Chad's POV
It was the day of Arielle's departure and Chad was conflicted. He didn't want Arielle to leave, but she had to go visit her mother. He just put the last of her bags in the trunk and walked over to Arielle and gave her a huge bear hug. Arielle seemed surprised at first, but then hugged him back snuggling her face into his chest. Quickly, she pulled away and stared into his always changing blue eyes. "I promise to call you everyday if I'm not busy." She hugged him again, got in the car, and it drove away. Cam and Carlos wanted to send her off as well, but they had left earlier because Chad had asked for some alone time with her. After he could no longer see the car, he went to his dorm room and thought about the night before eventually falling asleep.
So far it had been five days since Arielle had left and she had called everyday. Chad had passed the time by playing football and hanging out with Carlos and Cam. At first they had felt bad for him but were now fed up with him. He never gave them alone time. By the third day he had taken the hint when Cam, not so nicely, asked him to leave them alone. After he decided to spend his time watching Sherlock on Netflix or texting his friends, Logan and Daysi, who went to Citrus View. They had gotten pretty close from what Chad heard. Even though he loved Netflix and hearing from Logan and Daysi, Chad's highlight was when Chad received his call from Arielle at 9 P.M. It was nearing 9 so Chad took his phone and went out to his balcony. He went there every night because he could easily remember Arielle there the night of her Christmas party. Since Chad was in his dorm he was only wearing boxers, more specifically the ones Arielle got him. He was thinking about the way Daysi talked about Logan and wondered if she liked him when he Trouble by Never Shout Never. He picked up the phone call not looking at the screen because he knew it was Arielle.
"Hey!" Arielle's voice was bright and made Chad smile.
"Hi."
"How was your day?"
"Fine. What's up?"
"Just playing CoD with Andrew."
"Who's Andrew?
"An old friend from middle school. ANDREW WATCH OUT."
"ARIELLE BEHIND YOU." Chad hears shooting noises and a lot of random screaming. "NOOOOOOOOO."
"GODDAMMIT ANDREW. Let's go again. Oh and say Hi to Chad." Andrew waves as if Chad could see him through the phone.
"HAAAAAAII CHAD." Arielle bursts into laughter.
"Anyways, so what's up with you?" Chad gets upset knowing Arielle is having fun without him.
"Nothing. Everything's great. It's almost like you never left."
"What?" Hearing that, Arielle pauses the game and gets up to leave the room.
"Where are you going?" Andrew, annoyed and confused, questions Arielle's sudden action.
"I'll be back Drew." Arielle walks upstairs, out the window, and onto the roof. "I've missed you like crazy. You make it sound like you're better off without me?"
"Well you definitely seem to be having so much fun without me." Angrily, Chad hangs up the phone and throws it onto his bed.
Beeeeeeep......."Chad? CHAD." Realizing he had hung up, she pulls her head into her knees as tears begin to flow down Arielle's cheeks.
