'No, I visited her a couple of days ago and she wasn't in good shape. Please call her, she really needs you.' He dropped the call.
I did not need that burden on my conscience but there it was, poking me in the eye.
There was no way I could ignore Emily anymore, I had to return her calls and reply to her texts.
Those were the steps I needed to take to become her Lily. I could not run from it anymore because if anything happened to her, it was going to be on me.
I stayed in my room most of the time so I never had to see Frank until one Sunday when he walked into my room to invite me to church. That was when he saw my hair for the first time. He said nothing at first then he came closer and touched it.
'Is it a wig?' He asked while tugging at it a little.
'No, it's my new look.'
