"Tony! Tony where’s Mommy?" Francesca called from outside of his bedroom door. "I dunno." He answered. "Uh! You never know anything!" she yelled running down the stairs. "Mom!" she called through the house. "What?" her mother asked. "I’m going over to Meg’s house. IF by some miracle Nick calls tell him I’ll be home later tonight." Francesca said. "Ok…" her mom responded. Francesca grabbed her keys and went out to her car. She opened the door to her purple Durango and got in. She leaned her head back on the seat, and closed her eyes, letting out a sigh. She put the key in the ignition, turned the car on, and pulled out of the driveway and sped down the street. "What’s My Age Again" by Blink 182 was on the radio, and Francesca played the beat out on the steering wheel as she sat at a traffic light. The song was over and the DJ started talking. It was one of those long distance dedications. "Always Be My Baby" by Mariah Carey was the song requested. Francesca let out another sigh, as she listened to the words.
"We were as one
For a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting
That you would always be mine
Now you want to be free
So I’ll let you fly
‘Cause I know in my heart
Our love will never die…"
Francesca pulled up into Meghan’s driveway, and turned off the car. Meghan was waiting outside for her. "Hey girl." She said, standing up. "Hi Meg." Francesca replied. "How long has it been since you heard from him?" Meghan asked. "Three months." Francesca said. "Come on inside. We’ll think of something to get your mind off of him." Meghan said, opening the door. "Ya know, maybe he’s busy." Meghan mentioned, as they went upstairs to her room. "He’s been busy for 3 months then. He had been calling practically everyday…then one day he just stopped." Francesca said, plopping down on a bean bag chair. "I know how ya feel…" Meghan said, turning on her radio. "Meg you see Dennis everyday. You couldn’t possibly know what I’m going through." Francesca said sadly. "I’m sorry." Meghan apologized. "Don’t be. Come on let’s go somewhere. I need to find someone else." Francesca said, getting up from her seat. "For real? You don’t care about your promise to Nick?" Meghan asked, getting excited. "Nope. I’m cutting all ties with him. If he can’t spend a minute or two of his precious time to call me anymore…I don’t want anything to do with him." Francesca said as they went down stairs. "Ooh goodie! I can set you up now! I know the perfect guy…" Meghan said. "Yea? What’s his name?" Francesca asked. "Lucas…"
