The Middle Of No Where (Luke Wale Fanfic)

Chapter 18: The Play

     Everything has been sucking lately. Ever since Jeydon ditched me for the prom I've been upset at him and now my parents are making me go with Gavin. Sabrina has been sick at the hospital and has to have surgery on her kidneys which is horrible but I really hope she is well enough to perform for the play. I don't want to be the understudy I only said I would so I can put something on my college apps later on. I get ready to visit Sabrina before her surgery.  When I get to the hospital I smile and give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. 

      "Hey, how are you doing Sab?"

       She smiles. "I could be doing better. I don't think I could do the play on Friday Haz I'm sorry and I heard from the play director that the other main role, Brandon isn't able to perfect either so it's going to be you and..."

        I cut her off, "GAVIN! No not him! Oh my god I'm sorry I yelled I just don't want to have to kiss him again in the play." I lay back in the chair besides her bed and pout.

        She holds my hand and says, "I know it's okay. Pretend it's Jeydon and try and not think about it too much. Maybe ask if they could turn the lights off before you kiss after leaning it or something."

         I take that into consideration and the rest of the visit turns out okay.

         Later on when I get home I lay in bed thinking about how awful Friday will be. I don't want to have to kiss Gavin again. I don't even want to picture it even or think about it. I practice my lines before bed but before I sleep my phone rings. I don't answer it cause it's Jeydon.

         "Hey Hazel it's Jey. I'm sorry if you are mad at me still from not being able to make it to Prom. I hope we are okay and you are okay. Please get in touch with me. I have been missing you like crazy since you stopped talking to me. I love you."

         I listen to the message then cry myself to sleep. The next morning I wake up half asleep and feel something in bed besides me.

          I jolt out of bed. "Jeydon what are you doing here?"

         He's laying besides me and rubs his eyes. I guess he fell asleep here. "You weren't answering my calls and I was worried about you. I climbed in through the window. Haz, have you been crying?"

          I look in the mirror and see faded mascara that fell down my face. "I don't know maybe."

         "Babe come here." I walk over to the bed and sit down. He holds me and I just sit there. "What's wrong my love?"

          I pout. "I wish we could go to prom together. My mom is making me go with...Gavin because he's the son of my parents friends and I don't want to have to go with him. I rather run away then go with him. I have to do the play Friday with him and kiss him and talk to him and act like I'm in love with him when I don't want to." I cry afterwards.

            Jeydon holds me and tries to calm me down. "Shh it's okay I've got you. I'm sorry I can't make it to prom. Maybe you can fake sick so you don't have to go with him. Or you can convince your parents to go with your friends. I'm sorry about the play. I don't like it either."

            I reject him. "Can you please go please? I'm sorry I can't do this right now I need to be alone. Please go." 

            "Hazel why? I didn't do anything."

             I get red. "Go get out now! I need to be alone. I don't want to see you here anymore. I can't deal with you anymore just leave."

             He gets out of my room and goes elsewhere. I lay in bed upset and angry. I guess I'm skipping school today so I go in my closet to get some Vodka I hid once before  and drink and drink and drink till I black out. When I wake up a few hours later I throw up. I ignore my phone that is going off uncontrollably. I just read the messages and see I have some from Jeydon, Danny, Ava and Luna. All Danny, Ava and Luna say are they are worrying about me and why I wasn't at school. Jeydon left a few voicemails and long texts on my phone but I ignore his. I hear a knock on my door. 

            "Hazel? Are you alive?" Mike say's sarcastically. 

             I moan. "Err what do you want?" 

             "A whole bottle of Vodka really? Why did you skip?"

              I bitch to him. "It doesn't matter. What do you want?"

               "Danny, Ava and Luna kept bugging me at school to check on you since you aren't answering them. Also Mom and Dad wanted me to see if you went to school."

               I roll my eyes. "Can you please cover for me and tell them I did. I'm fine I swear just a lot has happened suddenly but I deserve it."

               "Haz I don't know what happened but I know you don't deserve it. I don't want to intrude on your business but laying in bed all day drinking won't solve anything. Believe me I done it many times and it doesn't help. Just suck it up and hide it all. It will be solved and everything will work out in the end. A girl as beautiful and nice as you will be okay."

                I smile. "Thanks bro. You know you aren't that bad after all." 

              He leaves the room and smiles. I text my friends and then we all FaceTime and I tell them all what happened.
