Forever and Always

Chapter Thirteen

I couldn't get him out of my head.

I can't remember anything from any of my classes. The only thing I could even think about was him.

I need to just stop thinking about his beautiful face.

Fuck.

It's not like he's just going to wake up one day and talk to a girl who's way below his league.

And let's not forget his bitchy girlfriend. She may be a total brat but she's way prettier than me.

WHY DO I EVEN CARE!

I only have 20 minutes of school left.
But the last minutes are always the longest.

Study hall is so fucking boring. This teacher just sits at her desk scrolling through her phone the whole hour.

My eyes scanned the room out of boredom. Most of the kids weren't working on school work. Instead they were scrolling through their phones or sleeping.

My boredom was interrupted by the classroom door opening. The principal came walking through with a fake smile plastered on her face.

"Good afternoon Ms.Brudwick, I'm here for Alex. I hope I'm not interrupting anybody's studies."

The teacher smiled and shut off her phone.

I grabbed my bag and walked out of the classroom. The principal smiled at me and we started walking towards the office.

"How did your first day go?"

"It was okay."

Actually it was okay... Besides people staring and laughing at me, today wasn't that bad.

Maybe today was terrible. But I wouldn't know because the only thing I payed attention to was Dakota.

"That's good to hear. Chasity will be here in just a few moments. You can wait in the office."

When we got to the office I sat down on a chair right by the principals desk. Her name tag was secured on the front.

Principal "Ren Harns"

Now that I think about it she never told me her name. That's kind of weird...

I grabbed my phone and began scrolling through Facebook, but nothing was loading.

"What the fuck?"

I haven't checked any of my accounts sense I got to California. I closed out of the app and tried my snap chat.

Nothing was loading.

I looked at the top of my screen and realized my phone was shut off.

OH MY GOD!

If anyone has been trying to get ahold of me I wouldn't know! What if Skylar was trying to talk to me?

Chasity walked into the office in the middle of a phone call. She hung up the call and put the phone in her name brand purse.

"Hey Alex! How was your first day?"

"It was okay."

"That's good! Well come on let's go home."

She turned around and headed to her car. As soon as we walked out of the school, the bell rang signaling the end of the school day.

Everyone came charging out of the school. But luckily we were in the car before the herd of wild animals came to attack.

The car ride home was silent.

Sometimes I hate the silence.
I hate it because it screams the truth.
It screams that I'm never going home.

It tells me everything I already know...

----------------------------------------------

When we pulled into the driveway another car was there. It was probably Jamie.

He seems like a total douche bag. Then again I've only met him once... I might as well expect the worse so then I won't be disappointed.

I got out of the car and followed Chasity into the house. I can't get over how beautiful everything is here.

It's the complete opposite of my house. Everything was worn down or broken. I really wasn't downstairs that often. Usually I just stayed in my room hating life.

That's probably what I'm going to do here. Just because they took me away from all I've ever known doesn't mean it's going to change me...

I took off my shoes and started walking towards "my" room. It's gross to say but it doesn't seem like I'm leaving here anytime soon.

"If you're hungry you can just grab something from the kitchen!"

I hate how she screams like I'm so far away, when really I'm just down the hall. For fucks sake woman.

"Thanks..."

I shut my door before she tried talking to me. It's not that I don't like her personally... I just don't like anyone.

I grabbed my phone and called the company to hook it back up. After 30 minutes of stupid questions it finally turned back on.

My phone BLEW UP with notifications.
I let it sit for 5 minutes before trying to respond to anything.

"Please be Skylar... Please be Skylar."

I reached for my phone and opened up my text messages. The first person I saw was Skylar. I felt my heart start racing at the countless unanswered messages.

(Skylar's messages):
"Alex where are you?"
"Why aren't you answering me?"
"Alex I'm sorry! 😭"
"Please come back! Please I'm so sorry!"
"I'm a worthless piece of shit!"

Before reading the rest of his messages I hit the call button and waited for his familiar voice.

Please...
