Hold On Tight

Chapter 28

Emily POV
A few months passed. The situation with my mom is getting worse and worse. I can't leave her no matter what she say. I have to tell Troy about how I can't come up there. And it will most likely be our last conversation. I don't want to drag him into my mess. But maybe I can finally tell him how I feel. I took my phone out and clicked on his name. The phone began to ring and after every ring I started to get more nervous.

"Hello. Emily it's been a while how are you?" He asked hearing his words warmed my heart.

"Troy I- I have to tell you something." I said chocking on my words.

"Are you okay? Something seems wrong." He could always seem to know when something was wrong.

As I was beginning to speak I heard a girl or girls voices.

"Come on Troy."

"Yeah come on before we're late."

"Okay. Okay give me a second. Emily are you still there? Emily?"

"Yeah. I'm still here." I said almost in a whisper. It couldn't be jealously right? Then why did my attitude change after hearing they're voice.

"Emily." He called out.

"I was just calling to make sure that you were fine. And that I decided not to move to California. And that this should probably be our last conversation." I was speaking so fast so he wouldn't be able to tell that I was crying. I've become just a crybaby lately.

"What Emily-"

I interrupted him before he could say something.

" Troy thank you for everything until now. And I-ii I'm glad I met you." I hung up the phone and powered it off. I probably made a big mistake but he'd probably be best off without me.

Troy POV
I called her more times but it continued to go to voicemail.

"What the hell just happened?"

"Troy is everything fine?" Mira asked placing a hand on me.

"No. No it's not I have to step out for a minute." I stepped out side and made a phone call.

"Hello. Trey?"

"What's up bro?"

"Have everything been okay with Emily?" He stayed quiet and it started to frustrate me.

"Trey. Answer me god damnit!" I shouted so loud that the others inside probably heard me.

"She didn't want me to tell you anything. But to answer your question no. No she is not all right. She's been struggle and going threw a lot over here. She didn't want to bother you with her problems. You know for a best friend you can be a sorry excuse for one." He spat out.

"What did you say?" I made the anger in my voice known.

"You heard me." He simply said.

"How the hell was I suppose to know Trey! Was I just suppose to guess she was going through something?!" I tried to defend myself.

"See that's the bullshit I'm talking about right there. When was the last time you checked up on here? When was the last time you visited her? I honestly don't know what she sees in you." He hung up and left me standing there pissed off angry and sad. Because what he said was the truth. I know she needs me but I'm doing nothing about it. I rushed back inside to tell the others that I had to leave.

"Leave and go where?" Rose asked and the others was waiting for my answer.

"I'm going back to Ohio I'll be back in a few days." I left to go home to pack without saying anything else.

....

"Mom I'm done packing and I should be back before the break is over." I told here dragging my stuff down stairs.

"Okay. Honey be safe and are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself?"

"Yes Mom I'm sure." I hugged her and turned to Bruce.

"Here you go and if you need us just call I'll be right up there." He said handing me the passport.

I gave him a quick hug too. "Thanks." I took the passport and left. Next stop the airport. When I got there I was surprised to see a group of people waiting for me.

"Hey man we had to see you off." Jake said pulling me into a hug.

After hugging and saying my goodbye to everyone my plane was called on the intercom.

"That's me you guys try to be good without me." Mira hugged me again.

"We'll be right here when you get back." She said before letting go. I smiled wave and went to board the plane.

The plane took off into the air. Emily we have a lot of talking to do when I get to you. I went to sleep and by the time I wake up I should be there. Back to my home Ohio.
