stay

Chapter 89

The alarm sounded on my phone. I had fallen asleep in the large chair in the middle of the living room. I reached over and turned off the alarm telling me that I needed to start getting ready for the day.

I walked into my room and looked up into the mirror. I had wanted him so bad. I wanted nothing more than him. I had spent the last two months thinking of a guy who asked me to wait for him, but didn't even tell me that he was back.

I tried to reassure myself that maybe he had no access to his phone for another day, but deep down I knew that it wasn't true. A month from when he had sent me the watch. More than anything I felt pathetic. I had spent the entire day yesterday waiting for him to call or text me. I had gotten my hopes up too high.

I let out a deep breath and decided to not let this ruin the rest of my day. I was going to go to school like it was just another day. I pulled on some jeans and grabbed a long sleeved sweater from the drawer.

I left the house making sure to lock the door behind me. The thoughts of Logan were drowned out by the loud pounding of the music through my speakers. I made it to my lecture as the teacher was telling us all good morning.

"I was beginning to think you had too wild of a night." Hailey leaned over and whispered to me.

"Yeah, well last night didn't happen at all."

"Really? What happened?"

"I'll tell you everything after class." The next hour was filled with lecture and he broke us up into our groups to start the lab assignment. We kept our conversation low, but focused on the assignment. After the professor dismissed us Hailey was immediately next to me.

"What happened?" She asked as she stood by me as I put my books back into my bag.

"He never showed up." I threw my backpack over my shoulder.

"Really?" She said sympathetically

"I was at least expecting him to call or text me yesterday. I may be thinking too far into this whole thing. He may have just got caught up and had a really late flight."

"Maybe. Theresa, I know how excited you were to see him."

"It's only been over two months." I pathetically laughed.

"What is one more day? Who knows, maybe he got the days mixed up. Honestly, he probably has no idea what he did wrong."

"I know. I'm not angry. I'm just really... I don't know. All the missing him that I was avoiding has come flooding back to me in one hard bomb."

"I know, but you're strong. You can handle this. Have a good class." She said as we walked in front of my math class.

"You too." I tried to say as happily as I could.
