Today had felt too long. After I met up with Aiden we just talked about his training and apparently he was worried about me. He said I should “go to the doctor” He must’ve spaced out or something before he said that because a few seconds later he remembered my mom is a doctor. I spent thirty minutes trying to convince him that I was fine but of course it didn’t work. Just because someone doesn’t cheer every time he talks doesn’t mean there’s something wrong but I guess that’s what his diagnosis is. Anyway, I’m just glad school was over and that I could finally go home. Once I get to my car I set everything on the passenger’s seat and start pulling out of the schools parking lot. It takes me about 15 minutes to get to my house but before I even pull into the driveway my cell phone starts to ring.

Shit, I forgot I was so supposed to head to Kyla’s…

“Hey Ky, What’s up?”

“Hey, I just wanted to make sure you didn’t forget we’re gonna hang out today” She briefly stops before continuing “You didn’t right?” she asks suspiciously

“Of course not, I’ll be there in like 10 minutes” I tell her as I put my car into reverse.

“Okay good I’ll see you then”

“Wait Kyl…” I start to say something but she was gone

Damn it. What if Ashley’s there?

I actually get to her house quicker than usual. This is going to be one of the few times in two years I’ve been inside. Even though Kyla and I are friends she’s always known I haven’t felt comfortable coming over. So whenever I have stopped by I’ve asked Kyla to make sure Ashley isn’t home. I just hope she hasn’t forgotten to do that this time. The only things I grab are my phone and keys before heading to the front door of their mansion. I knock a few times, wait, knock again, wait, knock one last time, turn around, and start heading back to my car.

“Where are you going!?” I hear Kyla shout out. I look up and see her sticking her head out the window.

“I’ve been knocking. I just thought I should come back later”
