Love is the Cure

14.

My mom got into an argument with me last night because my grades were going down because -and I quote-"you're trying to teach yourself instead of letting a teacher do it when it's their job."

In return of losing that fight, here I am sitting in the passenger seat of my mothers car as she drives me to school.

Taking my time to get out of the car when we get to the school I slowly walk through the crowd of people until I reach my first class and guess who's the only one when I get into the room.

Quickly turning back around her voice stops me. "WAIT."

When I halt she mumbles a please until I step back into the classroom.

"I meant it."

"Meant what?"

"Don't play dumb I saw you halt a week ago when I said I do love you."

I almost choked when she said loved. (The first time we dated she never said I love you because she was very serious about that word so for her to just say it like that was insane.)

"Ryan got you saying that so easily now." There was sadness weighing on my voice.

"Ryan? I've never told Ryan I love him, like I told you before I've only stayed for him this long because my mom wanted me to. Do you think that I never thought of you? Why do you think I couldn't look when Ryan knocked you down? I still care, always will always have." She stared straight into my eyes.

"Where the hell was all of this when I was in the hospital?"

"I was scared."

"I was too hell I was the one who couldn't fucking breath."

"I cried everyday for a month and every week for a year. I watched you get pushed and pulled in all directions and I wished I could just stand by your side and hold you close or whatever you needed. In fact I would have but my mom found out about Ryan and I think she fell in love with him more than I even liked him." She started sniffling and I knew she was crying.

"I'm sorry..." Hell why was I apologizing.

"No. I am sorry. I really wish we could talk and find all of this out but... I leave at the end of the day." She wasn't looking at me now.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean my mom got a job in Texas and were moving. I would of told you but how do you fit all of this conversation on text?"

My heart hitched "that's across the country how do you go from North Dakota (where we live now) all the way to Texas?!"

"I don't know my mom has a brother there I guess."

"Well hell, I can't even straighten this whole situation out."

"There's still texting..." She whispered.

"True."

"Ms. Amber." Our school secretary burst in the door.

"Yes?" Amber was confused.

"Your mom is her and she said grab all your books she got an earlier flight."

My heart dropped and Ambers jaw dropped, when her eyes met mine they flashed with pain but the secretary hurried her out before Amber could say anything. 

Dammit, I still love her and now she's gone. Why did it take her this long?

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
My beautiful people.

Ambers moving?! I know I hate me too right now but I got ideas. *laughs mischievously*

If you see someone without a smile give them one of yours. 😇😙
