I woke up at about 10:00, and just sat up in my bed for a while.

I decided to call Danica because I couldn't take it anymore. I needed to hear her voice.

I grabbed my phone from the nightstand and called her.

I held up the phone to my ear, just waiting for the voicemail.

"Hey, it's Danica Thompson, I'm sorry I couldn't pick up the phone, but I'll try to call you back as soon a possible." Then I heard the beep. "Umm, hey baby, I just wanted to call and tell you how much I love and miss you. I know I'll see you again one day, whether it's in heaven or on earth, but you'll always be an angel- my angel, and I love you so much, and you don't understand how misserable I am without you. We all love and miss you. I know you probably won't hear this message but I hope you're ok and-" I got cut off by the phone hanging up. I started to uncontrollably sob into my hands. "Danica, I miss you so much." I whispered to myself

I miss her whining and endless rants on anything she possibly could. That's what I loved about her the most. She knew how to make me laugh and feel better. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her but I only got to spend a few months.

I laid back down in my bed with tears still rolling down my cheeks. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

I heard a knock at the door "yes?" I asked while pulling the cover over my face

Mahogany walked in fully dressed.

"Hey Hayes, we were all going out to breakfast. You wanna come?" I asked "No thanks." I said then turned over on my side.

I felt the side of the bed dip down. I looked over and saw Mahogany looking at me with sadness in her eyes.

"Hayes?" "Yeah?" "Please don't sit in bed and mope around all day like the last few weeks "Mahogany, I'm fine." "Don't lie to me like that. I know you're sad that she's gone but you'll get over it soon. I promise." "That's what everyone's been saying but it only gets worse, and no one listens to me." "I'm listening." "No. I mean actually listens and gives me a chance." "What do you mean by gives you a chance?" "Never mind" "No. Tell me. I want to know." She said eager to get the answer "No. I don't know. I'm just tired." I lied

"Ok, well I'll bring something back for you." "K. Thanks." I said then laid back down

-

I was sitting out on Danica's balcony just staring at the scenery. She wasn't lying at all. It is beautiful to look at, and calming.

"hey Hayes." I turned around to see Nash in the door frame.

"What, Nash?" "Look, I'm sorry about the other day and everything else but I want to take you out to get your mind off of things." "Where?" "the carnival is in town he shrugged

"Sure. Why not."

I got dressed into black jeans, a white T-shirt, and black Vans.

"Hayes, come on!" Nash shouted

I walked downstairs and into the living room where Nash was waiting.

"Alright, you ready to go?" He asked "yeah, I guess." I sighed

"Hayes, forget about her for one night. She's gone, ok? There's nothing more for us to do than get over it. Now, we're going out to have fun." I rolled my eyes at his ignorance then walked past him to the car

-

We arrived at the carnival and got out of the car. I had to admit, the rides looked pretty fun.

I looked over at Nash and saw him talking to two girls. I walked over to all of them, and Nash introduced me to them.

"This is my little brother Hayes," he said to the two girls "And this is Clair and Abby." He said while pointing to each one. They both said hi so I said hi back.

"Which rides do you guys want to go on?" Nash asked "We could go on the spinny swings." Abby suggested "ok." We all agreed

Clair and Abby both walked ahead of Nash and I.

"Since when do you have other friends.. That are girls?" I asked "These are Mahogany's friends." "Well, why are we with them then?" "Because it would be nice if we could just hang out with some other people."

"Nash, I swear to God if you're trying to set me up with one of her friends--" "I'm not. I just wanted us to have some fun, ok? And they're nice girls anyways."

"Clair is my age and Abby is yours, we're gonna have fun tonight." He said

I looked up at him, rolled my eyes, and walked past him.

He sat with Clair so I sat with Abby.

I have to admit it was kind of fun.

We got off of the ride and Nash walked up to me "Hey Hayes?" He asked "Yeah?" "Do you think you could hang out with Abby while I hang out with Clair?" I rolled my eyes "Fine."

"Thanks, bro!" He said then ran off to Clair.

I walked up to Abby "What do you want to do now?" "We could go on the bumper cars." She suggested "ok." I shrugged

-

We both sat down to eat. We both got hot dogs from the little hot dog stand nearby.

Abby is a pretty nice girl. She's smart, beautiful, and kind.

"Do you know what time it is?" She asked "yeah." I pulled out my phone and set it on the table. I pressed the home screen and the time came up. 9:28.

"Who's that?" She asked "huh?" "The girl on your wallpaper." "Oh, that's Danica." "Is she your girlfriend?" She asked.

I hesitated before answering.

"No. She's- she was just an old friend." "She's pretty." She said then took a bite of her hot dog "Yep," I said with a smile "She was." I said under my breath.

Ugh. I haven't updated in like a week and a half😩

School got me so emotional. My crush is dating someone I hate. And she's a hoe.

Where did the America I remember go?! Where they listened to Drake and Chris Brown when they told you these hoes ain't loyal and why they have trust issues.

We're really good friends and stuff so we talk and in our conversations it always ends up being about her. Like wtf?! Let me have a good day. #thestruggle

I'll try my best to update before Saturday or on Saturday because I have no life and no excuse not to.

For real tho. If you want me to check out any of your books or anything just message me or comment or something. I usually stay up till like 4 in the morning reading or something.
