Running from yesterday

Chapter 12

I hear my phone ringing and I quickly grab it. It's Meline on the other end. I feel a surge of relief, thinking that she has forgiven me for our argument. I greet her warmly and listen to what she has to say. She tells me that she needs a favor from me. She wants me to go to a nearby store and buy some things for her.

Tampons

Pads

Hot cheetos

Peanut butter

Pickles

And midol

Ah shes on her period. Makes sense.

After carefully jotting down the list of items, I inform her of my readiness by saying "okay." With efficiency in mind, I quickly put on a comfortable pair of jeans and slip into a cozy hoodie. Once my feet are snugly settled in a pair of slippers, I make my way towards the exit.

As I reach the nearest pharmacy, I prioritize obtaining the essential items. Fortunately, the much-needed Midol is conveniently located in the first aisle, bringing a sense of relief. While engrossed in checking off the items on my phone, I unintentionally collide with someone while making my way towards the snack aisle.

The next thing I know, I find myself on the floor, caught off guard by the unexpected encounter.the person stands up and reaches out her hands to help me up while apologizing. Looking up at her, I graciously accept her extended hand.
