Broken pieces

 Joey remembered the day she collapsed. Dropped her knees to the floor, both palms covering her burning face, wiping away hot tears from her swollen eyes.She stood up, tend to walk forward, but she collapsed in the end again. When she was bathing, she cried out loudly, clear everything out from her throat. She let the steaming water carried away her tears and suffers. She grabbed a towel and wrapped around her body, dropped her knees and started to cry again. Food meant nothing to her. When she grabbed the bread, her tears fell on it and she tried hard to swallow the bread with tears. The only thing she wanted to do is sleep. Forget everything that happened.....

Actually, things started to change their path earlier on. Joey knew that. Her best friend, May just walked with Joey after school. Joey tried to come out with a topic. But, when May saw her "new" friend, Grace, May ran to Grace. May just walked away from Joey. Joey was stunned, speechless and heartbroken. She clenched her fist tightly and walked away as fast as she could, didn't want to look at them walking together happily like a couple. They walked faster than her. Although Joey didn't want to look at them, she still peeked at them and she caught May turned her head and looked at her expressionlessly. That was a cold face. May and Joey used to be super best friends, shared almost everything. Now, May has a "new" best friend which is Grace, so she dumped the old toy, Joey. Most of the people were jealous of them. They were wondering how could May and Joey were so close together. Now,it was a past. History.

When Joey woke up, all her sadness, anger, jealousy and confusion flushed back to her. Sick. Tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't stop thinking. "F* U! How could you do that to me?"she whispered alone in the dark room. The next day, her mind became positive. If Joey really wanted May, she could get back May. Joey was smart, she could think of a way to improve their friendship. There's gotta be. So, Joey tried to talk to her every day, tried to please her. Yeah, their friendship improved, but not as close as before. There was a gap between them. When May went to Joey's house. There was a silence. Long.... So bored being together. There was no topic at all except a few lame talks. Joey was the one who started the topic. Most of them. While May just answered shortly. It was not a chat,it looked more towards to an interview.

Joey was a very busy person, she got lots of work to do. Unfortunately, May just didn't understand. May hated when Joey was busy. It made things worse. Joey had to choose either friends or work. It was very difficult. Something pulling down her neck. Work was so important, but she didn't want to lose her friends too. Why couldn't her friend being understanding? WHY? The thing she afraid the most had came to her. She had no choice but to face it. When Joey asked May for a small help, May couldn't do it. May didn't even care to bother what was Joey doing. May threw it as a trash. Joey had put a lot of effort into it, but may threw it away. Joey couldn't believe  it. Her best friend just threw Joey's years of effort into the bin. "How could she?" Joey was so disappointed and heartbroken. She was fed up! Her best friend didn't appreciate it at all! What?! May didn't treat Joey as a best friend anymore. May didn't give a damn to what happen to Joey. Joey felt betrayed. Hell. Nobody cares bout her.

It's so tiring....to get back a friend.
