Without You Here - Sequel to Stay Near, Jai Waetford fan-fic

Chapter 19 - One new friend

My first class today was science. I hated it. Let's just say I hate everything to do with school. Everything, and now I didn't even have friends here. I just want to be with Liv and Georgia again, they were real friends. I take a seat at the back bench, that's a habit of mine, always being at the back, then I wasn't in the way or was easily noticed. I really didn't want anyone to sit next to me because I wasn't up for any discussions or group work but the whole class fills all the seats, so someone will.

Today we aren't doing prac, just theory, therefore I might be able to get away with listening to my music instead of the teacher. I put them in and I can soon hear nothing but the sound of my rock'n'roll and screamo. I see a shadow sit next to me but I'm not bothered to look who it is. I rest my head on the desk and close my eyes. I think about Jai and wonder when the next time I am going to see him is going to be. I feel a tear roll down my face and land on the desk. I open my eyes and a few more escape. I then get a tap on my shoulder. Startled, I sit up and look at the guy sitting next to me with a worried face. I take my ear phones out.

"Uh, yeah?" I ask, possibly sounding a bit ruder then intended.

"Um, are you okay?" He asks. I don't reply for a few seconds because I am too busy taking in his beautiful, side swept black hair and ocean blue eyes.

"Yeah, I'm perfectly fine." I lie. I wasn't just crying about Jai, but the fact of my dad, plus all my friends hate me.

"You don't look fine." He tilts his head sideways.

"I am." I lie once again.

"Look, my names Aaron." He introduces.

"I'm Charlie." I smile, he seems really nice.

"So, something seems to be bothering you." He points out the obvious and I make a small chuckle.

"I guess so." I admit.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asks but I don't reply. "Do you have anyone you could talk about it too?" He says and I simply shake my head.

"Then talk to me, after science, at recess." He reassures.

"Why are you being so nice to me? You only just met me and you don't know me." I say, yep that sounded rude.

"Well, I'm sorry for being nice." He raises his eyebrows.

"Ugh, sorry, I'm just really pissed off at everything at the moment." I say and he nods then wipes away a tear that had just run free.

"Aaron, what is the answer?" We both get snapped out of our trance of the teacher looking pretty mad staring straight at Aaron, expecting a reply.

"Uh..." He says unsure.

"That's what I thought, now can someone else who was actually listening tell me the answer?" She directs to someone else.

"I'm so sorry." I say.

"It wasn't your fault, don't worry about it." He laughs and I throw a small smile.

Soon after a boring science lesson the bell went for recess.

"Finally." I heard Aaron say and we both packed our books up and raced out of the science lab.

"Ok, so tell me whats on your mind." He says and we sit on a spot of grass on the oval away from everyone.

"Do you want to know everything?" I ask. "Cause there's a lot." I laugh.

"Yep, cause I'm assuming you haven't told anyone else and are dying to let it out." He guesses.

"Basically." I agree and then begin.

"Well, about 3 months ago I went for a holiday on an island where I met Jai Waetford, and this was before he was on X-Factor and all, and then we started going out. And then we had to leave each other to leave the island, then my phone broke so I had no way of contacting him. Then my dad passed away-"

"Wait what!? Your dad?" He asks and I nod, attempting my best not to cry again, then I continue.

"And then I went to one of Jai's shows and met him there again, then I met 2 of his back up dancers, which I now consider my best friends, but they don't live anywhere near here, then Trisha, who used to be my best friend, admitted that she didn't like Jai before he became more noticed and only wanted to meet him cause of his fame, so I said no and Jai thanked me for that, so now all my friends hate me too." I finish then take a gulp of air.

"Your quite strong." He puts his arm around me giving me a hug.

"Well it takes all of my power not to cry at times." I admit.

"It's ok to cry." He says and then I let a single tear leave my eye but he wipes it away with his thumb.

"I know." I say then burst into tears into his chest. I'm so glad I have a friend right now.
