Fallen.

Chapter six

Fallen.

We both got lost looking for something from our wildest dreams

***

I was happy for the first time in what feels like forever!
Clementine was my best friend. I was always there for her and she was always here for me, sadly she was in boarding school when we needed eachother the most. Her parents were getting a divorce and ella left me.
She was going to be here! She would understand me and cry with me and be with me because she was my Clem, and I was her trice.

It was 4:56 pm when I jumped into my dads car turning on the engine, I wanted to pick up Clem from the airport. The airport was two hours away from the town.
At 7:00 I stood outside the airport waiting For a familiar face.
Then there she was, beautiful as ever, in three years she has changed, but then again she was the same.
Her wavy hair was loose, she looked beautiful with nude lips and a little mascara, she wore a tank top tucked into a leather skirt, and paired the outfit with a nice big cardigan, she wore her old run down sneakers. She had a bracelet on her wrists, it said "partners i" the golden heart was held onto her wrist with a grey string, the colour of the string has faded in three years, I look down at my own faded grey bracelet with a golden other half heart which connects to hers it says "n crime"
Clem waves at me with wide smile and I wave back, she walks towards me and stops a meter away.
"You've changed." She says looking me in the eye.
"You too." I say smiling widely.
We both fall into a tight embrace, we are sisters reunited. A tear stains my cheek.
"Three years is far too long trice." I hear the tremor in her voice and know that this is really emotional for her too.
"Far far to long Clem"
And we stand there for five minutes in the most comfortable hug, I have had in a long long time.
I pick up her suit cases and throw them into the boot/trunk. She takes a seat beside me.
"Oh we are so fast and furious" she laughs as I pull out going around 15 mph .
I chuckle and kick it up a notch to 41 mph in a 40 mph zone, yes Clem makes me become a badass.

We sat down in Goldie's golden diner. It was like we had always. We sit and we order two smoked Turkey and onion sandwiches, with extra lettuce. I sigh, today I was hungry. I bite into my sandwich and put it down, never mind I'm not hungry.
That's when he walked in.
Logan looked at me and smirked.
I looked down, what's he doing?
Clem looks at me, then behind her where Logan is smiling at me. Her eyes go wide.
"Trice?!???" She whispers to herself first and then a wide smile makes way to her face "oh my gosh trice!!!!"
I heat up.. "I--its n-not like that Clem! Come on let's go!" I put a twenty on the table and pull her out of the building.
She just laughs and then jumps into my car.

"C-can we stop by the cemetery? I haven't paid my respects to e-ella yet." Clem asks me while still looking down, I nod silently as I turn my car.
When we reach I lead Clem to the weeping willow tree, the wind flows gently as its leaves rustle quietly the tree welcomes us. We walk and our foot steps are muffled by the green grass.
She holds my hand as we near, and when we reach she falls to the ground.
She takes a deep breath, so do I. Last time she saw ella the three of us went out for ice cream. It was Clem's last day.
I hear Clem sob quietly, trying to hide her pain. Ella was a sister to the both of us the same. "Ella.... " I hear Clem's voice tremble and crack. A tear escapes my eyes, I know how much pain Clem is in. "W-why? Didn't you love me? Love us?" She says this as she falls into a warm embrace with me. I feel her body shake as she cries. I gently stroke Clem's hair. "Hush now Clem, she did love us, she loved you and me so much. She saved no love for herself." I say.
"Oh bea! I wasn't here! Our Ella... Our Ella's gone!" She cries in agony and I can't help but cry too. The tears I've been holding in for so long to shed with Clem.
"Come back!" Clem screams into the sky, tears wet her whole face,
"S-she can't Clem.." I say as I hug her tighter, my face drenched as well.
We cry and we cry, together we cry until we have no more tears, and then when we have no more tears we sit there in silence, remembering what was, remembering memories, remembering happiness, remembering our ella.

***

I drive Clem home, I say good bye and tell her that I'd be there tomorrow with her when her parents meet up for the first time in 3 years, she hugs me and I drive off into the fog. I get home after curfew but my parents don't mind, they know how it is between Clem and me. Bitterly sweet.
I lie down on my bed wide awake at 1:30 am, my parents have long ago gone to bed.
My phone buzzes, it's Logan.

Logan: bonfire party in the forest at 2 see you there.

I ignore his message and text Clem.

Me: there's a dumb bond fire party >:(
Clem: let's do it >:)
Me: nope
Clem: come on! It's gona cheer us up!
Me: no way.
Clem: for me? Please bea.

I think of the name bea, maybe I do need to get my mind of of things, and so does Clem. Tomorrows not going to be fun for her at all.
I go to the bathroom and flush one of the pills down the toilet.  And pick up my phone.

Me: fine! Come to my house.

I sit up and search through my closet. I decide on a pair of light washed blue shorts with a white crop top, I pair it with a light brown cardigan. Right after I out on my clothes , I hear a rock hit my window, I slide it open and there stands Clem
"Oh juliet oh juliet let thy romeo in!"
I chuckled as I helped her up.
She looked stunning in her dark blue shorts and white crop top, wearing a white cardigan with blue floral print on it. We were both ready as I was stuffing pillows under my covers, my mom and dad like to check on me every so often.
Soon after me and Clem were ever so carefully climbing out of the window, trying our best to make as little noise we could. When we finally reached the ground we ran to the end of the block where Clem's mom's blue minivan was. I laughed as I saw her motion for me to jump in. We are so badass showing up in our cool ride! It took about 5 minutes to reach the woods. We followed the noise to come to a group of teens having fun around a HUGE bonfire! It was so beautiful, I felt like a fly being pulled to the light. And there I saw him, and his face was being light up by the fire and I felt a red creep up to my neck, and for the first time in a while, I was really nervous.
