"FUCK!", I yelled punching my arms into my bed. Why the fuck did I do that? Why do I always push away people? Maybe Justin was right, I'm just a slutty teenage girl who will never find love. I wanted to call Mia but she was with Scarlette and I didn't want to take away their time together. They're probably having the best time, at least they've found love. I wanted Alex and I wanted him so fucking bad. STOP Harlow, you can't love your bestfriend. He doesn't like you that way Harlow, he's way out of your league. I got under my bed sheets and cryed until I fell asleep. When I woke up I grabbed my phone and saw that it was 2AM. I had 10 missed messages, 8 from Alex, 1 from my mom, and 1 from Mia. I cleared all the other messages and opened Mia's message.

I didn't bother responding to the message I just tapped on her contact and pressed the phone icon. She answered within second with no facetime. Werid.

"What's up?", I ask trying to hide the tears in my voice
"She's gone.", Mia said crying, I had never seen her so vulnerable over the phone
"It's ok I'm on my way. Can you hang on for about 30 minutes?", I asked trying to be cheerful
"Yeah. I think Alex should be here soon."
"Ok I love you Mia." 
"Love you too Harls"

I hung up the phone. Of course Alex was going to be there. Mia and Alex are basically brother and sister, I don't know how I forgot about this. I hit my head on my steering wheel for a couple of minutes, until I decided I should get going. I started my car and drove to the store. When I got in there I got Mia a new pair of sweatpants, ice cream, goldfish, and a case of arizona green tea. I paid for the items and walked out to my car with the two nags I had and placed them in the backseat. I drove to her house and pulled in her driveway about 30 minutes later. When I pulled into the driveway, I saw Alex's car in the driveway. I put myself together and promised ot act like everything was okay. For Mia. For myself? No, for Mia. I grabbed the bags and open her door.

"Harls", Mia said walking towards the front door. I saw the lines from her eyeliner, and the makeup stains on her white tank top she was wearing.
"I got you this stuff.", I said handing her the two bags
"Thanks", She said sitting on the floor sorting through the bags.

She grabbed the sweatpants from the bag and walked into the bathroom to change. When she came back out she grabbed a spoon and the ice cream tub and walked over to the couch. I picked the bags off of the ground and walked over to the couch.

"So what happened?" I asked, rubbing Mia's back softly
"Well...."
