Don't Forget About Me

Chapter 14

The days started to blend together after Os brought me home that night. I told Sara a PG version of the story because I still didn't want to talk about it. It was the first week of June and school is done after tomorrow and I kind of can't wait because Sara is convinced that if I go with her to Florida that it will help me get over Os. I agreed, which made her even happier. Her and Octavious are seeing each other on a casual basis, which is what she told me but I know that's only because she doesn't want me to think about Os. 

It's definitely a hard thing to do because I didn't lie when I saw him last, I do miss him. After walking out of my last class for the day I start to make my way to the bus stop like I do everyday. When I get there I just stand by the sign and pull my phone out to check and make sure that the flight is still on track for tomorrow night to Florida. As I am scrolling through all the rules for going on a plane I feel that tingling on the back of my neck. I look up and take a look around and see nothing. Not like before when I would see the man dressed in black. This is like someone is watching me without me seeing them which makes it that much more nerve racking. The bus pulls up and I quickly get on, scan my pass and sit down. 

“Seems you're a little spoked Kelsey” Sandy the driver said. “I'm fine, I think it's just nerves from getting on a plane tomorrow.” She smiled up in the mirror “Oh you'll be fine!” I smile up at her and then we are on our way. As we approach the stop near my apartment I look out the window and see a silver Audi sitting across from the bus stop. I hurry and walk off the bus, more like a speed walk but by the time I get off the car is gone. I look all around and nothing. I swear I'm losing it slowly. I walk into my apartment and Sara already has her five bags packed and by the door. The music is super loud coming from her room. I go to walk over to see what she is doing there, probably having her own dance party. I go to turn the knob and it opens. 

“I see you are already packed and ready to go?” As soon as I noticed why she had the music on I realized I should have knocked. “Shit Kelsey, your home!” Sara is scrambling to get the blanket up over her as Octavious is just sitting there smiling. “Good to see you Kelsey, We have missed you at the club!” I send a small smile to Octavious but also feel a little bad that I just barged in. 

“I'm so sorry Sara definitely should have knocked. I'm going to go and let you guys have some time.” Sara seemed so embarrassed which was odd for her because I never see that. I walked out and went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water and decided I was going to go to the roof to get some air. I have been doing this a lot lately because being up here is just so freeing. As I open the door to walk out I start to get those tingling feelings again. I look around and still see nothing. I shake it off and walk over to the ledge and look over. Staring out over the town I look into the nothingness hoping that one day it will give me the answers that I need.

“You can see for miles up here.” At the sound of his voice I freak and turn quickly. “What are you doing up here or here in general, I told you to stay away from me.” I would be lying if I said I wasn't happy to see him. “I was just checking on you to make sure that you are doing ok.” He's lying. I can tell by the way that he is looking at me, he's studying me. “Say what you really want to say, Os and leave.” God he looks hot with his tight black tee and jeans. I need psychological help. He signed and shrugged. “I know that you're planning on going to Florida with Sara.” What the actual fuck. 

“And how the hell would you know that?” Now I'm pissed. “Octavious told me.” Duh of course Sara told him and he told Os. I take a deep breath and wait for him to finish whatever this is about. “I just wanted to say be careful and don't do anything that you would regret.” I chuckled “Regret, don't do anything that I would regret. You don't need to worry about me. I am a big girl and will make my own choices.” He looked at me like there was more he wanted to say but couldn't. 

“He started to turn towards the door and then turned slightly. “It was good seeing you Kelsey.” He looked at me with those blue eyes of his. “Goodbye Os.” He smiled and left. I stood there trying to wrap my mind around seeing him for the first time in a month. I need this vacation even more now. After being up there for about an hour I am hoping that Sara and the big guy are done. I walked into the apartment and it was quiet. I walked over to the kitchen and Sara came out of her room. 

“I am so sorry about that. We must have lost track of time.” I laughed a little. “Next time be sure to put a sock on the door.” We both started laughing this time. “How much more do you have to pack Kelsey?” I shrugged “Not much but I unfortunately wont have as much as you.” She turned and looked at her bags. “What? It's all a necessity!” I raised my eyebrows and just looked at her. 

“You realize we will be there a week and we are staying at your parents' place so I'm pretty sure you have things there.” She looked at me with wide eyes as if she just remembered something. “I forgot to tell you, My mom called me today and said that they are going out of town for half the trip so we will have the house to ourselves! Isn't that exciting!” I can see the wheels turning in her head already. This trip is going to be one to remember that's for sure. I hope that I can get my mind off of Os and relax a bit. “That is exciting Sara, I can't wait!” But why am I secretly hoping Os follows us to Florida?
