I meet my best friends, Heather and Lucy, for lunch at a diner after visiting my mom in the hospital. It's closer to my apartment so they figured it would be better for me. It's the only time we have this week to see each other and catch up. The floor is kinda sticky here but the ambiance is quite nice. The portion size is decent and it tastes amazing. I can barely finish the burger I ordered, so I'll take the rest home for dinner. That'll save me some money.
They talk about school work for a bit while I just listen, seeing as I'm no longer in school so I can't relate. Then Lucy's phone buzzes on the table. She checks on it, her attention focused while Heather turns to me. "How are you holding up?"
"Okay, considering…everything." I shrug. "What are you guys up to on Monday?" I change the subject to keep my mind off my worries.
