It's Complicated

Chapter 19

Blah. It's monday. The worst day of them all.

I rubbed my tired eyes, and practically pride myself off my bed. Walking into the bathroom, I looked at myself in my mirror. I looked like a hobo.

The warm water of the shower felt good on my cold skin. It was literally FREEZING last night. I woke up like 10 times just to get warm. Hopefully, today will be a good day.

After my shower, I threw on some sweats and an old t-shirt. I wasn't really planning on doing anything, so I might as well get comfy. When I got downstairs, I was greeted by my grandma, but surprisingly my grandpa wasn't there.

"Morning" I croaked. That's odd. I can't be getting sick.. I feel fine! My grandma furrowed her eyebrows as she walked up to me. She placed a hand on my forehead, then to my cheeks.

"Page are you feeling ok? Your burning up" she spoke, as she continually felt around my face.

"I feel fine" I said with clear boredom in my voice. My grandma got the thermometer and took my temperature. The thermometer read 102 degrees.

"Page, why don't you just rest today. You might be coming down with something" she said, grabbing a warm blanket and laying me down on the couch. When I was all comfortable, my grandma came back with a bunch of Disney movies. Oh my gosh. I got up from my comfortable trance, and looked through all of them. I decided to watch Toy Story, since that was the only good one.

My grandma left, so I put the disk in the DVR thing. To bad they don't have netflix. Shortly after, my grandma came back with a bowl of chocolate ice cream, some chicken noodle soup, and a cup of tea. She also handed me the phone and mouthed 'it's for you'

"Hello?" I was barely able to speak. Man, this is bad.

"Page? Are you alright? Grandma called me and told me you weren't feeling to good." I heard my mom speak.

Wait.. Mom? Why the hell is she calling me. I thought they didn't care about me anymore cause she didn't talk to me at all ever since I left. I mean, yeah we texted each other a few times but that was just simple things like "where's your hair accessories? I need one" and then I'd have to explain to her where exactly it is.

"Mom?" I was literally speechless.

"Yea?" She asked. Oh, she must of thought I was asking her a question.

"Nothing. And um yea I'm fine. Thanks for caring. Why didn't you ever call me after I left" it was my turn now to ask questions. I'm seriously so confused right now.

"Because I know what your going through. Knowing a teenagers mind, when they need space, they need space. I knew to let you be. I was hoping maybe you would call us, but you didn't so I supposed you still wanted to be left alone" she said through the line. Well now that you put it that way, it makes sense.

"Oh. Ok well I have to go bye" I hung up the phone in a flash. That was the most awkward thing.

Seeing my ice cream starting to melt, I grabbed it and scarfed it down like a pig. This is going to be a long day.

Later that night, I went up to my room and started playing some music. I wasn't really in the mood for dinner, so I decided to skip it. It's so quiet around here. I'm debating whether I should go back or not. Suddenly, I got a phone call. Oh great. It's Austin. Just what I need.

~ phone convo ~ p = page & a = austin

P: hello?

A: page?

P: that's my name..

A: where have you been?

P: I'm at my grandparents

A : why? I thought maybe we could go out for lunch sometime

P: I'm sorry Austin, but I don't really have time for that right now. Besides, I kinda like somebody else right now..

A: it's Tyler isn't it.. I know it is.

P: um..

A: listen, I don't know what you two have going on, but I hope you know he's a player. He cheats girls just to get in their pants. When he accomplishes that, he just leaves them. Gone. Forever. I'm not trying to break your heart, but if you guys are happy together good for you. I'm just trying to protect you. Do the right thing.

P: austin it's complicated.. You wouldn't understand

A: yes I would.

P: no

A: yes

P: no

A: yes

P: ye- ok you know what.. I'm done. Bye Austin.

A: wh-

~ end of convo ~

I ended the conversation quicklier than I should have. That was just so awkward. Who does he think he is, bossing me around about how my life should be!?

I just know one things for sure now.. And theirs no doubt about it.

I'm in love with Tyler Waters

Ok so I TRIED to make this chapter long. Don't judge me, it's actually kind of hard. Anywho, it's really late & I should go to sleep. I love you all (:
