This Is Why I'm Failing Physics

The hot sun beating on my back coupled with the sound of our laughter gave me a warm, tingly feeling inside of my body.

Lula and I were skating down to the nearest beach to relax before summer vacation ended. We were going to junior year in 5 days, and while Lula was filled to the brim with excitement, I didn't feel anything. Honestly, the only thing keeping me from absolutely hating school is it's the only time I saw my friends. Aside from Lula that is.

Lula had lived next-door for as long as we could remember. We were like two peas in a pod. I was there when she wanted to be called Lula instead of Tallulah and she was there when my dad didn't let me leave my room for 3 days straight. She was the one that snuck food and water to me through my window. We were both there when we were curious one night and found out that girls are nice too (we kissed and Lula came out as lesbian four days afterward).

I'm taken out of my thoughts by the sight of the ocean, clear and beautifully shining as we both topped the last hill over the beach.

"I just want to jump in, it looks so beautiful!"

Lula screamed in excitement as we got closer.

"Race you to the water!"

I said, picking up speed on the downhill.

"You're on, Evie!"

I woke up with tears streaming down my face. Looking around I realized that I was on the couch, Blake sitting right next to me, rubbing my back. The news was on the TV and even though the sound is almost completely off I was able to see that it's been 4 days since the murder of all those people.

4 days since I lost my best friend.

"Morning Evie. You were crying, did you have a bad dream?" Blake asked me, concern lacing his features once he realized I was awake.

I shook my head, "No... On the contrary, it was a nice dream about Lula and I going to the beach."

"Oh, I'm so sorry..." he mumbled, pulling me into his arms. I lost track of how long we sat there just lost in our thoughts.

After a very light meal of toast and butter, Blake grabbed my hand from across the table and cleared his throat.

"Evie, there's going to be a memorial service downtown later for everyone that was murdered. I know its way too early and you need time but I'm going to go to support Lula. I wasn't as close to her as you, but she was my friend too."

I felt tears well up in my eyes as I nodded "Y-yeah... yeah, that sounds good. I most likely won't make it, but it means a lot that you are going, and I'm sure it does to her too.."

I trailed off into silence, not knowing what else to say.

Blake got up from his chair and crossed around the table. He took me in his arms and kissed the top of my head.

"I love you, Evelyn. call me if you decide to go later on or if you want me to stay with you."

He murmured into my hair.

I didn't even realize he left until I heard the soft flick of the front door closing and locking. I looked around the apartment, letting out a small sigh. It was way too quiet without her.

It was way too quiet when I was alone.

Alone like all those years father kept me locked in the closet when I upset him.
