The Space Between Us

I see him (6)

Monday came too soon. Luke was right. I did see him. I was skateboarding when I saw a commotion. I saw him standing near his car, girls swarming like bees. I passed him without looking, but that didn't last for long. Like the stupid, naive, and idiot girl I am; I looked back. My green eyes collided with his blue and green eye. I totally forgot about those eyes. I was still staring when I ran into someone and fell on my butt. I see Luke rushing over. I try my best to get up, but then I trip over my feet.

"Hey are you ok Muffin? He ask giving me his hand.

I stand back up rejecting his hand. I start skateboarding away. I swear I him mumble proud under his breath, but maybe that was someone else.

I keep skateboarding, he called me Muffin; he-called-me-Muffin. That's when the tears start. I couldn't hold them in. He's here. He called me Muffin. For some reason I want to run in his arms again. I want to just cry in his arms. I get my sleeves and dry my tears. No more crying; no more crying Isabella. I give myself a little prep talk before I walk into Ms. Mills class. I'm sitting there when Luke walks in. He sits in the front row and starts looking at everyone. He spots me and I see him get up walking up. I can't handle this. I run down the stairs and go to the girls restroom. There I puke my guts out. 

"Muffin I know that's you in there? What wrong?" Luke ask.

I open the door and try to get away from him.

"YOU! YOU are what's wrong with me!" I say shoving him.

He looks at me with shock. I just used his own words against him! I walk around the corner. I look back and I see him walk into class. I decide to go home. At lunch time Peyton calls me. I tell her about the disaster. I then hang up. The line dead. I put my phone on charge and I snuggle against the covers. Soon I fall asleep.

"You think she'll be ok?" I hear Joe's voice.

"I'm afraid she's going to kill us before we'll find out" Noah says.

I open my eyes. I smile slightly. They all give me a hug. Bullet is licking my face, Rhino is asleep between my legs, and Oliver is asleep on my face.

"Why wouldn't you tell me?" I ask.

"We didn't want to ruin your year at college." Peyton says.

"So by keeping it a secret it is making this situation better?"

"We're sorry."

A knock on the door makes Alex run downstairs. He comes up a moment later. Luke behind him. I just stare.

"Get him out of here!" I yell

"Muffin-"

"I said get him out of here!" I demand.

Luke puts his hands up in surrender, and walks out all alone. Some reason though I want him to hug me. To come back and tell me he loves me one more time. Why do I want him back? I know why.

I still love him...
