Ex - Best Friends

How it all started .

Have you ever known someone practically your whole life and then BOOM!. Tragedy strikes and now your enemies?.

Well welcome to my life. I'm Mia Wilson , daughter of David & Sasha. High school sweethearts who literally got married right after graduation 👩‍🎓 and ended up pregnant with my older sister Sylvia , then 2 years later I came along. Surprise!

See when my mother was in 6th grade she met her best friend to this day everyone Heather Cox. Apparently how they became friends was my mother saving Heather from being tripped in the hallway from these bratty little group of girls. From that day on they were inseparable.

It's kind of how I met Nathan Cox, we've been friends since -
Wait correction "were" friends since the 2nd grade, due to our parents sending us to each other houses for play dates🙄. Over time we grew a friendship just like our parents did.

Well that was until halfway into our freshman year of high school, I remember sitting in the library with Nathan working on our homework when he got a phone call and it was the worst news a child could receive.

Nathan's Dad & little brother who was 10 at the time were involved in a major car accident on the way of picking us up from school. I guess a semi truck didn't see the light turning red and blew through the intersection right when Nathan's Dad was taking a left turn, they were hit head on and Nathan's Dad didn't make it.
As for Jaxon (Nathan's brother), miraculously he survived .
But suffered he went into a comma for 4 months and when he woke up ... he was paralyzed & could no longer walk again.

From that day forward, Nathan stopped talking to me, he stopped accepting my calls, he would leave me on read when I texted him, and last he barely acknowledged me at school. Who does that?.
I didn't understand how to help him but I wanted to support and be there for Nathan when he was going through this difficult time. Instead he shut me out and turned to drugs, alcohol , and new friends to help cope.

That my friends is the story behind me loosing my best friend.

PRESENT DAY.
Mia's POV
Today is the morning of my junior year of high school.
Yep, it's already been almost 2 years since Nathan and I have spoke . I see him all the time at school but he has new friends and has been properly known as "the bad boy".
It's okay though I get he's apparently still grieving the tragedy. I'm just lucky I have Naomi.

Naomi & I met on the first day of sophomore year she had just moved here from Arizona and didn't know anyone until we literally collided into each other in the hallway. From then I was her tour guide, and now a year later we are the best of friends :) .

"Yo loser get up. It's time for school" I snap out of my thoughts to see my older sister Sylvia standing at the edge of my bed, hands folded across her chest. See Sylvia graduated high school last year then got accepted at this awesome Art School in New York, she planned on going and moving there with her boyfriend Tyler of 2 years. That was until the night of her going away party, she had found Tyler hooking up with her now "ex best friend" Bridget IN HER OWN BEDROOM.
My sister kicked them both out, had to burn her sheets and buy new ones and declined going to Art School because she was heart broken, and it didn't help that Tyler was the one that made her apply for that school and was willing to move with her . So much for a 2 year relationship am I right?.
So for now Sylvia has been going to community college here in San Diego and working part time at the diner to save up to move out of our parents house. Which i don't blame her for.

"I'm up" I say and climb out of bed. Oh yeah fun fact I don't have my drivers license yet because my AWESOME parents don't have the time to take me to go get my test done . It's a good thing I actually have my permit. So until then Sylvia drives me to school Mondays & Wednesday's . Then Naomi drives me Tuesdays Thursdays & Friday's because she actually has a license .
"I'll be downstairs but hurry up, I have to go into work today" Sylvia says "I thought you don't work Mondays?" I ask. She shrugs "Class got cancelled so i volunteered to take Nancy's shift for the day. So you have 15 minutes to get ready or you'll be taking the bus on your first day of junior year" she smirks and walks out.

I open up my closet doors, and pull out the first thing I see. Which consists of a purple v neck crop top, dark blue skinny jeans and a long black cardigan (outfit in picture at the top).
I quickly brush my hair, add a line of mascara to both of my eyes before grabbing my book bag, my phone off it's charger and slip on my black vans before literally running down the stairs .

I head into the kitchen to see my mother on the phone. Every morning she always has a 2 hr conversation with Heather. I still don't understand why these days, they act like teenagers because all they do is gossip and talk about their jobs BORING!. As for my Dad he's usually already at work. He works at a factory and has to be there at 4am every single day, that would be too early for me.
"Okay I'm ready" I tell Sylvia as I grab a banana "ok go" she says I kiss my mom on the cheek before getting into the passenger seat to her car.

When we arrive I give Sylvia a quick "thanks" before hopping out and walking into the dreaded doors of my high school. I sigh and make my way towards the junior locker Bay Area and find my locker . I find my exact locker put in the combination to the lock before I hear someone yell "Boo bitch" I literally jump, before placing my hand over my heart. I slam my locker shut to see Naomi bending over dying of laughter "not funny asshole" I smack her arm. She finally stops laughing and looks at me "sorry I just had too"
I roll my eyes "sure you did. Hey what classes do you have ?" I ask. She hands me her schedule I pull out mine and look them over "hmm looks like we have Chem, Calculus & lunch together" I hand her schedule back over.
"Sweet. I was afraid I wouldn't have anyone to cheat off of in Chem".

Yes I am a science nerd. Don't judge me I just happen to really love science and how everything works. "Hey science freak" I'm snapped out of my thoughts to see the presence of Hayley Daniels.
Aka Ms . Popular, captain of the cheer team, & student body president (don't know how that happened). She's hated me from the moment i had been friends with Nathan. Yes sadly I grew up with Hayley and the reason for her hatred against me was Nathan wanted to be my friend and not hers. But now since we don't even talk she's made it her priority to flirt and constantly be around him whenever I'm present to see it.

"Hi Hayley. You know I have a name right? Science freak is getting kind of old" She just laughs "I prefer science freak . It suites you better." Then out of nowhere I see her eyes go wide "Nathan. Hey baby" I turn around to see none then my former best friend.

Standing with his 2 new friends he made freshman year Simon & Tony. How the hell am I going to survive another year of this?.
