right but at the same time why should I have to be the one to reach out first? I'm the one who was left alone at the park. They say to forgive and forget, and I know that's what I need to do, but I keep thinking what if something happened to me when they left? I know it's not good to think about the what if's and I try not to. 

"maybe, we'll see. But it is not going to happen today." I changed the subject. "So. When are we gonna hang out again? Because phone calls are just not cutting it anymore. And I'm going a little stir crazy being in the house so much." He laughed. 

"Well if you aren't doing anything this weekend maybe we could hang out on Saturday?" Well today is Tuesday so I guess that could work. But that's still a long ways away. Ugh, I guess I'll take what I can get. "Sounds perfect." I could almost see the smile on his face when he said "Great, can't wait," which of course put a smile on my face. 

"Alright I got to go love my mom needs me," I sighed. I didn't want him to go, but it is what it is. "Okay, talk to you soon. Bye Zach." 

"Bye Alex," I tapped my fingers on my stomach and sighed. What to do, what to do. Sitting up I called Shadow over to me.  "Come on girl, let's go down stairs," I feel around for her collar and pet her head with my other hand. "Good girl," I whisper as we slowly make our decent down the stairs. I followed the sound of the voices I heard coming from the kitchen.
