The Unexpected. (Evan Peters)

chapter one - memories

As I lay on my bed sobbing before work my boyfriend walks in and puts me in his arms. "Shh princess it's gonna be okay, I'm here" he whispers as I pull my head to his chest. "I just can't be strong anymore Alex." I say looking up at him. "Yes you can. You're my strong, amazing, beautiful princess, you can pull through this and recover babe. I promise" he kisses my head. I just force a smile and nod. I pull myself together and get up to get ready for work. On my way into the bathroom I see the picture I refuse to take down and start to sob quietly so Alex doesn't hear me. When I look at the picture I see a happy girl who loves the world and isn't cold hearted and broken. "This is all her stupid F***ing fault" I yell. Alex walks up behind me pulling me into his arms. "Lets talk about it ok? You never do, I wanna know.... Sam.... Babe.... You've changed, I can see it in your eyes this isn't who you use to be. Now I know I haven't known you for the longest time, and I met you after this incident with her but I think it's something I should know about." I nod "okay fine" I take a deep breath. "Back in second grade... August 26th 2008, at recess I was on the swings with one of my friends" I pause and sigh "she walked up to me, stuck her hand out and said "Hi my names Kaitlin, wanna be my friend?" She had a booger coming out of her nose too." I pause and chuckle. "Me being the idiot I am... I said yes, so everyday at recess we hung out and did dumb things. Then in 6th grade we hung out for the first time. *I start to tear up* it was November 16th 2011. Since that day we hung out religiously." I pause and sigh again. "The beginning of freshman year around my birthday, she started dating this senior, who was already 18... I never really liked him, she started ditching me for him and she started changing because of him. May I remind you I did everything for her. And when she started dating him it was around the time her dad went to jail... She missed a lot of school and started getting bad but she wouldn't let me be there for her because she had James. Apparently that's all she needed. She Wound up in la mental asylum for attempting suicide, and depression and cutting because of her dad being on jail. Remind you it was on the news and it doesn't take anything but one kid.... So when she finally came back to school people were s**t talking her dad or so she said... She's a drama queen so.... Anyway, she started blaming me for the talk about her dad around school. When it was probably her, she told anyone she thought cared, those people probably told others... So one day she just like cut me off. I don't remember exactly what happened, like that made me realize I got cut off, and now she's all about her 19 year old boyfriend. She acts like she missed me at times but I feel like she doesn't. I know things will never be the same but Alex I really miss her, she wast everything, and now were just nothing. That bothers me. It sucks A**. She left me alone and I went dark and depressed. And that's the story behind the picture and this dark "emo" girl you fell in love with. Now can you drop me off at work? Ill be late if I try to drive myself. We can continue this talk later, but right now I need to clean up my face and look presentable.
