Free Falling {Gus De St Jeor FanFic} (#Wattys2016)

Chapter Thirteen

Makenna's POV:

*April 10th. The day they get back home. It is a Sunday*

"Are you kidding me?!" I exclaim throwing my phone down onto my bed in anger.

The girls look at me, each of them with different expressions. Jenna was worried. Jessa was confused. Rebecca was completely lost. Jasmin stopped what she was doing. I roll my eyes and turn my back towards them. I am beyond aggravated. It's been at least four days and I haven't heard back from my boyfriend at all. I have texted him at least a hundred times and after all those times, he still hasn't responded.

"Makenna, what's up?" Rebecca asks as she places her hand on my shoulder.

"I haven't heard from my so called boyfriend in four days. He hasn't responded to any of my calls and texts," I sigh looking down at my phone. "He has even been on snapchat at least twice. He has to be ignoring my texts and it's starting to tick me off."

"He hasn't responded to you, yet he has been on snapchat. What in the world did you do to him?" Jessa asks me.

"Nothing! I swear. He dropped me off here and then went home and he has talked to since. Do you think he has found someone else?" I barely mutter out.

"No! You know that he loves you," Jenna says as she comes and sits down next to me.

"School starts again tomorrow, ask him what's going on? Better yet, maybe you should just ignore him. Maybe he does have something he is hiding from you. Isn't your guys' three week anniversary coming up? Maybe he is planning on doing something big for it," Jessa says making Jasmin agree.

"I don't know. It's nothing to worry about. I'm not talking to him tomorrow." I say as my phone vibrates.

I quickly grab it and I turn the screen on. My mother's name flashes on the screen. I sigh and my eyes covert to my lockscreen. It was of Gus and I the night we had flown back to Cali. Rydel was insisting that she should take some pictures of us. Gus agreed but it took him a while to make me agree. Rydel drove us down to the beach and then let us walk around. Every once in a while, Gus would grab me to make me smile or he would do something crazy. I would smile and Rydel would snap some pictures. The one that is my lockscreen is of one where Gus is laying his head on my shoulder. His lips are slightly parted, as he smiles. My eyes are watching the waves hit the beach. Gus looks completely in love with me and happy. My phone background is a different story. After a while, we got tried of walking and Gus sits down in the sand. He has his knees bent and his feet are planted on the ground. His arms around behind him supporting him. My body is between his legs and my head is resting on his chest. My arms are around his knees. I have a smile on my face, while Gus' lips are on my cheek. Rydel had taken some pretty sweet pictures and then of course, she had to post them.

"Makenna!" The girls all yell at me.

I jump, "What?"

"We'll see you tomorrow. Your mom wants us to go. Just remember, he loves you. He would never ignore you on purpose," Jasmin says as we all exchange hugs.

I watch the girls leave my room before I shut my door. I plug my phone in. I change into one of Gus' shirts that I had stolen while we were in Colorado, on. I smile as I lay down. Tomorrow is going to be awkward.

*The Next Day*

"Look at the hottie whose hanging over on the wall," Jenna says as she nudges me.

I look up and see Gus and his siblings leaning against the school wall. Gus' eyes are covered by sunglasses, but I can tell still that he is looking for me. Gordy looks over at us and when he sees Jenna, he takes off. Gus looks up and sees me. He smiles at me, but I just walk away. I start to walk to my locker, hoping that he doesn't follow me. I turn around and see him talking to Jenna, his face is confused and he looks over at me. He nods at Jenna, but he is clearly not paying attention. I start again to my locker and I don't look back. After a while, I hear someone running after me. The person grabs my arm.
