It’s later in the evening and I’m curled up on my couch reading. I see headlights sweep across the living room, indicating that Clarissa is home. I stick the bookmark inside and close the book, tossing it onto the table in front of me. I stand and cross my arms, waiting for her to unlock the door. She pushes it open and turns around to snick the door shut quietly.

“What the fuck, Riss?” I demand and she screams, turning around and dropping back against the door.

“God damnitt, Lexie, don’t do that shit,” she avoids my eyes and makes her way out to the kitchen, pulling an open bottle of wine out of the fridge and pouring herself a glass. I follow her, leaning against the counter and narrowing my eyes at her.

“What the hell are you doing staying out until 2 am in a town where you know literally nobody?” I question.

“Sorry, mom,” she rolls her eyes, finishing the glass and pouring another, but still avoiding my question.

“Cut the shit, Clarissa. I was worried. You didn’t answer any of my messages, your phone went straight to voicemail. I don’t know what the hell is going on with you, but don’t you dare cut me out,” I say, pulling in a shaky breath, tears springing to my eyes. Her face softens.

“I know, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for you to worry. I’m just.. I’m still not. I can’t,” she finishes, shaking her head, her eyes overflowing with tears.

“I get it. I do. But please for the love of god just answer a text message, okay?” I ask, making my way around the island and pulling her into my arms. I don’t know what’s happened to my best friend, but I can tell it’s something that’s eating her up inside. She sobs quietly against my neck, clutching my sweater. I’m afraid whatever it is will be huge.
