Don't Disappear

Chapter 16 (BMC & DEH)

Jenna-
"So whatcha want to do?" asked Christine after we left the park. We were sitting in my pastel magenta Toyota.

"I don't know, what do you want to do, Zoe??" Christine asked. Zoe wasn't acting like her self, she was starring out the window, being awfully quiet.

"Hmm, oh, I don't know," she stated acting less energetic.

"How about we watch a movie?" I suggested. "No, to cliche," replied Christine. "Wanna have a sleepover?? My parents are out of town on some business trip," Zoe stated. "Sounds good to me," Christine stated, I nodded my head calmly in agreement.

I pulled out of the parking lot. Christine turned on the radio and turned on our mixtape from last year, "Best Day Of My Life" started playing. I couldn't help but smile.

We drove for a bit. Lights from nearby houses and other buildings twinkled through the falling raindrops. Headlight flashed in my eyes as I stopped at a red light. I looked both ways. Out of nowhere the light turned green as "Teenagers" started blaring through the radio which scared the living spruce out of me. Sorry Evan.

Finally we arrived in front of the Murphy's house. I hopped out and grabbed my umbrella. I handed it to Christine and wrapped my sweatshirt around the sleeping Zoe. I picked her up and carried her inside.

I put her down on the leather black couch. I flipped the TV on to the news to catch up on musical celebrities, as Christine decided to make some cookies.

Christine grabbed the almost empty milk carton and sat it down on the coffee table. I opened the carton as Zoe opened her eyes. "Cookies and milk?" she asked.

"Yep," I stated. "He didn't finish the milk today??" asked Zoe. "Nope," Christine replied. She smiled lightly at that answer.

~Phone Rings~

"Ugh," Zoe stated getting up from her position on the couch to reach for her phone.

Zoe-
"Hello?" My mother asked from the other line.
"Oh, hey Mom," I yawned.
"Hey sweeties where's your sister,"
I silently panicked looking at my girlfriends.
"Umm," I thought. "Connie is with a friend,"
"Oh, well tell her we said "Hi" we miss you girls,"
I cringed at the wrong pronouns, I wish he would just tell them.
"Ok, will do, love you guys," I stated, before hanging up immediately from the awkwardness.

It triggered me.

Angrily and emotionally.

I got up leaving my girlfriends alone.

"I'll be right back," I stated my voice cracking a bit, I ran upstairs quickly shutting the bathroom door and locking it with a slam. I slid down the door, tears pooling down my face. That's when I got a great but horrible idea.

"Connor, why do you do this to me," I whispered to myself deciding it wouldn't be so bad. Even though he would kill me.

Author's Note-
HOIIIIIII!!!!!

*"Timmie-Flakes" starts playing in the background*

No? No. Oh. O h. Ok.

Welp anyways, sorry Teddy-Bears.

(Just accept the apologies because you're probably going to want to burn my house down later.)

*smiling at remembering horrible flashbacks*

So umm, do you guys like the cliffhangers??

Umm, ugh, why is my social awkwardness turned up to 100%??? Well anyways, have a good day/night, stay safe, and see ya in the futures Teddy-Bears, I'm out.
