The broken ending

Loneliness

Being lonely is one of the hardest things to feel. It's like sitting alone in the darkness as everyone around you are all balls of light. "What the heck is going on here" Emberlyn says pointing by between me and the extremely hot guy holding my face. He and I both look at her then we lock eyes for what could only have be a few seconds but it felt like hours. "I-I'm so sorry" he stutters out as he takes his hands off my face and takes three large steps back. Stars, that's what we were. Miles away but we seemed so close. "Oookayyyy well then Clem are you ready to go?" Emberlyn says with confusion as she grabs my hand. "Y-yes I am let's go" I say ad I pry my eyes away from his gorgeous green ones. We start walking to the car and I take one glance back at that handsome guy. He's smiling but it doesn't reach his eyes "you know I never got your name" he says "it's Clementine" I yell back "it was nice to meet you Clementine I'm Xavier" he yells back as I get into my car and we leave.

We are sitting in the car in absolute silence. "So do you care to tell me who that guy was" Emberlyn asks me in a mildly angry tone. "I honestly don't know he just rescued me from the dance floor after we got separated that's all" I said staring out to the road ahead. "Ok well he's quite hot and your type" she says in a playful tone as she elbows me. I roll my eyes at her and my phone dings with a text from an unknown number my eyes widen as in shock when I read the text. 'Hey it's Xavier I got your number from Logan. I just wanted to make sure that you're okay? You seemed a little out of it earlier.' He texted me he tracked down my number and texted me just to find out if I was okay. "Hey Em?" I ask her still in shock "yeah? What's wrong?" She asks a little confusing and concern poking through in her voice "that guy texted me" I said in complete disbelief "wait what? The guy from the front porch? Are you serious?" She yells "yep he texted to make sure I was ok. Apparently Logan gave him my number" I said. "Well as you gonna text him back" she says teasingly "yeah I guess" I say as I look back at the text he sent me. What should I say 'I'm okay thanks for checking up on me though' l texted him back.

We pull up to my house I still live with my parents and siblings but in 8 months I'll be moving out finally. In 7 months we graduate from high school and then we're getting out of here. I love my family but sometimes they can be a little much. "I'll see you tomorrow at school Em" I say as I walk to my front door "see you tomorrow" she replies waving at me. I collapse onto my bed completely exhausted from my night my family is asleep all except for my brother who's out with his friends still. I changed into an over sized shirt and some short shorts and put my long black wavy hair into a messy ponytail then wash off my makeup. I look into the mirror starting at my stormy blue eyes and I sigh as I brush my fingers over my freckles. "As if a guy like that could ever fall for someone like me" I mumble to myself. I turn off the bathroom light and then crawl into my bed soon I drift off into the darkness of sleep.
