**Jessicas POV**
I haven't talked to Eleanor or Luke in weeks. I barely spend time at home with my family. I barely get any sleep as well. My grades are dropping and i have been skipping class more often. I never go to band practise even though im still offially in the band. I dont even like Travis or the weed. Its just a distraction. Something to keep my mind of the hurt.
To be honest i dont even care about Luke i could talk to him and be friends with him; hes not the one causing me the pain. Its Eleanor. She was the first really good friend i have had since i moved. I wasnt that close with Macy or Jackson. Not even that close with Luke.
I miss her alot and i would do anything to talk things over with her. Im not even mad anymore. Sure she kissed the boy i liked but its not like Luke and I were an official couple. We went on one date thats it.
Still, i skip class to hang out with Travis and his gang of weird hippie friends just to get high. I needed Eleanor to keep me grounded. To keep me from doing something like this.

Righ now im in the school showers just after soccer training. This is the only time i really see Eleanor. She just gives me sorry looks and i pretend i dont care. I get out of the shower and quickly get into some flowy shorts and a tank top. Of course i will probably get a dress code violation but who cares: im going to where what i want.
The weather is warming up thank god.
I step out if te shower cubicle and see Eleanor sitting on the bench plaiting her long blue hair; which now has her natural brown roots. I cant help it i have to say something to her. I go and sit next to her and lean my head on her shoulder. She obviously taken by surprise but she stops plaiting her hair and puts her arm around me.
"I dont even like weed." i had no idea wht else to say. She laughs and embraces me in a bone crushing hug.
"I have missed you Jess!" she cries.
"I know me to! im not even mad anymore." i pull away and notice we both have tears streaming down our cheeks.
"Your not?" she asks. I shake my head in reply.
"Thank god." and she hugs me again. This time a more gentle hug.
"I dont mind if you go out with Luke." I suggest. She smiles at me and instead of replying she gets up and grabs my hand. Together we walk outside.
Luke is obviously stunned to see us like this but he smiles and comes over.
"Are we all okay then?" he asks, putting an arm around Eleanor. I nod.
"Even with this?" he questions gesturing to him and Eleanor.
"Of course!! now come here." i hug him tightly in a friendly way.
