One last chance

Chapter 2

Figures pov 😮😮😮

It's been to long. I walk up the road to Kyle's auto shop. I can hear drills, metal on metal, music and laughing. I look threw the garage door and see everyone their like old times. Kyle. Sam, James, C.C and Shay. But who's the other guy and those  three girls. It takes me a bit to figure out which ones Shay but I know her laughter anywhere. She moves her her hand to hide her smile as she laughs. No one seems to notice me yet so I just stand their awkwardly. Then Shay puts the camera to her eye and sees me. She stops laughing and all happiness leaves her face. 

Kyle notices looking at her then at me. Soon everyone is doing the same. The new guy looks at Shay and tries to say something but shays takes off upstairs. The girls follow in pursuit sending glares my way. James seems to be the only one happy to see me. Kyle stands up dropping his tool in the process. All the noise and happiness is gone. C.C walks up to me but shoves past me. 

"C come on,at least let me explain." 

"Oh, let you explain how my sister hates her birthday or the fact that my friend my brother just up and left with out a word." 

I watch as he leaves but the other guys come up and great me like old times. I smile at them and realize how much I missed them.Where have you been man?" "What took you so long to return?" I can hardly say anything without them asking another question.  I look over at the new guy who is coming down the steps. "Whose this James?" James looks over at the guy. "Oh that's Noah. After you left we needed someone else to join and we'll C.C found him."Noah nods his head. He pics up the camera Shay was messing with. 

"Wellt answer your question I was sent to boarding school by my dad and he just grabbed me and threw me on a plane. I wasn't aloud to use a phone until I graduated. And what does C mean about Shays and her birthday." Noah scoffs but Kyle nudges him.  "Um well you see no one knows why she hates her birthday so much since you left but we don't celebrate it anymore." I scrunch my eyebrows. 

I think back to that day. "Hey since its my birthday can you promise me one thing Ben?" I laugh but nod my head yes. "Promise you won't leave C.C and I like our parents. I don't  think we can handle that a second time. "I promise. I'm not going anywhere." 

I can see why she hates me and her birthday. I broke my promise and never told her why. I'm brought bake to reality when Sam starts snapping his fingers in my face. "Sorry, just thinking about memories." They all laugh except for Noah. Kyle looks at the clock, well time for lunch. Sam fist bumps the air. "I wonder what Shays making today." Suddenly the door up stairs is swing open then shut. The three girls from earlier walk down grabbing their things and leaving. Shays walks down totally ignoring me. She tries to keep from looking at me but she does here and their.she sure changed. She got taller, has black and purple hair and slimmer.  Suddenly her eyes light up and she smiles. ,"Teddy!!!" She runs past me hugging some other guy. "Hey , and Happy bad birthday to you!" I scrunch up my eyebrows in confusion

 She roles her eyes at him and suddenly they are fighting head on. Knocking things over and blocking hits and kicks. "Hey not in the shop!!!!!!!" Kyle yells. They stop fighting and laughing. "Yo Kyle where's the boss." Kyle nods his head to the back street. " I got to take care of something Shay. Sam James lets go." Teddy follows the guys out while I'm left with an unhappy guy and a girl who hates me. 

"So where have you been?" Shays asks. 

"Just boarding school all these years. Yeah my dad  forced me to go. I'm sorry I didn't say anything but I didn't want to ruin your birthday and all." 

Noah scoffs, "to late for that." Shady gives him a look before nodding her head in understanding. "You still should have called or wrote, do you know how hard it was to get C.C back to himself. I told you we couldn't handle it but you left anyway. C.C trusted you but you killed that trust. He won't trust anyone anymore.  How could you do this to him!! To me?" 

I look down not knowing what to say as she runs past me. Noah glares at me. "Why did you come back, it took me two years toget her back to Her usual self. You should've stayed away. Noah walks away cleaning up his area around a Ford Mustang. 

I think about what he says but I know it's a good thing I did come back. And ill make sure Shay is happy again.
