Celeb Bodyguard

Shocking news

At Denise's, I walk out of my 2013 Boss model Mustang that's painted midnight blue and walk into the cafe. I see John at the booth where we've spent most of our teen years.

"Hey," I say as I slide in the sky blue booth.

"Hey, so tell me what's happened since you've left to go to UCLA and I went to Oklahoma University."

I tell my story and who all I've been body guarding.

"I can't understand why no one will give you a part. I mean no one in the business now has purple eyes and your hair color is unique too. I mean hardly any actresses have black hair now. Or auburn no one has auburn hair except Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence and now they're both bottled blonds. Blond and brown hair are way too popular in Hollywood. But purple eyes and raven hair, an unstoppable combination."

"Did you just make a whole speech just about hair and eye colors?"

"Yep."

"You always had a talent for coming up with stories and speeches on the spot. You got away with everything."

"Yep and you got caught with everything."

"Yeah I did, remember I was grounded for a year."

"Yeah, sorry about that, you didn't have to take the blame for me."

"Yes, I did, you weren't supposed to be driving yet, let alone crash into a parked car and a tree."

"Only by 2 months, then I would've been 16 and you're only one month ahead."

"Yes, but I'm still older which means---I'm the boss."

"Sure. Anyways, you're mom told me about the engagement, congratulations."

"Oh, yeah, about that..... We broke up," yeah the second I saw him in bed with some bimbo when I walked in to his apartment to talk about the wedding details, "so you and my mom are still close?"

"Yep, I've been seeing her a lot around town and we talk sometimes, but I guess she forget to tell me about that. I'm really sorry Serena, did you love him?"

"Yeah....I did, I do, but I will not stay with.....a cheater."

This is the first I've told anyone what really happened, I didn't even tell my mom what really happened, I told her he was gay..... I'm such a disappointment...I can't even admit to my mom what really happened--- I'm not capable of being loved.

"I'm really sorry," with this he grabs my hand and gives it comforting pats, why is there tingles running through my arm, my heart is beating faster...

"It's okay," one month, that's how long I cried myself to sleep and now I'm done, it's over and I will never talk or think about it again, I have to get over Nate, I just do, "So what's come of your love life?"

Girls never really did pay attention to John in high school, they always cared about the school's QB-Connor Jones-bleach blond hair and baby blue eyes, rich, every girl dreamed of becoming his housewife, most girls here don't dream of working, they dream of getting married and becoming a housewife, people thought I was weird for not wanting to be a housewife, told me I'd never make a name for myself, I'd wind up all alone and John would be my only friend in my whole life, and my dad was right for leaving me. They were right, I'm nothing.

"Not much. So how long has it been since you've talked to your mom?"

"A month, why?"

"So she hasn't called you or anything since?"

"I woke up to a message from her saying I need to come home right away. Do you know what this is about? John, tell me now if you do."

"She's been sick lately, strokes. The doctors say she probably has less than two weeks to live."

No she can't die, she's the only family I have left, I have no aunts or uncles or grandparents and my dad left when I was 2, she's all I have left.

"What," my voice breaks a little and John sides in the booth to get closer to me and embraces me in a hug and I start silently crying.

It was just us, me and her and now it's just going to be me, I'll have no one left. People always say there's light at the end of the tunnel or light will always find it's way, but it won't, there's nothing after this, after today, no tomorrow.

"It's okay Serena, you will be alright."

"No it won't, she's all I have left."

"No, you have me now and I'll never let you go. We won't lose touch again, no matter what, you're stuck with me forever," forever.....why did my heart leap when he said that?

"Um...I better get home and see my mom."

"Okay...I'm so sorry Serena."

"Me too," and with that I walk out and get into my car and play the song that always make me feel better--- Already Gone by the Eagles, the lyrics have amazing meanings like "you can see the stars and still not see the light," or "so often times it happens where we live our life in chains, and we never even know we have the key."

On the road again......

Still trying to figure some stuff out for this story maybe Nate will come back, Idk. Thanks for reading!
