Highschool (On Hold)

5: This aint' good

Don't hate me ok? I know I haven't updated in FOREVER, but I finally am, so yeah. Things have been really busy lately and I am really sorry that I haven't gotten to this sooner!

I will try to make it up by updating more actively than before, though I don't know if that will be possible during this time period because of how hectic my days have been. But I do promise you that chapters wont be left for this long anymore.

This is only going to be a bit of a filler chappie. I don't think that there is going to be too much excitement until the next couple.

Because, believe me when I say, there will be drama in the next two chapters, if not in this one.

(Julia's P.O.V)

That night, I couldn't sleep. I was tossing and turning and I didn't know if to lie on my back, stomach, or side. I think about half-way through the night I figured out why I couldn't sleep. It was the constant worry that my Mom will have a bout of incompetence and come crying to me, saying she needs me and she can't go on without me in her life.

I, of course, would give in. She always had a way to make me feel worthless and like I wasn't giving my own Mother the respect she merited, which in fact was none.

I knew, at this rate, I wasn't going to get any sleep. So I wrapped my comforter around me and walked out into the living room.

There, sitting on the couch, was Drew, thinking extremely hard about something. You could tell by the way his eyebrows were furrowed and the look that indicated, at any moment his head might explode.

“My head isn't going to explode Julie,” he smirked. I can not believe I said that out loud! I feel like such an idiot right now.

“And your not an idiot.”

My hand flew to my mouth to cover it from saying anything else remotely awkward. A glimmer of humour rested in his eyes as he burst out laughing.

“You didn't say that out loud,” he laughed, “I just can tell what your feeling and thinking,” he whispered. Just by the sound of those words, my heart race quickened and I knew, if I looked in the mirror, I'd have one of those 'deer in headlights' looks on my face.

He motioned for me to come and sit next to him. I was to embarrassed to say no and now I felt extremely stupid for taking him up on that offer.

He pulled me close, wrapping his arms around me. I stiffened at what he was doing but then relaxed. “What are you doing,” I whispered.

“You looked like you needed a hug.” He stated simply. “And you also looked like you were scared out of hell at something. Do you want to talk about it?”

I shook my head.

“Ok, but if you ever do, I'm right down that hall.” I nodded my head in thanks, snuggling closer to him before I knew what I was doing.

“Oh my God, I'm so sorry,” I yelled, jumping back. “It's been a while since someone's hugged me.”

“What about your friends? They seem pretty supportive.” He asked, confused.

“Hayley's Mom is exactly like my Mom and anything I told Hayley would eventually get back to my dear Mother some way, some how and Gram's not much of a hugger.”
