Reason to Live

Untitled Part 4

(this is Arial dream)

I woke up and looked around. I was in my old room. I looked around and saw my best friend.

"Jakey!" I screamed and ran to hug him. He hugged me tight.

"Ari I missed you so much!" he said hugging me. We spun in circles until we fell over.

Present

I woke up with a start. I did know Jacob we were best friends growing up.

woke with a start after my dream and Jacob was still next to me. He woke up when I woke.

"Arial. What's wrong?" he asked frantically.

"Jakey, how could you not tell me?!?" I yelled at him. He smiled and looked down at the blanket.

"I didn't know if you would believe me. I mean I moved when we were 6. How could you remember me?" He put his hand on my cheek and turned my face to look at him.

"I missed you Jakey." Jacob pulled me into a hug.

"I missed you to Ari." we sat there hugging each other for what felt like forever until I decided I was tired.

"Jacob I'm tired." I pulled away and laid down again. He lied down next to me and pulled me close. "night Jakey."

"Night Ari."

-----------------------

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm. Jacob was already awake. I stood up and walked over to him. I hugged him close, just like I used to.

"Morning Jacob." he hugged me back.

"morning Ari." he let me go and I walked over to my closet. I picked out a really cute outfit and did my makeup and hair. I flat ironed my hair today again and put on a pink and white horizontally striped halter top with a matching skirt. When I walked out of my bathroom Jacob was already down stairs. I walked down the stairs and all the guys were already down there.

I walked into the living room and the guy's jaw dropped. I rolled my eyes.

"Damn girl, you have got to stop doing this to us. We are teenage boys and it's just not nice to do this." Hayes said walking to me. I smiled and hugged him. All the guys came and brought me into one big group hug.

"Ew you guys stink." I yelled in the middle of the hug. Then they all hugged me tighter.

"GUY STINK!" Nash and Cam yelled at the same time.

I was going to be here with them for a while.

When they all let go we decided that they would have to go home and change. Everyone piled into my car because for some reason they all walked over to my place. They all showered at my place and then we left together.

After everyone was dressed we headed out for school. We were about 10 minutes late but nobody cared. Jacob, Zach, Blake and I all walked into science together.

"2 days in a row you are late Jacob, 1 more and I will suspend you. Take a seat." we all headed over to our table where Luna was sitting. Her face looked terrible. She had bruises all over her face and a cast on her wrist. The guys almost started to laugh when they saw her. "Not you Arial, they need you in the office." mr.grimes told me. I rolled my eye and walked out the door to the office.

I walked and pulled out my phone and pulled up the video Nash had sent me. Then Luna's dad came up to me.

"You don't have the video I suppose." he said. I walked to his office and sat in a chair.

"Kiss my ass." I tossed my phone into the desk and waited for him to watch the video. He kept wincing and I assumed he was watching me beat Luna sense less.

"I see you did not swing first but you certainly swung last. That is very punishable." he informed me.

"Not if it's self defence. Yeah I read your dumb handbook and it says if its self defense I can't be punished. But Luna can because she started it. Punish her and we won't have an issue if you don't I will go to the school board." I said very calmly. He thought over it for a second before calling mr.grimes and bringing Luna in.

"Yes daddy?" Luna walked in. I rolled my eyes and looked at the principal.

"Luna, sweety. You are suspended for 3 days. Call your mother to come get you." He told her calmly. She started to throw a fit.

"You can't do that. I'm your daughter. You can't suspend me." Luna was screaming at the top of her lungs.

"LUNA! CALL YOU MOTHER BEFORE I EXPEL YOU!" the principal yelled at her. Luna shut up really quick and called her mom. After explaining the situation to her she was there to pick Luna up. After LUNA was gone I was sent back to class.

"Alright the good one wasn't suspended." Mr.grimes said to me. I smiled and walked to my seat. When I looked up I noticed they were watching the fight video. While listening to video I notice people were chanting my name.

"Good job Ari." Jacob whispered in my ear. I smiled and finished watching the video. "hey, when you start training MMA?"

"When my dad stopped paying attention to me." I whispered back. He nodded his head and the video finished. The bell rang and we all headed to our 2 period.

Random people came up to me in the hall and congratulated me. I didn't know any of them. There was 2 girls who stood out to me. The blond I knocked out and a brunette next to her.

"mess with Luna again and I will end you." the blond said. I rolled my eyes and laughed a little. But kept walking. Once we reached 2nd period the rest of the day went by faster. Once the day was over the afternoon announcements came on.

"Good afternoon students. We only have 1 announcement to make. Tomorrow is throwback Thursday and there is no school Friday. Have a good day. " the last bell rang and I walked next to Jacob out of school.

"are you dressing up?" he asked walking me home. I shrugged.

"Possibly. Are you?" I asked him. He shrugged his shoulders.

"it don't think it's really my style." Jacob said. I hugged him goodbye and went into my house. I immediately ran upstairs to find something to wear tomorrow..

As I rushed through my closet I came across the perfect thing for it. I texted Jacob.
