"I don't care!", Shawna screams.
"So after all this now you don't care!", Breana screams louder.
"I never did, I was just being nice", Shawna shrugs.
"Bullshit!", Breana yells.
"Guys stop seriously, you've been friends for what feels like forever", I plead "Alana do something", I say looking to her for help but she just puts her arms up in the air backing away as in saying 'i have nothing to do with this'. Man I guess I have to do this myself, as always, I thought we were past this childish bickering mess.
"No Tiana, we were never friends and she always showed that and now it's time I prove that" she says somewhat out of breath but also calmer.
"Guys..." I half whisper, but they've already walked in separate directions. I look and everyone around is standing, staring to figure out what the heck just happened...I don't know myself.
I look left to right at both my friends walking, practically stomping, away. I look over to Alana who is sitting there acting like nothing just happened, and I realize I have to do this alone.
I don't know who to go to first...Breana or Shawna, no matter who I pick the other will be mad at me for going to the other friend before them. So I do what I think is the best possible solution, and walk back to our table and sit down, and drink the rest of my smoothie. Everyone needs to calm down and get some air and I'm not gonna be the one to get aired out so I'm leaving them be...for now.

"If you love me, you won't leave me."
Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation.
With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook.
A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too.
She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him.
Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom?
