How Everything Changed (Book 4)

Chapter 40

*Lola*

I walked down the long beach sidewalk, that girl on my mind. Now, before you ask, I'm not in love with her. It's just that I hate seeing people looking like she did. All sad and down like that...really pulls at the heart strings.

My thoughts ran awry when I ran straight into someone. We both fell backwards and I landed on my ass. I looked over at the other person I ran into and I saw it was that girl again, only this time, she was wearing an outfit that was a far cry from when I saw on her Wednesday evening. On Wednesday, she was wearing an outfit that was totally her own style. Don't get me wrong, this was totally her own style, but she had more of her body covering then she did the last time.

"Hey, its you again!" I said. She looked up at me and sighed sadly.

"Hey..." she said getting up, grabbed her phone from off the ground, and started to walk away. I couldn't let her walk away without trying to find out what's on her mind.

"Hey, I was thinking maybe we grab some coffee? You look like you need some." She just shook her head.

"Are you okay?" I asked. She looked hesitant to tell me what was on her mind. I mean, we just met a few days ago.

"Yea...I'm fine. Thanks." She gave a half wave and continued down the sidewalk.

"If someone is hurting your feelings..."

"I-I'll see you later," she walked away and I just shook my head. She really was starting to concern me.
