I didn't say a word to Olivia when I woke up the next morning.

We sat through breakfast without me ever even looking up at her.

Olivia had just started to say something when the apartment door opened and Heather walked in.

She asked," Are you ready for school?"

I grabbed my books and walked out the door. I didn't even bother to put my bowl in sink.

When I got in the car Heather asked," Did you talk to Olivia?"

I said," I did last night."

She asked," What about this morning?"

I said," I had nothing else to say to her."

Heather started the car and said," you can't leave it at what you said last night. Sarah you have to keep talking to her."

I said," Can you just take me to school please."

She started to drive off and said," Talk to her."

When we got to school Heather said," I'll meet you right here when you get out at two-thirty. Don't make me have to wait on you."

Two-thirty came and went and Heather wasn't there. I sat on the steps in tears. Heather had never forgotten me, ever.

My teacher called Olivia.

Olivia tried to get a hold of Heather but only got her voice mail.

Olivia's car pulled up in front of the school.

I didn't move from the steps where I was still sitting there crying.

Olivia got out and sat down on the step beside me.

She brushed a tear away from face and pulled me into her arms.

Her phone rang and it was Heather. I could hear her apologizing and asking to talk to me.

Olivia handed me the phone and I closed it without ever saying anything into the phone.

Olivia hugged me and asked," Do you want to go home and meet Heather or do you want to go to the station until I get off?"

I said," Go with you."

She led me to the car.

I didn't say a word to her the entire way to the station.

I was so mad at Heather for forgetting me.

I walked up and crawled into Olivia's bed.

I laid there as the tears started flowing down my face again.

Olivia walked up and sat down on the floor so she was looking into my eyes.

She brushed the hair back away from my face and kissed my forehead.

She asked," Are you more upset that she forgot you or that they had to get me to come and get you?"

I said," She forgot me. How could she forget me?"

Olivia said," She just lost track of time. Sometimes that just happens. Sarah you know that Heather loves you. And you know that I do too."

I shook my head yes.

She said," come on, let's go get you some kind of junk food from the vending machines to hold you over until we get home. Heather is there making dinner."

I said," I don't want her there."

She said," We need to eat and you have to talk to her."
