When I'm Gone

1. Coming Home

Miami

Its been almost 2 years since I left this school and now I'm going back. I left my old best friend and several other friends. I left my bullies, thank god. But I'm really scared of seeing Ten again. I miss him like no doubt about it.

Right now I'm in the limo watching a past interview asking me about school.

"Miami how do you feel about going back to school" the guy on the tv asked. I smile to myself as I see me on the screen. "Honestly it's a little scary considering it's been almost 2 years since I left" Tv me says.

I turn off the tv and pull out my phone. I then see a text from my manager.

Daniel: You have a show tomorrow night in there in Seattle.

Me: Thanks Danny.

Daniel: :)

I smile.

As we pull up to my old house, I see my dad come outside. I smile. I get out of the limo and run over to him. I picks me up and spins me around.

"I'm so happy your home" he says. I laugh as he puts me down. We grab my bags and take them into the house. "So we can take you to school now or you can start tomorrow. It's up to you" he says. I look upstairs.

"Give me a minute to change then we can go. I at least want to get registered" I say. He nods and goes into the kitchen. I go to my room.

I haven't been in this room for years. Covered in One Direction posters. I actually met them and it was amazing. I smile as I run my fingers along my dresser. I see many pictures of me and Ten. I honestly miss that kid to death.

I look over at my bed. "Hasn't been touched since you left." I know that voice. I turn around and see my big brother Alex. I run over and hug him tightly, trying not to cry. My brother left for the military right before I left for my tour.

I hear chuckling from my door. My dad is chuckling. I smile and hug them both.

A great start to coming home.

Ten

Today Miami starts at our school.

One, I'm hella nervous to see her again and two, Veronica has no idea I was ever best friends with her. Since I've never had Ronnie at my house, she had no idea.

"Class today a very special guest will be joining us. You all are going to have to settle down when she gets here" Ms. Rankins says. I breathe in and out slowly. Her phone rings and she answers it. "Yes sir.........send her down" she says then hangs up the phone.

Minutes have passed and my hands are clammy as hell and I'm kind of struggling to breathe. The door opens and in she walks.

It's Miami.

"OH MY GOD ITS MIAMI WINTERS" Veronica yells. I laugh at my girlfriend being adorable then focus on the beautiful girl in front of me. She looks absolutely stunning.

"Everyone meet Miami Winters. 2 time MTV Music Awards Winner and the lead role in the newest movie Varsity" Ms. Rnakins says, introducing Miami. "Please just call me Miami. I'm just a normal kid like all of you" she says. She smiles and my heart almost stops.

I never lost feelings for her.

Miami

At lunch I had several people coming up to me asking me for autographs and pictures. I loved coming back but the fans was a little bit of a struggle. I made 2 friends. There names are Katelynn Burgos and Joslynn Tyler. They were the only 2 that didn't freak out to bad when I walked into the room.

I was sitting with Kate and Jos when a boy who looks really familiar comes over. "OMG I'M SUCH A HUGE FAN" the girl next to him says. I smile. "Hi what's your name" I ask. "I'm Veronica and this is Ten" she says pointing to the boy next to her.

My heart just dropped.

"Hi Miami" he says. My heart is in my throat. I thought I was going to be sick. "You two know each other" Veronica asks. I swallow hard. "Used to" Ten says, not taking his eyes off of me. "I think I'm gonna be sick" I say.

I take off towards the bathroom as Kate and Joslynn follow after me. I run into a stall and puke everything I ate for breakfast and lunch up into the toilet. Kate grabs my hair and pulls it back. After throwing up, I lean against the wall and cry.

"What happened in there" Jos asks. "That's Ten. Tenathon Rivers" I say.

Both of there faces drop.

"YOU KNOW TEN" they both yell.
