Chapter 5:

*1 Week Later, At Graduation Rehearsals*

"Okay, that was good everyone. Just remember who you are sitting next to and remember we will practice again the day of the ceremony." Principal Jones announced through the microphone on the podeum.

I found myself slowly slipping into my own world as I stared at the blue and white silk hanging behind Mr. Jones. I found myself thinking more and more about the trip to America, the sooner it came. I had no idea what I was going to do when I was there. I wouldn't be able to get cell phone service over seas, so it's not like I could talk on the phone with Harry when I had nothing better to do. I've thought about asking Mom and Dad if he can come. I don't think they would allow it. As they say, I'm supposed to be spending time with Grandma, Pap-Paw and Chase, since I never see them.

I mean, yeah, I'm excited about seeing my older brother that I haven't seen in 6 years, but I know I won't have anything to do while I'm over there. I'm gonna be leaving Cheshire for a month and a half, and I'm not going to have any way to talk to anyone from here.

"Addie, everyone is leaving now." I was yanked out of my world by Zoey.

"Huh, oh I knew that." I said as I grabbed my stuff and turned to walk away.

"Addie, what's wrong? You seen different. It started ever since you've been ditching me for Harry. What's up with that?" Zoey stopped me by pulling on my wrist.

"Umm, maybe because when I needed you the most, you weren't there, and he just so happened to be there." I snapped back at her. I yanked my wrist out of her grip. She took her left hand and threw it against the side of my face.

"What the hell was that for?" I yelled at her, holding my face in my hand.

"Addison, where are you? I've been waiting for the past 20 minutes for you, by my car." I heard Harry announce through the auditorium. "Zoey, what are you doing?" He ran through the chairs and over to us.

"She's being a bitch about nothing. I'm her best friend, not YOU!" She yelled at Harry. She shoved him from his spot in front of me.

"Zoey, stop. You're over reacting over nothing. He was just there for me when you weren't. And it just so happened that he was being a better friend than you ever were." I grabbed Harry's arm and walked out of the auditorium.

"What was that all about?" Harry asked.

"I have no idea." I hoestly stated.

We got into his car and drove off. I found myself slipping into this wonderworld I had been in for the past week.

When I leave, I'm really gonna miss Harry. I'm not going to have my best friend there when I need him. Things are gonna be different in another week.

Hary pulled up to my house.

"Well, graduation in two days! Are you excited?" He asked getting out of his side of the car.

He walked over to my side and opened the door for me.

"Yeah. I guess I am." I smiled, excited about not having to deal with school for a while.

We walked up to the front door. "Well, I guess I will be seeing you in two days. Are you coming over to my house before graduation to get ready?"

"Yes sir, I am!" I smiled at him.

I don't know what was rushing through me at this time, but, I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled his face closer to mine for a kiss. I allowed him to move back after the kiss, by releasing my grip on him. I opened the front door, knowing Mom was home early from work today. I quickly smiled at him before shutting the wooden door between us.

"Oh, Adds, I was just on my way to my nail appointment. Did you want to get your nails done too?" Mom said from behind me.

"Yeah, umm, just wait a second. I'm gonna go put my stuff in my room."

I ran upstairs and put my bag on my bed. I ran back down the stairs to find Mom not by the door anymore. "Mom?" I asked. I heard shouts from outside the door. "Mom?" I opened the door to see what I didn't want to ever see.

Harry with blood on his face, Mom comforting him, and Landon, with bloody hands.

_______________________________________________________________

A/N: Ohh Landon's back, and he's not happy... What's Addison and her Mom gonna do about all of this? What's Zoey's problem? Why is she suddenly jealous of Harry?

The next couple of chapters will be Addie's last few days in Cheshire for the Summer.
