Chapter 33|Last Summer
I didn't mean for this to happen. In a matter of time I've lost so many people, Nathan who I thought I could trust and the only one k thought I could relate to. Then, Liam who I thought cared for me he wants nothing to do with me. Then...my best friend who I stabbed in the back.
I didn't mean for it to get this far. I just can't help but feel this anger towards her for everything she's out me through. I never asked for this life, I wanted to be normal and I've tried so hard to be that.
I look around my room, the shelf's filled with cheer ribbons and trophies. On the pale pink walls are pictures from the best moments of my life, a moment of happiness snapped in one photo.
I have a postcard from all of the places my parents and I have traveled. Spain, Rome, Greece, and France. I missed those weeks of sun and smiles and moments I was someone else.
Someone who was free.
My white wooden desk, it's chair packed with clothes. My Mac book that my dad gifted me one birthday, open to colleges. I can't decide where I want to go yet. Perhaps a community college, or maybe I'll move to America where I can get the full cheer dream.
I lay back on my floral print bed, spreading my body out on the double bed. I stare up at my ceiling, a frown on my lips. I used to love myself, now I'll do anything to change myself.
I slip myself off my bed and walk towards my mirror. I pull down my shirt staring at the scar that runs deep down my face, ending just past my collarbone. I know I've said I don't blame her, but I do.
When those people took me, all they did is torture me while asking questions about her and her family. Every time I denied them of any answer, even when I knew none one them.
They hurt me.
But this scar, this one stayed when the others faded away. I've tried everything to get rid of it, covering it with foundation, using cream to rid of it. Nothing worked.
The word part? When people ask how it happens I can't even tell them the truth. I have to lie and make something up.
Oh, car accident.
This? I fell of a swing when I was little.
My scar? Well, a dog bite.
It's all fucking lies.
My phone rang from my bed and I pull away from the mirror seeing Jakes name appear. I hesitated to answer it but did anyway.
"Hello?"
"Have you spoken to Nova lately? She's not answering her phone and when I went by her place, she wasn't in."
Nova.
"Uh, no. She's probably with Clementine." I mutter, feeling weird talking to him.
"Monet? Why would she be with her? Kelly, what's going on?" So many questions.
"She's working with her. Getting help about tracking down Grayson." Who by the way Jake, is alive. But of course I don't say that.
"What? She said she was done with all that. What's going on with her?" He sighs.
Bet she didn't tell you she's pregnant either. I think to myself.
"That's all I know. We had a falling out so, I'm no help." I shrug my shimmers, even though he can't see me. The situation exhausting.
"A fall out. What's up? You okay?" He seems to be the only person asking me that lately.
"I'm fine. You shouldn't be calling me." I sit myself down onto my bed, crossing my legs.
"It wasn't about last summer was it?" He says quietly.
"No! I told you, we don't ever mention that ever again." I speak through the phone, my hand clenching against the covers.
"Okay, I haven't said anything. But-
"Jake, Nova can never know what happened that summer. She would kill us both." My heart beats just from the thought of her ever finding out.
"Kelly, what we did...we were selfish. My mother was in the hospital and Nova was-she was a mess and we..." he trials off.
"We did nothing. Okay, you were just upset and worried about your mum. It was nothing."
"Fine. It was nothing." He hangs up before I can get another word out and I sigh.
If Nova knew what happened, I'm sure she would kill me. Jake would be alive but cut off from her and maybe even his family.
But if I told anyone what happens after that summer. My parents, Nova, Jake. It would end my entire life, it already makes my head spin every night. The whole experience of finding out and having no one to talk to about it. It was clear I had no choice.
Maybe this is why I blame her. Why I hold so much anger towards her.
Because if the truth ever came out, I would loose everything.
It my default.
The truth coming out is my biggest fear. I'm not ready to face it. Not yet. Not ever.
