Chapter 25: Junior
The doctor had signed me out of the hospital and cleared me for school Monday.
I woke up Monday morning already regretting my choice of dumping Sean. But I had too. She went behind my back.
She talked to Carter my worst nightmare, enemy, and nemesis.
Yet, my yelling at her probably didn’t help at all. If anything made it worse, but she had to understand my jealousy.
I got up and dressed for school, already preparing to apologize to Sean.
I showed up at school and walked in with my backpack.
My locker was a bit close to Sean’s.
I overheard her crying on Kay’s shoulder. I assumed it was over us.
I silently walked by trying to stay unnoticed.
As Sean walked off I approached Kay.
“She’s that messed up huh?” I asked.
“It isn’t about you, idiot.” She answered wiping her own eyes. Where tears used to be.
“What are you talking about? I saw her crying.” I said throwing my arm over Kay’s shoulder. She threw it back down and walked off a bit before falling back on a locker.
“Get off me. And it wasn’t over you!” She yelled at me.
“What was it over then?” I asked.
“I can’t tell you.” She responded.
“Of course you can.” I pleaded.
She started to walk off and I chased her.
“Kay what is wrong with her?” I demanded.
Kay kept walking this time faster.
“Kay!” I shouted.
Will came around the corner.
“Hey man stop for a second.” Will called out.
I turned around towards him.
“Yeah?” I asked
“Don’t mess with Kay right now. She’s pretty messed up about Sean’s early admission.” He explained.
“Wh-what?” I stammered.
“Sean’s early admission to Point? She won’t be back down for a month. Not until graduation that is.” Will said watching Kay walk off.
“She…..uh……….she didn’t tell me.” I said saddened.
How could Sean just up and leave and not tell me. Didn’t she realize it would break my heart.
“Man, I am sorry but we gotta get to morning practice or Coach is gonna kill the both of us.” We ran to the football field. I couldn’t do much. So coach told me to run some to strengthen my ankle.
I was still sore and If I didn’t keep my leg up my ankle would swell.
“Junior come work on passes with us.” Coach Brick called.
I followed and jogged towards the field.
“Hey welcome back bro.” Michael said.
“Thanks.” I greeted half heartedly.
Coach paired me and Will up to toss.
He threw it and I wasn’t even paying attention It hit me square in the chest and got me off balance. I stumbled backwards.
“Junior you okay?!??!!?” Will yelled hustling over to me.
“Yeah. Just not focusing…………………..I can’t do this.” I said and got up. Jogging, I ran towards the track. I started running.
I ended up running til I was epicly sore.
I started walking home, as I was about 5 blocks away. I passed Sean driving home. I knew she left school early. So did I.
Of course she had permission though, I didn’t. I couldn’t take not being with her. I should never have broke up with her.
She was the best thing I could have ever imagined.
I started chasing after her car, but she didn’t see me.
I slowed back down to a walk and the rain came down hard.
Slowly, I pulled up my hood.
It was like the sky was crying for me. Unwillingly tears threatened to expose themselves.
Nothing could contain it. All at once, tears rained down from my eyes.
I missed her already. I was so stupid.
I had probably just made the stupidest mistake I could have ever made.
As I headed home my head hung low.
How could i be stupid enough to let her go?
Hurriedly to get out of the rain, I fiddled with the doorknob. Finally it unlocked.
I charged in and ran to my room slinging my backpack and nike duffel bag, that contained all my sports gear, to the floor.
I ran towards my bed and flung my body on it. I never wanted to leave here. I never wanted to face the real world.
My bed, was now my safe haven.
The door knob clicked as i turned around to see who it was.
"Mom..Uh i am fine." I mumbled.
"No your not. Junior, I am not stupid." Mom replied approaching my bed.
She reached the bottom of my bed and took a seat.
"Tell me about it." She demanded.
I sat up and looked at her. My armor of being the strong Junior went down in flames.
Tears rushed themselves out of my eyes as if they were all in a race. Depression sat in, I fell onto my mother's comforting lap. My snot in tears trailing to her pants.
"Momma, Sean is moving on to college." I wailed.
"Ah, well Junior that is what is best for her. She can't help it. You will be there soon, son. I promise and if you want you can go to Point too. I know you love her. Yet, I also know that the way she looks at you, with all that love, is the same exact way i look at your father. " She confronted.
"We aren't together an-anymore...." I stumbled.
My tears now like a spring, or creek, wild and untamed. There would be no stopping my tears until i ran dry.
All these tears were for Sean. Every single tear burdened with my love for her.
"But i know you two will work it out. Junior, you both love each other I promise it will work out." She said before lifting my head up and setting it on a pillow. She walked out before turning around and flashing that warming smile.
I had never felt so alone. Yet, mom comes and turns everything around.
