“Ren Hey” My friend Alyssia ran up to me and hugged me. I hated hugs. I could not stand them, But I hadn’t seen Alyssia in 6 months so I guess it was ok. “How are you? Oh my god it’s been ages” I just smiled and nodded. “Since when did you get so shy?” I just shrugged my shoulders. I wasn’t shy I just had a lot on my mind. She stopped me and looked into my eyes. “I know something is up? What is it?” I shrugged my shoulders and carried on walking. “Fine don’t tell me buuut my friend Emma is having a house party tonight and I would love for you to come” This time I stopped and turned around “No please Liss you know I hate parties and anything to do with them. Please can we not?” She shook her head and folded her arms “Nu-uh because I have a surprise for you” I hated surprises too. “Alyssia? You know I hate surprises and parties what is it?” She did a zipping mouth motion “You will find out at the party now you have to go!” She linked her arm in mine and literally dragged me to her car. In fact a lot of the time she skipped but still.
“Renny you look amazing!” Ok I had been back from collage for about hmm 3 hours and already Alyssia was pissing me the fuck off. “Thanks you too” I just wore one of my old dresses. I hate dresses. I was only going to see Liss’ surprise I really didn’t give a damn about the party. I didn’t even know who the girl was.
“Hey Emma this is my friend Ren! She has just got back from collage” Emma smiled at me “Hey Ren” She was exactly Like Alyssia I could tell. I knew I would hate her. “Hi Emma nice to meet you” I totally lied but what more could I do. I had to be polite. I had to stand with Alyssia and Emma while they spoke about some bitch named Carly (Their words not mine) Mean while I was watching some band set up on stage. They seemed pretty cool. They had tattoos and piercings and Austin Carlile. Wait what? I turned to Alyssia who had noticed I had spotted him. “Surprise!” I turned completely to face her. “You call that a nice surprise? Why didn’t you warn me he was going to be here! Alyssia you seriously know nothing about me do you?!?! If you listened to me I never wanted to see him again” The whole room was watching. Alyssia was trying to say sorry. I pushed her away from me. “You can just fuck off!” I turned to go out the door but who should be there? None other than Austin. “Ren? You’re back!”
I sat outside Emma’s house on a bench. “So have you seen your dad since you got back?” I was sat with Austin. His band played a few songs and then he came to talk to me. I shook my head. “I’ve been living with Liss when I’m back from Collage I haven’t seen him since. You know” Austin nodded. “Is everyone coping well? Are you coping well?” I sighed. I turned so Austin and I were looking at each other “Austin I guess everyone is coping fine well not dad because he lost his wife and now his daughter isn’t talking to anyone because she can’t deal with the people who were heavily involved. That’s why I can’t talk to you Austin. But honestly right now I think I would rather move back in with my dad I mean you know how much I hate Liss” He laughed at the thought of everything I said about her and so did I. Austin sighed “Ren. We were so close. We went through everything together we were practically best friends. We got through our mothers treatment together, Why be like this? You helped me and I helped you. We both still need each other what happened to you Rennie?” I sighed and shook my head. I hated this, how right Austin was. “She grew up and moved on” I decided to set off to my fathers house after collecting my things from Liss.
*Flash back*
“Hello Ren. Come and meet my new friend Mary. We’re having treat meant together” I walked forward, I visited my mother every day at the hospital. She had a rare genetic disease called marfan syndrome. I smiled at this woman and sat down and listened to their conversation. About 15 minutes after I had arrived so did another person. “Hey mom” The boy walked forward and kissed Mary on the cheek. Mary introduced him to my mum. While they were talking the boy turned to me. “Hi I’m Austin” I smiled and shook his hand “I’m Ren”
*Present day*
“Hey dad” He opened the door and almost fell back in surprise. He looked at me for a few moments “Oh my gosh. Ren! It’s you” Next thing I know me and my father we both crying into each others shoulders.
“So why aren’t you stopping with Alyssia now?” My dad had made me and him a cup of tea. “Well basically I didn’t want to talk to Austin anymore because of mum and she took me to a party and she knew he was going to be there” My dad nodded and sipped on his tea. My dad was a wise man and after our talk I realised I did need him more than I thought I did. “Look Ren I know it’s really not my business who you talk to or why you stop talking to people but Austin is a great guy. He helped you through so much. You were both there for each other and I think you both still need each other. In fact he left his contact details. Call him. It’s for the best and you know it” My dad handed me a slip of paper with Austin’s details on.
I lay on my bed that night. I had my phone in my hand. Do I text him or not? Go on Ren you might as well what have you got to loose. You know you didn’t leave him because your mother died and you couldn’t deal. You left him because both your parents died your father couldn’t cope you were going to collage and mainly because you love Austin.
*Austin’s P.O.V.*
My phone buzzed from beside me. I didn’t want to check it because I was in a state but then again I wanted to. So I did. Hey Austin. You were right we need each other and there is a lot I need to tell you. Meet me at the Yohan Park tomorrow at 2pm! R x
R for Ren. I smiled. It’s so weird my final words to her. And she didn’t even get to hear them.
*Flash back*
Me and Ren stood there holding hands as our mothers beds were both packed away. They both died on the same day around about the same time. “I’m so so sorry Austin” I wiped a tear away and turned to face Ren who was also crying “And I’m sorry Ren. I can’t believe it” She shook her head then turned to face me. “No Austin I’m not just sorry about that I can’t cope and deal with everyone I’m so sorry I can’t hurt you I’m sorry” She wiped a tear away and walked off “No Ren wait” She kept walking “I love you”
*Present*
I sat in the park. Nervous and scared. “Austin Hey” I stood up and hugged Ren. “Why did you change your mind about seeing me again?” She sat down next to me. “I forgot how much of a wise man my dad is. He made me realise that we both still need each other no matter how hard it gets. And I’ve come to realise I’ll always be here” I put my head in my hands and looked back up at Ren “Oh but Ren I was always here. Can I just say that when you left the hospital you didn’t listen to my final words. They were I love you. And it’s funny that after two and a half years my feelings for you haven’t left me. They kept me going and made me that little bit stronger. Seriously Ren. I don’t care. As long as you know I love you” She sat with her jaw open. “That’s not fair Austin it’s really not fair because I was coming down here to tell you that I love you.” I smiled and looked up at her. “Ok Ren I’m going to kiss you now”
For Ren hope you like it!
