When I woke up the next day I felt, relieved? I don't know, maybe because I was finally leaving or something.
                          
It was Friday but my mom has banned me from school until next week. I guess it's a good thing, except I don't get to see my friends.
                          
They were going to that party tomorrow and if I didn't know any better, I would still get to talk to them, drunk.
                          
But hey it's better than nothing. I'll probably tell them Monday about the disease. They didn't know, that's why the lie of "dance practice" has been a buddy of mine.
                          
They always try to get me to go to parties which are usually on the weekend so I tell them I have dance on the weekends.
                          
If it's anything else then it's work or dance still. Work doesn't bother me because I'm not moving as much, probably about the same as school. Also, I can take breaks when I want to.
                          
"I gave that boy Noah your number. He told me all about this past week. I told him everything was okay and to keep in touch, you know because the only reason he was was because of that bracelet of yours." My mom says, of course, she gave him my number.
                          
"Whyyyyyyy, were not even friends," I tell her, groaning.
                          
"Sure, that's not what it looked like at the hospital," Mom winks at me and I blush. I didn't know anyone was watching.
                          
We pull up at the house and I basically run inside. Well, technically I was walking because I don't want to have to go right back to the hospital. I just wanted to sleep really bad. I was exhausted.
                          
I just laid in my bed and then, "Honey! Come eat something! You know you need to eat!" 
                          
"OHMYGOSH MAMA YOU COULD'VE SAID THAT WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE!" I shout at her as I walk down the stairs. 
                          
I get into the kitchen, leaning against the counter. "I know but where's the fun in that?" she said like it was nothing. "Also, calm down with the screaming. Plus I think your brother is sleeping."
                          
"Why should I care" I mumble as I look in the fridge. Mmm peanut butter and apple slices sound good. Realizing neither of those is in the fridge I turn around. "Mama, do we have any peanut butter?" I ask because let's be honest. I'm too lazy to look unless it actually there.
                          
"You should care a lot about your brother's sleep. You know how he gets when he's cranky. And yes, I went to the grocery store yesterday." She says getting the peanut butter out. I get the apple and a knife. 
                          
"Oh gosh, yeah I need to shut up." When Jade gets cranky it's like WW3 in our own home. It's horrible. "I'm going back to my room. I wouldn't expect me back out until tomorrow."
                          
"Alright honey, don't stay up all night. I know how you are." Mama says, giving me that look.
                          
"Yeah yeah, Mama. I know how you get too." I tell her, with an attempt at the same look. It fails.
                          
She lets out a breathy laugh. "You're silly. Now go! Go be anti-social like the teenager you are!" She shoos me out and I quickly go with my apple and peanut butter.
                          
I really don't know how she gets I was just saying that and she knew that. Mama and I have a pretty good relationship. My dad and I? Not so much. We socialize every once in a while. Mainly just at dinner. He's usually at work all day so I don't really see him. 
                          
I sit on my bed with my blankets drowning me and my laptop in front of me. I'm watching The Notebook. As soon as I start to cry my phone starts to ring. I pause the movie and grab my phone. 
                          
I can't even see who it's from because of the tears in my eyes. Stupid movie. So I answer it. "Hello?" My voice even sounds like I've been crying.
                          
"OMG are you crying!?" Oh, it's Courtney. It's not like I was expecting anyone else or anything. I totally wasn't.
                          
"No! ...yes, I'm watching The Notebook what do you expect?" I told her. I've seen it a million times and cry every time. What? I can't help I'm emotional?!
                          
"You - hey! That's my dress!" I pull the phone away from my ear because of how loud she's being. "Sorry Ab, I gotta go. I gotta take care of something, some douche puked on my dress. Cry for me!" And the line goes dead. 
                          
I knew I'd get a drunk call. I think she sobered up a little when the person ruined her dress. She's very sensitive about her clothes. I'll pray for you Courtney.
                          
I look at my phone as it ends the call. Then I notice the message I must've gotten while on the phone. It's an unknown number. I click on it and it takes me to the message.
                          
Unknown number: waddup girl watcha dooooiin???
                          
Who the heck could this be? It's not like I'm expecting Noah to text me but this can't be him. Can it? I'll just ask.
                          
Me: Who is this? 
                          
Unknown number: this is noah duuhhh i cant believe u didnt kno im hurt
                          
I leave the message on read. I know this isn't him. Even if he went to that party and got drunk. This just doesn't seem like something he'd do.
                          
I get back to my movie. Eating my peanut butter. By now my apple is gone and I just have the jar of peanut butter. Soon after I get cozy, leaving the precious food on my nightstand. I can put it up tomorrow. Again, majorly lazy.
                          
Then as the minutes pass, I fall asleep with my phone randomly pinging from a text but I ignore it as sleep caves in around me.
