That night, I stayed in, watching movies. I didn't want to go out, or have company.

I picked up the phone, dialing my sister, Anna's phone number.

After the third ring, there was a voice on the other end, "Hello?"

"Hi," I said, "Was you busy?"

"No, just washing dishes. What are you doing?" She asks.

"Nothing, trying to find something on television. Wanna come down for a visit?" I say, beginning to cry.

"I could. When? What's going on?" She senses something is up with me.

"Nothing. It's just that me and Alex split up, and I need you here."

"Well, I'll tell ya what, I am taking my vacation starting tomorrow. I was gonna call you. So, I will see you tomorrow?"

"That would be great. What about mom? Was you gonna go up there to see her?"

"I was, but I spent my last vacation with her, so I will come down there with you. Can you pick me up at the airport tomorrow?"

"I can't tomorrow, but I have a friend who owes me a favor. Call me with your arrival time, okay?"

"I will, as soon as I find out. So, who's this friend? Male or female?" She says, with a grin on her face.

"Male, and single." I say, peaking her interest.

"Cute?"

"Adorable. And he's the sweetest thing that ever walked."

"Cool, I will see you tomorrow and we will go out and do something to take your mind of the ingrate," she giggles under her breath. "So, what did he do?"

"Nothing," I say, wanting to change the subject. "Well, I saw him at McDonald's with another girl."

"So, who was she?"

"His ex-girlfriend, Marisa."

"Oh, so you know her name?"

"Yeah, she came by here yesterday and talked to me."

"What did she say? She didn't defend him, did she?"

"Well," I pause, "she said that I am the only thing he has been talking about. She said he was in love with me."

"You don't believe her, do you? I mean, if he did, he would tell you right?"

I knew she had a point, "Yea, I guess. I am gonna wait and talk to him, see what he says."

"Well, I gotta go. Michael ordered pizza, and it is here. I will see you tomorrow."

"Okay, love ya sis, good night," I say, smiling.

"Nite," she says, hanging up the phone.
