Until The End

Breathe

>>Lucy's POV<<

Snap !
The camera flashed as a picture of the sunset saved to my polaroid. The laminated picture on paper popped out the bottom of it.
I took it in my two hands and squinted my eyes at the picture I had taken. The camera was focused well, meaning I had detail on the colors that reflected the sun.
It layered in yellow, orange, pink and faded into a pale purple. There was a tree in my view that appeared in black in front of the setting sky. Overall, I think I had done a good job.

I slid the polaroid into a white envelope, that's where I keep all the pictures I take.
I sealed the envelope with a paper clip and put it back into my bedroom drawer.

Once I had went downstairs and got a snack, I sat on my bed and listened to music. I hummed along to the song whilst flicking through my notes for media.
Honestly, in all seriousness, I didn't know what the heck I was gonna do for my future. I mean, look at Troian, she's got everything served to her on a plate, and she's really complaining about choosing one of the many colleges she'd applied for?
I know I sound selfish, but what about me? What happens next? I have enough problems as it is, and I thought after exams were done, everything would be fine. But I guess I needed a wake up call.
I don't even want to go to college to be honest. I might not even go.

I'm starting to become Troian. Letting school and my future get ahead of me. But then that time will come when I really do have to deal with it, and I'll wish I didn't worry so much and just lived in the moment. There's no point in worrying about something that's yet to come. College or no college, It's still my life, and I'll make my own choices. I wont let things like school and winning over-load my brain. I'll want to overlook high school memories and smile, maybe even cringe. Not remembering all the times I sat and worried about things that weren't half as bad as I had imagined.

So, that was why I decided to put away the textbooks, and enjoy my last 3 days of the summer that was left. I wanted to make Troian feel the same way, to let go. I think it would be nice for her to just forget about stress and school. Besides, I liked the idea of it being just me and Troian. She tends to keep herself hidden when she's around a group of people, or even just one person that she hasn't opened up to.  That's why I wanted to organise a little girl's night out, so she can put herself out there and remember that the teenage life isn't all puberty and rebelling out.

I'd been calling her like crazy after I'd noticed 6 missed calls from her. Me, jumping to conclusions, immediately started to panic for her. If 6 calls in the same minute isn't alarming, I don't know what is. Why would she need me so much in that moment?

Okay, I knew I was over-reacting as always. She was probably just wanting to hang out or something.

That's when I noticed the texts.
