chapter 26

When I woke up it was actually same day. I lifted my head and looked around in my room. I saw it all like for the first time. It was 3 p.m. and my head was aching. I felt dirty, I haven�t washed my make-up before going to bed. I had taken all my clothes off in the middle of night and they were crumpled on my feet. Then I saw the CD in one corner. It was lying on the broken pieces of the case. I got up and left it there.

After shower and brushing my teeth I felt little better. It still hurt. But it wasn�t as miserable it had been last night. I put on old jeans and a T-shirt. No shoes. Everyone in US always laughed at me when seeing me walking around wearing just the socks on my feet or nothing at all. That was me. And I knew who and what I was. And that�s why my mind was so clear, even with the pain.

I went down. I drank a large glass of water. I noticed on my way that Brian and Leighanne were at home. I had no idea what time they had got back so I tried to keep it down. But there was someone determined ruing my life.

The phone rang so I answered.
-Hello?
-Anna, is it you?
I didn�t answer.
-We need to talk.
I got so furious.
-Hold on.
I put the call on hold and run into the music room. I found what I was looking for fast because I had been listening that CD just days earlier.
I searched the song, pushed play, got call from hold back on and put the phone in front of the speaker. I listened when the music fill the room.

�You and me
We used to be together
Every day together always

I really feel
I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end

It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real,
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me 'cause it hurts�

When the song ended, I turned the volume down. Then I checked. He was still listening. I hang up. I had nothing to say to him. And I didn�t want to hear any explanations. I didn�t need any. It did hurt, yes. But mainly it was because I was an adult and responsible for what I had done. AJ didn�t owe me anything. Not anymore.
