Senior Year

Capturing The Beautiful Moments

A lot for thinking I knocked out. These days have been so busy okay nevermind more like depressing yup 'fuck you Dylan!'
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!
Barley realizing that for the first time I answer the house phone when I'm sleeping. Maybe with the hope that it was Dylan.
"Hello?"
"Alex? Are you sleeping?" I guess Amy didn't get the message of I just need time for myself. Not answering her calls wasn't enough!
"I have called you more than 20 times! Now I know why!"
"Amy can we talk later." I say turning to the other side of my bed still half asleep.
"No! We need to talk!"
"Can I just sleep. We'll talk later."
"No. Whats wrong. Since Dylan hasn't been going to school you've kinda been different. For God sakes you don't even eat at lunch. I see you even if you don't want to hangout with me and Zac. I know your good at hiding your feelings but Alex you like the dude."
"Amy, he's not coming back."
"What! Did he die? Did something happen to him?"

"What! No. Amy he left to New York forever."

 
"Oh Alex I'm so sorry. How are you hanging?"

"Good but I just need time to myself for now."

 
"I'm canceling the road trip. Your first..."

"No where going! I think it would be good. Escaping. Capturing the moments of our senior year, you know. It will be something to remember."

"Yeah but are you sure. I mean I just want you to be okay. Your not just my best friend but my sister. I love you. You hurt I hurt. You smile I smile."

I let out a little laugh.
"Yes I'm sure Amy. Thank you for everything! Really! Ill talk to you later I'm going back to sleep."

"Okay. Bye"

"Bye."
Well great I have to get up now. Walking down the hall in my PJ's with a messy bun I look at the pictures on the wall. We we're so happy. Why did dad leave? I miss him so much. I heard not to long ago he got divorced and has been dating a new girl and moved somewhere else I. As I once told him he changes woman like underwear. And it's really not true because he's only been married two times but still. Getting at the end of the hall I stare at something for a minute or two the house phone rings! After snapping out of my zoning out mode I run back to my room.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Alex it's dad." It's raining right! He never calls me I mean never seriously!
"Dad?"
"Alex! How have you been my love? How's senior year going? Better not have a boyfriend I'll kill you."
I was in so shocked. Sitting down on my bed I answer. "I've been great!"
Lie. "Senior year is awesome!" Lie.

"I was wondering Alex if you wanted to come to New York for 'spring break.' You can take some cool pics over here. Its so beautiful. I haven't seen you for a year! You can also meet my new girlfriend." NEW YORK. Out of all the 54 states here he had to go to New York! Girlfriend? I thought he was just dating. Its a very ugly picture to imagen. "Ill think about it. Okay. I promise I'll give you a answer soon. Ill call you as I have it."
"Okay. I love you. I miss you so much. And I just want to make up for lost time. I'm sorry for not calling you often." First time he's sorry!!! Yup it's going to rain. "Ill call you in four days and I want my answer missy okay. Love you. Take care."
"You to dad. Love you too. bye."
"Bye."
I get up from by bed I start jumping on it! All I could do is smile. All these days been depressing but my dads call reminds me of how much I need to here those words. 'Love you Alex, I'm sorry.' Thats all I needed to hear. I missed him so much. As I stopped jumping on my bed which by the way is destroyed now I realized Dylan was there, in New York.
No, Alex stop thinking of him all he does is cause pain in you. Your strong you don't need him at all! You'll make it without him. It was just not to be, okay. Be strong!

Next day.

After the whole speech to myself yesterday I called Amy and told her that I wasn't going to be able to go on the road trip. She totally understanded me. She knows I haven't spent so much time with my dad so she was okay with it. After are conversation I feel asleep.

Getting out of the bus this time it felt less painful. I was moving on little by little. "Hey Alex." Turning around I found out I was Cameron. "What!"
"Fuck I just said hi."
"Sorry."
"Apology accepted." He said as we walked on the campus. "So how have you been?" We stopped and I look at him. "Good getting there." That was so true! No need to lie to Cam. After I stopped liking him it wasn't so awkward like it was. We we're finally just friends or better said sister and brother! "I'm glad to hear that. Well if you weren't going to ask. I'm doing good."

"Oh I almost forgot. How are you Cameron?" I ask sarcastically. "Fuck you. " He says as we start walking to class. "Fuck you too." I say smiling back at him. Those words pretty much sum up our relationship.
As we sit down in calculus class Ms.Gomez starts talking about the project. I get it we have to finish it because next week is are last week of school before spring break. Those words stick like super glue when you hear them everyday. She kept blabering about it in till the bell rang. THANK YOU JESUS IT DID! I would of died if it didn't.

After School
"Alex you want a ride home?"
"After all these three  years now you ask me!" Cameron starts laughing.
"Hey. Better late than never right? Yes or no."
"Yes!" As we both hop in his car he says. "I never asked you because Britney never wanted to let me."
"She had you on a leash like a dog Cameron." I said bursting in laughter. "No she fucken didn't!" He said starting the car.
"Oh yeah she did Cameron just admit it." As we head out of the schools parking it was silent in till Cameron said. "Okay! Okay! Maybe she did and real good. " I respond smiling at him.
"Its nice to know you had the balls to admit it."

"Well thank you."

"Your so welcome. I haven't mentioned to you I'm going to my dads for spring break."

"Miracles do exists. Thats good thoe."

"Yeah I'm excited."

"I bet you fucken are!"
I don't know how fast he drives but we made it home in less than 10 minutes or am I exaggerating? I really don't know. Ufffff.
"Thanks for the ride Cam."
"Anytime." He said winking at me. His winks used to melt my heart but not anymore they really just are disturbing.
"I think your eye just  twitched!" I say opening the front door of the house.
"Shut up."
