"Now You're Gone, I realised My Love For You Was Strong, And I Miss You Here, Now You're Gone"


My phone started ringing loudly. Who could it be at this time???
It was 6am on a Friday morning.
Looked around, mooching to find my phone amongst my warm black duvet. Please make this horrible noise go away, it's too early to be awake yet.

After 2 minutes of enduring Basshunter at full volume, a sweet, soft silence filled the four, poster covered walls of my bedroom.

I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Damn whoever it was that called me, now i can't get back to sleep. Oh well, I guess I needed to start getting ready for my last day of school anyway.

I sigh deeply at the thought of leaving my best friends, my beloved house, even the school... Actually no, saying my school is going a bit TOO far.

I stumble out of bed and manage to get to my en-suite (extra reason why i love my room).
20 minutes later I emerge from the steamy room, raven black hair dripping over my face.
I dry my hair and straighten it, apply my jet black eyeliner and walk to my wardrobe.
So many clothes yet I always stick with the same style of things. Skinnys, my precious vans, and a band shirt.

"This is something i will need to change fersure" I say aloud to my reflection. "It will be a new school. I need to ditch the old dark Taylor look and bring in a new colourful Taylor. I will make new friends and I WILL NOT look back at this old pathetic life"

I throw on my tight black skinnies, my favourite Hello Kitty shirtt, my pink converse and decorate my over-backcombed hair with a small pink bow.

"Perfect" I say to myself as I admire the rather gorgeous the person looking back at me. She looks happy but behind her bright blue eyes, there is an inner sadness.

"Move away from the mirror before you break it," I turn away and see my dad standing in my doorway with a massive smile on his face.

"Are you finally ready to go or what? It may be your last day but that doesn't mean you can be late. I'm sure your friends will want to spend every minute they can with you" He says, a smile wide on his face. With that I grab my bag and follow him to the car.

As we pull up to the school gates, I say goodbye to my dad.

"Right, I'll pick you up here at the end of the day, then we can go straight to B&Q to get your paint for your room and start on the house straight away, okay?" He asks with a slight sound of reassurance and excitment in his voice.

"Sounds great dad, c'ya later" I rush, preoccupied with my impatient friends waiting at the gates.

I run down the locker filled corridors, heading towards the music room. Our room. I swing the door open to see 3 dark figures huddled around a tall lad sat at a drumkit.

"Hey guys" I yell at them.

They all turn around to face me but before I have chance to say anything else, a girl with short blonde hair runs at me, knocking me to the floor.

"Woahh Amy, chillax. You can't have missed me that much after one day!!" I say laughing.

"Well its the last time I'm going to see you for a while.... I'm going to miss you." Replies Amy.
I stand and look at her for a few minutes. She's gorgeous. Every lad in school fancies her. Short choppy blonde hair, flawless skin, perfect makeup, skinny; need I say more?

After the minutes of silence I realise that Jake was talking to me. Normally I can't keep my eyes off him but today was different. I was going to never see him again. I was going to lose the best friend I ever had and the crush I never had the guts to confess my feelings to.

".... so anyways, i reckon that we should throw a party for you, a proper goodbye. Drinks, pizza, maybe a movie. A great Friday night and an ace way of celebrating the last 4 hours of friendship,"

I interupt, before he makes me feel any worse.

"I can't Jake. Dad's picking me up from school to take me to the new house. He's moving the stuff in now so we can start on decorating straightaway"

I see Jake, Amy, Jase and Scott's faces scrunch up with disappointment as the words leave my mouth. Before anything else is said, the bell for 1st lesson echoed through the room.

Maths, Biology, Music, Art and English; what a great set of lessons to end my final day in London on.

The first three lessons flew past like a blur, so did break and lunch. Art was the normal gossip lesson with Amy, chatting about how much she fancied Jase, how lucky I was getting away from the city and something that hit a nerve... How earlier that morning, Jake had said that he liked me.

"He really wanted you to come for that get together. He has known you forever and he's liked you for so long, this was going to be the night he was going to tell you how he felt before you moved and it would be too late..."

"No. No. No. No. NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" I had to make her stop saying these things.

I felt bad enough for leaving but with Amy saying these things, I just couldn't take it.

It wasn't my fault that we were moving; Dad had got a new job and after the accident, he thought it would be nice to get away from the house and make a new start.

He had been visiting Bristol a lot lately, at least 3 days a week after work. He said he was going on business trips but something didn't sound right when he used these excuses. He sounded too happy.

One night when he went out on a "business trip" he left his mobile at home. I looked through it looking for answers and I sure got them. "Dinner with Rose" the one entry read on his calendar. It wasn't til the other week that I found out that we were not only moving house, but SHE was moving in.

I haven't even met her yet and Dad expects me to get along with her. I guess she'll be okay, I just need to get to know her. She will NEVER by my mother though, she can try all she likes.

No point in thinking about Dad and Rose now though, I'm in a lesson and I need to concentrate.

The rest of art went in a flash and before I knew it, I was in english sat next to Jake. Normally, I would be the first person in the room, and not want the lesson to end. But today, I felt sick. I didn't want to smell his aftershave, or talk about random small things that put a ridiculous smile on my face. I wanted out of there.

It was impossible to ignore him though. Looking up from my work book, I kept catching him looking at me, smiling such a soft smile that would melt the heart of 99% of girls at our school.

Before I knew it, we was back to our usual selves.

We were just chatting about what my school will be like and how I had best invite him to the new house but it was so hard to concentrate on what he was saying thanks to Amy.

Did Jake really like me? I wonder if he found out that I liked him? So many questions in my head, but why did all this decide to rise up when I was about to leave??

I finally got brought back to Earth by Mr Dolland asking me and Jake to read the first meeting scene of Romeo and Juliet.

"If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss"

Somehow I found myself looking at Jake. He did look pretty hot in his black skinnies and his green Enter Shikari shirt. His blonde and brown hair perfectly styled, the colours bringing out the deep chocolate brown of his eyes. What was going on? I can't start feeling like this. Even if we did go out, it would be too far to have a good relationship and what if we broke up, nothing would ever be the same.

Finally the bell rang for the end of the day. I managed to escape reading my verse of Juliet not to mention the look in his soft brown eyes.

I ran out of the classroom and met up with the others. Scott looked uncomfortable as he watched Amy and Jase kiss.

"Well this is new" I say as I walk up to Scott

"You know! This is what I had to put up with all of last lesson. It sucks! Fancy kissing me too so I don't feel left out?"

Before I could answer, and obviously turn him down, I feel a deep, heavy breath on my neck. A wheezing sound echoing through my ears.

I turn around to face none other than Jake.

"How ..... Fast... Do ..... You want... To... Run?!?" I can't help but laugh as I watch him struggle to catch his breath, turning a shade of purple each word he spoke.

Just as he says this Dad pulls up. I sigh loudly as I say goodbye to the lads. I face Amy, teary eyed. How hard it was to say goodbye someone I had known from birth. Managing to crack a smile, I tell her to behave herself with Jase. It's amazing how I can turn the sadest of moments into a joke.

"I promise I'll come to visit! I really will miss you all" and with that I get into Dads old black Ford. Driving away from the gates of The Abby High School. Driving away from my life and away into the traffic filled motorway to Bristol....
