"I like the sound of that."
"Me too, but I think your best friend needs you right now. I'll be here when you get back."
In careless haste to grab my keys, I knock Andrea's purse on the floor, spilling her girly shit everywhere. Quickly shoving everything back in, I see her revival list. Curious to see what she has left, I take a peek.
Andrea's Revival List
1. Play Blackjack in Vegas
2. Skinny dip in the ocean
3. Get a tattoo
4. Adopt a dog
5. Have a one-night stand

7. Visit a U.S. Landmark
8. Take a picture with Winona Ryder's Hollywood Star
9. World's largest rubber duck
10. Go to a festival
My eyes catch on item number five. My stomach sinks. My shoulders tighten.
My ears heat as anger and jealousy war within me. What the hell? Andrea went through with a one-night stand? With who? When? Why the fuck hasn't she told me? She's the one driving this whole being honest thing, and this is how I find out she has fucked someone else.
Fuck. My. Life.
Driving to the hospital, my head races with Bailey's warning of danger, the cops telling me I'm involved with dangerous people, and Andrea's one-night stand.
Was it Carlos? Did she not tell me the whole truth?
I sit in the parking lot, and my anxiety has taken over; my breathing is short and rapid. Sweat beads off my forehead, and my hands are shaking to the point of being unable to hold my phone.
"It's just Bailey," I say to myself. "My ride-or-die, my tattoo amigo, my best friend."
My phone vibrates on the seat next to me.
Dollface:Everything works out the way it's supposed to. XOXO
I turn off my phone without responding.
Walking into the hospital, my feet feel like dead weights trudging through thick mud. Susan meets me at the security desk and walks me to Bailey's room.
"How is she?" I ask.
"Awake. Scared. Bailey refuses to talk to anyone until she speaks with you."
"Were you ever figure out who came to visit her that night?" I ask.
"No. Coincidently, all the camera systems went out that night as well."
"Convenient," I mumble.
