And Life Goes On

My Boyfriend (12)

Jenna's P.O.V
       I watch with baited breath and tears in my eyes whilst a series of emotions flash through Sean's face. Sadness. Excitement. And then the worst one- disappointment. When I was in that room and they told me to pick someone to come with me, I wasn't thinking straight. I couldn't stop thinking that they were such bastards for making me go back to earth. I was selfish. So, so selfish. And watching Sean slowly stand up and walk out the room is the worst punishment for that. He knows he can't do anything about it because the Frontrunner's decision is final, so he has to come with me. I hate that I did this to him.
       But is it bad I'm also glad he's coming with me?

       Two hours later, I'm still sitting in the same position I was earlier. Looking at the clock on the table beside the bed, I can see its three pm. Suddenly, the door bursts open and a pissed off Lauren storms over to me.
       "YOU CAN'T JUST WALK IN HERE AND STEAL MY BOYFRIEND!" She screams, storming up to my position on the bed. 
       "I- I didn't," I stutter, intimidated by how close Lauren is. I edge further on to my bed and away from her angry face.
       "HE'S LEAVING BECAUSE OF YOU!" she continues, tears brimming her eyes. 
       "How'd you know about that?" I whisper. How many people know?
       "Word spreads quickly in Sky. You should know that by now." 
       "Yeah. Yeah, I should." He face softens slightly and she sits right at the end of the bed; far away from me.
       "Why'd you choose him? Why did you have to choose Sean?" she mumbles under her breath, placing her head in her shaking palms. 
       "I didn't mean to, I swear." I argue, but I know it's a lame excuse. I shouldn't have chosen him. It was a bitch move.
       "How can you not mean to? You did it!" Lauren yells again, raising her head to look at me. I suddenly feel exactly like a little kid again.
       "I wasn't thinking straight. I would take it back if I could." I mumble pathetically. Even I know it's a lost cause.
       "But you can't! Why did you take him away from me?"
       "Are you talking about Sean, or Daniel?" I ask softly, looking over at her and seeing a tear slide down her face.
       "I miss him so much... everyone thought our relationship was fake, but I loved him..."I start feeling uncomfortable, just watching her cry.
       "You'll find someone else..."
       "No, Jenna. There is no one else like Daniel." she sobs, before glancing at the clock on my desk. Her eyes widen.

       "Damn it! I was meant to be back after twenty minutes! I had a break between newbies!" I chuckle to myself watching her grab her jumper off the bed and run out the room.

       For a second there I actually forgot about the whole soul collector thing.
