Just Admit You Love Me (COMPLETED)

Chapter 24: And the tears fall down.

Chapter 24: Sean.

I woke up the next morning and my tears were all gone. I threw my pillow down the laundry chute, mascara and eyeliner were smeared across it.

From yesterday’s tragic ending.

I hated that Junior had said goodbye.

I ran to my computer throwing a pillow that was ontop of it. I was beyond frustrated. Here I was crying over him when he was probably fine.

Luckily Junior was still hospitalized. I don’t think I could confront him today. A tear dropped from my eye. I was depressed but I wouldn’t give up.

My computer screen came on. Hurriedly I typed in my password and went to Facebook. I stocked Junior’s profile.

His picture was of him and me smiling, back when we were actually happy to be together.

Back when I could admit that I loved him and he believed me.

Back when everything was perfect.

I didn’t know me talking to Carter would make him this mad.

I clicked off his profile going to check my mail to see if I had any news.

Dear Sean McFair,

We are pleased to announce you have early enrollment into Point University. You are one of the head students and we are proud to have you escorted to campus and get the feel on things. We hope to see you here. Sign Up is Monday. Please call us when you know if you may attend or not.  Your room will be ready for you. You may not have a roommate. Yet, we suspect that shall not be a problem for one as bright as you. 

Hope to see you soon!

Signed,

Tersea Garrett

I ran downstairs skipping every other stair.

“Mom when did I apply for Point University?!?!?” I beckoned.

“I registered for you. I noticed you hadn’t done anything. Sean! You needed to think about it and I did it for you. Why?” She said her hair pulled up and her back turned from me as she washed dishes I walked into the kitchen and sat on the island.

“No reason.” I answered kicking my feet.

“Sean……” My mother said with a warning tone.

“Yes?” I asked acting oblivious.

“Why are you asking?” My mom repeated one more time throwing her towel down and turned towards me.

“Um, because they want me down for early admission!” I screamed excitingly jumping off the island and ‘happy dancing’ with mom.

“I knew it! Go pack, now!” She demanded. I laughed and looked at her.

“It’s Monday, Sean. If you want to make a good appearance before you actually show up, then you need to show up early to impress!” Mom said packing all her things in a briefcase.

“Well I need to say bye to Kay.” I replied.

“Alright, well I will meet you at your school. You can say your farewells and then we will get your needed papers for early admission.” Mom demanded already taking her keys to her car.

I huffed and ran upstairs grabbing a big tote bag to clean out my locker. I grabbed the bag when my eyes caught something in the corner of my nightstand.

There sat all the letters Junior wrote me, stacked neatly.

I quickly read threw them letting my eyes water a bit before regaining control. I had to be strong.

Swiftly I ran downstairs and towards my car. I started it and pulled out with ease. I’d miss my home, hometown, and everyone here. Although I knew for a fact, I’d miss Junior most of all.

Pulling into the school parking lot, I pulled towards the front. I grabbed my tote and walked inside. I dabbed my eyes and walked in with the most confidence I could muster up at this time.

Kay saw me immediately and ran towards me with Will in tow.

“Sean. Are you okay?” Wait had she known? How had she known……

“What are you talking about?” I asked walking towards my locker.

“Um, you and junior.” She answered. Duh, she didn’t know. She couldn’t have.

I arrived at my locker opening it slowly. I started piling stuff into the bag.

“Kay there is something I have to tell you and I want you to try to understand that this is what is best for me.” I pleaded while throwing my French class binder in the tote.

“I’m your best friend of course I will understand!” She said leaning against the lockers beside mine.

Will right beside her, being unusually quiet.

“Sean whatever you need. Kay and I can help.” He said. I shoved my head in my locker and let a tear slip.

A minute went by with my head inside my locker.

“Kay, I got early admission. Mom is making me take it. I am going to Point University….I will be there tomorrow.” I said taking my head out of the locker, and looking at Kay.

I broke. My heartbreak, my sadness, my depression all came rushing through. Crying, Kay grabbed my head and pressed it towards her shoulder.

I began crying insanely.

“Kay what am I going to do!!?!??!?!” I asked sobbing into her shoulder. She was rubbing my back.

“Sean, look at me. You are going to march into Point University and own it. You won’t take no from anyone. You are going to be the girl I always knew you would be. You are going to live your life and when graduation comes you are going to come back down here and visit us then we both are going to Point. Babe, it will be okay!” Kay said, tears now streaming her face.

“Kay….I can’t do it. This is the only home I know.” I studdered.

She looked at me and smiled.

“Hush baby girl,”

Will began rubbing my back.

A few minutes later mom called me and told me she was here. I dried my tears and became the fearless Sean I knew I could be.

Mom and me sat down and talked with the principal.

I didn’t think I needed to tell Junior about me leaving. We were done.

I couldn’t think about him now. All that got me was depression and sadness.

Mom held my hand as we got the papers. I put up a strong front knowing that as soon as I got to my room I would cry my eyes out. 

There was no way i could be as strong as Junior was. 

As i drove home I saw Junior walking home also.

A part of me wanted to stop, but i knew if i stopped and talked to him i would forgive him. I would be beyond willing to forgive him. 

If i forgave Junior, i knew there was no way I would go through with going to Point University. 

My life was in ruins.
