Boarding school

Chapter 32

A/n I really want to thank you guys for reading this. There's only this chapter left but stay tuned for news!
(Dani.)
I sat on my bed staring out the window. All of my problems were solved now, my dad came in and had a talk with me.
He apologized for everything that had been said, but he made it very clear that it was not okay for me to pick up and leave. He went on about how this boarding school was a bad influence and since there were only a few weeks of school left, he pulled me out.
I was done, just like that. I don't know weather I learned anything or not from that school or really what I was gonna do.
I guess part of me was relieved, torn, and just confused. I didn't know what I wanted and I knew all I needed was to take the time to think everything over and get in touch with myself.
My phone lit up with a few new texts. The ones from Lola asked how I was and I texted her everything that had happened.
Then, there was the one from Gage. "What's going on?"
I squeezed my eyes shut and sighed. I began to dial Gage's number, knowing this was coming sooner or later.
He answered sounding a little eager "Hello!?" He asked. I bit my lip, "Yeah. I kind of have a lot to say.." I started.
"Yeah, get it out. I'm sorry about everything. I think we just need a fresh start-" he began but I cut him off.
"There is no fresh start." I told him. He listened as I explained everything. How my dad pulled me out of school, how I just needed time to figure things out..
"Oh." Was all he said. "I'm really sorry. We should still try to be friends though because..I'm gonna miss you." I almost cried
"Yeah. I better go, Dani. I'll talk to you later. Bye." He sighed, before I could respond the line went dead.

(2 months later)
"Happy Birthday!" A group of people cheered as my brother and I walked outside onto the cool white sand.
We were having a beach bonfire, it was sort of small but all we needed for our 17th birthday.
Over the past couple of months I had managed to keep in touch with old friends a lot better than expected.
I talked to Gage a lot less than everyone else, I don't blame him though for not wanting to speak to me. It was slightly upsetting but I had better things to do.
I still talked to Logan, Lola, and Chase. Since Chase graduated I drove up to the graduation party and they met Jack. Instantly, they all hit it off like expected and my twin had become part of the group.
Trent and Lee even came to to the graduation party and they loved Jack. Jack is just like them anyway, and easy to get along with.
Now, they all say around the bonfire since they drove out to Florida to meet in a central location. We were all sitting around talking.
I never had seen myself as being one of those people who had lots of friends, or my brother having something in common with me. I guess you just have to find the right people.
As far as satin goes I haven't tried. The idea just makes me undetermined thinking about it all. I kind of wished he had come and that we still talked.
No matter what, there was still a wound there from all that had happened. I hated the way that we ended too.
"Thanks for coming guys." I smiled to them as we all sat down. "No problem, it sucks living so far away from each other." Lee frowned.
Soon the guys all engaged in some conversation about sports and stuff.
"So, how are you and Gage?" Lola asked scooting over to me. I sighed, "We aren't...anything. We barely talk." I explained to them.
"I'm sorry, I hate seeing him make these kinds of decisions ." Lee said shaking her head. I didn't care about it, or maybe I did but I was telling myself it to.
"Yeah, well it happens." I sighed. "I just hate that you're not at school anymore!" Lola said pouting. I smiled, "Yeah..but I'll graduate soon." I shrugged.
"Yeah, same." Lola said seeming sad. I guess I never really thought about high school ending. To me it felt ruined when Adam and I broke up and when I got sent to boarding school. I guess I was gonna miss it.
"How do you deal with growing up?" Lola asked Lee. "You don't, you just get used to it." She said encouragingly.
"Excuse me." I said getting up and walking over to the water. I let it hit my feet and realized I wasn't done thinking about things.
I needed to be done with Gage Johnson, my mom, and everything that held me back.
I still had a lot to get used to.
THE END.
A/n I know! I gave you no warning it was ending but guess what... There's a SEQUEL! Hopefully I'll have it up by this week and I'll post an authors note about it. Thanks to all of the people commenting, reading and supporting. I love you!
