Torn

{chapter 5} Is There Hope?

It's been a couple of days sense I found out that my mom is losing her job. So that means it has also been a couple of days sense Wyatt got mad at me. He still hasn't talked to me. I feel so bad I didn't want this to happen. Today is a Saturday so I had nothing to do. I was just sitting at my bay window. That is where I do most of my thinking. I want to talk to Wyatt but I didn't know if he wants to talk. Why does it have to be so hard? As I was sitting my phone started to go off. I looked at it, it was just Cole. I really didn't want to talk to him right now. But he called again. I didn't want to talk. But he called once again. So than I finally answered.

Me: Cole I dont want to talk right now, there is to much going on right now. I am better off not talking to anyone right now.

Cole: I'm sorry but something just happened. It has nothing to do with you. Trust me and just listen to me.

Me: Ok Cole I will listen to you, but if I hang up don't say I didn't warn you.

Cole: Ok thank you. So I didn't know if you knew but I have not been at school the past few days and I wasnt at school because my mom is in the hospital and she is dying. I don't know what to do. I've been so worried lately. And...

Me: Cole! Cole you will be ok , you need to calm down. Believe me I know what you are going through. I have lost some dear to me. If you need any help I'm here for you.

Cole: Yeah and yes there is something you can do. Can you meet me at the park tonight so we can talk? It would mean a lot to me.

Me: Yes Cole I will meet you there tonight. Hope you feel better.

Than Cole hung up the phone. I was just sitting there in silence. What was I doing? I was being silly. What I need to do was just talk to him and tell him what was going on. Than maybe things would get better. Who knows? I picked up my phone to start putting the number into the phone but my mom called my name. "Ava there is someone here to see you, can you please come down." She said from downstairs. I put my phone down and ran downstairs to see who was there. I looked at the door and it was Wyatt. Why was he here?

"Hi Ava. Could we talk about what is going on? I think that is what we need to do." He said looking at me. " ya I think that's what we need to do. Mom can you leave please." I said unhappy. My mom had felt the room and I sat down across him.

"Can I just explain." I said in a unhappy tone while looking at him. "It was just in the mom..." Wyatt cut me off. "Ava I know, it was just in the moment and he was there. I'm ok with that. Trust me I am. I was dealing with something the last couple of days and I was talking to no one. But I just wanted to make sure you where ok, that's why I'm here."

"You sure? Because you did seem too happy, and are you ok? I'm here for you if you need anything." I said walking over to him. "Yes I'm sure, I'm just not in the right place right now. I can't think straight or do anything for that matter. Just don't worry I should be fine in a few days." He said looking at me.

"You know I'm still going to worry, that's what I do best. You can't tell not to worry and expect me not to. It's just the person I am." I said standing up. He got up after me and hugged me. "Ava just don't I will de fine, trust me." He said whispered to me. He backed away and said, "I have to go now." I walked him to the door. He put something into my hand and left.

I just stood there and looked at my hand. I didn't know If I wanted to know what he gave me or not. I finally had the urge to walk away from the door and up to my room. I sat down in bay window. I was still hanging on to it. I flipped over my hand and started to open my had but my phone went off. I looked at it.

Wyatt: that is important to DO NOT LOSE IT.

Me: ok Wyatt I promise not to lose it.

Than I looked back at my hand and opened it. I was so surprised. I could not believe that he had gave that to me. He never took it off. He had given me his farthers wedding ring. He had died a few years ago. His mom had given it to him to help him through the hard time, so when I saw it in my hand I was surprised.

Wyatt: you are the only one I trust with that. Please don't lose it.

Me: I promise I won't.

I walked over to my dresser to see if I had a chain, I had found one so I put the ring on the chain and put it around my neck. I walk downstairs to get myself some lunch. When I got into the kitchen my mom had all really made it for me. I sat at the table.

"So what was that all about, Ava? It seemed important." She said butting it in front of me. "Ya I was. We were just clarifying amd talking about somethings. That's all." I said before a start to eat.

After I eat lunch I when back to my room. I had realized that I had left my phone in my room. I had a lot of text messages. Why now, why all of a sudden. All of them were from people who went to my school. What was going on what was happening? I didn't want to know, so I just ignored them.
