"hannah, get out of bed" aaliyah huffed, attempting to take my sheets off of me.

i simply groaned and faced my back towards her.

"you need to get out of your room and see the world" she told me.

"there's nothing to see" i mumbled under my pillow.

"it's been two weeks, it's time to go talk to people" she sat down.

"why? So they can leave me and I'll feel hurt?" I sat up.

"you don't need a boy" she shook her head.

easy for her to say. someone that's been single for about a month and she's the one that broke up with her former boyfriend.

i don't know why. he was so cute.

"easy for you to say" i huffed getting up and putting my hair into a messy bun.

"not all guys are like jack" she sighed.

"agree to disagree" i said as i went downstairs.

i may be acting childish but i don't care.

"dylan wasn't like jack" she defended herself.

"then why'd you break up with him?" I asked, with a raise of my eyebrows.

"i have my reasons" she crossed her arms.

of course she does.

"right, i forgot" i rolled my eyes.

"what does that mean?" she scoffed.

"you know everything about me and you never tell me anything" i confronted her.

"yeah, i know everything about you but you never tell anyone what you're thinking or feeling, you're so closed off from everyone" she told me.

it's true. i've always been this way, except with jack.

"i'm just a closed off person" i shrugged.

"being closed off isn't necessarily a characteristic" she informed me.

"good to know" i mumbled, taking a spoonful of cereal.

i'm really over this conversation. i just need space. but it's impossible to get that from your best friend.

"want do you want from me? i'm sick of fighting, ali" i sighed.

"you have that meeting with the company tomorrow night, right?" she asked me, ignoring my stress. 

"ugh, don't remind me" i groaned, putting my bowl into the sink.

"well let's go to the mall, get you something nice to wear" she wiggled her eyebrows.

"fine, whatever" I waved her off.

"i'll back in 20, you better be ready" she directed towards me before finally leaving my apartment.

i sat on my bed and sighed. i don't even want to go out, i'm tired.
