I was having one of those days. One of those days where I remember Ally. The times we've had, and laughs we've shared, the music we made.
One of those days where I cry and let it all out. God, I miss her so much.
*Beep beep*
I look over and check my phone. It's Dez.
"Hey Dez"
"Hey Austin, hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, what's up?"
"Okay, just asking. I was just calling to make sure you were coming with us to lunch today."
"Oh shit! That was today? Yeah, yeah I'm coming. What time do I have to be there?"
"3:30"
"DEZ! It's already 6:03! I'll be there soon."
I hung up and got dressed and washed my face. I got in my car and went to the store. I went to buy some dessert. I haven't seen Trish for one month. Last time I saw her, I was screaming in her face.
I finally arrived at exactly 3:32.
"Hey Austin!" Dez hugged me and had a huge grin on his face. I couldn't help to chuckle. Dez was an amazing friend. Trish then took a step and looked up at me. I stood there and what she did next shocked me. She hugged me. And it wasn't one of those hugs you give to your friend after not seeing them for two days. It was a meaningful hug. She was holding on tightly. I put my arms around her and accepted the hug, and because of our height difference, I rested my head on hers.
We released and I noticed she was tearing up. "Trish why are yo-"
"Austin, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to give you a hard time about Ally. You love her and she loves you! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, it wasn't your fault. Her death wasn't your fault!" Trish blurted out.
That brought tears to my eyes. "Um, it's okay Trish." And I fell on my knees, sobbing, putting my face in my hands. I miss her every single day. Trish buried her face in Dez's chest. She stopped crying and looked down at me. Dez did the same. "I'm sorry bud."
Then I heard a small sniffle coming from another room.
I look up with my red eyes. "What was that?"
"What was what?" Trish questioned. She looked at Dez.
"Oh, um, I have to go to the bathroom." Dez quickly said and ran to the room. Then I noticed. That was the bedroom. Not the bathroom. Is Dez hiding something from me? I ran in the room and find Dez and my heart stopped.
"Ally?"
