Green Day Academy (Slowly Editing)

Chapter 29

A/N

(Uh-oh, another one of these)

I'd just like to thank everyone who has stuck with me this far. From my untidy grammar to my random uploading, i'd just like to take the time and thank you for sticking with this story.

It is again exam season so, I'm sorry for the out-of-schedule uploads.

I was thinking about entering this into the Watty's, meaning i have three days to finish and edit this book.

Challenge accepted :D

Love you all munchkins xxx



I woke up the day before Jye's birthday at home. Since telling him it was over, not much had happened. Ryan told me that he was gay a day before the Christmas holidays started and if anything, it made our friendship stronger.

The day i had arrived home, my mum saw the sad look in my eyes and simply hugged me. She didn't ask me about Jye-- not once-- although we did catch up on everything else.

Her and Steve had been going strong for the last couple of months and I really enjoyed having him around for a change. They seemed happy and i guess that left me content.

I met Nina and Nev at Nelly's an hour before lunch. I didn't realise how much i had missed them until i actually saw their faces. Ayden had planned a day out with the friends he made at NGH so he wasn't with us, but him and Nina still seemed to be quite happy.

I looked at Neveah and realised that her hair had grown a little longer. She wore it curled now but it really flattered her big eyes and small face. Nina had dyed her hair an ombre style, but i absolutely loved the look on her.

In just a year, so much had changed and we stayed at Nelly's just talking. We talked about all the new things that have happened to us, school, jobs and boys.

"So Ree, how's Jye?" Nina asked with a wink.

I couldn't help but just stare at her. I didn't say anything and instantly her face fell.

"Oh I'm so sorry darling, I didn't mean to bring it up..." She said, trailing off.

"It's fine, I didn't tell you guys so of course your going to ask,"

"What happened?" Neveah asked.

"Nev, don't ask that!" Nina whispered, slapping her on the knee.

I looked at them sadly, we were sitting in a booth- them on one side and me on the other.

"No, I should explain. But you have to promise me you won't think I'm crazy or weird..."

"Too late for that," Nina said, and we all laughed.

"Well I guess there's no going back then hey? The truth is... My boyfriend was a ghost."

They sat there, staring at me- jaws dropped. I took that as an opportunity to explain what the last year was like for Jye and I.

After I explained it all, I broke down into tears. I would never see Jye again.


Jye

There was nothing left for me to do when the holidays had started up again. Gray was gone and I had lost Ree, so things weren't so great for me.

There were some kids who stuck around for Christmas- the kids who didn't have parents or those who didn't have a ride home. I guess I was one of those kids. 

So i spent most of my pre-birthday lying in my room sleeping. It wasn't until three that i woke up, so i decided to visit Gray's mansion.

Looking around, i realised that Gray would have been very lonely living up here all by himself. He practically watched his family die, and although he had me... I just couldn't help but think he was very lonely. I never really did anything to appreciate him and i felt guilty about it.

"I'm sorry for everything I put you through Gray. I know if you were here you would have never let things between Ree and I get so... bad. I just... I need you Gray," I whispered, sitting down in a lounge chair and placing my head in my hands.

"Don't sit here moping to me, go and spend the rest of your life with that girl," i heard him say. It was almost as if i could hear his laugh, see his cheeky smile, knowing that there was something more to what he just told me.

I might not have imagined it but, that was motivation enough for me to appear right next to Ree.

After explaining to the girls what happened, they seemed to take a while to drink it all in. Nina was the first one to actually have a reaction. Once she saw my tears, she took my hand on the table and held it.

"Everything will be okay Ree. You've got us and we'll always be here."

I gave them both a sad smile and looked outside the window. I gasped as i saw Jye standing there, hands in his pockets and a wide smile on his face.

I'm sorry I didn't fall in love with you but, if we can't spend the day as lovers... can we at least be friends? A little birdy told me to spend the rest of my life with you. So will you, spend the rest of my life with me?

I heard his voice, but his mouth hadn't moved the entire time. I realised then that i still had the necklace he had given me. I found it in my dorm when I was packing, so i put it back on.

Holding the pendent, i smiled and thought, "there's no harm in just one day, is there? Hold on, i'll be one sec."

Sniffling my nose and wiping my tears, i looked at Nev and Nina.

"Would you two kill me if i bailed on you now?" I asked.

Nev said yes at the same time Nina said no.

I laughed, grabbed my bag and stood up.

"Thanks for today. We'll go shopping tomorrow, i promise," I said giving them hugs and running toward Jye.

I hugged him and he picked me up, twirling me around. When i let go of him, we were at Gray's mansion.

I guess it was a little awkward at first, but once we just accepted the fact we were friends, the tension died down and we spent the rest of the day talking, making jokes and just hanging out-- the way old friends did.

By the time the day had come to an end, i was teary eyed-- because i knew it was the last time i'd ever see Jye again.

JYE

I was so glad that Ree accepted my invititation, and when she ran up to hug me I almost kissed her. It was hard to remember that we weren't a couple anymore so i took her down to Gray's and we just chilled for the rest of the day.

I dropped her off home nearing midnight. Steve and her mum was asleep, so i took her to her room where she cried and said goodbye.

"I'm sorry things turned out the way they did Ree, but i'm sure I'll see you in another life or something... Just because i didn't fall in love with you, doesn't mean you'll never find someone who you deserve. In all honesty, i think you were too good for me... I don't want you to dwell on what was once us. What we had was sweet, and one day you will find someone better than me because you're beautiful and smart and probably one of the niceset people in the world. Live your life, and remember me as a good friend who only wanted the best for you. Sleep easy, and I promise that in no time you will find your knight in shining armour to stitch up the hole in your heart I so carelessly tore apart," I said, tucking her into bed.

I placed a soft kiss on her forehead and slowly walked out of the room.

But I could hear her as she sobbed herself to sleep, so i stayed in her room. I sat in a chair in the corner of the room.

I must've fell asleep somehow-- because the next day I woke up.

And I was human again.
