WAYWARD - L.H

twenty nine

I cannot believe this! I'm being dragged by Luke again!

I want to protest more and cuss at him but I can't. I know that I can't.

He led me to the frat house's backyard.

"What the hell was that?" He shouted to my face after knowing that were far enough and no one will hear our bickering.

I rolled my eyes, "What the hell was what?"

"I'm sure you goddamn know what I'm talking talking about!"

I don't! "What is your problem?" I tried to calm my voice I know that if I shout to his face like what he's doing to me right now this will end up worst than world war II, world war Luke and Pheobe! I hate it when my inner self scold me.

"Why were you with Travis?" He huffs,

Wow.

"I was having a walk, okay? I happen to bump unto him and he offered me to go here, obviously I did because I was looking for Amanda and I know that she's going to be here because of Ashton. I didn't even know you're still here I thought you'll go back to Australia or whatever" I rolled my eyes,

"You shouldn't goddamn go anywhere near him! He only wants to get in your pants!" He screamed in frustration.

Oh my god! Why is he acting like this?

"His intentions were clean he doesn't even like me I know that I'm not his type"

He rolled his eyes, "You're so stupid! He doesn't care about anything! If we weren't here god knows what he could've done to you!"

He's really pissing me off. I'm fuming inside!

"Can you come down! Why are you acting like this!?"

He brushed the back of his neck and licked his lips, "That guy! That fucking guy! Ugh! Just stay away from him!"

"Don't tell me what to do! I'm not a kid and I'm sure as hell that you don't give a fuck about me! Mind your own business! I came here to move away to start fresh and to forget about you...about everything in the past including...including Lucas!" I closed my eyes as I mention his name, "But, here you are! ruining everything and school isnt  even starting yet! What do you want from me?" I shouted back to him I can't calm down now I'm so mad that everything inside me just wants to bash him! Right here! Right now!

His eyes were shock, he looks like he's trying to sink in everything that I've just said. I don't care if I hurt his feelings right now...I think.

He shook his head, I know what he's going to say and I don't want to hear it. I don't want to deal with him anymore. I don't want to do anything about him anymore. I want him out of my life..for good..at least thats what I tell myself, before he could say another word I closed my eyes and trailed off.

"Are you sure you're okay driving alone to Boston..alone?" Amanda asks as I place the last clothing I need from my drawer to my suitcase.

"As if you and Ashton are going to drive a 4 hours trip just to get me there!" I laughed,

"Fair point!"

"Aren't you going to your parents or whatever to just spend the remaining days of summer? I mean school's going to start soon"

"Oh yeah, maybe Ashton and I will go drive somewhere like New York or whatever, I live the city you know, I love it more than the beach, you can't go shopping on the sand, right?"

I laughed and shook my head, "I better get going, I'll see you soon!" I shut the door behind me dragging my suitcase along with me.

The drive was long and I look like dump. I'm so tired that I needed to sit back in every coffee shop that I pass by along the way;

I pulled along the clear driveway, surprised that George's SUV isn't park in the front of their driveway.

I took advantage of it by parking my car where his old SUV should be parked and went to knock on the front door,

I pressed the doorbell and called for Aunt Belinda.

She opened the door, the scent of cinnamon welcomed me as she opens the door, a huge smile plastered on her face from ear to ear, she's wearing a floral dress and some ballet flats, she looks happy to see me and I know that I haven't seen her for almost 2 years since my mother died but I missed her, she was the only one who was there for me..ever since everything happened.

She pulled me into a tight hug and I obliged,

"Honey, its been along time" She chuckles her red lipstick properly applied on her lips allowing her pearly whites to be noticeable by her lips.

"I know I'm sorry. I was..busy..you know, college and high school" I trailed off but she cuts me off by placing her hand on my shoulders and pulling me again into a hug,

"I'm sorry I didn't got to attend your graduation I really owe you"

I pulled away from our embrace as she led me in her house, its still the same. Nothing really changed except for the fact that the wallpaper is already falling off on one side of the living room but who cares, as long as its home.

She asked me to sit down on the couch and I did what I am told too.

I like Aunt Belinda so much, she's family.

"I'm really sorry for not attending your graduation though, I mean it" Her green eyes sparkles,

I smiled, "Its okay its not a big deal"

"You know that George was in the hospital and no one will take care of him since he's there"

Because he's an asshole,

"Stop apologizing" I smiled and took a sip on my tea that she prepared I front of me with some pieces of these little different cookies.

"Where is Uncle George?" I asked, the fact that I'm calling him uncle made me cringe.

I still hate the fact that Aunt Belinda married that creep. I don't know what she sees on him but then again love is blind.

"He has a business meeting and he's not coming home until Monday."

I have to leave before he arrives then.

Seeing him again just makes me quiver in disgust. I hate it.

"Where are your things?" She asks,

"Oh they're in the trunk"

"Do you need help? Connor from next door sure could help you with it I know that he'll be happy to help you"

Connor. I remember him! I thought I forgot about him but I didn't!

"Oh no, I'm okay. I can do it. Connor still lives here?" I asked in shocked,

"Of course, child. Where else could he go"

I expected him to move away its what we've been talking about since we were little kids, he hated Boston and he told me that he hated it here when we were in fifth grade, he have always planned to move to Rhode Island with his dad to get away from his mom who is a drunk and loves to beat him. I cannot believe that he's still here. The thought of me going here and seeing him again made me feel happy, giddy even. I know that he was devastated when I had to move to Manhattan and leave him here but I promised to visit him but I didn't got a chance, until now.
