I don't know why I keep updating so late lol! But yeah guys here goes the 6th chapter! I'm gonna try to start updating earlier so I can possibly update twice a day. Oh and just to clarify this where they are from is prounounced Tap-uh-ha-nnick Virginia. Ok now time for the chapter.
Chris' POV:
Saraih has been acting weird as hell lately. It has been two weeks and she just hasn't been acting like herself. She hasn't been answering any of my calls or texts and everyday at lunch she would come to the lunch room sit there quiet and then just get up and leave after 15 minutes. We had every class together and each class I would try and see if she had went back to normal but she never did. She would always make goofy faces at me from across the room and smile at me but now she just stared at the board not looking anywhere else. She hasn't even been talking to Kierra.
Is it me? Does she not like me anymore?
I cleared my thoughts and got up from my kitchen table grabbing my car keys,bookbag and phone. I got in my car and began to drive to school.
When I got there I saw Saraih getting out of her car. i hurried up and got out of the car to so I could catch up with her. I met her at her locker.
"Hey Saraih" I said
"Hey" She said kind of quiet. She didn't even have that same bright smile.
"So...wassup?" I said trying to start a conversation
"Um...nothing much but im gonna uh get to class..." She said closing her locker and walking to first hour
I sighed and went to my locker to get my stuff. Once I got everything I needed I looked at the clock seeing that I had 3 minutes to get to class and start walking.
Saraih's POV:
Ever since that night my parents said they were getting a divorce things just haven't been the same. My dad only came back to sign the divorce papers and to get his stuff. Of coarse it was while my mom was at work. Before he left he told me how much he loved me and that the divorce had nothing to with me. He said it as if I would never see him again and the truth is I didn't even know if I would. He told me to stay strong and to keep my guard up at all times then left. Now all my mom does is have emotional mood swings and take it out on me. I hope my mom set up something where i could see my dad every weekend because I didn't want him to completely be out of my life. I haven't cried since that day because I'm not really a cryer and because of that I guess I just shut people out. But that's how I was taught. Crying doesn't solve anything so.
Chris has been trying to talk to me this whole time and so has Kierra I just don't really know how to feel. I don't want to tell them though because I don't want them to worry about me but I have a good feeling that they already are.
I sat in first hour bored and tapping my pencil on my desk when I saw Chris looking at me. we made eye contact for a split second and then I looked away and looked down at my desk.
I honestly missed Chris. I missed him making me laugh and smile and being on the phone with him but I couldn't talk to him because I knew he would ask what was wrong with me.

It was finally time for lunch and I walked into the cafeteria and sat next to Kierra and across from Chris.
"Hey girl" Kierra said hugging me
"Hey..." I said quietly
Chris just stared at me with what looked like sympathy in his eyes and I got up and left the cafeteria. I didn't want him to feel bad for me.
Chris' POV:
"Just follow her Chris. Whatever's wrong, she probably needs someone and it seems like you would be the best person" Kierra said after Saraih had gotten up and left.
I nodded and got up to go look for Saraih.
When I got into the hallway I saw her walking into a stairway by the cafeteria.
After she walked in I followed her.
She was sitting on the steps.
"Saraih" I said
She looked up and then start looking everywhere but me.
"Saraih...what's wrong please just tell me. Is it me?"
She looked up at me and sighed "No Chris it's not you." She answered
"Then what is it? I miss the real you Saraih." I said looking in her eyes
"I don't want to tell you Chris...I don't need you feeling bad for me and worrying about me" She said looking down
"I already worry about you Saraih." I told her
There was an awkward silence.
"My parents...got a divorce. I know it's not a big deal but it's hurting" She said now looking up at me.
I saw tears in her eyes and I could tell she was holding them back.
"Saraih anything that hurts you is a big deal." i said still looking at her
"I'm sorry Chris" she said
"You have nothing to be sorry for." I responded
She looked over to the side at the wall
"Saraih" I said
"Hm?" She said shakily
"Let it out" I told her
It was silent until I heard her sniff. She looked at me and tears were slowly streaming down her face. She began to quickly wipe them until I grabbed her hands.
"It's ok to cry" I said looking into her eyes
I pulled her to me and she hugged me crying into my shirt. I just stood there and held her.
