It's been a week since mom passed away, I've avoided any contact with anyone. I'd let them leave my meals outside my door and Alison had given me the week off.
I needed it, desperately.
Dialing Amanda's number, I sniffled and then waited. She answered on the third ring "Norah?" She asked.
I cried, the instant her voice came from my phone, the next hour I stayed on the phone talking to her and eventually falling asleep.
The soft feel of someone brushing my hair aside pulled me from my dream state, I slowly opened my eyes looking to her curly blonde hair and wild yellow eyes. "Amanda." I said softly.
"Hey sleepyhead, took me a while to figure out how to get to you." She said staring at my cheek and wiping a tear.
I shut my eyes "She's gone, I can't believe it." I said shaking my head.
