All Because Of her || A WenRene Novel

Where Is She? - [Wendy]

The night before was a mess. Irene said some things I'm sure she didn't mean, but she had my phone and was texting Jennie and she didn't wake me up, so I'm sure she cleared up the situation. I roll over to say good morning to her, but she's not there.

I yawn. Did she already wake up? She's probably downstairs eating her breakfast already. I sit up, wiping my eyes. I reach over on my bedside table and get my phone. There's a piece of paper on the phone case. I have a lot of notifications on my phone, too.

I put my phone down and look at the paper. It's a note with Irene's writing on it.

Wendy -

Hi. If you're reading this, you either woke up in the middle of the night or it's the next day. I just want to say I'm sorry for everything I've done to you. Ever since I became friends with you I've made your life worse, bringing drama in and putting so much pressure on you, and I'm sorry for that. I never meant to do anything like that to you, and that's why I figured it would be best if I went away for a bit. Don't come looking for me, please, I don't want to put any more pressure on you. I don't know if you heard this earlier at the hospital, but I said something before I fell asleep on your shoulder. I love you, Wendy. I'm sorry.

- Irene

I stare at the piece of paper. What? What is she saying? This is some sort of sick prank, isn't it? But it's Irene's handwriting, what else could she have done? I unlock my phone and send Irene a text.

W: Where are you?

Instead of a response from Irene, it's an automated message.

I: You cannot send messages to this person.

I wince. Did she block me? She's just hiding in my closet, isn't she? I read the messages I get from the group I have with the others. I scroll up to the beginning of the new messages and the first one is that Irene left the conversation. I read the rest.

Y: Wendy?

Y: You awake?

S: I don't think she's awake

J: Irene said she was sleeping

S: She's just going to have to read all of this in the morning

J: Irene had to go, Wendy

S: They found an apartment somewhere else

Y: It's too far for her to keep coming here, so she's going to a new school

S: Don't be too sad

J: Her cellphone also broke so that's probably why she isn't answering you

I read all the messages. I can feel a lump forming in my throat.

W: Cut the shit

W: where is she?

A minute later, Yeri responds.

Y: she's awake

Y: guys

J: what?
