Everything Happens for a Reason

chapter 1: That Summer

I've been home for about a week now and am happy to be back from San Diego. I was there for two months and so done with the drama that is naturally caused by living in a town filled with illegal aliens from Mexico and drug dealers at every street corner. Although then I wasn't complaining about not having any connects, I really didn't care as long as I had smokes.

My stay in San Diego wasn't long so I spent most of my days sitting in my bedroom on Facebook, or ditching school to go smoke with a couple of people I had met through my new friend Mia.

Mia and I clicked as soon as we met, I was one of two white girls in this high school, and Mia showed me the works of it all. It wasn't hard, stay away from certain people and keep on the down low to stay out of shit.

If I wasn't at school I'd be smoking with her and always on my phone. I had meet this guy through my boyfriend and him and I were best friends. To bad he was staying in Indiana and I was stuck in Cali. He was a friend of my long distant boyfriend, Levi.

Levi and I met in the third grade and he had told me he loved me ever since we had met. Well, in the fifth grade I moved to Las Vegas and forgot completely who he was. Until five years later when he messaged me on Facebook asking for a chance finally. I gave the guy the benefit of the doubt. I lived in San Diego, he lived in Indiana, it couldn't get serious. Well till I moved back to Indiana.

That guy I had meet thought Levi, his name was Joseph. Him and I were the best of friends. I'd text him all day every day. On Facebook, when he deleted his Facebook he made a text app on textnow and kept in contact. Once I arrived in Indiana he completely disappeared, and I didn't think much of it. Until the 11th of June, he texts me and set up a plan to meet at a local park. I wasn't going to go meet a stranger at a park by myself, I dragged my cousin Marie with me. He never showed, and wasn't replying to any texts. "I don't even care" I said and headed back to my grandmothers house. Three hours later I receive a phone call from an unknown number, it was him.

"I am so sorry! Something came up with one of my buddies, is there anyway we can still chill"

It took me a minute to realize who it was calling me, since we had never spoken on the phone before. So after getting permission to invite him over I gave him my address and he was here just about fifteen minutes later.
