Not all Teens can Love

Chapter 2: Best Friends, No longer

“What are you doing here?” I asked him through my clenched teeth. I didn't bother asking him how he got in here. I always leave a key in the pot full of dirt. Classic, I know.

          “Well, you were upset with me, ditched three of your classes, and wait. Oh yeah, I remember now, you are my best friend!” He kind of shouted at me. My face dropped when he said ‘best friends’. Is that all I was to him?

          “Yeah, really?” I challenged him. The truth was I knew he was right, even if the last part hurt me even more. I climbed out of bed, walked to my window barefooted, and opened it to let in the cool air. I felt someone hug me.

          “I’m sorry for yelling at you.” He told me. I sniffed into his shoulder. He let me cry on him for another ten minutes.

          “Aaron, I-” I stuttered, but just ended up going with, “Never mind.”

          “I want a browniie. Is that what you were going to say?” Aaron said thoughtfully. I stifled a laugh. I tried to cover it with a cough, but miserably failed at my poor attempt. Aaron heard it. He threw me over his shoulder as I laughed really hard and pounded his back playfully. He took me down the stairs. I had a feeling we were going to the kitchen. A few moments later, he set me on the kitchen floor literally meaning I was lying on the floor.

          “Make me brownies please,” he said with a puppy dog face. I knew this moment was not going to last, so I agreed and our ‘Adventure’ as Aaron called it began.

          One of my favorite songs came on, ‘Do You Remember?’ by Jay Sean and I began dancing and singing it to Aaron. I danced around Aaron as he was staring at his phone for a long time. I grabbed the front of Aaron’s black t-shirt, and brought him close to my face, and made him dance with me. All he did was pull away as he sat down on the kitchen aisle chair. I realized something was wrong as I saw his face turn into many different emotions. Then I realized it was my phone he had in his hand. I turned off my itouch radio, and half asked him, and half yelled at him,

          “WHATTT are YOUUUUUU DOING with my phone?!?!?!”

          “Jason and Brian asked you out repeatedly. Why did I not know this?” He asked struck by the information that he just found out.

         “Aaron I…I…” I couldn’t tell him how I felt. Then his phone in my room began to ring. I ran up the stairs, and answered out of breathe,

          “Hello?”

          “Hey babe, did you figure things out with Chloe?” What ‘babe’? She has to have the wrong number.

          “What?” I asked, and the girl’s tone stayed the same way.

          “Hey Chloe! Are you feeling any better? Aaron was worried sick about you, and he told me he would call me by ten, but its 10:30…”

          “Wait. But you called Aaron ‘Babe’?” Now she seemed more alert. She was quiet for what seemed forever, and then she finally spoke.

          “Oh my, I never meant for you to find out that way. By the way, my name is Reina.” I hung up the phone on her face. I ran downstairs to the kitchen, and found Aaron still sitting there. He looked up at me with an innocent face. I held up his phone, and said with a straight face.

          “Aaron, Reina called and she is worried about her BABE!” Then I felt him stiffen, and look away. “GET OUT!”

          “Chlo, look…I…” I was annoyed that he called me ‘Chlo’.

          “Get out now, you could have told me the truth when I asked you about her.” I told him as I began to simmer. As he walked to the front door, I said, “Oh Aaron?”

          “Yes?” He asked as if he was expecting me to say ‘Oh I am so sorry, I should of never did that’.

          “Don’t call me Chlo anymore, and delete me out of your life.” I told him with a smile as I waved goodbye, then I slammed the door on his face. I promised myself I wasn’t going to cry about him anymore, and so I didn’t cry. I went to the kitchen instead, and trashed all the brownies me and…him made together. Hey, I needed to vent somehow. My life was not the greatest right now. My sun was Aaron and now my sun is gone. These clouds need to disappear, and let my sun appear once again, but who will be my sun?

          It was midnight, and I had school tomorrow. I am glad tomorrow is going to be Friday. Usually I am glad because of Aaron and me chilling all weekend, and him sleeping over, but this time I am glad because I won’t have to see his ugly face anymore. I fell asleep instantly to ‘My Life Would Suck Without You’ by Kelly Clarkson.

Question: What do you do when you are super sad?

I like to listen to the music, close my eyes, and do nothing.
