One More Secret

I wake up in that same parking lot, except, I notice my surroundings more. I'm by the ocean. Manhattan beach, maybe. I look at myself in the mirror. I look like a complete mess, my hair is tussled, my eyes are puffy and my face is tear stained. I pick up my phone.

Baby come back

I'm worried about you

Where are you???

Just tell me you're ok. Please

Oh my goodness, I left Brian without telling him where I'm going. I left him so worried, especially because I never even answered him. I know he hasn't gotten any sleep either if he's that worried. I call him.

"You're okay," he sighs, relieved.

"Yeah, I'm okay... I fell asleep."

"Where did you go?"

"I accidentally went to Manhattan beach. I just kept driving."

"Are you coming back?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye."

I start the engine and drive back to campus.
