“I took a chance, I took a shot
And you may think I’m bullet-proof, but I’m not. You took a swing, I took it hard. And down here from the ground I see who you are”
― Taylor Swift
Leaving the ladies room, I was passing, trying to escape the leaking ceiling, I heard her, her voice was loud, she was crying, I recognized the voice immediately. I know that voice too well, it was my best friend Sharon's...I knocked at her door, I was scared. It was as if something has happened to her or she has lost someone in her family, thoughts rotating in my head as I could not wait for the door to be opened so I can finally let go of my curiosity.
I knocked harder, banging on the door, this time saying it's me Becky. She loves her privacy oh too well and will not allow a stranger in her business.
Alexis opened the door and locked it immediately I entered, I saw Sharon - on the floor, her frail body that she was always insecure about has never been more obvious, wearing an over-sized white dress that made her melanin pop and made way for her tiny tits and her large collarbone.
She was sobbing holding a black bible in her hand, she looked like she has received the news of cancer and will die in less than a week.
Alexis what happened to her?…I asked…' it's mark, he told her to move in with her life'... normally I was always the one that tell my friends not to cry over boys. Don't, I'll say,they are not worth it.
But I was just standing there,watching my friend cry, I didn't know what to say, she loved him!.. I know this because I am always disturbed by their lifestyle, but he really loved her, I mean I was convinced that he did
"He told you to move on?" I asked as if I didn't hear what Alexis said.
Sharon forced some words out saying, "I swear he just started giving me attitude and today messaged me that I should move on with my life…I hate boys! our parents know each other.. I thought we were going to get married …he's the one I lost my virginity to... I am never going to love again"
I looked at Sharon with the after breakup rant face, I didn't take her seriously, we have all gone through it, she will definitely get over it.…you will love again I told her, she cried until she slept off on the floor still holding her black Bible.
I just remembered this story because Sharon's dead body is here in my front...her customer beat her up I heard, she became a stripper months after her ordeal with mark.
Am Crying, trying to understand who was at fault.
Mark for breaking my insecure friend?
Sharon for not being strong?
Or
Me for leaving her to be strong, instead of helping her get over it.
Fiction.
