That is literally all I had for this chapter for like a week. I just couldn't think. I'm sorry. Anyway, I'll write this chapter now. I can't believe this is almost over!

I woke up the next morning to my alarm, and I rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, and wished I hadn't. I looked terrible. My eyes were puffy and my face was really pale. I had not been paying attention to my looks at all for a while, and now I was paying for it. I sighed and did the best I could, covering all the flaws with concealer. I quickly curled my eyelashes and put on some eyeliner and mascara. Then I went to my room and picked out a black skirt and a purple shirt with shoes to match. I didn't bother with accessories or jewelry. Who did I have to impress? 

After I was done getting ready I grabbed my backpack and went downstairs. I grabbed a granola bar for breakfast and got in my car. I drove to school and parked, and just sat there for a minute. I was a junior. A junior! This was it. I got out of the car and got my schedule from the gym. I went to my locker and left some of my books there, then went to my first class. I had good spirits about this. I needed this to get my mind off other things. I was doing better, it felt like I was mending. I walked in happily, to see that everyone was staring at me. 

I'd gotten there late. How did I not hear the bell??

I awkwardly apologized and sat in the empty seat at the front of the room. All eyes still on me.

My day only went downhill from there.

In English, I failed the test we had on the summer reading.

I didn't have my physics book for class, it was in my locker. 

I got lost on my way to History.

I forgot my lunch money and didn't get eat lunch.

I somehow tripped and scraped my knee on my way to music.

I couldn't open my locker after music and got late to my next class.

My friends ignored me all day.

Pretty much everything that could have gone wrong did. By the time I got back to my car at the end of the day I was close to tears. I quickly drove home and went up to my room, since neither of my parents were home yet. I opened the door and walked in with a sigh. 

I sat down on my bed and put my head in my hands, trying to shake out all the bad memories from the day.

I heard a knock on my bedroom door, and I curiously went to open it. Who would be here? Not my parents, and not my friends...

Ross.

He was standing there a bit awkwardly, with his hand on the back of his neck.

"Hey.." He said softly.

I took one look at him, and my jaw dropped.

My eyes welled with tears.

"What's wrong??" He asked, coming over to me. I sniffled and he wrapped his arms around me. I hugged him back and didn't let him go. Tears started falling down my face and onto his shirt, and I gripped him tighter. He stroked my hair slowly and tried to calm me down, but this was just too much. I couldn't handle this much drama in a day.

After I finally stopped crying, I looked over at him again out of the corner of my eye. 

"How did you get in here?" I asked softly.

"Umm... the front door was unlocked..." He said a bit awkwardly.

Oh. 

"I don't want to be rude.. but why did you come?" I asked. We hadn't ended on the best of terms. And he hadn't called me back or answered my texts either!

"You never called me, or texted me. You wouldn't talk to me on the phone. Why did you come here?" I questioned. I sat down on my bed, and he sat next to me.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. I just.. at first I couldn't stand to talk to you because I was miserable without you and I thought that if I tried to forget about you, it would help me. I'd get better. And then when I wanted to talk to you, I lost my phone. And I just thought that I needed to see you. So I came here. Riker told me where your house was, and I just showed up here and the door was unlocked.... The point is, I missed you! That's why I'm here." He said. There was a sort of innocent look in his eyes. 

A smile slowly formed on my face, and got bigger and bigger. I leaned over and gave him another hug and his lips met mine too. We both smiled into the kiss and I never wanted this to end.

"I love you, Jenna" He whispered. 

My heart beat faster when he said this. I grinned and giggled.

"I love you too, Ross." I whispered back.

Well, I finally wrote this. I might have like one more chapter left in me, or an epilogue. What do you guys think? Should this be the end? Pleasseee help me out here!!!!
