----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Every now and then life throws you a curve ball. Your supposed to be strong. Your supposed to be tough. You shouldnt let anything bring you down. You should keep going. But how can you be strong when your weak?.

You may wonder what kind of curve ball life threw my way, well im happy to tell you all about it... 

My best friend is going through hell, and im not there for her. Cece and i have been friends since we were 5 years old. We have been through so much already. She was always there whenever i needed her.

 When i was 13, my parents decided to split up. It was very hard on me because i didnt see it coming. I thought my parents were happy, i thought they loved each other. but i obvisouly was wrong. 

Turns out my mom was cheating on my dad, and being the wonderful mom that she is, she moved out of the house 2 days after they told me they're getting a divorce. She moved in with a loser who was apparently so irresistible that she had to fuck him on the side. 

My dad started drinking, and he was barely home. Cece was with me through all that. She helped get through it. I wouldnt be who i am today if it wasnt for her. I dont know what would've happened to me if it wasnt for Cece.

And in case your wondering; i havent spoken to my mom since the day she left the house. Its not that i didnt want any kind of relationship with her, because i did. Its just that, as soon as she moved out, she completely forgot that she has A daughter. She wouldnt return  my calls, and she wouldnt let me go see her. So after a while i just gave up, i stopped calling, i stopped waiting and i stopped hoping. She didnt seem to mind though. When people ask me about her, i say that my mom died when i was 13. She is still alive as far as i know, but she's dead to me. 

So you can probably imagine how much it sucks that i cant be there for Cece. I want to be there for her. I want to get in my car, and go see her. Tell her everything's gonna be okay. Tell her that im here and i will make things so much easier for her, like she did for me.

But i cant.

I have to stay away from her. I promised that i would.

I was at work when my phone rang and it wasnt a number i recognize. 

"Hello?" i answered the call. 

"Um hey. Is this Ella Burns?" a manly voice said.

"Yes this is Ella.Who is this?" i asked. 

"Im Alex Holt. Cece's friend. She's staying with me and my dad" he replied.

I froze. Cece...

"Oh yeah, she told me about you. Is everything okay? is she okay?" i asked quickly. Please god let her be okay. The tone Alex is using is freaking me out.

"She's fine. well not really. I mean im really worried about her. she's not doing so good. and i dont know what to do" he said. "Im really sorry if im crossing a line or something, i mean she doesnt know that i called you, and she would kill me if she knew that i took your number from her phone. Its just that im freaking out".

"Why? whats going on?" i almost yelled.

"Look its really hard to talk over the phone about all this. Can we meet? I wont take long i promise" he said anxiously.
