I rushed over to Betty's
"Lily what's the problem" Betty asked seeming worried
"Why are you crying?"
"please talk to me"
"Lily!!"
"St..e....ve..." I choked
"What did he do?"
"Use...me..I....me...!!" I couldn't control my tears
"....."
I cried for hours.
When I had sobbed down a little I explained everything to Betty
"And you kept all these to yourself?! why Lily!"
"I really don't know what to say lily"
"This Is really disappointing"
"Its Ok dear...at least...he's gone now"
"but...but.." I stammered
"Shhh come on now you need to rest Ok?"
She helped me shower up and put me to bed. I had been so weak from all the crying.
Our final exams had started immensely. I tried my best to concentrate and make up for my bad results I had previously. Steve had found a new girlfriend and whenever I was in class he would always romance her
I ignored them. As soon as my exams were done I headed home
"Good bye high school, welcome college" I said to myself
Betty, Alicia and I had always planned on attending the same college.
"am sorry guys but I can't join you guys"
"Why?"
"Well my parents decided to move out of town so...."
"Its Ok Alicia we'll miss you tho"
"I'll miss you too Lily and you too Betty"
"How about we have a slumber party before you leave"
"That's sounds nice". I agreed
After we had escorted Alicia home we said goodbye and they left.
" Hey Betty"
"mm"
"How about Phoenix?"
"Well I haven't heard from him in a while tho but I got some information that he had relocated"
"Oh that's so sad"
"Am Ok"
"you sure?"
"yes Lily!"
I and betty had previously wanted to go to a college in town but for the fact that betty's father never cared we decided to go far away my parents didn't mind either to
We engaged our selves in a lot of stuff during our holidays, relationships didn't matter to us as log as we had ourselves.
Slowly I realised I had developed pistanthrophobia( fear of being hurt) which with time grew into philophobia(Fear of being in love).
I knew i wasn't gonna fall in love not again the thought of that sent shivers to my spine it seem Betty too didn't want to go into any of that.
"All I want to do now is to focus on my dream."
"I had always dreamed of becoming a CEO of a very influential company" I told her
"That's a big dream you have there girl"
"mm who doesn't love power?"
"I don't but just make sure you don't forget me"
"Its just me and you Betty no one else"
She hugged me
"Thanks lily"
"For what?"
"Being there for me"
"come on your like the sister I never had"
"But now you do"
"Mm and am glad"
"Me too"
We talked about our plans about college and our dreams for hours
