Painful halloween

Painful Halloween- chapter 11

Zuri's point of view٫ as they are walking home after school on the day of halloween.

Me and Amiliea are at least half way through our walk and when I take a quick glimpse into her eyes٫ I can tell that she's experiencing a lot of emotions.

I am too actually. Ever since that one day that Amiliea held my hand in class٫ and always stared into my eyes as if I was her only focus and happiness٫ I thought differently about her.

My feelings only grow as the days keep passing on. But maybe she's just going through a lot right now and needs a friend.

As we continue walking the urge to hold her hand lingers. I would but her arms are crossed. It's like she's avoiding me. Maybe she doesn't like me anymore٫ did she ever?

We eventually get to her house and we say good bye. It felt like she wanted to leave me٫ and I don't like that.

I try to ignore the negative thoughts about her on my way to my house. When I get to my house٫ I just feel like not doing anything. So for an hour or so٫ I just decided to scroll social media and play games.

************

It's around 6 o'clock so I thought I should start getting ready. I put on my cop costume and tried to look good. I wanted to see Amiliea again and I wanted to look good٫ I've never been like this before.

Amiliea loiters in the back of my mind as I come out my room to see my parents. They're going to stay home since I'm going trick or treating with my friends.

They compliment me quick but they aren't surprised or anything. I put a light jacket on just incase it gets colder and I head out the door.

Alexa doesn't live too far away so I get there on time٫ hoping Amiliea would be there already. But when I arrived٫ she wasn't.

I wait with Alexa and her parents٫ soon after Zoe comes along. Now we're all waiting for Amiliea.

The time ticks by and now it's 6:28P.M. I start to get worried٫ is she coming? did something bad happen?

I realize I'm caring about a person other than my parents a lot. I missed her٫ I worried about her and I thought about her. It feels strange to think about any person like this.

But I brush that off and continue waiting. Alexa is getting impatient though٫ "where is she? she's late and I'm not going to wait here all night missing my Halloween because of her."

The way Alexa talks about Amiliea like that makes me mad at her٫ she's the one that I'm impatient about right now.

"Let's wait another minute or two٫ she does live quite far Alexa." I try to be nice to Alexa as I'm telling her to back off.

"Yeah٫ if she's not here in two minutes we'll leave." Zoe's tone makes me feel like she's comforting Alexa. That's fine٫ but Alexa has been quite rude lately٫ I wonder what's up with her.

I anxiously keep on waiting for Amiliea٫ I don't want her to miss out and I don't want to not see her tonight. Come on Amiliea٫ be here already.

I start to get impatient too but I tolerate it for the next minute.

"Well it's 6:31P.M. and I don't see her٫ so let's just go." Alexa has had enough standing around. "Alright٫ come on kids." Alexa's parents seem calm.

As soon as we started walking I felt so terrible for Amiliea. I want her to be here٫ I want to hold her hand and admire her costume.

I wanted her to compliment me and hold my hand as we get candy together. Suddenly٫ I just fell out of the mood to trick or treat. I just felt tired.

Every door that we knock on makes me feel even more quilty and I miss her even more. Everything was slowly dying inside of my body and Halloween doesn't seem like halloween without Liea.

Most of the night I kept feeling Alexa touching me٫ either holding my hand or arm٫ brushing past me and giving me looks. I felt more uncomfortable and wanted so badly to just be with Amiliea tonight.
