JESSICA

2 days later....

I was in math class right now. I tap my fingers against the wooden desk looking at the clock. Then the bell rang. I picked up my stuff and went straight to my locker. Everyone's heading for lunch. I see the empty halls. I sigh. I'm leaving in a 2 days. I go to the table with the squad.

"You guys I need to tell you something." I tell them. They all get quiet and look at me. I gulp.

"I'm moving." I announced.

I heard a bunch of them say, "what? Why? Everything okay?"

"It's some trouble my family and I are dealing with. It's dangerous for us to be in town." I explain to them.

"Where to?" Emma asked me.

"I don't know yet." I say.

"When do you leave?" Jace asks.

"In 2 days." I tell them.

"After school we're all going out to have some fun." Kaylee says as everyone agrees.

"Then it's settled." She said. I laugh and eat lunch for a bit before getting up and leaving.

I head outside of school and I sit on the brick wall and light my cigarette. I inhale and exhale the smoke. I saw Ruben walking this way. I panicked a bit, I've been trying to avoid him for he past 2 days. I look down avoiding his gaze. He stands in front of me. I don't look up. He takes my cigarette from my mouth I gasp. He throws it on the floor and smashed it. I was shocked, I scoff at him.

"What's wrong Jessie?" He asked trying to grab my hands but I pull away.

"Nothing." I murmured. I stand there looking down trying to avoid his piercing eyes.

"Your lying, you've been avoiding me. So tell me what's wrong." He said standing in front of me.

"Nothing." I reply quickly.

"Bullshit, what the hell is going on?!" He asks me getting mad. I didn't say anything. I stand up and look at him. His tall sexy figure in front of me. His beautiful face wasn't helping. I kinda just wanted to kiss him.

"So tell me." He says grabbing my hand.

"Nothing, just sleepy." I lie.

"Haven't gotten sleep?" He asks me. I give him the 'duh' face and He chuckles.

I laugh as I open the front door to my house. I just got back from an amazing short road trip. I go upstairs to my room and see cardboard boxes. I sigh and run my hand through my hair. My smile disappears. I've only packed two boxes. The rest are still empty. I start taking things down off my wall. I smile at them a picture of the squad and me laughing.

I go under my bed and find older pictures. A tear slips through eye and down my cheek. I smile at the photo. Ruben and I around the bomb fire him holding his guitar and me next to him singing. I remember this I sang and he played the guitar. I flip through them and find more pictures of us. There was a full shoebox of pictures of us. I pick up CD from my box. The letters said Let me explain.

More tears run down my cheeks. This was the song me and Ruben wrote together. I look more into the shoebox and find a tape that says Our bloopers. I laugh our bloopers from the song when we messed up so many times.

I'm crying of sadness but then in happiness. I guess I forgot about these. I miss the memories. I miss us. I miss feeling loved. But I miss him. The most.

I miss Ruben.
