The Broken Coaster

3

I picked out an outfit and sat it down on my bed, sighing shortly after. All of this drama has been stressing me out quite a bit lately. If I could get the guts to even pick up the phone and call him, that would make a difference. Maybe I should try it, tell him how I'm feeling. He'll understand. I picked up my phone off of my dresser and dialed his number. It rang 4 times.

"Hey this is Alex, I can't come to the phone right now, but ill get back to you soon." Seriously? I just want to talk to the boy. I sighed and fell back on my bed. I got dressed in my joggers and Hollister t-shirt, and left my hair down in it's straight position. I looked in the mirror and mumbled to myself.

"why do I love Alex, lord tell me why." I rolled my eyes and picked up my phone. '10 minutes.' my eyes widened and I pressed end. I paced the room back and forth hoping he didn't hear. A few minutes later I got a phone call from Alex. I picked it up and answered in my most innocent voice.

"Hey sorry I was with my girlfriend" I scoffed and decided he could see what I'm going through. That is, if he's in love with me too.

"Yea I'm with my boyfriend. So it's okay." I smirked. We sat in silence until he spoke up once again.

"Oh, um there's something I need to tell you, can we meet up later?" He stuttered. I chuckled.

"Sorry I'm with my boyfriend later." I smiled and hung up the phone. I heard my name being called, so I ran downstairs. I saw my mom lying on the floor, unconscious, so I immediately helped her up on the couch. I dialed 911, then Alex's number. They were both on they're way. I heard sirens and they ran inside. I tell to the floor, scared, and heartbroken, hoping my mom will still have her life after tonight. Alex grabbed my arm and I shook it off, tears falling down my cheeks. He lifted my chin up so I was looking at him straight in the eyes. I saw sorrow, hope, and lust. I kissed him. Yep, I'm an idiot. I kissed him right in the lips. It felt wonderful, until he pulled away. But then he kissed me again. It was like this until we noticed people were pulling us apart so I could be with my mom. I ran into the ambulance and grabbed her hand.

"it's gonna be okay mom, I promise." I smiled.
