CHAPTER 5

🌜

VALINCIA

"Dude you've been going somewhere everyday for the last 2 weeks" Dorian looks at me suspiciously. He probably thinks I'm doing drugs or something but I'm a a good kid, and don't involve myself with them.

I put in some snacks and a water bottle in to the bag along with my sketchbook.

" I've been going to the lake to fill out my sketchbook, that's all." I pick up everything heading out the door.

"Bye, love ya. Oh and tell mom that I'm out." I say exiting the house.

I put in my headphones walking down the sidewalk to go over to the park.

I'm going to be honest with you, there's been two other things that have been making me go to the lake.

My parents gave me the talk a week ago. It was about what I wanted to do in the future.

On one hand they tell me to do what I want to and on the other they slowly pressure me into shit like college.

Like chill it's only been the summer since high school ended.

But I feel very useless right now.

My moms a pediatrician and my dads a software architect. Blaynes in college studying to be a orthodontist. Dorian has a small business for his clothing brand which is running pretty well.

Then there's me who has no idea what to do with her life.

You'll figure out

So then I started stressing about it which has caused me to want to be alone and just draw.

And then there's her.

I've seen her everyday for the last two weeks.

She just seems so interesting.

I've noticed something about her though. Everyday she looked sadder and sadder. She looked defeated and lost.

Poor girl

I swear I saw tears running down her face yesterday.

I've been wanting to go up to her but I've been holding myself back. Like if I talked to her she would disappear.

♥♥♥

I finally reached the trail which lead to the lake. Walking towards my usual spot, I see the girl but this time she's full on sobbing.

I've never seen a person cry this hard

She's on the edge  highest rock staring down at the water.

That's dangerous

I should probably go ask her what's wrong.

VAL GO NOW

but what if she wants to be alone. I mean I like being alone when I'm crying.
