Chapter 38: Just Kiss Me

Emily's POV

My parents went to bed early after dinner on Wednesday evening, so after I finished washing the dishes, I went up to my room earlier than normal. After turning off all the lights in the house, I went up to my room.

When I entered my room, I heard my phone ringing. I walked over to my bed and took it up. Checking the caller ID, I saw that it was Tori. I lay on my bed and picked up the call.

"Hey girl. What's up?"

"Hi Emily. I'm just checking up on you. How are you doing?"

I scrunched up my eyebrows in confusion. "I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Emily, you didn't seem like yourself in school today. You spaced out a lot and I noticed you barely said two words. I was worried about you." She explained.

"Thanks Victoria, but really I'm good." I insist.

"Are you sure?"

"Well, I would be eventually."

"Good. Don't worry about it okay? It will all work out. I know it will."
