[I storm down the stairs and head to the front door. My boyfriend, Cole, follows behind me]
Cole- Babe, it’s not a big deal!
Me- Yes, it is! You never make time for me!
Cole- We were literally just hanging out!
Me- Yeah, but you told me to leave so your friends could come over!
[I unlock the door and open it]
Cole- Babe, come on!
Me- Leave me the fuck alone, Cole!
[I leave and close the door. I start running home. When I arrive, I slam the door as I enter. My mom was sitting on the couch]
Mom- Honey, are you okay?
Me-(voice breaking) I’m fine..
[I storm upstairs and enter my room. I slam the door shut and jump onto my bed and cry into my pillow. I hear my mom come up the stairs. I hear a knock on the door]
Mom(muffled)- Honey? Are you alright?
Me- I’m fine.. Leave me alone..
[I hear the door open]
Mom- Talk to me, sweetheart.
Me- I don’t want to talk about it.
Mom- You sure?
Me- Mhm..
Mom- Okay.. Well, I’ll be downstairs if you need me..
Me- Okay..
[She leaves and closes the door. My phone then went off. I grabbed my phone and looked at it. I saw a message from my best friend, Julia]
~~~
Julia: Hey
Me: Hi
Julia: You wanna hang out today?
Me: Not really
Julia: Why not?
Me: I had an argument with Cole
Julia: I’m coming over right now
Me: Julia it’s fine
Delivered~~~
[She didn’t respond so I assumed she was on her way over. I sighed and stuck my face back into my pillow. A few minutes later, I heard the doorbell ring]
Mom- Honey! Julia’s here!
[I didn’t even bother getting up. I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I then heard the door swing open. I looked over and saw Julia standing at the door]
Julia- What did you guys fight about this time?
Me- He’s always cutting our time short for his friends..
[She comes over and sits down on the bed]
Julia- Well, he has to make time for his friends too, you know..
Me- Yeah, but he’s always hanging out with them and doing stupid shit..
Julia- Well, you need to tell him what you want.
Me- I’m trying to! But everytime I try he shuts me down..
Julia- Then you’ve gotta pick yourself and tell him.
Me- Can we talk about something else?
Julia- Oh, yeah! You know how we both love Chapter 13?
Me- Yeah..
Julia- Well..
[She turns around and then pulls out two pieces of paper. I take them and look closely at them. My eyes widen]
Me- No way!
Julia- Yup! I got my mom to get us tickets to their gig!
Me- Oh my gosh!
[I start jumping up and down on my bed]
Me- When is it?!
Julia- This Saturday.
Me- We need to go shopping then!
Julia- Right now?
Me- Yeah!
Julia- Alright. What about your eyes though?
Me- Oh, yeah..
[I get down from my bed and go to my bathroom. I look at my face and see my red eyes. I take my makeup bag and use some makeup to make my eyes look normal. I then go back into my room where Julia is on her phone]
Me- Let’s go, Juls.
Julia- Mkay.
[Julia stands up as I grab my purse. Then we head downstairs]
Me- Mom! We’re going shopping!
Mom- Okay! Don’t be out too long!
Me- Okay!
[Julia and I head out of the door]
