...

I sat on my bed, pondering about my relationship. Mark and i.. our relationship hasn't been going so well. We're having several problems, which has surprisingly never happened a lot before, whatever problems were thrown at us, we managed to solve. But this time.. it's more than that. Right then, I hear my phone ringing. I fished my phone out my pockets, being snapped out of my thoughts, and looked at the caller. 'Why would Mark of all people be calling me at 7:30 in the morning..?' I stared at the phone for a hot second, before deciding to pick it up. 

"Hello? Elysia?" He called out, waiting for an answer. "Yes mark? Why did you call me at this time? It's so early.. is something wrong?" I answered, a tad bit concerned that something might be wrong. "Erm.. I think you should come over, so we can have a little.. talk." He answered, his tone was cold. It made me wonder what was going on. I thought on it, whether I should go or not, after all, I have stuff to do at home too. I eventually decided to go. 'What could go wrong..?' I thought. "Yeah sure, we can meet up." I answered. "Good, so, come over to my house at 8. And please, be on time." I scoffed, "I will not be late! I'm never late!" He simply laughed, and hung up. I was almost offended, but then remembered all the times I'd been late. 'Well, I guess he isn't wrong.' I placed my phone on the bed beside me, before I took one last look at the time. '7:40.. Time to get ready.' I got up, and walked over to my closet, opening it and seeing the piles of un-arranged clothing. It was a laughable sight. 'I should probably throw some clothes out huh.. I have a fuck ton of clothes in here, and half of them I never even use.' I then dug through the first pile of clothes, and fished out a pink oversized shirt, and a grey skirt. I held them up, and looked at them. 'Good enough.' Walking over to the bathroom, where I would usually change, I also stumbled upon my watch, kept atop of a drawer, picking it up, I made my way to the bathroom to change.

While I was changing into my skirt, I heard a knock on my door. 'Why is everyone wanting to talk to me so early today?' I just wore my skirt as quick as I could, as to not make the person outside my door wait too long. "COMING!" I shouted out, hoping this person heard me. I scurried to the door, and opened it, to reveal a cheerful Astra. "Hey~!" She said. I simply had the most weirdest smile I could upon seeing her. "You're here! I thought you abandoned me or something! How dare you not come see me!" I said, being my usual over-dramatic self. She chuckled at my reaction. "Well, it's only been a week you big baby, now lemme in." Before I could say anything, she let herself in, and pulled me along with her to my room. "I can walk you know!" She simply ignored me, and dragged me along anyway. All I could do, was sigh and at least try to walk and not be dragged. We got to my room, and she sat me down on my bed, and just stood there in front of me. She leaned over a bit, into my face, with her hair poking my face as well, a bit too close for me honestly. "So, how are you and Mark doin?" When she asked that, I suddenly got reminded that I had to go to Mark's. "Shit. I need to go to Mark's right now! He called me over!" I said, visibly panicking. I sprang up from the bed, and rushed to the door, before going over to a drawer near the door to get my car keys. When I looked up, I flinched at Astra suddenly standing right next to me. It's like she's a magician or something.. It's freaky. She simple laughed, and pushed me out of my door. "Just go to your boyfriends house, I'll wait here!" I glared at her. "Don't even dare going through my stuff, okay?" She put her hands up, and backed away a few steps, as if guilty as charged. "Okay okay, I won't!" I sighed, knowing the girl was way too crazy to deal with, and closed the door in her face, rushing down the stairs to the apartment's parking area, hoping I wouldn't be too late.

- At the house -

I was standing right in front of his door. I was 25 minutes late, but.. he wouldn't mind right? I knocked on his door., No answer. I knocked on his door again., No answer. Right as I was about to knock on it again, the door opened to reveal Mark. He simply motioned his hand for me to go inside, so I did. I looked around his house, I hadn't been here in a bit, and all the items were re-arranged. I sat down on one of his sofas, and he did as well. It was soft, and we just looked at each other and let out an awkward laugh, immediately going silent afterwards. We maintained an awkward silence, which filled the room, for a good 6 minutes, before I decided to talk. "Sorry for being late Mark, I hope you don't mind. What did you wanna talk about exactly..?" He simply looked at me. "Look, Elysia, I just.. want to break up. I don't love you anymore, it's simple really." My eyes widened. I started muttering random things, waving my hands around, not knowing what to do, before I was finally able to speak a proper sentence. "What..? After 4 years Mark. 4 years. of being together, you want to break up?!" He nodded, and stood up. "Look, I haven't ever even been faithful to you, I've had many women behind your back. I just.. don't love you, that's the end of it-" I couldn't even hear the rest of what he was saying. It was shocking yes, but more than I could imagine. Why was this so hard..? It's an average break-up.. But the things he's done behind my back this entire time.. Fresh hot tears threatened to fall out of my eyes, and I think Mark noticed, as he stopped rambling about whatever he'd done behind my back, and turned to look at me, sighing. I simply wiped my eyes, sniffling, and turned to leave. I wouldn't break down here, no, not right now.

-  At the house, in her room -

I was sat on the floor, Astra comforting me. I simply nuzzled her, and sat there in silence. She just patted my head, softly, as she knew that action always calms me down. "You always know what helps me huh?" She chuckled softly at my words, and nodded. "Of course I do, I've been best friends with you since.. pre-school or something!" She was now running her fingers through my hair, and I was simply as comfortable as I could possibly be. She yawned, and I guessed she was falling asleep. Not that I would mind, but I should probably go get her some coffee, cuz she very clearly told me when she came here that she doesn't want to sleep here today, and I think I would be breaking a promise by not bringing her any coffee. I simply wiggle a bit out of her grasp, and scoot away a bit, before looking at her. 'Seems like she's asleep already.. I'll just go sit in the living room for the time being.' I then get up, and decide to place her on my bed, so that she doesn't have to sleep on the floor. I head to the living room, and flop down onto the sofa, pondering upon what I should do for the time being.
