3. On the elevator
Jimena closed her eyes and tried to relax. She could hear the numbers go up as the elevator was slowly moving upwards. She was on her way to Maggie's apartment. Maggie had buzzed the front door of the building open for them. Jimena was really wondering if she could still trust Catty. She knew that she was her friend, but somehow, memories of her friendship with Catty, Vanessa, Tianna, and Serena were kind of blurry. When she tried to remember of a time when she'd had fun with them, the only thing she could picture clearly was her birthday party. And even then, her friends hadn't exactly been party animals on that day as far as she could remember. They'd all looked sad as if someone had just died. Jimena could feel Catty's weight resting on her left side. She could feel her breath on her neck. It almost sounded like she was asleep. But in this situation, Jimena knew that she was actually just really tired, in pain, and all of that had made her weak. Catty was extremely tired. She still felt guilty about the time traveling accident. "If only I had just stayed in class, like I was supposed to," she thought to herself angrily. "Now Jimena and I are in trouble, and I'm not sure my arm will ever look normal again." Jimena had been helping her to stay up all the way to the apartment building, and then, Maggie had left them in. Catty had taken advantage of the fact that she could stay still while in the elevator, and had leaned against Jimena's shoulder for awhile. She heard the doors of the elevator opened. She and Jimena slowly got out. They could see an open door right in front of them. Of course, Catty knew who lived behind that door, but Jimena didn't. As Catty turned her head around, she felt a pang of sadness as she saw the distrustful look on Jimena's face. Everything had happened so fast, and they hadn't even had time to say good bye to the "old" Jimena. It wasn't the same anymore. They couldn't be such good friends when they had to hide the biggest part of their lives from her. The saddest thing was that soon, all of them would be like that. Catty blinked and whispered to Jimena while pointing at the door in front of them: "It's right there. Don't worry. Maggie will help us. She'll probably also be more qualified to explain to you what's happening." Jimena nodded and they slowly walked to the door.
I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but I have a feeling that the next one is going to be too long to blend it with this one. Please review. Do the 0 reviews mean that my story sucks so badly?
