Love Never Finds a Way

Chapter 5

Phyllis' POV

Thomas went home at about 10pm last night. It was a good night. I felt like for those few hours we really got to know each other. I am glad he is my boyfriend. I love him and he loves me.

The next day at school, I had Thomas' class first, however, he wasn't there. Abigale is, but he isn't. The class is doing a test, so I decide to text him; 'Hey babe, where are you today? Miss you x'

There was no reply. The class went for hours, not literally, but it felt like it did. The bell finally rang and I instructed the class to pass their papers to me on their way out. "Abigale, may I please speak to you?"

She rolled her eyes and walked over to me. Once the class left I asked, "Where was Thomas today?"

"Why do you care?" she asked.

"Well... um.... Just because he is your only friend and was wondering if he would be back at school soon or something. I was just thinking about you." I wasn't. That was a lie. I was mainly thinking of myself, but I wasn't going to tell her that.

"He moved to Sydney, Australia. Well, not yet, but he is moving. His dad got transferred again."

"Ok," I said. She walked out of the class room and shut the door behind her.

What?!?! He is moving to the other side of the world and he didn't even bother telling me!!! So much for love always finds a way. This sucks.

My next class comes in and I can't concentrate. I feel as though I am going to be sick. I excuse myself from the classroom and run to the staff bathroom. I throw up for about five minutes before I am finally able to stand up. And when I can, I walk to the front office and ask for a casual teacher to be sent to my class.

I drive home. Feeling sick and weak. My boyfriend is moving all the way to the other side of the world and he hasn't told me.

I take the long way home, hoping it will clear my head but it doesn't.

I finally get to my house to see Thomas sitting on the front door step.

When I got out of my car he said, "I figured you would come home once Abigale blurted it out," he said. I looked at him in the eye. I was heartbroken, and I could tell, so was he.

"Why do you have to move?" I say, trying to keep in the tears and not let him see my weaknesses.

"My dad got transferred again," he says. Unlike me, he isn't trying to hold back the tears. He embraces me in a hug and sobs into my shoulder. I give in and do the same. "I'm sorry," he says.

"Don't be sorry," I say, even though I am extremely mad, "It isn't your fault," which is true. I shouldn't be mad at him, "Plus in a few years we can find each other again and it will be the happiest days of our lives. We won't have to worry about hiding our relationship and we will be happy. Everything will be alright. Love always finds a Way."

We sit on my front porch and watch the sun set over the houses. I have a wonderful view from my house, however I had no one to share it with. Abigale has had dinner here a few times, but it isn't the same with her, obviously as she is my sister and Thomas is my boyfriend. Everything is perfect until we see Abigale.

I feel myself turn to stone. A pale, white, emo stone (With a cool fringe). I feel the light leave me as she sees us curled up to each other on the front porch. Thomas has his eyes shut, but is awake however doesn't realise that Abigale has pulled her car into the drive way right next to us. I nudge Thomas, but he just grabs on tighter to my waist and plants his head in my lap.

"What the fuck are you two doing?" Abigale asks, dropping her keys in shock. This makes Thomas lift his head in a panic.

"Umm... r.....well... you see..." I couldn't quite get my sentence out.
