Can We Love

Chapter Six: Over

My palms are sweety as walk into the living room. On the couch I see my mother with tear marks on her face and two police officers. As soon as I walk my mother look up at me with complete shock. She stands up and approaches me.

"Where the hell have you been",says in a very soft tone. The fastest thing that comes to mind was I got lost, so I say just that 'I got lost.' Who ever knew that three simple words could mean a long game on 21 questions.

"Well, how did you get lost and where did you end up", she said. I stay silent for a few seconds.

"I...I was riding aroud with leah for a while and we made a wrong turn so we ended up in San Diego." I look down to avoid my mother's eyes. God, if looks could kill I'd be dead five minutes ago. I feel so horrible. Even though we had fun and I love him so much I just feel so awful. My mom puts her long brown hair in a ponytail and slowly walks to her room, but my mom's not dumb. Deep down inside me I knew that she knew I didn't make a wrong turn into San Diego.

When my mother returns to her room I speed up the stairs, lock my door and pull out my phone. I quickly call Joe to see how he is doing I call two times but he doesn't answer but the the 3rd times a charm.

"Hey baby how are doing what's going on  at your house." I say anxiously

" Mary Jane I can't see you any more"

I pause to process what he just said, Or what I think he just said.

" Joe its ok I made up this story about how we weren't together and I..." He cuts me off.

"  No Mary Jane you're not getting it. We can't be together. We can't see each other anymore and I damn sure don't love you anymore."

" Babe what are you talking about is everything ok?" My heart beat quickly picks up and the next thing you I'm having a panic attack.

" Mary Jane don't call me anymore. Goodbye." Then he hangs up.

I drop my phone and then I collapse to the floor. My head hurts and I'm so dizzy. I bet you could hear me sobbing from a mile away. I don't know what to do so I just sit there and cry.

My sister comes in and sees me sobbing uncontrollably. She rushes to my side and repeatedly asks me what was wrong, I never answered. She gets me in bed and stays with me for the night.

In the morning jade is still in my bed, sleep. I get out of bed and pick up my phone that is still on the floor from last night. I put my phone on the dresser and then go down stairs. When I get to the kitchen my parents are already cooking breakfast. And Jonah and Luca was eating already. You can tell already that theres so much tension in the room. Nothing was said until my mother noticed the tear marks on my face.

"Mary Jane why were you crying?" my mom asks.

I thought about ignoring the question but

I know everyone heard it.

" I had allergies so my eyes were watery."

Jade comes down stairs and practically devours the whole kitchen even though she's 124 pounds. Jade has to go some where everyday or she'd die, she can not stay in the house all day. So she asked our mom if she ca go to the mall and take me with her. I almost choked on my orange juice was .She crazy? Under the restriction I was on?I don't think so.

Everyone in the kitchen paused. At first my mom said no. But then she pleaded about how she couldn't go alone. So my mother said why don't you take Jonah. So then she went on and on about how she needs a girls opinion that was her age. My mom said yes but she still wanted Jonah to come to look out for us. I'm guessing she did this to know why I was crying last night.

My brother has his drivers license so we took one of my dads G.T Mustangs. The ride to the mall was mostly quite.Until my sister decides to ask me why I was  crying.

" So Mary Jane why were you crying last night?" She says turning around to the back seat to make eye contact. Both of my siblings had already knew about Joe and I.

" It's nothing. It's just something going on with me and Joe. I think we just need to

talk."

" Whoa Joe made you cry like that? I haven't seen you cry that much since grandma died."

" Yea, I don't really want to talk about it."

" Ok, whatever you say."

I roll my eyes at her sarcasm and try to injoy the rest of the day without having any thought about Joe.

The next day was school and luckily not alot of people knew about my 'weekend getaway' but still I so scared go to go because I knew that he would be there.

I woke up early the next morning and got ready for school but I decide to ride my long board to school because I knew I'd be late so that I didn't have to see him. But coincidentally he is late also and we see each other in the halls and I try to talk to him but he acts like I'm not even here. Thats the worst feeling. When the love of your life hates you. I want to cry my eyes out so I just go home and ditch the rest of the day. The next day was sure to be better.
