Endurance

Chapter 3

Whats missing?

      I wake up to the sound of my mom at my door, I had forgotten that it was locked.

''Sweety are you ok, whys your door locked? '' she said it like she was worried. I answered her and got up to open my door.

''Why have you stayed in here all day, have you been asleep? ''

''Yeah, I just don't feel well.''

        I'm glad she believes me, I can tell by how she looks at me and touches my forhead.

''Okay, well go lay down and rest.''

        I'm thankful that she leaves me alone. I dont feel like doing anything, I just want to lay in my bed and sleep, but I can't. I pick up my phone and call my best friend. She's like my sister, we've known eachother sense third grade and became friends in seventh. Ever sense she's been there for me, she always know what to do. I always called her by Pear although that wasn't her real name, it was just an old habbit.

''Pear?''

''Yeah, hey what's up? ''

''Nothing, I just, Pear he left, he's gone...''

''Sweetie what do you mean, who's gone? ''

''Chris, he left me.''

''Do I need to beat his ass?''

     I laughed at her tone, she always knew how to get me to laugh, even at a time like this.

''No, it's fine I just I dont know what I did Pear I don't understand this.'' She's quite for a moment and I know she's thinking of how to comfort me. ''How about I come over and we go walk down the train tracks and talk to him?''

''Pear, I can't it just doesn't feel right anymore. Like part of me is missing.''

''Well I'm still coming over, ill see you in an hour,okay? ''

'' Yeah, ill meet you at the tracks.''

      I get up realizing that I look like complete crap. I decided to take a shower. 

      when I get out I wrap my towel around me and sit on my bed, I look at my wall at all my pictures.  All my friends I left when I moved and all the new ones I had. One picture stood out though, him, his blue-grey eyes. I jumped up, taking the picture down and put it in my dresser. I towel dried my hair a little bit and pulled a brush threw it. I loved my hair, along with my eyes. Those where the only two things I liked about myself.

       I put my eyeliner and the rest of my make-up on  and got dressed. I checked the time. I jumped out my window and jumped the fence and headed threw the woods. Pear would be at out meeting spot any minute.

     Once I got to the tracks I sat down and watched the horses in the field across from me. I day dreamed a while and I only came back to reality because of Pear's voice.

''Rose, Rose ya there?''

''Yeah I was just, nothing. Anyways hey.''

''Hey yourself,  you look like your off in space.''

''That would be better than here.'' she smiles knowing how I feel at the moment, I can't hide that from Pear she knows me to well.

''Come on lets go put my bag in your room and walk. Did you tell mom I was coming?''

I cursed under my breath.

''No, I forgot. It'll be ok you know she loves you. She won't care.''

''Yeah true, now come on we got stuff to do.''

''Alright, lets go.''

        We run back to my house. our strides match. God I missed runing with her. We never got to see eachother that much anymore and it felt good to see her.
