Hate is a passionate Emotion ( Completed)

Chapter 14

Cari's POV:

It was today. The last day I will see Josh. Possibly never seeing him again. I got out of bed and pushed that thought to the back of my head.

I freshened up and put on a pair of white shorts and my favorite teal t shirt. I slipped on my white sandals.

" Hey mom." I said. I made myself a sandwich of spam, scrambled eggs, and of course bread. I sat down to eat.

" Do you need a ride to Josh's?" my mom asked.

" No. I'll walk." he lived close enough for me to walk. I said goodbye and left.

How? I thought. How can this happen to me? I finally have all I could ever want and it's taken away. We would still keep in contact but it wouldn't be the same.

I walked towards Josh's house. I could see a moving truck in there driveway. The back was open and Josh's dad walked out of the truck.

" Hello Caridad." he said walking over. He gave me a hug and invited me inside. Josh and his mother came out to greet me. I gave his mother a hug and went over to Josh. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and a hug. He was silent as he took me to his room on the second floor.

He reached into his closet. He pulled out a letter. He handed it to me and read.

Dear Caridad,

I know I'm leaving. I wanted to write you a letter for you to keep forever. I first off wanted you to know that I love you. You are my first love. I will NEVER forget you.

I know one day we will see each other again. It may be a year it may be ten. I don't know when but one day we will meet again.

Your first love,

Joshua Hill

Tears where streaming down my face. Josh came over and grabbed me. I looked into his eyes now a dark brown and noticed he too was crying.

" I meant every word." he whispered.

I replied " I know." We stood there in each other's arms for I don't know how long.

We eventually separated and started to pack what was left of Josh's things. We brought boxes down to the moving truck. By 6 we stopped to eat dinner and finished the packing.

When Josh and his family finally got in there van to drive to the airport I was in a fog. I remember saying goodbye and crying.

I ran up to Josh's room and threw myself onto the soft carpet. The room was empty and I could hear my sobs echoing through the spacious room.

I was alone. For the first time in my life I felt truly alone and empty inside. He was gone. He would never return. I would never feel his arms wrapped around me or feel his warm lips on mine.

My tears blurred my vision And my through burned from yelling, but I didn't stop. The sobs were forced out of my throat and my lips were pried open by the heart retching sound. (a.n. I never realize how dramatic this part is but I like it so much I don't want to take it out.)

I ripped at the carpet as the pain overflowed. I stared at the window as the weather mirrored my emotions. I could barely hear the thunder over my cries the lightning illuminated the room and the rain battered against the glass panels.

My body shook as the warmth left it. The warmth he had given me. All the memories blended together, even though they were so few. I punched the ground and cursed everything. I felt my body go numb an tasted my salty tears as I licked my cracked lips. My stomach ached as I let his name slip off my tongue in a forceful cry.

There was a creak downstairs that cut my cries into a withering sniffle. I grabbed my pocket knife, which I constantly carried, and crouched into a cat-like stance. I held the blade in front of me as the intruder crept up the stairway.

I'm going delusional I told myself. No one is there, no one would come to this abandoned house, and no one would come into this empty room of faded memories but me.

" Caridad?" the voice sounded boyish and sad as the shadowey figure crept towards me. I looked up from my knees and the lightning flashed and thunder roared violently in the room.

" Brice?" I said trying not to sound like I was crying. I failed miserably as my voice cracked in to.

" Why are you up here?" He asked sitting next to me.

" I don't know. I wanted to be alone. Why are you up here?" I turned my body towards him but hung my head and let my blond hair fall in my face.

" I'm here to pick up a box of my things that Josh never returned. Guess he left already. Didn't have time to come earlier." he got up and walked two feet and picked up a box I never realized was there.

" Cari, it's all gonna be okay. It's not like he's gone forever. He loves you and that'll never change. Here's a plus, you got Iris, Jess, Layla, Chuck, Nathan's back, and you have me. We'll help you through this. We all care about you." He lifted up my chin and wiped a tear off cheek with his thumb. " I care about you. Come on Cari, the storm is getting pretty bad. My mom can take you home." he stood up and helped me to my feet. Everything ached as I stood up from my corner.

" Thanks Brice. For everything."

A/N

I realize this chapter was a bit on the dramatic side. My BFF Brokenandreal asked to write it. She specializes in that kind of writing. But I hoped you like the chapter anyway. I'll be starting the new chapter soon.
