The Space Between Us

WHAT?! (20)

I sit there, my mouth like a fish."WHAT?!" I scream. I start crying immediately. Peyton runs to me and gives me a hug. "W-where t-o-o?" I whisper. She looks at me and sighs a big loud sigh. "Montana. I'm leaving tonight."

I start sobbing even harder than before. "You can't just leave me." I say. She starts crying all over again her fresh tears mixing with her old tears. Everyone looks at us. "What about Joe?" I ask. She looks at me and looks at Joe, "we have decided to take a break, for a little while." She says. Joe comes over and gives her a hug, she hugs him and for once I see Joe cry. "No matter what baby, I'm here for you." He whispers and he leans in. They swap spit and suck each other faces off. I turn away and look at the ground. Luke used to do that. Luke would've said that to me. That should be you and Luke. For that one minute I forget everyone, except Luke. I remember dancing in the bowl. I wonder if those words are still there? I look back up to see everyone sucking faces. Poor Emma is standing there. I scoop her up and take her outside. "Cam we goo to icecweam?" She ask. I laugh and shake my head 'yes.' I buckle  her up and go to the ice cream/candy store in town. She runs inside; her eyes getting bigger as we go through the store. We get to the back, where those make your own dust candy machine is. I give her a big tube and she gets Cherry, blueberry, lime, and Strawberry. She then runs off to get a lollipop.

I'm getting Twix and some mint chocolate chip ice cream when I run into a human wall. I look up and of fudging course it's Luke...I turn my head and try to walk away, but instead he grabs my wrist. "How are you?" He ask with a small smile. I roll my eyes and mumble 'good' he smiles again and then a frown forms. He keeps staring behind me so I turn around and there Emma stands tears slipping  from her eyes. He goes past me and crouches down to Emma. "Hi chickadee." She looks at him and pushes him away and runs toward me. I put her in my arms and she hugs me. "Your ok," I whisper. He walks over to us and kisses her cheek. 

She removes her head from my neck, looks him right in the eyes and wipes his kiss off her cheek. "I don't like you Lucas." She says. He looks pained but he says nothing. He gives a little wave and walks off. She watches him leave and cries even harder. I give her a little kiss right where Luke put a kiss. She doesn't wipe it off, instead she touches it and gives a small smile. I see Luke watch. So he never left. He gives a small smile and walks off. I don't feel bad at all that I took his sister. He is the one who left. It's not your fault, but I cry anyways. Is it me? I mean my dad left. Maybe it is me. I cry even more. I can't even see straight.  I'm crying so much I don't even notice Emma has left my arms. I feel someone wrap there arms around me, but I don't care, I'm too busy crying. 

My knees buckle and that person who had their arms wrapped around me catches me. "It's okay, just cry." It's Peyton

A/N: Hey guys I'm sorry I haven't been updating recently. For some reason my Wattpad only works at school, and not at home. So be prepared for small updates unless by a miracle it starts to work. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. I do hope however you had a good Easter❣️.

I look at her. Her smile. The way her hair flows over her shoulder. This girl has been my best friend. We've spent years together. Now she is leaving just like that. Away to some place. She's not only leaving me, she's leaving Joe.

In the end I don't know why or who I'm crying for. I mean I'm crying because of Lucas, but also because I won't have my friend with me. No more us against the world. No more Lucas to help with the tears. It's me again. All alone. It feels like another breakup. Peyton keeps her arms around me. "Where's E-emma?" I sniffle. Peyton looks at me wipes my tears and tells me Venus took her. Again I start crying the memories flooding back. Peyton keeps me in her arms. And together we sit in the floor. I'm crying and she's just holding me. I dry up my tears. "I'm happy for you. I really am." she looks at me and I know she knows the truth.

Although it takes everything in me not to bawl like a 3 year old, I help her pack up. I'm also the one that insist on driving her to the airport. "promise to call everyday?" I say holding out my pinky.

"Promise," she says squeezing my pinky and then hugging me. I back away giving Joe some time alone. I see the tears in their eyes. I don't know who hurts worse. She gives a small wave and just like that she's gone.

A/N: SO I KNOW I HAVENT BEEN ON HERE FOR A LONG TIME, BUT THAT IS BECAUSE ITS BEEN SUPER BUSY. IT IS CURRENTLY 1:25 A.M AND IM SITTING IN MY MOMS HOSPITAL CHAIR AT HER WORK. IM SORRY THIS IS A SMALL UPDATE, BUT I PROMISE I WILL BE BACK, JUST PLEASE BE PATIENT. ALSO MY GRANDPA IS IN THE HOSPITAL (4 FLOORS ABOVE ME) SO PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM, LOVE YOU GUYS. BE BACK SOON.
