Delilah

I frown down at the text message that just came in, shaking my head in disbelief. Dammit! I am already dressed, Charlie is on her way over, and now Nico is cancelling on me, again. That’s two Saturdays in a row now, with no explanation, and I don’t know what to think. Has he just had some things come up, or did I do something and he doesn’t want to see me anymore? His texts during the week have also become few and far between, making me think it’s the latter - that he just doesn’t want me anymore. Maybe he found another woman that he likes better than me.

My emotions are all over the place. I’m hurt, angry, and disappointed. Then to top it all off, Nick has been acting strange, too. He has become distant and short with me. He barely spoke to me this whole week, and I don’t know what to think about that, either. Does it have something to do with his “perfect match” chick? Is he getting tired of me? Did I do something wrong? Is he planning to fire me?

Charlie suddenly appeared next to me. “Hey, chica. You ready to go?”

I jump and scream at the sight of her, pressing my hand over my pounding heart. “Jesus, Charlie! When did you get here?”

“About a minute ago,” she says with a shrug. “Are you ready?”

“I’m not going. Nico cancelled on me again,” I mutter, dropping down to sit on the end of my bed.

Charlie frowns down at me. “Really?”

“Yeah, I think it’s over.” I sigh.

“No, don’t say that. Maybe he’s having personal problems that you don’t know about,” Charlie says reassuringly and sits down next to me.

I shake my head. “No, I can feel it. He’s done with me and moving on to the next woman. This was only supposed to be a one-night stand anyway. I don’t know what I was thinking letting it go on for this long, and letting my feelings get involved.”

“LaLa, you don’t know for sure,” Charlie says, patting my thigh.

I sigh heavily, trying to let Charlie’s positive attitude overpower my negative, but it’s not really working. I feel like my life is falling apart - first my mom dies, now Nico is dumping me, and Nick is probably going to fire me. I can’t stop the tears that suddenly well up and start spilling over.

“Aw, LaLa, don’t cry,” Charlie murmurs and pulls me into her arms.

It’s too late to stop it, so I grab onto my best friend as I cry my eyes out. And it’s one of those ugly cries that you can only do in front of your mom or best friend. But I don’t have a mom any more, and the sobs continue to rack my body. After a few minutes of letting it all out, I feel completely empty. After the last few weeks, I can’t even believe I have any tears left to shed. I quietly extract myself from Charlie and head into my bathroom.
