Perfect Always

“I miss Adam. It’s been a month since we’ve seen each other. I don’t know if I can do this anymore.” I focus on my torn nails as we amble across the parking lot.

“What do you mean? Stay here, or stay with him?” She stops in front of the entrance doors.

I swipe my key card over the security lock and swing the door open. “I love him. We’re miserable apart, and we have two more years of school.”

“It’s only a week till summer break.” She skips ahead of me and presses the elevator button. “Let’s do a movie night. We’ll order pizza and eat popcorn.”

“Yeah, but with my job, I only get three days of break.”

“It’ll work out. You’ll see. Focus, Chloe, movie night.” She lays her arm over my shoulders as we exit the elevator.
