Happily Ever After.. No (SQ to Not A Regular Girl)

Chapter 22

"Hi," Justin sits besides me on the couch and I already know I won't be paying attention to the TV anymore.

This is the second day they are here, at April's, and the place could not be more dead than it is. There are five people in this house but the place is quiet as a mouse. We walk around with scowls in our faces, don't speak a word with anymore and lock ourselves in our rooms. Even Damon and Tom. The house could not be more depressing than it is.

"Hi," I mumble back and lower the volume. He hands me a cup of tea and I thank him. "How is your dad?" He asks and I shrug.

He came the day we called him and he hasn't spoken to anyone but April. He goes to the hospital in the very early morning and comes back in the very late night. He has taken a break from work so he could be with his mom. I wish he would talk to me but that's selfish of me to wish. He should be with his mom instead of being with me.

"I tried to talk to him last night but he just said he was tired and asked me to leave." I reply and sip my hot tea, not noticing how hot it actually is so my tongue gets burnt. I groan and place the cup on the table, while sticking out my tongue. "Shewt!" I cuss and Justin laughs.

"Ha ha fonne!" I glare at him and he stops laughing. "I'm not laughing because you burnt yourself, I'm laughing because I remembered something." He tells me and my brows pucker, confusedly.

"Huh?"

"You used to get sent to the principal's office lots of times, so many that you ended up becoming his friend-"

"Peter!" I blurt out of the blue and suddenly a big smile is plastered on his face. He seems genuinely really happy but I have no idea why. Who is this Peter guy?

"That's his name! The principal's name is Peter!" He exclaims excitedly and I slowly nod. A couple of words and I remembered someone's name, why can't it all just come back in once? It doesn't really excite me much.

After a lot of thinking I have decided I don't want to remember. I want to move on. If something has to be remembered than I'll remember but I won't we forcing myself to it and ask people to tell me about my past. I don't care about my past anymore. There is a reason to why it's the past.

"Oh." his smile now turns into a frown and I grab the cup of tea whilst I get up from the couch. I turn off the TV and head upstairs. "Goodnight Justin and thanks for the tea." I tell him and go upstairs.

I let out a long sigh while I look down at the tea and suddenly I'm almost knocked over and some of the tea spills. I look up and see Damon but I just ignore him and walk away back to my room but then he yanks on my arm causing half of the tea spill on the staircase. "What do you want?" I blankly say. I don't even have the energy to fight with him right now. I only want to be left alone.

"Will you stop ignoring me?" He sighs and let's go of my arm.

"I'm not ignoring you, I just don't want to deal with pointless bullshit right now." He doesn't say anything so I leave.

I get into my old room and grab my phone that is laying on top of my pillow. It shows a missed call from Nathan so immediately I call him back. I hear the rings and then it goes straight to voicemail. Groaning, I throw my phone somewhere on my bed which causes him to jump but I just ignore it.

I have been wanting to talk to Nathan ever since the day I woke up in the hospital. I want to know why he hasn't contacted with me and I just want him, to see him, talk to him and be with him. I want to know everything about how we broke up and all that shit about Caleb. I need to understand why all of that happened and for that I need him to answer my calls.
