The Hard Knock Life

Part 14

I decided to turn my phone back on later that day. Instantly, it was lighting up with notifications and I had to blink back the shock so I could read them all.

10 UNREAD MESSAGES FROM AIDEN

15 UNREAD MESSAGES FROM PERRY

2 UNREAD MESSAGES FROM LEA

20 FRIEND REQUESTS ON FACEBOOK

15 FRIEND REQUESTS FROM INSTAGRAM

200 SNAPS

Uhmm... I thought.

1 UNREAD MESSAGE FROM GRAEME

???

How did Graeme get my number? I thought.

I opened his first.

Where'd you go? I'm starting to miss you

I exited the chat box and opened Lea's:

Hey so what happened, why'd you run out like that?

I know you're not pregnant, that's impossible... no offence

I opened Perry next:

Hey, you coming back to school anytime soon? Cause if not, I can come over or something.

Hey, why is no one answering the door? I'm in front of your house...

If you're mad at me could you tell me what I did? I thought we were cool

I've been talking to Aiden lately and he seems really chill. Idk why you won't forgive him.

Yes he told me to say that.

Come on Abby, what did I do to you?

I exited the chat box and opened Aiden's:

So you're that mad at me that you won't even come to school anymore?

That's a little drastic, don't you think

Ok come on, it's been weeks now, Abby

Abby I'm sorry.
You're being ridiculous now. It was just a kiss.

Ok that was maybe out of line considering the situation

Ok for real I am sorry

If you want to end this friendship just tell me so I don't have to wait for you to talk to me.

I mean, I hope you don't because I kinda need you...you're my best friend Abby

And plus, you have to forgive or God won't forgive you!

Abby I'm sorry.

Part of me wanted to answer him back because I felt so sorry for ignoring him for so long and I barely even talked to him about it. The other small half was still affected by that night and was saying "forget you, I've moved on without you". But that still small voice was saying, "just let it go". I knew I couldn't let it go without settling things with him but I didn't want to talk to him...but I did miss him.
