Meet Me In The Meadow

Chapter Fourteen

*flashback*

"Honey?"My mom calls from the living room. I sigh,"What?" There is a pause, she is probably getting Ella from her room. I walk out, and Ella and my mom are already sitting on the couch. weird.

Then I look across from them. My dad. I internally roll my eyes. After a few minutes of awkwardly looking at each other, my dad explains that him and my mom think Ella and I should move back to Spokane with him.

They asked us, even though we knew we had no real decision.

So then I had to telly fiends, and Grayson. Grayson and I had then been dating for three months. So it was March.

Then came the day we had to leave. The day where I was most pissed.

*flashback over*

Then there is now. It is February of my Senior year. I have been in Spokane for a little over a year without once going back to New Jersey.

At first, Grayson, Abbie, Sara, Ethan and I texted on a regular basis. Then it started becoming less regular. And now we barely talk at all.

I pack my stuff in my bag, and head for the front door. "Why are you leaving, Lizzy?" I am silent. Ella looks straight at me,"Really? Why are you going back to mom?" I sigh,"This isn't the place for me." Ella gives me a big hug, and I hug her back. Then Ella whispers,"I'm gonna miss you." I whisper it back, and say a quick goodbye to my dad.

I then head outside, where Peyton is waiting for me. "Got everything?" I nod,"Thanks again." We talk about nothing, and get to the airport in twenty-ish minutes. "Thanks Peyton." I give him a hug, then he gets my stuff. "I'm just glad I'm the last to say bye to you." I smile, and give him a hug. "I'm going to miss you."

Then he kisses me right there. I tense up, and pull away. I just stare at him. "So-sorry. I just had to." Then he gets in his car and drives away.

Me: I'm here

Grayson: look up

I look up, and there's Grayson. I run up to him, and give him a big hug. "I missed your hugs Liz." I take a deep breath,"I missed your too."

March and April go by uneventful. Then comes May.

I walk into school, almost done with Senior year. Then I see it. Grayson. With another girl. Making out. I'm so pissed.

I don't talk to him for the rest of the day, then after school he approaches me. "What's wrong, babe?" I snap around,"So you call everyone here babe? And make out with everyone? What the fuck is wrong with you?" When he doesn't say anything, I walk away. Then he grabs my arm. "Leave me alone." Then under my breath,"Douche." Just loud enough that he will hear.

"I should have listened to everyone back in middle school. And all the making out with all the other girls. And you, Abbie." I sit with Abbie on my bed. "It's okay." I shake my head,"It's not."

~

Sara, Abbie, and I sit in Sara's basement. "I'm going to Gonzaga University." Abbie and Sara look at each other. "What?" I ask. They jump up,"We are too!" My eyes widen,"Really?!" They nod. Thank god!

~

Abbie, Sara, and I are about to fly out to Spokane, when I see the twins. Grayson and I make eye contact then I break it. He looked sad, but that's his fault for fucking up.

Finally, we land in Spokane. A new life awaits.

A life without Grayson.

A life where I can forget about the past.

And all with my two best friends.
