Living Life(A Magcon Fanfic)

Start Again

        "Thanks guys!" I closed the door to the limo. I whispered in Luke's ear through this open window. "I'll text you later." He nodded and smiled.
    I inhaled and walked up the small path towards my front door. I fished the keys out of my pocket. Exhaling, I unlocked the door with shaky hands. As I opened the door, so many memories were flooded back to me. When I rushed over to the door 10 years ago to greet my dad home from work with a proud first tooth pulled out.
     Or when Tori came home crying from her Freshman ball because her date was too much of an ass to even show up.

   I was going to start Sophomore year before I went on tour with my mom. She showed me the pictures of them first in late July. Shawn had turned 16 then we went on tour with them. My mom was going to teach me stuff on the road, but I guess it never happened. I don't think I'll pass to get back into Junior year.  If I get held back, it's so much worse. I can't join halfway through the year. Or can I? Tori's old papers from her Junior year are probably still in her room. She left everything here when she graduated early.
     I can't just be the high school dropout in the family. With Tori's amazing A's, teachers expect a lot from me.

   Not even bothering to go into the kitchen, knowing that the note from a long time ago was still there, I went straight up to Tori's old room. I looked at her desk and cheered silently in my head.
     I spent at least three hours reviewing her notes for math, social studies, English and science. I had most of it down. I always kept in the B+/A's area with my grades. No way I'll let it down now.

   I thought about all the people I had left. The kid with really long hair that looked like junior John Lennon, bubbly little Sarah that I had always been sat next to. And Katie. God, Katie. I don't know that if I want to see her face. Because that face saw Shawn; way too up close and personal.
    I shook my head and went back to the notes.

  
   After a lot of shuffling through papers, I shoved a whole two semesters of high school into my brain. My teachers are gonna take a crap once they realize that I didn't miss much.
    I picked up my cellphone and dialed the school's number.

   "Hello, this is the Beacon Hills High School registrations office. How may I help you?" A pleasant voice spoke over the phone.
   "Yes, I would like to re-enroll myself into the Junior year. I, uh, took a break for the first half of the year." I explained.
     "Oh!" She sounded very concerned. "Do you think you can come in and explain your whole situation and fill out some papers?" She asked.
    "I can come in right now, if that's okay." I offered to her.
   "That's perfect. Can I just get a name real quick?" She sounded nice enough.
    "Allison Conrad. I'll see you soon." I hung up and let a simple smile settle on my face. Maybe everything will go back to normal.

   I took my mom's car to the school. I really didn't want to, half because I had my learner's permit and half because my mom is dead.

    I really need to get all these bad thoughts out of my head. I started the car and backed it of the driveway. Luckily, I made it to the school without dying. I don't know how this is going to work out. I can't support myself with school and a house. I need someone.

And then I realized my biggest mistake was leaving the boys. Then I remember that Matt lived in Virginia. My boyfriend.
And something changed then. I realized that I really don't want to go to school. Because there's this thing called online schooling, where I don't have to see anybody personally.

Now suddenly gleeful, I turned this car around. I drive back to my house. My house. It's sounds weird. But I own it now. I need someone more than ever now. Stupid dad leaving me in a piece of crap situation.
Back in the house, I collapsed onto a chair in the kitchen and put my head down.

Then I decided I need food. That happens a lot during the day. It was about 5:30. I found a pot and a box of spaghetti in the pantry. The fridge was surprisingly empty, like someone knew they'd be gone.
I cooked the spaghetti and sat down in the living room. I turned on the tv. It's a Monday and I heard that season 3B was starting tonight. I smiled lightly and flipped to MTV.

    My phone dinged by the hand. I scrunched my eyebrows and looked at it. I hadn't gotten any texts since I left Magcon. It was Luke.

   L: hey I thought you were gonna text me first. You're making me look desperate.

    I smirked and responded to him.

A: sorry. Just a lot of stuff running through my head.
L: like what?
A: like how am I gonna keep up a house without a job or license
L: you could come with us on tour. If it doesn't sound too crazy
A: thanks for the offer but I can't do that
L: why not?
A: I literally just met you. I can't just go on tour with you
L: you did that with Magcon
A: don't even mention them right now
L: I just thought that it wouldn't be any different. You hadn't even met them yet
A: just please stop. They're enough of my problems.
L: did you just leave because you didn't want to talk to your ex?
A: why are you bringing this up?
L: because I think you're being kind of selfish and not thinking right. You don't have to drop everything for some person that hurt you. He said sorry, now just forgive him.
L: let's face it, you need him like you need air.

A/N: Lukie's got a point. She's in a really hard place right now because she doesn't have money or any body who cares for her. Comment about your feelings on her situation, including her whole relationship with Shawn! I like reading your comments. Okay byeee🎲
