Entry #2

~
Sheba rolled over in bed quickly, answering the phone on the first ring. Her eyes popped open in time to see a number she didn’t recognize.
“Hello,” she groaned.
“I’m sorry, She-b.” Her friend’s voice cracked between sobs.
“Crystal? What’s wrong?”
“I – just can’t – take this – no more,” Crystal gasped, bursting into another round of tears.
“Crystal, where are you?”
“I – don’t – know,” she heaved. “I just – left – and kept – walking.”
“Tell me what’s wrong, Crys?”
A heavy heart-wrenching cry screeched through the phone tearing Sheba from her bed. Stuffing her legs into her jeans, she demanded, “Tell me where you are, Crys. I’m coming to get you.”
