Drifting- prose
I read a couple of dialogue-only stories on fanfiction.net. They were really novel and intriguing, so I decided to try one of my own for this week's linebyline "got a problem with that".
Hope you enjoy, and that you'll share your opinions with me! Thanks!
Ring. Riiiiiing.
Hello?
Hey, Jen. It's me.
Oh, hey, Meg. What's up?
Well... you now how we were gonna go to the mall Friday night? Well, Dex invited me to a party that night... and I said I'd go. I'm sorry!
Yeah, me too. We'd had this planned for a week, you know.
Yeah, I know, I know. And I do feel really really bad about it.
Well, you could always cancel with Dex instead. He should understand.
But, Jennifer, you don't understand. He's this close to making a move! I don't wanna...
Yeah, I get it. But, Meg, I'm gonna say it again, I really don't like that Dex. He doesn't seem right for you at all, and, well... I don't trust him.
... ... Well.... you're just JEALOUS!! I'm a free person; I can make my own choices!! If I like him shouldn't that be good enough for you?! Aren't best friends supposed to make an effort with their friends' boyfriends?? I'm going to keep on seeing him, and if you've got a problem with that, you can just leave your stupid nose out of it!!
... ... ...
Oh... oh, Jen, I'm sorry! I'm really sorry! I'm just really stressed out right now, with finals coming up and driver's ed and work... you understand.
Yeah, I understand, Meg. I just wish you did.
What? What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing. Nevermind. Anyway, maybe we can go to the mall Saturday or Sunday instead.
Yeah, sure... wait, Dex was having another party Saturday, and I need Sunday to study... we can do it next Friday.
Sounds great. I'm looking forward to it.
Good... oooh, Dex is calling on the other line!! I'll cya around, Jen!
Ok. Bye.
Click.
You're drifting downriver, Megan. And I don't have a life ring long enough to stop you following him over the waterfall. I'm sorry... that I can't save you. But, maybe... I can help you find the surface on the other side of the cliff.
Cliok.
