She
quickly drowned the noise of the whiny women on the TV out and drifted off to
sleep, when suddenly the phone rang. She jumped up in terror throwing the
popcorn bowl that was in her lap when she fell asleep into the air, blanketing
the floor in the little white edible clouds of butter and salt. It was her best
friend Allison.
“Hello?”
“Hey
Macy! Whatcha doin?” Allison energetically asked
“Oh
nothing just working out” Macy lied, just trying to make her life sound more
productive.
“OH
COOL! Wanna go dancing? Huh huh huh? Then we can have a sleepover like old
times back in high school! And we can have a pillow fight and eat candy and… I
don’t feel so good, I gotta go bye Macy.” Allison quickly hung up the phone.
“Bye?”
Macy placed the phone on the couch next to her, she got that feeling that Alli
was drunk again; as a matter of fact she knew Alli was drunk. She hated it when
she went out drinking, she got so worried about her every time, she always
tried to get Alli to let her drive her home after drinking but she always
denied her help and said she was fine. But Macy was afraid that one day she
wouldn’t be so fine.
Knowing
there was nothing else she could do Macy focused her attention on the TV and
finished the new episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey. She then
switched off the television and drug herself to bed, only to start again
tomorrow. Wait a second! Tomorrow was Saturday! Macy quickly sat up in bed;
“What
should I do tomorrow?” suddenly her mind was racing with all of the
possibilities,
“Horse
back riding? Shopping? Go see Alli, or wait! Maybe I should do something out of
the ordinary and super extraordinary! Like skydiving! Or white water rafting!
The choices were endless!”
But she knew she wouldn’t be brave enough to do any
of those extraordinary things. So she decided to just go shopping with Alli, if
she wasn’t too badly hung over of course.
