Surviving Long Distance (ON HOLD)

Chapter 18

***Jenis's POV***

Summer's over. Schools started off. It should all be normal for me, but its not. Zave joined the same school as I and it's weird how he's been always there and how he's comforting me after Aaron left.

Aaron. He left. He left handing me unanswered questions. He left without having a word with me. After all that he'd done, after all the memories we shared, after all those magical moments and after all those fairytale scenes, he left. The memory of him telling me that he loves me is still fresh in the back of my mind like it happened yesterday. I should hate him. I should hate him for hanging me like this. But I can't. I tried but I just can't. I miss him. I miss his touch, his eyes, his smile, his hugs and his kiss. I miss how he made me feel inside. How can he just leave? How can he be so mean?

I hate him. But then I love him. It's like I want to throw him off a cliff and then run down to catch him. This is so insane!

"Earth to, Jen." Zave said as he placed his hand on mine. We're in the canteen, Cady and Greg accompanying us.

"Are you okay?" Cady asked with concern in her eyes. I nodded and gave an assuring smile.

The bell rang and Cady and Greg left as they had a class to attend and me and Zavier started roaming around the campus cause we're having a free period.

"You still miss him, don't you?" He asked as we sat down on the football ground.

I started plucking out the grass and replied "I don't know."

"Jen. He didn't wanted to leave but he'd no choice. I don't know why he didn't told you about this before, but he was always so afraid about this. This distance thing."

"I understand all that Zave. What I don't get it, is that, he left without informing me. He didn't called nor did he texted about this leaving. I need answers. It's been a week but he's still on my mind. It's like our story ended before it started. And it hurts Zave. It hurts a lot." I said and my eyes started watering.

"I know. I know what he'd done is unforgiveable. But this must be carrying a strong reason behind this. Trust me."

"And what if I never find out what that reason is?"

The bell rang and we stood up for the class. We were walking in the hallway and I could see girls staring at us and whispering. I've never been the centre of attractions in school. Maybe I was included in bad gossips and all but I'm not the attention seeker. I've not even dated anyone from school. Yeah that dog before, but that time, I was so young for relationships, so dodge that thing. No guy has ever asked me out so I understand why they are behaving like this.

I was even bullied by the head cheerleader and the slut and hoe of this school, Kelly Ribston. She's giving me deadly glares over and over every time our paths cross. Because Zave hangs out with me even when she's the sexy and hot stuff. You know when the new guy in the school is hot, every chick drools over him like a puppy drools over a bone.

OK. I just called Zavier hot. Whatever.

"Jen!!" I felt Zave shaking me holding my shoulders. Ugh I spaced out again!

"Y-yeah.."

"Don't over think Jenis. In fact don't think about it at all. We're all here for you princess. I've got your back. Okay?"

I kept staring at him as he said that. His eyes weren't lying. They can never lie!

He cupped my cheeks "Okay?!" he asked with more concern.

"Okay." I smiled.

I looked around and saw everyone walking in slow motion. With their eyes on us as if we were making out or something. High schools and it's over dramatic people I swear!
