Memories of Us (a Matthew Sherrill fanfic)

Too much drama

I picked up my phone, frustrated. 10 texts from Georgia, a girl who goes to my school.
'You're a bitch.'
'Ew why are you so ugly!'
'Go die, please.'
'No one would notice anyways.'
I put down my phone while reading the last message that said my mother deserves to die for having me.
I sat on my bed, just sitting there, crying.
Why does everyone hate me so much? I never did anything to them. All I hear in school is "Ew it's Nicole." I just wanna die.
I cried myself to sleep being thankful tomorrows the last day of school.

BEEP BEEP BEEP*
I shut off my alarm, my eyes still hurting from last night.
I got on black skinny jeans and a blue shirt. I straightened my long dark brown wavy hair. Lastly, I put mascara and a bit of eyeliner on my hazel eyes.
I started to walk to school.

Finally 9th period. I get to go home finally. I waited doing my homework when my best friend Audrey came up to me.
"I'm really gonna miss you." she said looking sad.
"I'm gonna miss you too, wanna walk home together? We can talk more on the way." I said packing up my stuff as the bell rings.

"Okay let's go!" I said closing my locker for the last time this year.
Audrey and I started to walk to my house.
"Wanna come in for a little while?" I asked since we were almost there. I live 4 blocks away from school.

"Sure." she said happily.
We approached my doorstep and I put in my key, unlocking the door. We walked up to my room.
"Why do you have to leave?" I asked.

"My mom got a stupid job so I have to move to New York." she said pissed off.

"But.. I'm gonna have no one.." I said starting to cry.

"I'm sure you'll make more friends." she said hopeful.

I doubt it.

"Maybe" I said as her phone rang.

"Hello? Oh.. Okay. Bye" she said quickly.

"Who was it?" I asked curiously.

"My mom. I have to go. Our plane is leaving soon."

"Oh.." was all I managed to say before breaking out in tears. Audrey hugged me.

We stood there hugging each other until she finally let go.

"I'm really gonna miss you." she said before walking outside into her mothers car crying.

I sat on my bed for the 3rd day in a row crying until I fell asleep.

I woke up at 5:00, which is when my mom usually gets home. I smelled food which indicated she was already home, cooking dinner. My mom is an incredible cook.

I walked downstairs hoping the food was done. Im starving!

"Mom?" I asked as she set out two plates.

"Oh I was just about to go to wake you up." She handed me a plate of mashed potatoes and steak, my favorite!

I quickly went to the dinner table and dug in, I haven't eaten all day.

"So, mom how was work?" I asked trying to break the silence.

"It was fine." She said as the phone rang.

"Hello?" she paused for about a minute.

"Well, I wouldn't mind. Ill ask Nicole after dinner and ill let you know."
I started to eat quickly because she'd literally only tell me after dinner.

She came back to the table and finished her food.

"Nicole." she said looking kind of excited.

"Yeah mom?" I asked eager to know what she was talking about on the phone.

"So, how would you feel about going with your aunt for the summer in Alabama? Since your cousin just went off to college and you already have some friends there she thought you might have fun this summer over there."

I thought for a moment. Well if I go to Alabama I can actually make friends and get away from all the drama. Audrey wouldn't be here this summer anyways, she was the only thing I had to look forward to. Hmmm. I do have some friends in Alabama..

"Umm.."
