“Rayleigh?” Chrissy and Ava said at the same time.
“Oh my god, where have you been? I've been worried sick.” Ava ran over to me.
“You? I almost ate myself into a food coma I was so worried.” Chrissy said as she chewed on carrot sticks.
“I'm fine. I'm sorry I worried you.” I hugged Ava.
“Why are you crying?” She felt the tears on my cheek.
Before I could answer I heard the back door open and close. I didn't want to face her right now, not again. We needed space.
“Its nothing.” I ran up the stairs.
The girls knew me well enough to know that if I storm off not to chase me. I would come around when I was ready to. I rushed into my room and slammed the door behind me.
“Rayleigh. Are you okay?” Kate rushed over to me.
“No.” Tears streamed down my face before I could catch them.
