Chasing Stars: part of the Chasing Forever series: Book 3

Chapter 27 Adjustments

Kendra's P.O.V.

we spent Christmas together. Mom, dad, the boys, Michelle, Lilly, Chell parents and I. Later on Alison and Aria came by but it wasn't a very happy time.

I was looking forward to the boys coming out but i wasn't as exited as Michelle. And when she heard they weren't coming she was devastated!

She spent the past two days crying and moping around my house!

I guess she can though! she hasn't seen her husband in almost seven months!

And i haven't heard from Tiana in a week! i know she's at home a crying over Zayn but she won't answer her phone or reply to any my texts!

I missed them too but i just deal with it! i have four kids to look after so therefor i have two jobs. one at Wall-Mart and the other McDonald's!

Not exactly what i want to be doing with my life but i make money, so i can pay the bills and feeds my kids so i put up with it!

We have had to make so sacrifices though. we don't get any T.V. channels any more! we don't have internet and we can't leave anything on while we're not in the room and if the kids want something special they have to buy it them selfs!

Anyway my point is, i don't have time to be sad.

But Allie! she seemed so lost without Louis!

Louis changed her! well thats what her parents and Aria say!

The girls come around to see us once in awhile.

Emma has been going to physical therapy and shes getting better...slowly. but she's so negative towards the chair so she's not working as hard as i know she could! it just makes me sad to see her so unhappy.

Her grads are dropping, she doesn't talk to Charlie anymore and she's in her room all day.

We should be used to the lonely feeling by now but i guess we're not.

And the icing on our little cake of misery is that none of us have heard from Jenna in a year! i know it's getting to Louis again and Owen is getting worse and worse everyday! thats probably playing a part in Emma and Michelle's sadness too!

But why now?! why all of a sudden are we're all upset?! she's been gone for almost five years! why are our lives being affected now?!

Because Chasing Forever's birthday is coming up!

Thats right! eighteen years ago or so Chasing Forever was created in our grade seven classroom with a beet up old piano sitting in front of three best friends with big dreams!

But now theres only two of us left and one of us is depressed! so it's only me.

There is some good news though!

We've received sighting of Jenna in L.A., New York, Las Vegas and California!

She's been all over the states!

I'm just happy she's safe!

Liam's P.O.V.

i'm the only one who not depressed!

Harry's sad about Amber and he stays in his room all day! i have to take his food to him because he won't come down stairs!

Louis misses Owen, the girls and Jenna! He just walks around the house with a sad expression across his face!

Niall wants to see Lilly and Michelle and i'm sure they want to see him too! He also won't come out of his room but the bad thing is he won't eat, he hardly sleeps and he won't shower!

Zayn wants to see Tiana so badly! even though they broke up he still loves her! they tried so hard to stay together but they couldn't! but it's hurting them both so much more now!

I have no reason to be depressed over not going to Canada. Well not being able to see Kendra.

we broke up because we knew we wouldn't make it! and as much as i would like to call her mine i know we still wouldn't be able to do the long distance relationship thing!

she's not ready to start dating again! i know that! not because shes not over me or Harry. because she has four kids still living with her and she had to send her daughter half way across the world! her ex came back and started beating her and Emma got put in a wheel chair because of it! she has two jobs now and she's still struggling to pay her bills and feed her kids!

We've tried to give her money but she refuses to take it and when she found out Harry gave Emma money for her van she was pissed!

I still love her with all my heart and i would do anything to make her situation and life better.

But i would never tell Sophia that!

I walked into the living room and sat next to Sophia.

"How are they?!" she asked "better today" i sighed leaning back on the couch.

"Liam this isn't your fault" she reassured "i know...i just wish i could do something" i sighed "you can't" she said turning her body towards me and putting both my hands in hers. "So stop trying" she smiled sympathetically and i smiled back.

Just then Ronny started crying.

I got up but Sophia pushed me back on the couch.

"I'll deal with her! you sit!" she instructed and i smiled.

I watched her walk out of the room.

She cares about me and my friends a lot! Other than Kendra she is the only girl who would tell me what to do!
