Not all Teens can Love

Chapter 3: He believed me

I woke up at five am unable to sleep anymore. I could barely keep my eyes closed. Hmmm…I have two hours to do whatever I feel like. I put on a sweater, went downstairs, and out the kitchen door. I went to the lake behind my house, and I sat on the grass. The grass was misty and kind of cold like it is suppose to be in the early morning, but I did not mind. I needed to clear my head before I went to school.

          As I was thinking about Aaron, and what I am going to do with him, I got a call from my mom.

          “Hello?” I answered.

          “Hi Sweetie,” my mom said all chirpy. Her chirpiness can get annoying at times.

          “What’s up?” I asked carelessly and boringly.

          “Chloe darling why are you up?” My mom asked.

          “I slept at 8, and cannot sleep anymore.” I lied to my mom. As if she would care why I was still up, she never cares. She acts like she does. It is infuriating.

          “Chloe, I will talk to you later. Your father needs me. Love you darling.” I wanted to punch my mom. Not only did my father need her, I needed her indefinitely.

          “Yeah, bye.” I hung up the phone. I put my phone in my sweater pocket. I lay on the damp grass, as I thought about Aaron. It seems like he is the only one I want and need. All those times we played house, watched scary movies together, walked around the neighborhood, downtown, Chicago, and just everything we did together. I would do almost anything just to be with him. The sight of him just made me glow. I always thought he felt the same exact way about me, but I guess I was wrong. When he holds me, all my fears go away and I feel safe. I wish he knew all the things he did to me, but I deleted him out of my life so I guess I need to move on, but that will be hard. Maybe I could give Jason or Brian a chance. I took my phone out, and it was seven am. I decided it was time to get ready for school. As I walked back to the house, I texted Jason,

can you take me to school today please?

          He texted me within seconds with a ‘sure’. I took a short, cold shower. I walked to my room with a towel wrapped around me. I chose to wear a long sleeve black t-shirt with a gray tank top underneath. And ripped light blue jeans.

          At 7:45am, I heard a honk. Why couldn’t he be more like Aaron and actually walk up to the door? Oh wait, because no one is similar to Aaron. Aaron is just one of a kind. As I slipped on my black flats, I took out my phone, and began to dial Aaron’s number. I almost hit send, but instead I hit end. I put the phone in my back pocket, grabbed my backpack, water bottle, and ran out the door.

          I opened the door, and climbed into the car. As we were driving to school, we got stuck in traffic even though the school is like 2 minutes away.

          “Chlo, are you okay?” Jason asked me.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Don’t call me Chlo anymore, and delete me out of your life.”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

          Those words not only hurt Aaron, they hurt me too. I was betrayed, and ‘best friends’ never keep secrets from each other even if they do hurt.

          “Chloe, Chloe,” I heard someone say my name and shake my shoulder slightly. It was only Jason. I was hoping it was Aaron waking me up from a nightmare.

          “Oh sorry, What’s up?” I smiled at Jason innocently. He looked like as if he wanted to strangle me. Well sorry Jason, you, Brian, and Reina ruined my life, I thought.

          “What? How did we ruin your life? Whatever Chloe, I thought you were a cool girl that I could chill with, but I guess not.” Jason slammed his door shut as he walked towards the school quickly. I cannot believe I said that out loud. I really need to quit doing that to people. I have been hurting people and putting them down instead of helping them. Ah what the hell, I jumped out of Aaron’s car…I mean Jason’s car, and sprinted after him. I got to him as he entered the school.

          “Look Jason, I am sorry. I am just a little upset. It has been a crazy, hectic week.” I told him truthfully. Not one word in that sentence has been a lie. He sighed, ran his hand through his thick brown hair, and said,

          “Alright.” And he just walked away. Yup! Just like that. Well, I didn’t know what to do now. I walked to my locker, hoping to see Aaron, but it was Jessica at his locker instead.

          “Hey Jessica,” I said as I opened my locker. “Where’s Aaron?”

          “Um…he switched lockers with me.” She said innocently. I guess Aaron never explained to anyone.

          “Oh,” was all I said. I was really disappointed and upset. Tears filled my eyes, but I promised myself I would not cry over him. I shut my locker, and stood there for a few minutes. I wasn’t sure what I was doing standing there. Then I realized exactly what I was doing, I wasn’t waiting for Aaron to arrive so he can walk me to class, I was waiting for this nightmare to be over. I slammed my fist against my locker. I heard a gasp. I looked up to see Jessica backing up. I sighed, and apologized,

          “I am sorry Jess. I am just a little upset.” Jessica nodded still scared and afraid to speak. I sighed once again, and got to my gym class. Aaron had that gym class with me. Aaron has two gyms classes. One right now which is first period, and one after my study hall…OMG! Right when I walked in, I saw Raina kiss Aaron on the lips. Out of all the places, she kissed him on the lips. My gym teacher blew his whistle. We all lined up in alphabetical order, so the teacher can take attendance and make sure no one is ditching or absent. Apparently best class to ditch is gym. My teacher began to speak,

          “Today we will be learning to partner dance. I will put you guys in pairs. Jessica with Mike, Allie with Dan, Michelle with Zack,” He continued down the list, “And lastly Chloe with Aaron.”

          I literally choked on my water. I began coughing severely while my eyes watered. Everyone came running to me, well everyone, except for Raina and Aaron. I held my hands up and assured them through chokes,

          “Every…one… I… am… fine.” Everyone began to breathe again. My teacher and the students walked away. I guess that meant it was time to partner up. We did not have to dress in proper gym clothes for this one. That is a good thing because I most definitely misplaced mine. Misplaced meaning lost it, hehe. I took a deep breathe as I saw Aaron walk up to stand in front of me. He paid close attention to the teacher even though he knew how to partner dance. We have done this already plenty of times at my house; I guess Aaron was just doing what I asked him to do which was-delete me out of your life. FML.

Question: If your best friend decided to tell you, "delete me out of your life"...Would you listen to them?

I wouldn't because I would be heart broken without her.
