"Rosalie Hale, answer your freakin' phone! I know you're screening calls!" I screamed into the end of my phone. I knew she was probably in class. I also knew that I was screaming into a voicemail system and not a real answering machine where there was a possibility of someone hearing me but it didn't matter. What did was the fact that I needed my best friend! I needed someone who could think clearly and who had a level head.
I also needed a hug. Rosalie gave awesome bear hugs.
I slammed the phone down on my kitchen counter. Yea, I knew stomping around like a petulant child would accomplish nothing but what else was I supposed to do?
I need to set my butt down and make a plan. Figure out what's right for me…
If only I knew what was the right thing to do…
I grabbed a note pad and pen: Go to the doctor (check)
Have a nervous breakdown (almost check)
Tell my best friend what a complete fool I am ( )
Tell my parents…Oh shit, my parents! (not gonna happen yet)
What was that guy's name? (Oh shit…. Again!)
I am so screwed…
Finally the phone rang and I nearly jumped out of my skin. It was like I had become a skittish cat whose tail had been stepped on one-too-many times.
"Hello?"
"What the hell is going on?"
"I need you Rose!" I began to sob uncontrollably. "I need you…" My voice trailed off as I attempted to quite the hysteria that bubbled inside me.
"Bells, you're scaring me. What's going on? I'm leaving my Pharmacology class now. Should I stop and pick up dinner on my way over?" The concern in my friends voice warmed my heart. She was truly my sister from another mister.
"Yea, just whatever you want. I don't have much of an appetite but you may need something on your stomach before you start drinking." As bad as I wanted a double shot of tequila, I knew I couldn't have, I knew my friend would drink one for me after I spilled my beans.
"Okay, I'll pick you up something too. Everything is going to be okay, whatever it is. I'll see you soon!" With a loud smooch into my ear, Rosalie's voice faded away.
Rose was a smart woman, not just book smart either. She would know what I needed to do.
God I hope she does!
