Exhale - Sabrina Carpenter

18

It's been a few days since the fight and the dinner.

Sabrina is sitting on her bed, sorting through some things. She is kinda upset about the way things went down with James, Sabrina and Chris. Chris and James were best friends. She knew he said some things about her that were very offensive, but Sabrina thought she knew why.

Flashback

James, Sabrina and Chris sat in James' toon playing video games.

"Gotta go take a piss." James said, getting up.

"Yeah actually I need to get a glass of water." Sabrina said, getting up after James.

They both exited the room, leaving Chris alone with his thoughts.

Shortly, Sabrina walks down the hall with her water towards James' room. She hears a voice thinking out loud. It's Chris' voice. She looked down the hall and saw the bathroom door still closed, meaning James is still in the bathroom.

She stepped closer. She knows she shouldn't be eavesdropping but she heard hers and James name.

"He shouldn't be with her, he should be with me." She heard. Wait, he?

Sabrina's mouth drops open slowly.

"I want James, why does Sabrina get him, that's not fair."

End of flashback.

She decides to text Chris.

Sabrina: we need to talk

Chris: why would you wanna talk to me?

Sabrina: cause I think I know something about you

Chris: wdym?

Sabrina: just meet me, I'm free at 3pm

Chris: ok fine, come to my house

Sabrina: ok

Sabrina put her phone down. She sighs.

*knock* *knock*

"Yesm?" She says.

The door opens and her mom enters, closing the door behind her.

"We need to talk." She says. She sits on the bed.

"Okay, about what?" Sabrina asks with confusion. Her mom never came in to talk to her like this.

"Sabrina, are you and James sexually active?"

Sabrina widens her eyes. "Mom what? Why would you ask that?"

Her mom looks at her with concern. "Are you?"

"Y-yes, why?" Sabrina asks, stuttering. She doesn't know why she told her that, something that only mothers can do, get the answer out of you.

Her mom shakes her head in concern and sighs. "I don't think you should be."

Sabrina frowns. "Why?"

"Sabrina, you hardly know this guy. And plus, you're too young."

Sabrina's mouth drops open. "I know James very well actually. I love him very much. And mom, I am an adult. I don't need your approval for things anymore." Sabrina gets up and walks towards the door. "I'm sick of everyone telling me what to do or say or think."

"Sabrina i don't want you to have kids right now, you're too young."

"I'll have kids if I wanna have kids right now, and I'll be doing it with James." Sabrina walk out of the room. Even though she actually didn't want kids right now, she just needed to make her mom realize that she can't be told what to do.
