I walk over to the table, focused on balancing my cereal, laptop and phone. I could take off from work Friday and fly back Monday morning. Do I really think Sam is going to give me extra days off. Pfft-      I can't go.

There's no way he'd give me those days. I bet everyone from high school will be there. Liv hung out with everyone.  But I have a therapy session Monday at 7. I'd have to fly back Sunday. Selena, I wonder if she'll be there. What happened between her and Mr.Styles.

I can ask, the worse he can say is no. Maybe this trip is what I need. Dr.Miller wants me to be a social butterfly then so be it.
What about Johnny? I need to know how he is considering Tommy has taken a turn.

[sigh] How much are plane tickets? As I sit everything down, I eat a quick scoop of cereal. I look up tickets for a round trip to Michigan and my hopes of going quickly get depleted. "Thirteen hundred!" That's ridiculous. I leave the site to try another, only to receive the same results. "Come on" I groan as my face drops into my hands. [phone rings]

I swipe to answer, keeping one hand over half my face

I swipe to answer, keeping one hand over half my face. "Yeah?" No hiding the defeat in my voice. There's a pause causing me to check my screen. "Yeah? Uh hi to you too" Sasses Victoria. "Hi Vee" my drab, slow voice lazily strung together. "What's wrong?" My arm plops on the table as I groan out of annoyance.
"I'm a broke bitch"
"Everyone is"
"No like seriously. I can't afford plane tickets back home for Livs wedding."

"Why are you buying them so late, invites went out 6 months ago. Flights were so cheap."

I roll my eyes eating another scoop of cereal.
"My mail got mixed up with my neighbors. Apparently he doesn't check is mail often."  It's hard to stay calm at this moment. All I want to do is to beat Jared upside the head.  He's such a idiot. Cute but a idiot. "Keep looking, you'll find something cheaper"

"Ok-  Do you think everyone will be there?" I practically whisper.  Victoria quickly picks up on the real question. "You mean do I think Johnny and Tommy will be there?" Judging by her tone, she doesn't approve. My head drops, a little disappointed. "Never mind"
"I know they're going to be there. Liv is marrying Bethany"
