CHAPTER1: Leaving?
Ok so my name is Claire and i have a bestfriend.He was at the counter paying the bill like all gentleman do and i just happen to be looking around and my eyes fell on his muscular back...god he was so perfect,his gorgeous electric blue eyes,his perfect chocolate brown hair that he always had spiked up in the front in a boyish but sexy way,his soft perfect lips... No! I refuse to think these things he's coming back over so i try to act normal.
"Hey do you want to go take a walk on the beach...there's somthing i have to tell you".
"uh yeah sounds great".
Oh and by the way his name is Alex and we have been friends since we were five.Alex is eighteen now and my birthday is in a week and two days so then we will be the same age.I have had a crush on him for at least since we were thirteen so yeah long enough.
"So are you ready?"
"Yeah Alex im ready,lets go"
I get into the passengers seat of Alex's black mustang and we head to the beach.
It was silent the whole ride to the beach. I stole a glance at him and I couldn't really read his expression.
Once we reached the beach he parked the car and we both got out. I followed him to the edge of the shore and he sat down so I did to. For a few minutes it was dead silent until he finally broke the silence.
"There is somthing I need to tell you but I dont exactly know how to." He scratched the back of his neck and looked out at the ocean. It was almost completely dark but the sun was still setting.
"Ok so tell me in the best possible way" I was getting a little scared when he turned to look at me. His face looked sad? I don't know but I don't like it.
"I um I..." he trailed off.
"Im leaving for a while"
I Looked at him in shock and was finally able to say somthing.
"Your leaving?... for how long?"
"About 5 months... I'm going to visit my dad's side of the family in Australia. I've never met them before and my dad's mom is sick so he wants us to spend as much time as possible together. He wants me to have time with them."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Oh...Well when are you leaving?"
"it's the beginning of the school year and we are only a month in but my dad said we are leaving in two days."
I really just wanted to curl up into a ball and cry, but I dont think I have ever let him see me cry. I refuse to let him see me like that. I only cry when something is really wrong. Like this...
"Oh... I see. I don't really know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything."
We just sat there not talking. I started thinking...school. Alex is the only protection I have from...well everyone. My school is filled with selfish, mean, little rich kids. Ashley Greene. The most popular girl in school who also likes to bully me along with her stupid ass boyfriend's. Yeah boyfriend'S as in many boyfriends. Did I meantion she's kind of a slut. Not to be rude or anything but when you're sleeping with the whole schools population of boys what do you expect. I'm not popular at all, honestly im a goody two shoes. I always get my work done on time and im a straight A student. Alex has been the only one who keeps Ashley and her little friends away. And now he's leaving...he's leaving me alone.
"We should get going" Alex said while standing up holding his hand out to me. I took it and started walking to his car.
Once we got to my house he walked me to my door. I live in an average sized house and it's nothing really special but it's nice.
"Well I guess I'll text you tomorrow"
I nodded not even saying anything because I knew if I opened my mouth I would break down. I swear I could almost feel an attack coming on but I can't let them come back. I have anxiety and a panic disorder and when I have a panic attack I just can't control it. Alex is one reason why I haven't had an attack in 2 years but he's leaving so I don't know whats going to happen in the next 5 months.
He backed out of my driveway without a second glance. I ran inside and upstairs as fast as possible and went to my room and shut the door. I ran to my bed I went face first into my pillow and bawled all night. Eventually I drifted off to sleep still quietly sobbing.
◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻◻
I woke up the next morning with the saddest feeling in the world. I got out of bed and noticed my clothes from last night still on my body. I went in to my closet and looked at my wardrobe. I picked out a baseball T shirt with white as the base of the shirt and a melon color on the sleeves and some worn out skinny jeans. I went into the bathroom and looked at my face. Wow I'm a mess is the first thing that went through my head.
Tear stained and red, I washed my face and threw my long, straight, dark brown hair into a simple ponytail.
When I went downstairs and into the kitchen I saw my mom making toast and eggs. My dad sitting at the table reading the newspaper.
"Hi honey, did you get enough sleep last night?"
"Yeah sure mom" lies...
"Oh well I didnt hear you come in last night"
"I was just really tired and wanted to rest".
I sat down at the table and a few minutes later my mom sat a plate full of eggs and toast in front of me. I really wasn't in the mood for food so I just took a few bites of toast.
"I better get going I don't want to be late"
" ok have a nice day sweetie" mom said
"Be safe and don't do drugs" dad had said with a straight face. I smiled at his comment.
"No promises" grabbed my backpack and I phone 5 then slipped my black vans on and walked out the door.
I saw Alex's car in the driveway waiting for me as usual. I opened the passenger door and got in.
"Hey, ready for school or should I say prison" Alex had a good sense of humor that always made me smile.
"yep I'm ready but I think I forgot my orange jumpsuit" I said while looking at him with a grin on my face.
"That's ok im sure what your wearing is horrid enough" I turned to him and smacked his arm while glaring at him.
"Jerk"
"Nerd" I gave him another glare
"Calm down I'm just kidding"
"Yeah I bet you were" I said with sarcasm. Sarcasm is like my second language.
"So I was wondering how your getting to school for the next 5 months"
"Of course I'll be walking no thanks to you" I said in a joking manner.
"I'm sorry this is happening but these next five months will blow by"
yep only FIVE months no big deal...
