That evening my mom went out with the girls. So I was home alone and when im alone I miss Zach the most. I walked down to the beach and sat by myself. I watched couples, like Zach and I walking hand in had, giving piggy back rides, cuddling, splashing each other and kissing. He and I would spend hours upon hours at the beach. Its where we were the day before he left.
“ I love you gabby.” He said as I snuggled up in his arm.
“ I love you too” I said sitting up. I looked out into the ocean, mostly cause I was about to cry.
“whats wrong he said” sitting up.
“you know something ive always hated about the ocean?” I asked
“what?” he said.
“that you cant see the other side.” I said looking at him.
“that’s a stupid reason” he giggled.
“no its not. My dad is on the other side of it somewhere. Living a life without me. and I could never see him. Its kind of like a reality check of how much distance sucks. And now youll be on the other side.” I said starting to cry.
“gabby, itll be okay” he pulled me in for a hug
“I hope” I hugged him back.
I walked back hom after a while.The phone rang and it was my dad I hesitated to answer it. I was in no mood to talk to him. I did anyways.
“hey dad.” I answered.
“Gabriella! Hey sweetie!” he said.
“mom isn’t home right now and I was about to go out so,” I lied to him
“oh, okay honey.” I could tell he was upset “ill talk to you later, tell your mom I love her, and I love you too.”
“yea, love you too, bye” I hung up I don’t know why I was so mean to him. Maybe it’s all of the anger I have for basically abandoning mom and I. Maybe it’s the broken promises. Whatever it is it makes me hate him.
