Polar Opposites {l.h}

Chapter 15

After a couple of days, I was finally released from the hospital.

But I couldn't get home.

My car was still in my driveway and the closest bus stop was still miles away.

"Shit."

"Something wrong?"

I find one of the nurses behind me.

"Uh..I don't have a ride home."

"I can take you! I'm off anyways. Where do you live?"

"Uh..Blink Ave."

"Great! I live near by. I can drop you off."

"Um..Thanks...?"

"Lani."

_______________

"House number?"

"182."

"178, 180....and here we are!! 182."

"Thanks Lani."

"No problem! Um....?"

"Oh my god! I forgot to telll you my name! I'm so sorry!"

"It's fine. Actually, I think I already know you...Is your name Azalea?"

"Uh yeah it is!"

"Azalea Thorn?"

"Erm....yeah....how did you-?"

"OH MY GOD!! IT'S YOU!!"

"Uh yeah that's me.."

"You don't remember me? Lani? Lani-"

"Day?" Oh my frikin god.

"Oh my god yes!!"

"Oh it's been a while..."

"Yeah!"

"Umm...well I better get inside. Nice to see you again, Lani."

"Yeah. Of course Lea!"

"Bye."

"Bye!"

I headed up towards my porch steps. Well, not mine. The house was still my moms. She just didn't live in it anymore.

But no one needs to know I live alone. It's not like it matters. There's no one left to take care of me and I turn 18 in a couple months.

My parents are gone, Jack is gone..

Wow my list of people who care about me is way to short.

As I entered the house I realized that I had nothing to do.

I was off work for a while because of the crash and school is ending in less than a month.

I also realized that I missed the electric bill this month.

"Damnit."

I went into the kitchen and started searching for some candles, but the only ones I found were the small birthday candles. I opened up one of the drawers and took out a lighter.

I decided to go upstairs and search for some bigger candles.

"Ah! Shit!" I cursed as the hot wax dripped onto my skin. I dropped the candle and stepped on it to make sure the flame was out.

I decided to go out. I groped around in the dakrness trying to find my keys. Once I found them I headed towards the garage.

_____________

I drove to the nearest store and parked my car. I turned off the engine and went into the store.

I grabbed a cart and started going into the aisles.

After finally getting enough food to last about a month for me, I waited in line at checkout.

That's when I noticed. Everyone was staring at me. I don't know if it was because of my cuts and bruises or the fact that I had bought a lot of food for one person. I mean, it'a not my fault. I don't enjoy grocery shopping.

I tried to focus on the line and ignored the stares.

Then I felt someone tap me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw a girl about 13 or 14 in front of me. But something about her was so different. It wasn't her red hair or her eyes that seemed to be numerous colors. It was her face in general.

She was gorgeous. Perfect little nose and cheekbones. She had big eyes and long lashes. And she wasn't even wearing make-up. I started getting even more self conscious.

"Hi..."

"Hey?"

"Okay, um I know this is kinda weird but do you know Luke Hemmings?"

"Yeah."

"No I mean in person."

"Oh yeah. We used to go to school together."

"No, I mean," she sighed. "Are you two dating?"

"What? No! What makes you think we're dating?!?"

"Twitter." and she walked away.

I turned back around and saw the line has moved up. I hurriedly paid for my groceries and almost ran to my car. I put all my bags away and hopped into the drivers seat.

I whipped out my phone but I didn't see any twitter alerts.

"Maybe she's lying." I said but I unlocked my phone anyways.

I opened up twitter and saw my notifications blowing up.

"Whoah."

I checked the trending tags and was shocked.

LukeandAzalea, Azaleasawhore, westillloveyou5sos, 5sosgroupies, gocutazalea...

They really hated me for not dating Luke.

I decided to call Luke about this Twitter shit.

"Hello? Lea?" He answered on the first ring.

" Hi, did you see what's trending on-"

"Twitter? Yeah..."

"Yeah? What do we do!?! They are girls telling me to go fucking die!!!"

"Just relax. I have to call our manager about this shit."

"But we're not dating!! What makes them think we are?"

"I have no idea. Hey listen okay?"

I nodded my head even if he couldn't see me.

"Don't tweet anything to fuel this rumor. No posts or answering any questions about this. Okay?"

"Okay."

"I'll tell you what my manager says and we can figure this out, together right?"

"Right."

"Hey Lea, I have to go, I'm about to go on in like 30 seconds. Bye."

"Bye Luke."

Then the line went dead.
