The Stranger ( Nash Grier fan fiction)

Chapter 23

Kayla's point of view:
Still don't know how long it's been, all I know is that in two weeks I'm going home finally. I've missed my grandma, she's such a sweet and kind lady. Very fragile yet very tough. She's been through a lot considering that my grandpa passed away on their anniversary.

Schools been interesting. I can't go one day without a girl asking me about Nash. Honestly I've tried so hard to forget, I just think that's the best way to go. It's just not healthy to be this sad, I'm 15. I shouldn't be this torn about a boy. Usually, I'm fine with this kind of things. Honestly because I've never really had a boyfriend. Well, I guess technically me and Nash were never even dating. How could I miss him so much and I didn't even call him "my boyfriend". It just baffles me, it doesn't make any sense. But I try not to think about it.

I finally pulled myself off my bed. I needed to clear my mind. I walked to my dresser and got on running leggings and a tee shirt. I walked to the front door and pulled on my sneakers and called for Jay. Of course she came running up and jumped on me almost knocking me over. I hooked her chain to her collar and led her to the lobby. I waved to Mr. Smith, the apartment manager who I had got quite aquatinted to because of all the times I've picked up the mail, I led Jay to the park and once I got there I unhooked her chain and let her play with the other dogs. I sat down on a bench near a tree, for winter fast approaching New York seemed to be pretty warm. I was scrolling through my phone when I felt the bench get heavier. I looked up and it was a boy that looked my age. He had blonde hair that laid flat until the end where it was spiked. He had a pretty good body and a killer smile. " Do you mind if I sit?" he asked. "No, it's fine" I said while trying not to stare. We made small talk and I found out that he went to a school near mine and he was one year ahead of me.

Eventually Jay came over to me telling me it was time to go. "Well, I'll see you later" he said after I told him goodbye. I stood up to go and Jay was sniffing his feet and mid-calf when she burst out barking and snarling. I dragged her off of him and fled the park totally embarrassed. As I walked him I wondered what had gotten into her. She's never done that to a person before, ever! It's was so not like her.

When I walked through the lobby door Mr.Smith already had my mail set out for me to pick up. It was kinda a routine me and him had. I walked up stairs and into my house. I let Jay off her chain and she ran straight to my room. I stood in the doorway for a minute while trying to get my shoes off. Finally I walked to my room and laid on my bed. I rolled over and was facing my night stand. I stared at my picture of Rielle, Matt, Nash, and I while all the memories came flooding back. Tears started to form in my eyes and I didn't hold them back this time. I wasn't strong enough too, on person. An only go through so much pain before they are completely broken. I rolled on my other side trying to stop the memories but my fingers kept tracing over my locket. My mind was mocking me, I knew I had the picture of me and Nash but I also knew that if I saw it I would cry even more. By not looking at the picture I could be strong. Still tracing over he locket I finally gave into the temptation. Once my eyes landed on the picture I couldn't stop balling, it was too much for me and I knew it. I cried for the rest of the night, only stopping my sobbing to come out for dinner. I'm pretty sure my parents and sister are already used to listening to crying twenty-four seven, yet they're probably tired of it too. Once I was back in my room I took my necklace off and sat in my chair, I faced the window and let the lights transport me into happy thoughts. I soon drifted into a heavy sleep.
