Chapter 32
She poured the cereal into the bowl and then added the milk. She was tired and didn't feel like doing anything other than veggin' out in front of the TV all day. Picking up her bowl, she headed into the next room and sat on the couch.
She was still depressed over what had happened yesterday. She'd spent all night tossing and turning. She took a few bites of the cereal and set it aside, her stomach was too messed up to eat. She moaned, flopping over, resting her head on the pillow. She wished she'd never gotten involved in the whole thing, then she could just go on with her life. It was far too late for that now. She turned and stared up at the ceiling, trying to decide what to do, when the phone rang. Reaching behind her, she fumbled to pick it up. "'Lo?" She mumbled.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Hi Nick. What's up?"
"Just calling to see what's going on. I forgot to ask before but did you ever call Vanessa?"
"Actually she called me."
"Really?!" Nick asked in shock.
"Yeah, she wanted me to come over to talk."
"So what happened?"
"We got in a fight. She called me a bitch and I told her she was selfish." She heard Nick exhale loudly. "So I walked out after she turned her back on me. I swear Nick, I'm so tired, tired of it all. I have no energy to do anything and it's all I think about. I can't take it anymore, I can't keep doing this to myself, it's just not fair."
Nick could hear the wariness in her voice. "Oh Lana, I'm sorry baby. I got you all involved in this."
"It's alright, I guess it would've happened anyway."
"Yeah but this has nothing to do with you. It's not fair."
She laughed sadly.
"Are you gonna be ok? Want me to come by?"
"Nah I'm alright. Just got a lot of thinking to do."
"I'm really sorry baby."
"Don't be, it's alright." Nick sighed.
"Well I'm gonna let you go Nick. I'll talk to you later alright."
"Yeah, later honey."
"Bye."
Nick listened as the line went dead and placed the phone back in the holder. He had to talk to someone, someone who could help him figure out what to do. Sighing, he grabbed his towel and headed out to the pool.
