6 - The Play

My eyes fluttered open as the sun poured over my body. I was still in the woods. The yellow leaves were bright and shone in the morning sun. Dew hung on each spiderweb hanging from branches. The dry soil and leaf bed was soft and comforting. To my side, curled beside me was Fluffy, he stayed with me. I smiled and stroked a hand through his smooth fur. He stayed.

"Thanks Fluffy" I murmered. His ears twitched and a cute purr rumbled from him. He nuzzled my hand softly making me giggle. I groaned I still had school today. Yay me. My stomache rumbled as I began to think of bacon. Yum.

"Ugh. Class with Jake. Lovely." I sighed sarcastically and pain flashed through Fluffy's eyes.

"I've got to go get breakfast, see you around Fluffy" I ruffled his fur then stood on my feet. My legs stretched as I skipped to the house, I looked back, my hair flying around in the wind and I saw pure love in Fluffy's eyes. I waved before turning and running to the house. I got my mobile from my pocket and saw I had 3 new texts from earlier.

I'm really sorry Em. I didn't mean what I said - Jake

Em, please. I'm really sorry. I won't be in school but I'll do the projects after you finish if you want - Jake

I don't think we should be friends. Sorry, it's not you, it's me - Jake

Yeah right. Sure Jake. We were never friends anyway? I decided not to reply, there's no point. Why won't he be in school anyway? Talk about lazy!

OK. It's now Sunday. Jake hasn't turned up to school for the whole week. We even have our drama play due tomorrow! It seems I'm going to be doing it alone. We still have a week to do the Science project but seriously. He said he would do the project! Whilst he was gone, his and my paintings from art got put up on the wall being the 'winners'. I'm very proud might I add. Feels good. Oh, Brittany 'fell' down the stairs and went to hospital. OK OK, I might've given her a light push of encouragement. OK. I pushed her down the stairs. She was tormenting me about Jake, she knows I like him.

I haven't actually seen Fluffy lately either which is quite depressing. I love talking to him. He's comforting. But nope, he seems to have dissapeared. I am currently sat in my room, home alone, with denim shorts and a oversized white t-shirt on. My phone beeped making me jump slightly.

Jake.

Hey. Um. Sorry about everything, I've been busy with family buisness. Do you think you can write the script and I'll just read it tomorrow? ;) - Jake

Why say you're sorry when you know your never sorry, everytime you say it you just hurt me again - Emmy

I know and I shouldn't, I just..have a past I don't like to dicuss...I also have expectations from other people you know... - Jake

What do you mean? - Emmy

I wasn't always like this Em. I had a good family. A life. Now I just screw up over and over again. I stay with the popular crowd because I used to be bullied - Jake

Sorry, I didn't know :L - Emmy

My parents were murdered and I lost my mind. I went crazy and everyone thought I was a freak - Jake

Please forgive me for what I said Em - Jake

Okay but just...don't hurt me again. Please? - Emmy

I promise x - Jake

I melted. He sent me a kiss! part of me felt bad for him; his parents were murdered. I knew what it partly felt like. It's so painful. I wonder why he told me all of this anyway? I'm nothing special. I sar down at my desk, grabbed a pencil and began to write a script for tomorrows play. I decided to get on with it and not argue; tomorrow was his birthday after all. Sweet 16.
