The Life of a High School Girl

Ch.8) Regrets are memories

I finally reached home on a rainy Monday morning. I arrived at 7:38am and surprisingly everyone was awake...my mum looked like she hadn't slept in days because she had eye bags. She almost fainted when she saw me. She was so happy that I felt so bad for ever even leaving her.

I apologized for 2 hours and told her I would never do such a foolish thing ever again, she wouldn't let go of me. I mean I can understand. Her teenage daughter left the house for a day without infoming anyone, I really am foolish...

On the other hand, my brothers were seriously mad at me and weren't talking to me. At first there was a spark in their eyes when they saw me return but then they assumed that I did a sympathy stunt. God…childish much? But I did apologize a lot and I did buy them souvenirs from Atlantic City. I can't believe that I had ever even decided to do that. I promise to never make such a mistake ever again!

My father didn't find out whatever was going on because he was in Paris. He was a fashion designer and was designing the clothes and had to stay there for 3 weeks or so.

I can't believe I left my hometown due to the fact that I wanted to escape from a girl and all this drama. That almost every other teenage girl goes through. Maybe I need to grow up and face my fears because running away from my problems won't get me anywhere.

Now I need to find out what exactly happened with Abbie Lanter. Who exactly was she trying to murder again? I think the best way to find out would to go to school. I freshened up and told my mom:

"I'm going to school now! Bye!" whilst grabbing my bag and blowing a flying kiss to her

"Oh no you're not! You're staying home with me today." she said as she had a smirk playing at her lips

"But why?" I asked cocking an eyebrow

"Because I've missed my daughter and I've got to spend some quality time with her. Is there a problem? Plus, I'm in the mood of shopping." she said hugging my tightly and grinning

I nodded because there was no point of arguing with her. Mum always was in the mood of going shopping. So I decided to just go with the flow because if I mess anything up now then I might as well throw myself into a ditch. Why? Because what I did to her was the world’s worst thing a child could think of doing to her mother. But I was so desperate to ask someone about Abbie. So I decided to text Izzie and Taylor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I was getting really bored so I decided to text.

Hey guys I'm back in town.

I went out for some personal family reasons.  So, what happened to Abbie? 

Izzie texts 24/7 so I literally had to count to 10 till I get a response and I did get one.

Want to ask how are we or where you went or anything. A caring friend you are. Anyway, I'll fix you later, Silver Hastings. To the point, Abbie was arrested trying to kill Liam! When he returned from his grandmas Abbie said she wanted to talk and so they met up. She told him how she felt about him and he simply said that he didn’t feel the same way. The rest is obvious. Oh and by the way, Taylor and I are coming after school, we're just informing you.

WOW. Was Abbie that psychotic? Gosh, just because a guy rejected her does not mean that she has to go all mental. This just proves my ‘boyfriends in High School are useless’ theory true. But at least we were all safe! I could even go back to school without a worry...right?

So I'm going to go shopping with my mum now!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We bought so many things! The places that I mostly buy my clothes from are: Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, American eagle, Justice, Forever 21, Juicy Couture etc. I couldn't even concentrate on shopping; my mum only took me to 'divert' my mind. But it just didn't seem to work! What was wrong with me? I'm supposed to not be tensed because Abbie is gone and everything is back to normal but there’s a feeling deep down that's telling me It's not over yet.  I just can't stand not to worry. 

As soon as I came back my mom told me to try on the clothes and to do a mini fashion show for her. But I told her I wasn't in the mood. So being an understanding mother she went to the fridge grabbed a cookie dough ice cream, a huge spoon, and the iPod filled with emotional songs and told me to go to my room for the night. She was right, I did need all of those things.  But after a while I got bored and decided to go online. Taylor and Izzie were online, so I made a group chat for us 3. 

Silver: Hey Guys

Taylor: Hey where've you been?

Izzie: Yah!

Silver: Ask my brother when you come over. Wait, weren't you guys supposed to come over?

Taylor: Yeah, we did. But you weren't at home, so we left.

Silver: Oh, sorry guys. My mom took me shopping; she was trying to distract me.

Izzie + Taylor: Your mom is the best. Jealous! 

Silver: Hahaha, thanks you guys. It was sort of annoying cause I wasn't even in the mood.

Silver: I still can't believe the thing about Abbie, shocking!

Taylor: I know! Now she's in rehab or Juvi or something...

Izzie: She deserves it.

Silver: Don't say anything like that, karma always comes back 'round.

Taylor: Yeah, looks like karma met Abbie.

Silver + Izzie: Hahaha true that!

Silver: Guys it's 12! Aren't you guys going school tomorrow?

Izzie + Taylor: Yeah, we are. What about you, mom?

Silver: Sorry, I just wanted to talk to my little kiddies.Haha.

Silver: See you girls tomorrow, I'm off! 

Izzie + Taylor: Byeee Silver, we'll pick you up in the morning!

Silver: Aww, guys! You don't have too! But okay. (:

ALL: Nighttt girliess x

I'm going to bed because I'm sure exhausted! Tomorrow is a school day. 

Knock knock

My mom came in and gave me the world’s best hug, the hug that I felt secure in and never wanted to let go of. I literally felt as if our hearts were touching! I loved my mum to bits and I never want to hurt her ever again.

She was telling me that if I ever had a feeling of running away, I shouldn't go ahead and pursue it. I should go talk to her because maybe she could take me on a mini vacation. I told her I didn't have the guts to tell her that because I was scared she might interfere and get nosy in my business. She told me that she was once a teenager and had gone through the same phase so she understood where I was coming from. She kissed me on my forehead and tucked me in. It's 12:48pm! I'm going to bed now.

Good night!
