| Helen Ware |
Helen Ware hung up the phone after finishing her conversation with her friend Angela Hines. Helen was always calling Angela. Angela had told Helen that Karen had called her too. Helen took a sip of the cup of coffee on her desk. She almost choked. She had forgotten that the cup coffee had been on her desk for more than an hour. She started to throw the half-full cup of coffee in the wastebasket, but she remembered the note that the cleaning crew had left her before. "Please do not throw liquid into the trash cans." The cleaning crew had even gone to her manager on her. She decided against throwing the cup in the trash. She sat the cup back on her desk.
Helen's mind was spinning because of the email she had received from her friend Tammy Andrews. Helen still could not believe what Tammy had written.
Dear Helen,
I am writing this letter to do several things. First, to apologize for telling all of you all's business the other day. I should not have done that.
Second, I no longer want to be a part of this group. Of the past few weeks, hanging out with you all is not fun. All we do is talk about people. I am tired of talking about people. It was fun at first, but now it is just down right wrong. I am at fault, too. I should have never told you all the things I told you. It felt good to be the one that knew everyone's business, but now, I do not even want to know my own business much less anyone else's business. I took a long look at myself in the mirror and I did not like what I saw. This will probably cause me all kinds of trouble, but I am willing to take that chance because I want my soul to be saved.
I wish only the best for you all. I mean no harm by this letter. I will not cause you all any harm. It is my hope that you all will cause me no harm. I have asked God to forgive me. I am asking each of you to forgive me.
Be Blessed,
Tammy
Helen laughed as she thought about how Angela had reacted to the news about the letter. Helen expected Angela to react as she had. It was funny how upset Angela got at the least little thing.
Helen knew that Tammy was right to a point. Her and her friends did gossip too much. Helen could not argue with that fact. She just could not believe that Tammy wanted to end their friendship like this. Helen was good friends with Tammy, much closer than the rest of the girls. Angela did not like Tammy. Mary was indifferent, but she was indifferent to most things. Karen did not seem to care for Tammy either. Helen was the only one who actually cared anything for Tammy.
Tammy was a nice person. She was always cordial to Helen. Tammy even let Helen borrow some of her clothes, which Helen still had. Helen tried to figure out what Tammy had to be thinking.
Helen played with her long black hair. It was time for her to get her weave adjusted. She pulled at the loose strands of her hair. She threw them in the wastebasket. She hoped that the cleaning crew did not leave her a note about her hair.
Helen looked at her longs stocking less legs. She needed to shave her legs as well. She let her hands run the length of her long legs. She was so skinny, that she could feel the bones in her legs. She could not figure out why she had lost so much weight recently. She went from a size 8 to a size 6. She was not trying to do that either, but she had.
Helen thought about her conversation with Tammy when Tammy noticed Helen's weight lose, "Girl, you are loosing a lot of weight. Is it because you are worried about what Peter is going to say if he finds out that you told the girls about that girl that he got pregnant?" Helen blew a breath. Her cousin Peter had told her about that in confidence, but Mary had convinced Helen to tell all his business. Mary had a crush on Peter. Why had Helen opened her mouth?
Helen felt bad at that moment. Maybe Tammy was right. They did gossip too much. Their gossiping had gotten several people into a bunch of trouble. Helen put her head down on her desk. She felt sick to her stomach. She was sure that it had something to do with all the gossiping she had done. Maybe it had to do with the lie she had told Tammy.
Helen's head started hurting as she thought, "Why did I tell Tammy that I had been filmed while having sex? That was such a lie. I cannot believe that she did not tell anyone either. I guess Tammy can keep her mouth shut. Why did I say something about it when I was with the girls? I am in a mess. Lord, you have got to get me out of this."
Helen lifted her head. She reached into the credenza behind her head and grabbed two aspirin. She did not want to, but she took the pills with a swig of the old coffee. She almost gagged on the pills, but she managed to swallow them down before she spit them out.
She opened her email program and located the email from Tammy. She clicked the reply button and responded to the email.
Tammy,
Of course, this email shocked me. I can't believe that you don't want to be friends with us anymore, well I can see why the other girls, but me too. I thought we were friends, but I guess I was the only one who interested in a friendship. If you do not want to be friends anymore, then that is cool. I am not going to cause any trouble for you, but Angela probably is. Mary and Karen will follow Angela's lead, so watch out.
-Helen
Helen pressed the send button before she could tell Tammy that she was right for not wanting to hang out with the evil gossiping women. Helen was glad that Tammy had the courage to get out now. Helen had to figure out how she was going to get away from the Cafe Sisters herself.Labels: Gossip |
