"You can't live in there," Kevin yelled from outside.

I walk over to the front door of my stupid apartment and crack it open.

"What do you want?" I asked dryly.

"For you to come out," he smiled brightly.

"I'm okay," I said as I began to shut the door.

Kevin's hand pushes it back and he walks in.

"Sure, come in, please," I said sarcastically and closed the door shut.

He opens the blinds letting the sunlight in.

"What the hell are you doing?" I walk over to shut them.

Now he starts to pick up all of the food on my coffee table.

"Kevin stop," I tugged at his waist.

He doesn't stop and he just keeps on cleaning the place up.

"How can you live like this?" He asked. "It's trashy."

"I like to surround myself with wha I am," I explained and grabbed a coke from the fridge.

"Averie you have to get out, the world calls for you," Kevin said.

"No it doesn't," I defended.

"Then I want you too, your friends want you to," he said. "Please Averie, it's been so long and-

"Does that include Elijah?" I asked looking into his brown eyes.

"Sure," he smiled. "But-"

"Then where are we going?" I asked.

"The mall," he explained.

"I'll get ready then," I mumbled and walked into my room.

It's been over a month since I've seen Elijah, or anyone really.

Haley and Kevin came over once in a while, tried to clean up the place and get me to leave but I would just refuse each time.

I get calls and texts from all my friends everyday but I never responded.

I would if it was Elijah but I mean, he hasn't said a word.

I throw on some black leggings, my white crop top, and my Nike frees.

I come out of my room and place my hair into a pony tail.

"No makeup?" Kevin asked.

I narrow my eyes at him annoyed and walk back into my room.

I do the whole foundations, bronzer, eyes, and lips.

I come back out and laugh at Kevin whose staring me up and down.

"I'm just so amazed that I'm getting you out like that," he snapped his fingers.

"I guess it's time, I've been depressed long enough, still kind of am," I said and grabbed my purse.

"I got you," Kevin wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

***

I think someone took my heart and threw it at a broken glass.

I'm just so mad and angry, why the hell did I let Kevin convince me?

How did I even convince myself?

I fucking hate life and I should've just shunned myself from the light and be in my bed, having Netflix marathons.

"So what are do you want to do?" Alexia asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.
