Hey Ciati,
How are you? I know we haven't talked for two and half weeks, but I thought that I'd email you. We're finally on a break. Thank God. I am now at home with my ManDUH (look at what you did) and we're fine. She's getting a little bossier each day. I told her that I'd take her back on two conditions, one, that she give me my tv back and two that she stops being bossy. She's followed so far but she's turning back into her old self. So, how's Carlie? You didn't kill her after our concert did you? I really hope not because even though it seems as though she's not a great friend, you two will work it out. Well, I have to go...I'm on my break but I still have to work! Damn. Write back.
~Nick
I smiled dispite my feelings. The past two weeks since the concert had been hectic. I clicked on 'reply' and started typing my letter back to Nick.
Hiya Nick,
Well, to answer your question, I'm not that great. It's been two and half weeks since I've talked to or even seen Carlie. She dropped me off and that was it. I've called her numerous time but she always has to call me back becuase she's getting ready to go somewhere or because she's on the other line or I get two words in and then someone calls on the other line and she puts me on hold forever. I think I'm just going to give up on our friendship. We're not exactly friends anyway. I don't mean to bore you or anything but my life still isn't agreeing with me and I feel like I'm getting farther and farther away from it all. Would you believe me if I told you that you're the only person whose ever listened to me. I feel like I'm always boring you with my problems. Why would you care anyway? You have way too many problems to think about lil ol' me. All I am is a person you talked to once. Why do you even care? I mean not to sound rude or anything but why? No one else has ever cared for me before so why do you? My parents all abandoned me. Did you know that I live in a house with just me and my older brother because my parents kicked us out? My life has never been easy. I just don't know how to deal anymore. Anyway, I'm sorry to cut this short but I have to go. See ya!
*Ciati*
I signed off and walked into my room. My apartment wasn't that big. Maybe because me and my brother couldn't afford something that big but we still like it. I personally love my room. I hang out in it all the time. I do most of my thinking in my room. Of course I'm always thinking but my room just is the best place for me to think. I remember when Kevin and I first bought this apartment a year a half ago we thought it was the ugliest thing ever. But after tons of work hours, we turned it into home and it's actually very cosy and explains us. I grabbed a magazine and headed to the front room and turned the tv on.
"Hey Ci, anyone call for me today?" Kevin asked walking into our house. "Nope." I answered without looking up from my magazine. "Ci are you doing anything tonight?" I shook my head "Janie's mom wants us to have dinner tonight with them. You up for it?" I nodded. Janine, Janie, is my brother's long time steady girlfriend and I loved her and her family to death. Whenever we were around them, they made me forget my problems because they've helped us out since our mom threw us out.
"What time we leaving?" I asked getting up. "she wants us in half an hour." I nodded and walked back to my room to take a shower. When I hopped out I dressed and then put my hair up into a messy bun with a claw clip. "Ok Ci, ready to go??"
"Yeah." We walked out of the house and hopped into Kevin's car. It was a gift for his sixteenth birthday and we were lucky he got a nice car before they threw us out because my car is pretty crappy. When we got to Janie's house, Janie's mom ran out of the house and gave me a huge hug. "Ciati! How are you?" I smiled "I'm fine."
"That's good that's good. So you guys up for chicken tonight?" I nodded. Janie's mom was the best cook in the world and I loved her chicken. We walked up to the house and when we got in Janine ran down the stairs. She gave Kevin a huge hug and smiled at me "Ciati. How are you?" "Pretty good." She nodded.
"Dinner time!" Janine's mom called and we all sat down to dinner. I won't let myself eat too much. I'm going on a diet. A diet Ciati. That means don't stuff your face! But her cooking's sooo good. Ok, diet starts tomorrow. I softly giggled at myself and continued to eat.
I signed back online to find that Nick has responded to my letter. I opened it quickly and read.
Hi Ciati,
That sucks about you and Carlie. Who knows? Maybe she'll come around. Some time. To answer your question as to why I care...it's simple...I care. When I first saw you sitting there crying to me you looked like an angel but you were so upset. I knew I had to help and ever since that first time talking to you, I've grown to love and care about you. Don't ever forget that. I know you're parents may not care but you have many others around you who do care. And if you did die, we would care, we would miss you, we'd be devastated. Never think about stuff like that again! Just don't give up Ci, I have faith in you. I have an idea, why don't you come down and visit me? I haven't seen you since the concert and I'd love for you to meet Mandy (she's really great and I know you'll love her). Think it over, i can buy the tickets and everything if you want just please consider it!
~Nick
I smiled and thought it over. I would really like to get away from here. And I'd love to visit Nick and meet Mandy. Who knows? She could be really nice. "KEVIN!!" I yelled and he came running into the room. "What's up Ci?" "Would you mind if I went to Florida for a couple of days?" He shook his head "Nah, you go ahead. You need the break anyway." I smiled "Thanks Kev!"
Nick,
I've talked it over with my brother and he said that it'd be fine and I'd love to come visit you. How about next week? I'm on spring break then so it shouldn't be a problem. Email me back so we can figure everything out. See ya then.
*Ciati*
P.S. I'm even looking forward to meeting ManDUH (well, I think I should get used to calling her Mandy huh?? lol)
I sent the email and then shut the computer off. Should I tell everyone I'm leaving? Nah, they wouldn't care. I changed into my PJ's and went to bed.
