" how did you burn the pasta?" Jacob asked totally confused
" it's better than the house." Lydia tried to joke
Jacob just laughed.
Lydia was done attempting to cook. Jacob finished and they ate. He left a plate in the fridge for his mom.
Lydia devoured the food.
Lydia finished and started to clean her dish.
" Why are you cleaning your plate? You don't have too." Jacob said
" I want to. You cooked me food. You're my life saver because without food I would be dead. " Lydia said
" Okay. Wanna wash this one?" He asked handing her the plate.
" Ew no." Lydia said
Lydia found the picture on the fridge. She froze in shock.
" What's wrong?" She heard Jacob ask behind her.
" Where did you get this?" She said
" My mom found it. It's you isn't it?" Jacob asked
Lydia swirled around. "Yes. Do you know the story behind the picture? When you do you'll understand."
Understand? Understand what?
Lydia took a deep breath and headed towards the door. She walked home and went to her room. She pulled out a box with a bunch of photos. She saw the torn picture and remembered the story her mom had always told her.
Who ever has the other half, has the other half of your heart.
She sighed. She put it away and started drawing. She drew a tree. It took a good four hours and it turned out beautifully.
She hung it up and got ready for bed. She threw on a pair of sweatpants and a sports bra. Her hair was messing thrown into a bun. She soon fell asleep.
~time skip~
Lydia heard someone calling her. She grabbed her phone and answered.
" Who are and what do you want?" She snapped because who ever this was woke her up.
" Jeez. Why are you a bitch this morning? " Taylor asked.
" Oh sorry. What's up?" Lydia asked
" I may or may not be going on a date today." She trailed off
" OMG WITH WHO?!!??!" Lydia screamed
" Just the boy I've been crushing on for about like 2 years. Nothing big." Taylor said casually but Lydia knew that she was dying to scream and proclaim it to the whole world
" He finally asked you out????" Lydia questioned
" Yes and we're seeing a movie. "
" No talking? I thought you loved to talk to him."
" I feel like I would be nervous and then have no idea what to say. "
" Okay "
" Oh you know what would be so cute if we both reached for the popcorn and then our hands touched. That would be adorable." Taylor told her friend excitedly
" Okay. What is this 7th grade?"
" I gotta go. Bye." Taylor said and hung up.
Lydia got dressed and braided her hair. She put on a white crop top and black leggings. She threw on her running shoes and headed out for a run. No one was home because they had already left for work.
She started jogging and heard someone behind her. She started to run faster afraid that the person might try to kill her.
She soon started sprinting trying to make sure who ever it was had no chance of catching up. She was a pretty fast sprinter.
Lydia soon returned home and switched her outfit to something cuter.
She threw on a floral maxi skirt and left the white crop top.
She put on some sandals and decided to go out. She went to the mall and just looked around.
She saw Kai. She turned away and walked away. She didn't hate him but she was mad at what he did. It was two years ago but she knew how to hold a grudge.
She thought about those horrid memories and soon shoved them away. She walked into Forever 21 and soon forgot all about it by the cute clothes. She bought a few items and walked out. She walked to a Dairy Queen and she got a text from Taylor to help her get ready for her date. Lydia got her favorite ice cream and one for Taylor. Then she was off.
She arrived at Taylor's house a little later. She went upstairs, ice cream in hand. She saw Taylor in a blue dress with wedges. She was in the middle of straightening her hair.
" Hey, " Lydia said " you look nice "
I had this chapter written but I never published it. Sorry
