Chapter 5


       “Wow, fun,” I say under my breath. I walk up and look out my window. I see a house across the street, which I’m going to assume it’s Emma and Eric’s house. Did they get married?
       I walk around a little to find the front door. I open it and walk out. I run up and down the hallways to try and find a way to get out.
       “Looking for something?” A deep voice asks. He’s looks a little older, maybe 30 years old.
       “Do you know a way out of here?” I ask him not really looking at him. I just keep turning my head like an idiot.
       “Follow me,” He says and leads me down the hall and at an elevator. “Which way?” He asks, but instead of answering, I just press the down button. “Okay, I guess we are going down.” He says. I smile at him and he gives me a smile that shows me his white, straight, teeth.
       We enter the elevator and he lets me go first. “Ladies first,” he says. The elevator had cheap music. Two other people came onto the elevator and came off on the first floor like me and the guy I just met.
       He walks me out to the front of the apartment building. “Thank you,” I say and he replies with the usual, “You’re welcome.”
       “What’s your name?” I ask him.
       “Alex, what about you?”
       “Clare,” I reply plainly.
       “Do you want to hang out sometime?” He asks.
       “Yeah, where do you live?” He tells me his apartment room and then walks away.
       I stand there thinking about what happened. I walk across the street, looking both ways. This street is quiet so not many cars have passed by. I take a deep breath and knocked on the door. It felt like forever before she opened the door and when she finally did, she said to me, “I thought you were coming over tomorrow, what are you doing here?”
       “I just, uh, was lonely,” I said. I was pretty proud of my answer.
       “Alright, well, come in I guess,” She said unenthusiastically. Way to be a best friend.
       Emma looks different. She dyed her hair black and gained a little wait. I was going to say something and then I remembered, I’ve seen her before like this, well, my 33 year old self did. “Where’s Eric?”
       “Probably cheating on me,” She says like she doesn’t even care. “I shouldn’t have left my third husband for me,” I look at her with wide eyes. “What?” She asks nonchalantly. 
       "He's your fourth husband?!" I say with a surprised look on my face.
       "Yeah, you were my maid of honor for all the weddings. How did you forget? Have you been drinking again?" She asks.
       "No, I just forgot," I said. What happened to my best friend. She looks like crap and she has had four husbands. Well, I haven't even had one. Guess four is better than zero.
