40. Boundaries

— 21 years ago —
Lena walks out, and I crash in my bed feeling a strange heaviness in my heart. How easily she put all the blame on me. I always thought childhood memories and our friendship will weigh more.
It’s barely been a year since she got herself a boyfriend and she is not trusting me anymore. Questioning me and calling me jealous, as if my efforts to be friends with Garrett mean nothing.
The connection I thought we shared…. was never there in the first place. The thought makes my eyes wet.
“Miko! Dinner is ready.” Mama’s voice calls me out after hours.
I glance at the clock and groan. “Great. I wasted my day lamenting for someone who doesn’t even care,” I mutter to myself as my mouth turns bitter at the thought.
I freshen up, then walk down. Antonia
