Unexpected Love (Complete and Edited)

Chapter 32 ❤

I ran for what seemed like hours and reached home.

I opened my door to my house, and quietly went upstairs to my room locking it.

I didn't want anyone to see me like this.

I took out my phone resulting in twenty calls and nine texts from Belle.

Twenty five calls and fifteen texts from Veronica.

And even ten calls and texts from Kai.

Last but not least, fifty calls and twenty nine texts from Drew, oh wait make that thirty two texts now. . .

I turn my phone off not bothering to reply to their messages.

I start to think about tonight.

It's crazy how things can be all joyous and everything is going right in your life, and then everything comes crashing down in your face.

Reality.

**

The next morning I actually dread going to school, why?

 Because I have to face the wrath of three angry people, Belle, Veronica, and Drew.

Not Kai he was probably just concerned.

A thought then comes to mind I have all of my work for school done for the next two weeks, and I have a perfect 4.0 GPA.

It wouldn't hurt to miss one day , so me Elizabeth Faith Corelli is going to skip a day of school!

Yay!

(Note the sarcasm)

It's only for the best I tell myself.

I walk downstairs and am about to tell my mom a little fib, so I can stay home today.

"Hey, mom." I call my mom who is busy making breakfast for my little brother who is about to go to school. "Yes, sweetheart?"

She says looking up at me with a soft smile, I hate to do this but it's for the best.

"Uh, I had a late night last night and  I was wondering if I could stay home today, I have everything done for the next few week's and I just-"

My mom cuts me off.

"Sure, sweetie it wouldn't hurt to miss one day especially since you're an overachiever in school right?"

I grin up at my mom.

"Yes! Thanks mom you're the best." I say hugging her.

I walk back to my room thinking,

That was way easier than I thought it would be, and I didn't even lie!

A few hours pass by and
I put my feet on my wall and play with the yo-yo in my hands.

No one is home and it is quiet and boring.

I already watched enough TV to last me a lifetime.

I put my shoes on, and head out the door heading to the park to clear my mind.

Once I arrive, I sit down on a bench taking out my ear buds and listening to music.

I think about Drew, Oh how much I love him and the feeling is not returned, not mutual.

A traitorous tear slides down my cheek, and I don't bother to wipe it away, Instead I just turn my ear buds up to full volume and close my eyes.

A few songs later, one of my ear buds is pulled from my ear, and I feel a presence take a seat beside me.

I look up to see Kai smiling sadly at me.

"How's it going? You seem glum." He says chuckling lightly.

I smile a bit, "Been better." I reply looking at my hands.

"See you haven't been to school today." He says starting with small talk.

"Yep." I say popping the 'p'.

All is quiet for a while and it gets slightly akward.

I guess Kai couldn't take it anymore.

"You could talk to me if something is wrong, I may not have not known you for a while but you seem like a great girl and it's the least I could do for my girlfriend's best friend, I see you haven't answered the calls or text people have sent you-"

I cut him off, "I love Drew." I say nonchalantly he furrows his eyebrows.

"Well no shit. I see it in both your eyes no doubt he loves you back."

"That's the thing, he doesn't I confessed last night and he didn't say a word so. . . I ran off."

I say looking at my shoes, that seem very interesting at the time oh look at the sparkles and the-    

"He loves you, I can see it no doubt." Kai says.

I sigh inwardly of course, he just doesn't get it he wasn't there so he just doesn't get it!

"You should talk to him. Ya' know talk things out and such."

He suggests and I sigh.
.
"Yeah, I should later though. I don't think I can handle seeing him right now with my emotions in tact." I say.

"Well let me help you sort them out."

A new but familiar voice says, I turn around and face the one and only Drew Stevens.

Damn.
