5:00 Runs

chapter 9

A couple weeks have passed by and I can stop wearing my crutches in a week, but I have been starting to have them again. I could hear the screaming and crying all over again. My stomach clenching and my sobs uncontrollably rolling down my face. "ALEX WHERES ALEX, WHERES CONNOR!" Everyone could care less about me and just cared about my brothers.

I woke up with someone shaking me. "Jess,wake up,"they said frantically. "What",I asked all confused. "You were screaming and I heard my name J you scared me,"Alex sad with a solemn look on his face. "Sorry I just had another nightmare,"I exclaimed by still shaking from fear. "It'all be alright"he said while stroking my hair. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have Alex he may be a pain in my ass but I love him to death.

I woke up to the sound of hell ringing also know as my alarm clock. I guess I fell asleep and Alex tucked me in. I heard my phone buzz off of my nightstand and I checked to see who it was. God what an asshole Blake decides to text me now?! Ever since he's been MIA Abigail has driven me to school every day since I don't have a car. I know I know it sounds lame

I'm 17 year old girl and I don't have a car but it's a lot more complicated than that.

Blake said we need to talk, that's never good.

I decided to just walk to school since I was meeting up with Blake even earlier than usual. He said he could pick me up but walking makes me clear my mind and think, just what I need to do.

It was 7:20 and schools starts at 8:00 so it was completely empty. As I reached the steps we meet at for some reason my stomach starts to churn.

"Hey,"Blake sais. "Where were you,"I ask abrupt trying to get to the point. "I was with my parents,looking for houses." "Your moving that's great I always thought your room was small," I say.

"No J you don't understand we were looking in Colorado." He said nervously "Why would you look in Col-,"I stop talking once I finally process what he's saying. Blake my cousin, who is also my best friend is moving what the actual fuck?!

No more runs together or movie nights every Friday or sitting by the stairs and he won't pick me up from school. I feel my eyes starting to water as I realize he won't be here he's leaving me, just like everybody else does.

I can't take this anymore my head starts to spin and my eyes start to turn red from crying. What makes me mad is Blake just stands there he doesn't comfort me like he usually does, he doesn't do anything. Just like everybody else he changed and that's what I was worried about from the beginning.

I decide I need to get out of here anything to get away from this situation. I need caffeine I think as I leave that asshole and I walk Cassy's Coffeshop. After I order my highly caffeinated drink I sit down and sulk. We've been through the good times together and the back as cheesy as this sounds he's my rock without him I'll become depressed again.

I didn't realize thinking takes up so much time. I checked my phone and saw that it was 11:30! Well I'm in need shit now. But I don't care. Since I feel like shit I think I'm gonna visit him.
