Thank you so much @niightdreaamer for that amazing cover!!! She's the best, I don't know what I would do without her.
I'm so excited for this chapter, you get to meet the rest of the fam!!
Chapter two
I dropped my lunch tray and sat down next to Chris who was talking animatedly with the group.
"Hey guys!" I chirp enthusiastically and then the next second the life was being squeezed out of me.
"Oh my god Elli, I missed you so much! " Tara squeals in excitement. I chuckle at her enthusiasm.
"Tara! I can't breathe." Instead of letting go she hugs me even tighter.
"Tara!" I whine as I try to push her off me.
"Ok girl calm down. But seriously I missed you so much."
"But I saw you just before you went on that trip," I say.
"That trip was 3 weeks long. Do you know how hard it is to stay in a tent with no wifi?" Tara fusses.
"Damn! That's harsh," Alex says and then starts explaining how he spent his vacation cooped up in his room playing fortnite.
"Oh by the way guys, I beat Ella five times in a row in fortnite!" Chris pipes in. I punch his shoulder to which he gives a dramatic wail.
"And the all time reigning champion Eleanor loses to the pathetic loser five times in a row. This is history in the making right here." Alex chortles.
"Hey! I'm not a pathetic loser, you are." Chris gets up and smacks Alex on the head and then both of them start punching and yelling profanities at each other. Boys.
"How was your summer Livie?" I look at her.
"It was great." she says in a small voice. My chest felt heavy whenever I looked at her. I still remember the day vividly when she told us about it. Tara broke down as Olivia and Tara had been best friends since kindergarten. For her it must be like losing her other half. Even Alex who we had never seen cry before had tears streaming down his face. We all spent the entire day at her house not wanting to leave her alone.
Olivia has cerebral cancer and the doctor said that she had at the most a year to live. Surgery was out of question for her as the position of the tumor won't allow it. She's been going for chemo and radiation therapy for about six months now but they can only prolong her life and stop the tumor from growing any further. It hurt me the most knowing that she couldn't have the life she deserves. She can't go to college, she can't get married, she can't have kids, she can't grow old and while we go on living our lives she'll just remain a memory in our heads and our hearts. It's funny the way life and death works, they always take away the good ones.
I snap out of my thoughts as I hear a loud shriek from Tara.
"Alex.Stop.Tickling.Me" she says giggling in between every word.
Alex continues to poke her stomach. "I'll stop only if you say 'Oh the almighty,all-knowing, smart and sexy Alexander Stewart, please have mercy on me'."
"NO! I'll never say that." Tara says still giggling uncontrollably.
"Are you denying the fact that I'm sexy? You know you want some of this babe," Alex says gesturing to himself.
"Were you born like this, or did you have to study to become such a spectacular asshole?" Tara asked.
"I'm an asshole. Your asshole," Alex says with a cocky smirk.
