So What

-11-

I saw London being carried out of the kitchen. her legs wrapped around jacks body. their lips moving ferociously. I watched him carry her up the stairs. I stood there dumbfounded for a second

I walked back into The lounge room with the bowl of popcorn. And stated that
"London and Jack are getting it on" with a wink. The boys looked at me their faces were hilarious. I doubled over laughing.

I sat back on the couch. Squishing my butt back into the tiny spot that had closed up while I was gone. Daniel had grabbed the remote and started the movie again. 

I lay my head on Corbyn's shoulder wishing Jakob would just show up. 

Jakob had been my best friend when I was in primary and high school. We had kept in touch, unlike all the other people I went to primary and most of high school with. They had totally ignored me when they found out I was depressed and my parents abandoned me that year too. I was in year 10, not even out of high school and I was living out on the street and I had nowhere to go. I met London when I was walking down a long road, I was trying to get to the airport. With my little bag of a few belongings. she was in the car with a boy 2-3 years older. they pulled over and asked where I was headed. I answered with to the airport. "its a really long walk. Do you want a ride" he said "ok" I hesitantly got in the car. we all talked a lot I found out London was leaving too. she was going to LA. 

I dug around in my bag for some cash to buy a ticket for the plain. I only had carry on which made the price cheaper. I grabbed my ticket off the counter and walked through all of the security procedures. After a long wait in the airports waiting room, the plane was ready to board. I was on the plane sitting in my seat number 15. the plane trip was long and boring. 

~end of the flashback~

I had tears running down my face. why did I even think of that it's just really bad to remember.

I rubbed my eyes with the base of my hand trying to get rid of the tears. I stayed silent through the rest of the movie. 

by the time the movie had ended, I was ready to call Jakob. it had been a lot to think about without crying. I had decided it was best for me. I ran upstairs to change into something ok looking. it ended up being ripped jeans and a t-shirt. I went back down the stairs grabbing my phone off the kitchen counter. 

"I have to go somewhere I'll be back." 

"ok," Daniel replied 

I jumped into my car diving to the nearest park. it was 5 minutes away. the more I thought about it the more I lost my nerve. I sat in the park wondering if I should.

the dial tone rang 4 times before he picked up

"hello" I said into the phone

"who is this"
