"Lexi, It's me. Open the damn door!" Emily's heels as she knocked repeatedly on a sister-in-law store. She waited impatiently and occasionally found herself tapping her foot on the floor. Her heart was heavy, her mind was blurred, and she found herself feeling as though she was carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders.
"I'm coming, you mad woman!" Emily heard Lexi screaming from the other end of the door, and not long after, she heard the turning of a key, and then the door could open.
Just like the last time she had seen Lexi worse for wear, this time the bags under her eyes looked more profound, her lips were cracked, and she looked as though she had lost weight over the past few days.
"What do you want from me?" she asked irritably. Without wanting to answer, Emily pushed her out of the way and walked herself into Lexi's apartment, and once she was in, she observed the place.
