The Connection

2

Walking into this house; it just doesn't feel like a home. A home is where it's warm full of love and laughter. Here there is nothing but sadness and pain. I hate being here alone, my mom does nothing but work.

I don't blame her.

I make my way to the kitchen, deciding on leftovers from last night. After heating it up I make my way to the sofa; I turn on the tv flicking straight to Netflix.

I've been thinking about opening up more. Maybe making friends I mean it is my senior year. I have a hard time trusting people I guess. When there's no one in your life, you can't be disappointed.

Or at least that what I felt.

I'm brought out of my thought by the doorbell. Making a confused face I make my way to the door. Opening it my heart drops to my ass. Why is she here?

"H-hi uh-um" "spit it out Emma I don't have all day" I can see her flinch at my raised annoyed voice. Makes me feel bad for a slight second. She just looks up at me; with a look I don't comprehend.

I switch from feet to feet waiting. "I'm sorry!" She blurts out. I can't help but laugh I know asshole move. Sorry? She's sorry? I look into her glistening eyes. I said I'd be mean I wanted her to feel what I felt.

I'm not sure I can do that.

"Sorry Em? Really that's the best you can fucking do? You broke my fucking heart and all you can say is I'm sorry?!" I don't realize the tears on my face till I feel her wipe it away.

I step away from her touch; her lip pokes out into a pout. I could just kiss it away; but I won't.

"Emma you le-left me wh-when I needed you the most! I lost yo-you and my da-daddy in less then 24 fucking hours. And you say I'm sorry? Well me to. Bye Emma"

I slam the door in her face.

I can't say my heart doesn't hurt, it does I still love Emma. I can't let her back in that easy. I've always made it easy for her. She took my love for granted.

The next morning it's the same routine. This time though walking into school; I'm looking at everyone. I'm actually taking in my surroundings after almost 4 years. There are some really hot girls like really hot.

No way I've been missing out on all this.

I can't help the smirk that pulls to my face. Maybe if I date other people I will get over Emma. I don't know if it will work but it's worth a try. I get to my locker exchanging my books. I close my locker turning around; I feel something soft hit my chest.

Looking down I see it's a girl. Long beautiful blonde locks, piercing green eyes. She's beautiful "Shit I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention." I say as I reach to help her up.

Her hands are so soft.

"No no it's my fault shit you're like a brick wall." I bust out laughing, I can't remember the last time I heard it. It shocks myself and I feel a few stares. One being hers. "I'm sorry I work out a lot plus my dad wa-"

I stop mid-sentence, I don't know why I'm telling her so much; I literally just met her. It's as if she can read me and changes subjects. "I'm Amanda you can call me Mandy I just moved here this is my first day here."

She says all in one breathe.

"Hi manda I'm Serenity you can call me whatever. I can show you around. Let me see your schedule."

I look and see we have all the same classes. "We'll just you luck we share all our classes." I say with a smirk. "Chill Romero I'm straight as a dick" she says grabbing her schedule back.
