The Nerd And The Jock

Emily Waters

Hey guys! I am so sorry, for not updating in such a long time, I have no excuses. But, as promised there has been this one person who has read all of these chapters from the beginning and has commented and voted on every single chapter, so I would like you all to follow xCasxSx. She is a wonderful Wattpad friend and I would love it if you would follow her. Thank you xCasxSx.

Before I moved here I had a life. An ordinary one. It involved sleepovers, crushes and my best friends. Not much, but it meant the world to me.

"Hey you've reached Emily, if I didn't answer your call, then I'm sorry, but I obviously don't like you. If you have to, leave a message after the beep and I might just get back to you. Might. Bye!" Beep.
Emily Waters. Before I left we got into a car accident, and Emily didn't make it. I blame it on myself. If it wasn't for me, we would've never gone to that stupid party and we would have stayed home and watched 007 movies all night. But, of course, we went. It was on our way home, and I distracted Emily from driving. It was pitch black so we couldn't see anything beyond her car headlights. I showed her something on my phone, she looked down for just a second, but we didn't see the traffic lights ahead, and Emily didn't stop driving. I got lucky, a few scrapes here and there, but Emily had hit her head on the car window and didn't wake up. Her parents still haven't disabled her phone or her phone number, part of me is glad, I get to hear her voice, even if its just her voicemail. This is the only way to talk to her. I just hope she hears.
"Emily, i-i miss you s-so much. This time last year we were at that party. This time last year we got into that car accident, and this time last year you never woke up. I-its all my fault, if I just waited, showed you the picture on my phone later, when its safer, you'd be alive. I love you Emily -" I get cut of by the beep, saying that I've talked for too long. When I'm lonely I call her, even if its makes me more depressed. A knock on my door interrupts me. I quickly wipe away the tears that I have left and open the door, becoming face to face with my mom.
"Hey, I called you from downstairs, but I didn't think that you'd hear. Dinners ready." When she opened the door, the scent of food entered my nose and I could immediately guess what were having for dinner. Spaghetti Bolognese.
"Sorry mom, I was just talking to someone". I replied back, hesitant.
"Emily?" My mother said quietly, as if she had said it any louder I'd fall to the floor and sob. I probably would.
"Yeah..." I choke back a sob.
"Ella honey, Emily wouldn't want this. Emily wouldn't want you to suffer over this, especially for so long."
"I know that mom, I just, I miss her"
I wrap my arms around my moms waist and hug her, finally letting all the tears come out freely. My mom wraps her arm around me and pats my hair.
"What made you so emotional dear? Did something happen at school? Are they being nice to you?" When she mentions school and being nice in one sentence I had to choke back a laugh, it was quite opposite really. I wanted to tell mom about my school problems, but not yet, not right now.
"School is going fine Mom, nothing to worry about." I hate lying, but right now I need to. I faintly feel my mom nod her head and let go of me.
"Dinner will be going cold soon, lets go eat it now" I love my mom for many reasons, and one of them is the ability to drop things, and move on. I nod my head and together we walk down the stairs. We go into the dining room and eat our food. The pasta slides down my throat and into my stomach, where I'm still trying to hold in my pain. But, this pasta is delicious.

This chapter was a little sad, but it will get better. Remember to vote and comment and follow the account above that I recomended
