Nineteen

Tracy squeezed my thigh, assuring me of her trust in me.

I gulped, "How can you believe in me that much?" I was glad to be surrounded by people who loved me and would stand for me any day, I just did not expect them to still have a faint hope in me after my biggest fuck up of putting them in trouble.

"Because, you are the only one I know and I hope you figure out a way to save our friend too." Tracy affirmed, she scooted closer to me and rubbed my cheek with her thump.

I wanted to cry again after the tears she wiped off dried there, I wanted to hug her and tell her I was a bad friend who she had accepted gladly.

But instead, I found myself nodding in agreement to her words. I could never afford to lose her. I love her. She was true to me right from the beginning of our friendship since Freshman. 

"I wonder how she's doing." Tracy murmured and put her head on my chest.
