When it's all over

Sorry

I set in biology thinking about Joslin. It had been two days since we had talked I mean she said she was sick but she said she had the stomach bug. And she had been out since Tuesday.

Me and Joslin used to be really close friends but now we were more like acquaintances, but I still said she was my friend because without her, I had no friends.

It's not that people don't like me they just don't particularly want me around I guess.

"Ms. Tanner would you like to join us in the lesson or are you busy daydreaming?" Mr smith asked knowing the answer.

"I'm sorry Mr Smith, I'll listen." I wasn't going to listen. This time when I spaced out I just needed to make sure and zone out looking at the board.

I was walking to my locker when I saw Jake. He must have a locker on the same walk as me because that's where I ran into him yesterday.

I walked past him and to my locker. School was over so I needed to put my biology book up. I turned to walk to leave when I heard two girls talking to each other about Joslin. Their names were Heather and Chloe, they gossiped about people so much it was unreal.

"Yeah I know and did you hear what she said about that weird girl Leanna?" Heather was laughing but I just wanted to know what they were saying about me.

"No what did she say?" Chloe said with a dumb look on her face.

"Joslin said she's only friends with that freak because she feels like it's her community service." They were both laughing while I was holding back tears.

I started to walk to the bathroom. I know I didn't even like Joslin that much anymore but it's because she got to be friends with girls who didn't like me.

But it's hard for me to just drop her because I've grown up with her. She's just always been there. But now I was done, she treats me like crap and then talks to all of those other girls behind my back. It's not like I'm a charity case who needs her. So I texted her.

Jos I love you and I always will but I'm done so just leave me alone. Completely.

And that's when I started crying. I just sat in the bathroom crying, for what felt like hours but when I looked at my phone, it had only been about thirty minutes.

I got up and washed my face off and then got my stuff. Some people were still at school but most had left. I walked out of the bathroom and towards the main doors.

I got out in the parking lot and I couldn't find my keys. I must have left them in the bathroom. I rolled my eyes and sighed.

I went back inside and found them on the counter in the bathroom. As I turned the corner to the main hall I ran into someone.

I looked up and saw Jake. Great.

"We have got to stop meeting like this Leanna." He was smirking.

"Yeah I guess you right." I said it so quietly it was almost inaudible.

Then the look of realization hit him in the face. "Wait what's wrong? Have you been crying?"

"No. I'm fine." It was obvious I was lying.

"No you're not Leanna. I know you're not." He lifted my chin up so my eyes met his.

I turned my head away, "You don't know anything about me Jake. So don't ask questions when you don't actually care." I said it very calmly. I wasn't angry just stating.

He looked up confused. And then a tear rolled down my face, I walked past him and left.

As I walked down the hall to the doors I heard my names almost whispered. But I didn't turn around, I had just been hurt by one person and I wasn't going to think for one second that Jake wanted to be friends.

I sat on in the drivers seat of my car. It was ten pm and I hadn't went home after school. I was sitting on some dead end back road I had never been on before. My phone was dead, I had sad music playing, and it was pitch black outside.

I went to start my car because it was late and I needed to start on my way home, but my car wouldn't start. I was in the middle of no where with no phone and a dead car battery.

That's when a truck passed by. I knew that truck, I had saw one time, yesterday. Jake got out of the truck and ran over and knocked on my passenger side window. I rolled it down and he started talking before he realized who it was.

"Are you ok? I know you hazard lights weren't on but it's late and...." His words trailed off.

"Yeah I could use some help. My car battery is dead."

"Ok I have some jumper cables I'll get it started for you."

He did get it started and then he put the stuff back in his truck and walked back over to my car.

"Why were you on this road anyways Jake?"

"I could ask you the same question. No I'm I was just turning around." He said smiling.

"I just needed somewhere to be by myself." I was embarrassed and he was confused.

"We're you ok today you looked like you crying and you just walked off?" He was at my drivers side window and our faces were so close.

"Yeah I just heard something about a friend. I'm sorry I just walked off."

"It's ok. I'm sorry I asked." That stupid smirk was in his face again. I looked down and laughed under my breath.

He lifted my chin up so our eyes met. "No it's ok." I said nervously.

And then...
