2:30 am
I heard my ring tone while I was very deep in my sleep, I struggled to open my eyes, in the obscurity of my room, I hardly opened my eyes to see my phone flashing light on the night stand, I moaned as I was exhausted and extended my hand to grab it, the light was so bright I barely could keep my eyes opened, I saw Brittany's name flashing on the screen then automatically pressed the reply button
I sighted - Brittany, do you have any idea what time is it? I asked in a cracked voice
-Alexa I... I. She struggled, I can't stop thinking about him, he broke my heart into thousands of pieces. She busted into tears
-Oh Hun! You can't be drowning your heart like that, believe me you're only hurting yourself and he doesn't even deserve those precious tears.
- but why did he choose to leave? She whined, why did he abandon me like that, I need answers, what did I do wrong?
-oh honey, if anything I can 100% assure you that you were completely correct with him and he's way too much of a coward to confess his mistakes and way too shallow and ignorant, believe me people do change but only unless they shoose to, you can't keep waiting for someone to come back, especially if they're in no way good for you, you have to move on, you can't follow his path you'll fall in a whole where there's no return and I as your best friend, I won't let that happen, I have to step in, I've always been real with you and I'll always try to open your eyes, all I want is what's best for you, I care about you brit, you owe me at least that, so stop torturing yourself babe, you're too good for him and he's not worth it.
Her voice softened and her tone lowered - do you think he's gonna regret it?
-I know he will, even if he won't admit it, there's nothing worse than guilt and karma, either way they're both destructive in their own way. I paused and gave her time to redeem her self and calm down, come on sugar, you need to get some sleep we have a long day tomorrow. I added as I yawned
-thank you Alexa I feel so much better.
-I'm glad you do honey, now get some rest.
-I'll try good night babe
-good night. I hang up
°~~~~~~~°~~~~~~°~~~~~~~~~~~
-Alexa! Shouted a familiar voice startling me, come on! it's time to wake up or you'll be late for school. Screamed my mom from down the stairs, her voice sounded like melody to my ears despite the headache I was suffering from due to my bad night sleep, between brits call in the middle of the night with her complete meltdown and Michael's unstoppable calls every half or so hour, until I had enough of him, turned my phone off and tossed it to the side of my bed where it fell on the rug - oh that's why my alarm didn't ring I sighted covering my face with my blanket
-Alexa! Shouted my mom again, this time her voice was getting closer and heard her footsteps coming up the stairs
I uncovered my face staring at the ceiling trying to ease my headache and enjoy 5 minutes of silence
-Alexa! She yelled bursting open the door
-Alright mom I heard you! I'm not deaf! I whined
-come on shop shop, get up. She added opening the curtains
-okay mom I heard you. I shrugged and covered my face as more agressive light blinded me
She was still standing there - don't make me pour an ice bucket on your head, I've done it before I won't mind doing it again. She threatened
-Mom! I screamed as I sat up straight and stared at her annoyed, she stared back at me smiling, you know this is straight up harassment don't you think.
She laughed teasingly - well you should have woken up by yourself then, you need to start having some sens of responsibility now that you're soon attending university, where you enter the real world_ and you meet new people and make your own choices, I carried on at the same time as her, I know mom I have everyone of your lectures memorized, now can you find it in your heart to allow me 5 more minutes so I can recover from this killer headache, right now, I will be ready in no time.
She looked skeptical, she knew me too well to tell there was something wrong, but I did my best to avoid her interrogations, she finally gave in and agreed to leave, I sighed a sight of relief and lyed back down and memories came flooding back to me as I remembered Michael's words, his voice is still echoing in my head, I turned my phone on, it shimmered so many times, 15 more calls from Michael and 4 from my bestie as soon as I unlocked it she called again
-hey sis! I answerd and put it in speaker as I stood up and opened my closet to pick an outfit for the day
-hey I've been trying to reach you for half an hour now!
- Yeah, sorry my phone was dead, I forgot to charge it last night . I lied, W-what's up!? You feeling any better?
-much actually. She cheered, sorry for waking you up so late though I_ No No worries. I interrupted her, I'm always here for you when you need me. I said as I chose a blue dress and put it over my body staring at myself in the mirror
-the point is, we will graduate high school soon where guys are more mature and put together, far from high school drama and all that Jaz believe me four months from now we'll be looking back at this and laughing out loud. I giggled trying to lift up her spirits
- you're right, well Michael is a college student. Reasoned Britney's voice on the speaker, I froze by the mention of his name - you must have an example right there in front of you. She proceeded, hello! Alexa, you still there?
-hey dress or jeans? I asked ignoring her question
-wear something sexy, I heard Brandon is throwing a party at his house tonight, I'm pretty sure he's inving you. I felt her grining behind the screen
Brandon Hilfiger is the richest student at our high school, his parents work at a Security Industry Association also known as S. I. A it's somewhat similar to the F. B. I but it procurates a lot of work and travel and extreme discretion, therefore, they're out of town most of the year, they live in a huge mansion and he has it for himself most of the time, he throws parties, invites girls to stay the night, well typical rich play boy, he always has had his eyes on me, but I politely decline his advances every time, non the less, his different lifestyle fascinates me, not that I don't have rich friends but he gives another intriguing outlook of it, I don't know how to explain it, anyways let's get back to the story
-Yeah, he sure will. I replied with indifference, but I don't really feel like going. I added contemplating my closet
-why not?. Screamed Britney through the speakers
I chose the dress and stood up to bring the rest of my clothes
-Alex! I'm starting to feel like you're hiding something from me, I really don't like the sound of that we-
-brit calm down! I shouted interrupting her, fine I'll ask my mom and let you know. I said as I grabbed my phone and took it to the bathroom where I do my daily routine
-okay and don't you dare lie to me I'll ask her later. She threatened
I giggled, I knew she wanted to have a little fun to get over her break up, so I knew she needed that more than me
-alright we'll talk to you later I need to get ready
-okay later boo kisses
She hang up
