Apartment Otaku

Goodbyes

Alyssa laid on her back and looked up at the creamy ceiling. Everyone was gone, they moved on without her.

She lazily sat up, her black hair falling messily in her pale face. Her flushed face that was recently soaked in tears was now dry and scratchy.

Her fingers stretched out, grasping her phone, opening the messages that were unanswered and one sided.

"Come back.."

"Don't move on without me.."

"There's always room in this big apartment for you, I'll always wait, I'll always-"

Just when she was floating in self pity, her phone vibrated and her eyes quickly glanced at the screen.

One New Message
"How are you, it's been a while! A couple friends of mine will be in town and you should meet up with them. It must be pretty lonely at the apartment without me, kidding. I wasn't that important anyways.
-Jake"

Alyssa pulled herself out of bed and walked towards her bedroom door. She shouldn't be sad. Just because a few people moved on doesn't mean anything. She'll find new housemates, she'll find new friends, she'll have new adventures, and everything will change for her.

Just as she began slipping on sneakers, the front door opened and her phone fell out of her hands, making a small thud sound as it hit the floor (btw it broke, rip iPhone 5c).

"Reed?"

Standing by the door was Reed with a giant smirk plastered on his ridiculous face. Behind him, was a tall boy who nervously smiled.

"I'm home!"
