I See You

Chapter 1

Seven a.m. I am so drained. I have to force myself out of bed. I brush my teeth and head back into my room to get dressed. I end up deciding on something that looks great, but is comfortable as well. I put on my white sweatshirt, medium blue blue jeans, and my dark brown combat boots. My hair is naturally wavy, so I take a piece of hair from each side and braid them until they reach the back to tie them together. I then put on a bit of foundation and mascara. I use the foundation to cover up the dark eye circles from under my eyes and my tear stained cheeks. Satisfied with my appearance, I head downstairs.

When I reach the bottom, I am greeted with the wonderful smell of coffee. Yummmmm. That's what I need right now.

"Good morning sweetie! Glad to see you're not a bear in hibernation anymore! So I take it your feeling better?" My father asks.

"Yeah." Is all I say, and I force a smile. I haven't told him of my break up with Aaden. He would be extremely upset and angry and I would rather him not go to jail over murder of my ex. So instead if telling him the truth, I may have told a little white lie about not feeling well. My endless tears helped out with this the most, although for a completely different reason.

"Well, I decided to make ourselves a cup of coffee this morning." He states, sliding over the mug. Mhmmm its so warm. I carefully take a sip, trying not to burn my taste buds. "I might not be home in time this evening, I will have some errands to run and I'm not sure how long they'll take. So, feel free to order some pizza." He says. I nod in response.

Finishing off my cup of coffee, I rinse it out and put it in the sink. I tell my father a quick goodbye and grab a green coat with a fur hood off the hanging rack. I walk outside, only to be greeted by the freezing snow. Man I love snow. That's one of the perks of living in Indiana. I start to make my way to my Jeep Wrangler, only to be stopped by my father's voice.

"Bailee, I think you forgot something!" He yells. I turn around and smile, walking over to retrieve my purse. I thank him and get into my jeep. I turn the radio on, only to regret it.

They don't know about the things we do, they don't know about all the I love you's. But I bet you if they only knew, they would just be jealous of us.

I quickly turned it off. I try to hold back my tears, but one escapes. Only to be followed by another, then another. I thought I would at least be able to make it through half the day without thinking about Aaden, but I was wrong. Of course our song had to be on. It was on my CD after all. I'm not much of a fan of one direction, but when Aaden and I had been together, we discovered this song on the radio one day, a few months after it had came out. We absolutely loved it, although it wasn't really our type of music. He would tell me how much I meant to him and how this song was how he had felt about us.

I need to stop thinking about him and what we used to be. This is supposed to be the first day back from winter break, and I shouldn't be late. I would skip, but then I'd show how weak I was. I need to be strong. Or try that is.
I drive to school in silence and make it with about ten minutes to spair. I climb out the car and head towards the gates of hell. I make my way towards my locker, only to remember that I need to pick up my new schedule. I turn around and go to the front office.

When I enter the office, the lady is on the phone. Once we make eye contact, she holds a finger telling me to wait. I nod, and look around. I notice a guy that I've never seen before. He must be new.
