Rebecca June (GxG)

Chapter 6

   I pulled up in front of the diner and flicked my cigarette out the window before exiting the car.

I walked through the doors and looked around for Rebecca, but didn't see her. I tried to follow her last night, but lost her.

   "Is Rebecca here?" I asked another waitress standing behind the counter.

   "Sorry, she called in sick today, should I tell her you stopped by?"

   I sighed. "No, that's ok. Thanks anyway."

   The waitress nodded me off as I made it out the doors and back to my car...

I pulled into the garage next to the Corvette my best friend gave me. As I looked at it, memories of last night came flooding back.

   "I ran out on her..." I whispered to myself.

   I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed her number. It rang a few times before I got her voicemail.

   "You've reached Wendy, leave a message and I'll get back to you." Then the beep.

   "Wendy, it's Skylar, I'm so sorry about last night. I wanna talk to you, please call back."

   I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket as I made my way inside and into my room, flopping down on my bed as the tears started to fall.

   "How could everything go to shit in just one night..?"

———————

   I spent the last couple weeks ignoring everyone. I haven't talked to Wendy or Rebecca since the night of the party. I haven't even been to Twist.

I mostly just sat in my room listening to music or smoking my life away.

Sure, I was used to being alone, but even when I hit rock bottom, Wendy was there for me... Now, it was just me.

   My phone suddenly rang and I answered quickly.

   "Wendy?"

   "No, it's Blake?"

   My shoulders slumped. "Oh, hey Blake."

   "You alright?"

   I laid back on my bed. "Not really, my life's turning to shit..."

   "Why don't you come down to Twist? Drinks are on me."

   "Not today, I kinda just wanna be alone..."

   She sighed. "Alright, well I'm closing early today if you change your mind."

   "Ok, I'll talk to you later, Blake."

   "Sure thing, kiddo."

   I smiled to myself slightly before hanging up. At least one person still cared.

   I stood up and made my way downstairs.

   "You ok?" I heard Beth ask from the living room.

   I looked over and saw her, Stephanie and a boy sitting on the couch.

   "Yeah, just a bad day..."

   "More like a bad week."

   I chuckled. "Yeah, maybe you're right."

   "I usually am." She replied.

   "Who's the new kid?" I asked, even though I really didn't care.

   "Oh, Steven, nice to meet you." He answered.

   "Skylar, nice to meet you to."

   I shook his hand and walked into the kitchen to grab a beer.
