love within distance

chapter 17: new life. same feelings.

*one year later*

it's been a year since I went back to see him but didn't and over the past year I've changed. I went from being a shy insecure girl to a party all the time, crazy wild and outgoing girl. I changed in looks and attitude. no more sweats and tank tops or old worn out jeans and t shirts and no more messy buns !! now its skinny jeans or jean shorts and cute fitted tops. i don't put my hair up in messy buns any more and when I do its rare I now just straighten or curl my hair occasionally I will put my hair up in a cute little ponytail after I straighten or curl my hair first though and speaking of hair no more dirty blonde...its just blonde now after my day with Allie I decided it was time for a change what better way to start then with your hair. my attitude is what changed most though I went from shy insecure and kinda nerdy and thought of as one of the boys to a confident outgoing party girl who has a bit of a wild streak I wasn't your typical popular slutty girl no not at all I was liked but I wouldn't say I was popular and I was definitely not a slut, hell I'm still a virgin. yeah I get a little drunk and make out with guys but that's as far as I'll go...I guess you can say I'm kinda a tease....oh well. *I wanna thrill you like Michael, I wanna kiss you like prince, I wanna get it on like Marvin gay, like Hathaway write a song for you like this your over my head im out of my mind. thinkin I was born in the wrong time * my phone starts going off and I instantly knew it was my best friend Aubrey calling "hey hey hey pretty lady" I say answering the phone. "hey boo what's up...you feel like partying tonight, get the crew together and some liquor" she asks. I laugh to myself typical Aubrey always down to party but  i mean what the hell...do am I !! "hell yeah...you know I'm down girl !" I tell her excitedly, ready for tonight. Aubrey isn't just my best friend she's my cousin we're super close she's practically my sister. I don't know what I'd do without her she's helped me so much this past year its crazy ! Aubrey now she is one of those girls you instantly love she's cool, down to earth happy go lucky bubbly girl and super pretty and so damn funny but Aubrey is a bit of a bad ass too she's got the whole bad ass bitch look and attitude she's a skateboard chick and wears nothing but skinny jeans and band t shirts with her vans...always ! and her hair well she's constantly dying it, it was red but now its aqua blue Aubrey is definitely one of a kind that's for sure but I wouldn't trade her for the world she's my ride or die girl...my partner in crime she always has my back no matter what and vice versa....Aubrey she's my girl..my bestest friend ! "you gonna invite Brandon to come chill with us ?" Aubrey asks in a teasing tone I can practically feel her smirking through the phone. "maybe... depends are you gonna invite waide to come chill with us?" I reply back using the same tone of voice as her, having my own smirk come upon my face. waide is Aubrey's boyfriend, they've been dating for about 6 months now and they are so cute together...they are like the perfect skater couple cus aside skateboards as well that's how the met was through boarding, Aubrey was trying a new board trick but was having trouble she wound up falling just as waide was fixing to ride by he stopped instantly to help her up and make sure she was alright then they got to talking he helped her land the trick and to thank him Aubrey gave him her number and the rest is history...its a cute story if you think about it....she landed the trick but he landed the girl. hahaha pretty cliché right ? but in a way kinda perfect. being honest though seeing how cute they are makes me think if that's how me and nick would have looked like as a couple, so cute and perfect for each other? thinking about it though makes me upset I missed my chance it also makes me mad cus that's probably how nick and Jasmine looked like...all lovey dovey ughh makes me mad I should have been his girl..I was his girl, not her!! trying to push the thoughts of my past in the back of my mind. I try to pay attention to Aubrey "um Kristen?" aub asks sounding confused. "hmm" I reply back. "were you not listening to me I've been trying to get your attention for like 5 minutes now...you alright?" she asks  me with worry in her voice. "oh yeah sorry aub I'm fine...just got lost in thought but what were you saying?" I ask a bit embarrassed I spaced out like that. "I was saying you should come over to my house now and we can all get ready together....the guys will be over soon with the drinks" she informs me. "k cool...I'll leave now" I tell her before hanging up the phone.
