Paige's POV
Every year my whole family gets together for a family reunion. I've always hated it. I've never gotten along with any of my cousins, but I'm forced to 'hang out' with them at the reunion.
I put on a black pair of jeans, a pink blouse and a leather jacket. "Ready?" I hear my mom call up from downstairs.
"Yea, I'll be down in a minute." I shout back.
"We will be in the car."
I find my black Vans and grab my phone off the charger.
It's about an hour drive to where the reunion is held, so it's boring.
*texts*
Jack- only a few more days
Me- can't wait, I miss you
Jack- I miss you too😩
Me- what are you doing today?
Jack- probably going to the beach with the boys, you?
Me- family reunion😒
Jack- oh yea. you'll have fun😌
Me- yea loads
*skips rest of car drive*
When we arrive I'm pretty sure we're the last ones and we're probably late too. "We don't tell anyone about the divorce." My mom says.
"Wasn't planning on it." I say flatly, getting out of the car.
We walk into the building and take a seat at a table with my aunt and uncle. "You're cousins are over there." My aunt points to a group of boys and girls.
"K." Is all I say.
"Why don't you go say hi." My mom says.
"Sure thing." I fake a smile.
I walk over to see my cousins. "Hey Paige." My cousin, Julie, says.
"Hey Julie."
"You look nice." She smiles. She's always happy and I don't like it.
"Thanks." I say, "when's this thing over?"
"When everyone leaves, idiot." My cousin Mike says.
"Thanks bud." I give him a thumbs up. Mike I hate the most, he's an ass.
I sit down at the table, and pull out my phone. "Hey loner, put the phone away." Mike says.
"Shut up, Mike." Mike stands up, leaning over the table and grabbing my phone, "give me my phone back."
"Who's Jack?" He asks.
"Go through my messages and I kill you." I eye him.
"Awe look you must be dating, you've only said 'I miss you' to each other like five times today."
"Give me my phone back!" I say louder.
"'Only a few more days and we will be with each other again' wow seems like a cheesy ass guy."
"Don't fucking say that."
"'I miss you Paige'"
"Mike! Stop!" I scream, "give me my phone!"
"'I can't imagine what you're going through, I never thought this would happen to your parents' hmm lets see what's going on with your parents." Mike scrolls up, "'my parents are getting a divorce and I don't know what to do.' Awe Paige is going to be even more of a loner."
"Stop!" Tears start streaming out of my eyes.
"Micheal!" I hear my aunt cry. Mike throws my phone back and I run out of the building.
I sit on the sidewalk and cry, from inside I hear a microphone turn on, "Hey everyone, it's me Mike, I just want to let you know Amanda and Dave are getting a divorce. Thank you."
I cry harder and hear footsteps coming from inside the building. "We are leaving, I knew I couldn't trust coming here." My mom stormed out of the building, "get up." She yells at me.
"What the fuck did I do?" I yell.
"You told them."
"I didn't tell them shit, he took my phone."
"Bull, get in the car we are going home." My mom yells in my face.
"Whatever, I can't believe you don't trust me."
