A week passes by, Conrad is still a ghost, and I still haven't talked to Belly.
Being the older one, I decided to try and call her.
It rang, I had some hope but then I heard the words no one wants to hear, Voicemail.
I sigh and rub my head, "I'm sorry Belly, I hate fighting with you, I'm just worried about you," I manage to say.
I felt tension off of my shoulders.
I stay silent, I don't know what to say after that.
"Um, call me back?" I say more as a question.
I click off of the voicemail and I feel anger rise within me.
"Fuck!" I yell as I throw my phone on the ground.
I didn't notice but Rory had just opened the door to our room.
"Um, everything okay Laur?" She says.
"No!" I snapped, I didn't mean to take my frustrations out on her, it just happened, "I'm sorry, I'm just fighting with my sister."
She throws herself on my bed and hugs me. I just stay stiff.
"It'll be fine, families fight all the time," She says.
"This time feels different," I say as I face her, "Everything finally felt correct but now everything is wrong. What should I do?"
"Right now, focus on yourself," Rory begins, "Take a break from taking care of everyone, you should focus on school and your happiness, stop worrying."
"How?" I ask.
"Let's dress up and go somewhere tonight, it's a Friday!" She exclaims.
"I don't know... I thought maybe I was going to watch a movie or something..."
"A movie?" She yells, "Oh hell nah! We are partying! Let me go on Insta' and see if there are any Frat parties tonight, which I mean there definitely are..."
I stopped listening as she continued to ramble while searching for a party.
"Eek!" She screamed, I looked at her with my tired eyes, "I found the best one!"
"Who?" I ask.
"Omega Psi Phi! They throw the best parties, it's Aloha tonight, do you have a Hawaiin shirt?"
"I think so..." I respond, I don't actually own one, I just wanted to make Rory excited.
"Yay! Go get ready girl!"
I search through my dresser to look for a non-existent Hawaiin shirt, and just by my luck I don't find it.
"Dang, I must have forgotten it at home, uh, what do I wear now?"
Rory rolls her eyes, "Something like Summer!"
Summer, the last thing I wanted to think about was summer.
"Summer? It's cold outside," I say back.
"Whatever, you can be cold for one night! Stop procrastinating and get ready!"
I grab the first shirt I see in my drawer and it's my old creme t-shirt with a red hibiscus flower in the middle.
It makes me smile thinking of the first bonfire from two summers ago. The night where I drunkenly told Jeremiah I loved him. God, even now I can't handle my liquor.
I decided to complete my old iconic look by putting my hair into two braids and curling my eyelashes. I put some glitter eyeshadow on my eyelids and added a little highlighter to my face.
