Michelle!, James called down the hall. Kevin was on the phone, yet again calling his sister, Michelle. James couldnt stand Kevin. He knew he treated Michelle like shit, but she always took him back. No wonder shes depressed, he thought to himself. He called down the hall one more time before telling Kevin to fuck off, Michelle was busy. Well tell her to get off her ass. I need her to come here right now! Kevin yelled through the phone. Whatever. Hold on. James walked down the hall to Michelles room and knocked on the door. Surprisingly she heard him even through her music was up so loud. Michelle came to the door and peaked through. What? she said weakly. Kevin is on the phone. Michelle froze her pulse racing. This was the moment she had to prove to herself she could do. She picked up the phone. Kevin, we have to talk. I know. I have some good news. I got that contract! he exclaimed. Oh god, Michelle thought. Thats good, she answered wearily. I know, but whats wrong? You sound disappointed. Well Im just nervous, she answered. About what? You have no reason to be. I love you. This will make things better. I cant do it, she thought, hes right. It will be better. James knew what was happening. Every time he said I love you It pulled her back in. As soon as she hung up the phone, Michelle broke down. She had given in yet again.
