Nolans POV
I was walking when I saw zane, so I immediately ran up to him
"ZANE! Hey wait up!" I shouted as he continued walking.. Ignoring me, why though, why was he ignoring me..? Does he hate me or somthing? I end up catching up to him "hey, what's wrong bro?" I asked worried, I hope he didn't notice!
"I'm moving.." he said as he flinched and looked away..
"..When, when are you leaving?" I said as my heart stopped I was losing the one person who cared about me..
"tonight.." he said as he looked away from me and kept walking.
"how long.." I asked ofc he didn't know what I ment.
"huh..?" he had said confused.
"how long did you know that you were leaving..?" I said as I pulled the hood of my gray hoodie up and looked at the sad grey concrete.
"A week.." zane responded.. My heart dropped.. Thoughts ran through my head endlessly.. Why didn't he tell me, why didn't he care enough, why.. WHY?!
I teared up and ran away.. I heard zane try to say somthing but it was too late.. I had already ran away already. I ran until I couldn't see him anymore.
I was done with this day already. I headed home and grabbed a bottle of my moms bud light, poped the top off and drank for what felt like hours, tears falling from my face, my face was painted a deep red, I just took more cans and locked myself in my room, my parents were either gabling or at a strip club anyways..
I just sat there and drank away.. One can.. Two can.. Three can.. Until I couln't count any longer.. I try to stand up to puke but I just fell back down onto the carpet floor.. I tried to reach for the door handle to puke on the wooden floor unstead but right as I grabbed the door handle my hand slipped off due to being drunk.. I ended up finally getting the door open and after another attempt to get to the bathroom I puked right on the floor, tears rushing down my face like a waterfall from puking so hard.. I passed out..8 hours later
I wake up in my puke.. I remeber what happend and check the time, 7:53 PM, shit my parent will be here any moment now! Despite the headache I have I rush to clean the house top to bottem if not I get 2 extra punishments..
I start cleaning the puke, throwing cans away, dusting the windows, vacuuming the carpet, and before I could finish mopping the floor..
BANG! The door shot open my drunk parents stumble through the door, they look at the house and don't notice how I didn't have time to mop the floor, or so I thought..
"DAMN CHILD YOU MISSED A SPOT ON THE FLOOR" my mother shouted
"YEAH YOU BETTER FINISH RIGHT NOW MISTER, BEFORE YOU GET 10 EXTRA PUNISHMENTS!" my other mother bellowed at me..
"Y-Yes mam..!" I said as I grabbed the mop and got that spot on the floor.Zanes POV
As I told Nolan that I knew I was moving for a week, he ran away I tried to tell him somthing fell from his pocket but he just ran not looking back once.. I grabbed the paper which had a phone number on it.. It said in big bold letters..
HELP!
I assumed it was his number and I could tell that it was ment for somone else.. I desided to take and and went home as a tear formed in my eye. Once I got home I played some music. I was putting in the numbers to call him, but then butterflys formed in my stomach, I was too scared to call him. So I ended up doing some packing for my move. I wish I told him sooner, if I could turn back time I would have told him way sooner, I didn't realize he would be so upset...
An hour later and I had ran out of boxes to use, I check the basement and there was none in them, I grab my allowance and start walking out the store, I see somone with puffy eyes who looks familiar but ignore it, they game a angry look as if I did somthing wrong just by looking at them.
After I got to the store I grabbed a few boxes and payed, once I got home I continued packing till I finished, I only had 5 dollers left from my 100 doller allowance from cleaning the whole house, even though it is never very messy aside from my little sister Lilian, she's only 4 afterall. I start to dial the numbers again, ignoring the butterflies in my stomatch, but they started to grow as my finger got closer the the call button, till..
BRRRR BRRRR BRRRR.
The phone was ringing, I was waiting for an answer, no one picked up, I called again, no answer, agian..
BRRR BRRR, BRRR BRRR.
N: "hello..?"
Z: "N-Nolan"
N: "that's me..? Who are you..?"
Z: "uhm, zane.."
N: "bye"
Z: "WAIT!"
N: "why should I.."
Z: "because.. I'm so sorry, I wanted to tell you sooner I really did, but everytime I tried to I alway got scared or you got taken away from me.."
N: "..."
Z: "look, you don't have to forgive, nor forget, just please, don't hate me forever.."
N: "I-"
BEEP, BEEP!
The call ended, what happend..? Did he hang up on me..? I desided to lay on my bed and think about stuff for a little bit, a tear formed in my eye as I slowly started to cry myself to sleep, till I was woken up by the feeling of somone shaking me.
"Zane, wake up zane"
My mom was shaking me trying to wake me up.
"mhhh, whattt" I asked tiredly having red puffy tear stained eyes.
"one of your friends is here.." she said in her calm heart warming tones and left.
I sat up and waited knowing my mom was going to bring in whoever it was coming to see me at
Creek
The door opens then closes,
I see the same person fron when I was walking to the store... It was Nolan... Oh god, why is he here though..?! I had a shocked face and and the silence was unbearable, I ended up breaking the silence with a simple "h-hi" as I patted the spot next to me "I know you're not fond of me and all but please, sit down, you don't have to sit next to me..!" I said as I looked at the ground hoping for him to just leave because I felt so bad. I felt some weight right next to me and a head fell on my sholder. "I forgive you.." I looked at him as he kept his head where it was. "thank you, I'm still so sorry.." I said as a tear formed in ny eye, I had this fuzzy feeling in my stomach, what is this feeling..? Is this.. Love..?
"can I come with you.." he said suddenly. "wha-" U said but was cut of with him saying again "can I come with you, like move with you, I hate my family, I need somone who loves me. I hate all the negativity my family gives me, I need a break from it all, for as long as you are gone.. If you mive back here or not, I want to come with you, please.." I was so stunned. I rubbed his head and said "sure, my family wont mind having one more person coming with us.." "I hope" I whispered hoping he wouldn't hear me.
