I was sitting at home like normal, watching netflix in my bedroom. It was another boring day at school. Of course when I got home, I was bound to do some work and then relax for the rest of the day. It was already pretty late at night but I continued to stay up and have my eyes glued to the tv screen until I felt like sleeping.

I thought I would just lay here under my blanket for the rest of the night like any other. However, my phone started going off beside me. I picked it up to see who was calling me past midnight.

It was my best friend, Maddy. I thought she must've been as bored as me, just wanting to talk over the phone or ask to go on a late night walk like we do all the time until I actually picked up.

Y - hey mads. what's up?

M - y/n! please! are you busy? i need you!

Maddy was breathing hard and by her tone of voice, she sounded panic stricken and sounded like she had been crying. I immediately started to worry, sitting up in my bed and pausing my tv.

Y - no i'm not. are you okay?

Maddy lightly sniffled before speaking again.

M - can i come over your house? please it's an emergency.

Y - yes of course!

M - thank you so much. i'll see you there okay?

Y - alright. bye.

Maddy hung up on me, leaving me confused, shocked, and worried. I felt a shadow of fear wash over me, leaving me stunned. I couldn't move from my spot on the bed for a moment, thoughts racing through my head. I was worried for Maddy. She never called me like that unless something really bad happened and it sure sounded like that.

I eventually turned my tv off and sat there, curled up in bed, not knowing what to do. I felt anxious. What could have possibly happened to Maddy? Did it involve Nate?

Ever since the whole ordeal with Nate supposedly abusing Maddy, she's become radio silent. She hasn't been speaking to most of her friends and nobody knows how she's feeling. It made me think about her a lot. I tried my best to reach out to her but she's been shutting me out. I know I get to see her everyday and I see she's been neutral and healthy, wearing more oversized, baggy clothes than usual. However, that didn't suppress my concerns. It didn't make me stop thinking about her. Guilt started to creep in my mind. I slowly slid my legs up into my chest and rested my head on my knees. I felt like I let her down. I felt like I should've done something to help her instead of giving her space.
