What Happened to Us

Chapter 8: Nothing

~Kayla~

"And my mates are all there trying to calm me down, cause I'm shouting your name all over town"- Nothing, The Script.

-----------------------------

I came home to the smell of heaven. My mom just finished cooking and told us to get ready for dinner. Joshua came running down the stairs and sat down at the dinner table. Today was white pasta, one of my favorites. My family and I tend to eat while watching TV and today we were watching the Amazing Race.

"So were going to Griffith Park early in the morning tomorrow," I said.

"With whom?" my mom asked.

"The same old crowd. Dian, Ethan, Andrew, Alliah, and a few other people," I said leaving the fact that I'm going with some football players and cheerleaders since it doesn't really matter. If Dian and Alliah were coming with me, my parents were usually fine with it and don't question me like there's no tomorrow. "And we're probably leaving around 6:30 a.m. or something."

After eating dinner, I helped my mom clean the dishes and went to my room. I opened my Facebook account and saw a message from Andrew.

Andrew Marquez: Completely regret accepting those gummy bears that I just pooped out like 5 minutes ago.

Ew.

Kayla Smyth: That's TMI Andrew. You'll be fine.

Andrew Marquez: I hope. And by the way, you should bring a camera. In case you forget.

Kayla Smyth: Totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me! I have this weird feeling I'll forget tomorrow.

Andrew Marquez: I'll remind you tomorrow too but I gtg now. BYEEEEEE

Kayla Smyth: Okay. Buhbyeee

I woke up to the sound of the sirens passing by the neighborhood. Helicopters then followed them. Annoyed, I closed my eyes trying to get back to dreamland. Eternity seemed to pass and I am still wide awake. I tried to sleep once again and thought of something to dream about.

Jeremiah sitting next to me in the movies, us going to Barnes and Nobles and Francheska.

I sighed, opening my eyes. Everything always just seems so complicated. I decided to take my earphones out and listen to my Stupid Love Songs playlist instead. I currently have 58 songs in the playlist.

I close my eyes as "Nothing" by The Script started playing. I must admit that every time I listen to this song, I get envious of the girl who said nothing. The guy must love her so much and it's just so stupid that she let him go. The thought of him shouting her name all over town just gets me all the time. I thought of the reason why she doesn't take him back, or if she still loves him as much as he loves her. Would it be the same with the reason why I-

I shook my head and played the next song instead. The sound of an acoustic guitar started to fill my ears and I looked at my phone. 12:51-Krissy and Ericka. I downloaded this song years ago. It reminded me of the first time we met.

Freshman year - October 3

The bell rang as I hurriedly went to my locker which seemed like miles away from my first period class. I held two big books close to my chest as I closed my locker. Everyone was in a hurry to get to their classes which made the hallway really packed. Being the shortie that I am, I was getting pushed and carried away by the crowd. I looked at my watched trying to tell the time when I bumped into a hard chest which made me drop my books. I groaned in frustration knowing I only have at least two minutes left to get to class. I started to pick up my books and the guy who bumped into me did too.
