Friendships Never Last

Lena looked down at the picture on her phone screen with tears welling in her eyes. Her own smiling face looked back at her, and to her left was a redhead planting a kiss on her cheek. It had been a month, and it still felt like yesterday. She still remembered exactly what she was doing when she had gotten the phone call. She stared at her phone for a few moments, her eyes stinging. The tears escaped as she swiped away from the picture and read the last text message: I'll see u tonight I love u. She moved away from the message and composed a new one.

"What are you doing tonight? Don't wanna be alone."
