I laid in my bed not moving it was noon and i didn't have the strength or courage to get out of my bed today. It had been this way for two months now, but i usually talked myself to get up. Defiantly not today. I turned over and looked at the box of pictures on the floor and my suitcase still not unpacked since i got back from my summer in California. My hear thumped hard in my chest. I left the place i loved to come running back home because of some stupid boy. "Not stupid!" my hear seemed to say, "smart, sensible, handsome, loving, caring .." "STOP!" I said sternly to myself, you're over him. I turned to my other side so i wouldn't have to look at the box.
Although this side wasn't much better, facing my night stand I saw the charm bracelet Harry had gotten me was laying there. I reached out from under the covers and grabbed it. Looking at the shining silver charms in the light, tears started forming, my throat dry and clenched trying to hold them back. Who was I fooling? I was obviously not over Harry i don't think i ever would be. That summer i had fallen in love, been betrayed, fired from my dream job, and arrested. How could i go to Cali. for one reason and come running home for a billion more? Just thinking about this made me even more exhausted and brought on a migraine.
"Ugh!" i groaned chucking the bracelet at the wall. As the bracelet fell to the ground there was a light tap on my door. "Aunt Josie, I cant go anywhere today. I'm ill." At least it wasn't a total lie, I wasn't feeling myself. I hadn't for a while. I pulled the sheets over my head.
"Rose?" A familiar voice said, but not one i was expecting. I peeked from under the sheets to see Monroe standing in my door way. The look on her face told me i looked as bad as i felt and she wasn't surprised.
"Monroe? What are you doing here?" Monroe and I had been best friends all through high school and thought we would take a year off and stay in California. Both of us getting internships there. She got an assistant job with a well known photographer, and I got a job at an aquarium. Pretty much cleaning the tanks and feeding the fish, but it would help me with wanting to become a marine biologist. Which now since i was here back in Minnesota, not really where I was really planning to be in two months, was probably down the drain.
"Obviously, to see why you aren't back to California with me yet." She said crossing the room sitting on the edge of my bed. Of course she wouldn't know. She had been in New York.
