Good Riddance

Chapter 13

I got out of the bus, when I saw John leaving. After everything we have been through, he still looked gorgeous, with the famous smirk of his, flashed on his face.  I heard Ginny calling me, but I didn't respond. I started running towards John, who was getting in his mother's silver, mini cooper clubman car.

“John” I started yelling, desperately, as he sat on the seat and closed the door.

John fortunately heard me, and immediately got out of the car, raising his eyebrow and putting his ‘what's wrong’ face.

“When are you leaving?” I asked him, fighting for a breath.

I heard his sign of relieve.

“Monday” He said and got back to the car, putting on his black ray-bans, giving me a grin.

I was watching him leaving in front of me. Why did I even ask him about his departure? Why did I even care? It was over!

I saw my mom rushing through the crowd, asking me what was wrong. I just put a fake smirk and didn't say anything. Or should have I? I got into my dad's black Chevrolet cruze, plugging my headphones.

I'm back to my city, without the guy I used to love. It is hard for me to see him without me; he is my missing part, well he was obviously not anymore. I still hear his voice in my head; I still feel his touch in my dreams. Oh cruel life of mine; Why do you do this to me? I'm forced to watch him leaving, when I still feel something for him. It is hard, it is just hard. How can imagine leaving without him?  His hugs, his kiss, his laugh, his everything!  

“Jennifer, are you and John ok?” I heard my mom's concerned voice.

“Mom, there isn't John and I anymore; we broke up; he…he is leaving on Monday mom;” I said with rasp, sad sounding voice.

“Where is he leaving?” she asked me as she turned around to see me.

“On the other side of the city.” I said and closed my eyes. “Please don't ask me anymore; it hurts me to talk about it” I said to her, and continued with my self-indulgence.

My phone rang, as soon as got home.

Erika!

“What is wrong with you? What were you and John doing together?” She started yelling, as soon as I

answered her call.

“Nothing; I just asked him when he was leaving.” I said, while I was stripping off my nail polish with my nails.

“Are you OK?” She asked me, with little uneasiness in her voice.

“I'm going to be, Erie” I said as a tear felt on my cheek. “It is too hard for me, try to understand. It is not that I wanted all this to happen to me” I added.

“As long as we have each other; we are going to be OK” She said.

I then asked her what was wrong with her.

“Nothing; Just Cameron being himself, pissed me off.” She said. “Never mind” she added.

I heard her little brother's voice trough the phone saying “I missed you sis”

“I got to go now. David is pain in the neck” she said. “Love you” she added and hanged.

I closed my eyes and laid on my cold bed. I hugged my green, puffy pillow and curled up in a bald.

Monday!

I suddenly opened my eyes. That was in three days. John is leaving in three days! I was thinking as I looked out of the window. It was dark. The leaves were falling by the night, fresh breeze. The full moon was shining on the dark sky. It was the only brightness in that whole blackness. I opened the window and looked at the moon. Three more days and there will be John no more.
