A Midnight Stroll

A Midnight Stroll chp. 17

CHAPTER 17!!!!!!!!

I ran to my car almost blinded by my tears. How would you feel if the man you love is kissing another girl!!! It tore my heart out! I got in the car and started the engine almost not able to see where I was going. When I got home, I ran up to my room and shut the door, I didn't care if no one was home, I collapses on my bed and started to scream cry. Eventually, I cried myself to sleep. I woke up about two hours later and got up to go to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror, my face was red and puffy and my eyes looked bloodshot. I started to cry again. I didn't know why I was taking this so hard, Tiffany already did so many other bad things to me, this was just another to add to the list. I wouldn't let this ruin my life, I would simply get over this and move on, sure I was giving up the most important thing in life but I would find happiness somewhere else right? I sighed. I decided to take a jog around the neighborhood to get my mind off of things. I went and changed into some sweats and grabbed my IPod. As I left the house and turned on my IPod, I started to run. I ran two miles and stopped to rest at a tree. I looked around the neighborhood; it was covered in tons of palm trees and big houses. It wasn't that far away from the beach we lived by. One of the houses looked familiar but I couldn't remember why. Finally after about ten minutes, I got up and walked over to the house. I walked up to the porch and rang the doorbell, it was almost three. To my surprise, Chase answered the door, I'd been to her house before but not that often, usually I went over to Drew's house. Think of him brought tears to my eyes.

"Hey Amy, what are you doing her"

"I was out for a jog, I forgot you lived here"

"Oh, so you just walked up to a random house and rang the doorbell" she said laughing

"No" I choked out, "I knew the house looked familiar, I just didn't remember it was yours" I was on the verge of tears again. Quit it Amy, you are strong, you

don't need him.

"Are you ok? You look like you're about to cry" she said looking concerned. I lost it. I started bawling my eyes out again. She pulled me into a hug. "It's ok,

don't cry" she said stroking my back. "Come on, come inside" she pulled me inside the house and closed the door. She dragged me over to the couch and

sat me down. "Now, tell me, what's wrong?" I kept crying for a few minutes before I finally calmed myself down enough to stop. She was staring at me.

"I...I went over to Drew's house this morning"

"So, what happened, did you two get into a fight?"

"N... No, I walked onto his room and..."

"Oh gosh, he wasn't naked was he!?!"

"No, No, nothing like that" I said giving out a small laugh but immediately getting sad again

"Well then, what was it?"

"He, he"

"Come on, spit it out"

"He was laying under Tiffany kissing her" I said and burst out sobbing again

"Bitch" she mumbled and pulled me into another hug, "I would tell you everything's going to be ok but I don't know if I can say that" she said looking at me

sadly

"I know, don't worry, I'm going to move on, Tiffany has done to many other bad things to me and I shouldn't let this bother me"

"Ok, if that's what you're going to do then I proud of you" I gave her a faint smile. "Do you want me to call Kyle?" I sniffed and nodded.

"I'll be right back" she said while pulling out her phone and walking away. I could hear her talking but I couldn't make out the words. The one thing I could her

was Kyle shouting 'HE DID WHAT!' it made me laugh slightly but didn't cheer me up. Chase walked back into the room.

"He's on his way" I sighed

"Did he say anything at school?"

"No but he was walking around all day with a concerned look on his face and he avoided us all day"

"Oh, well I guess you and Kyle were grateful for the time alone" I said giving out a light laugh. She bit her lip and smiled and I slapped her arm.

"Ouch, that hurt" she said faking pain while rubbing her arm

"Ha ha, very funny"

"I know right?" she said with a mischievous smile. Just then, the doorbell rang. "I'll get it!" she chirped.

"Of course you will" I mumbled. I heard the door open and Kyle walk in. It got quiet and I looked over to see Chase and Kyle Kissing. I immediately started

crying, I don't know why.

"Aww shit, sorry Amy" said Kyle and walked over to the couch to sit by me. He gave me a hug and I cried into his chest. It felt a little weird but I didn't care, he

was one of my best friends.

"Are you ok?" he asked

I sat up and wiped the tears off of my face. "Yea, I think so"

"I brought you something" he said holding up a bag

"What?" I asked not really caring

"Ice cream!" he shouted like a girl and pulled out a half gallon of mint chip. Chase giggled.

"Thanks but I'm not really in the mood"

"Suit yourself" he said and went to go put the ice cream in the freezer, he came back and sat back down next to me. "Don't worry, I kick him in the balls for

you" he said smiling. I laughed

"Thanks"

"My pleasure"

"So what do you want to do" Chase asked

"I don't know, just something to get Drew out of my mind"

"Well, we could go back to your house and go swimming" said Kyle

"Sure, that sounds like fun" I said standing up, "So do you guys want to jog back with me or should we take Kyle's car?" I said tapping my chin

"I vote car" said Kyle raising his hand up and running to the door. We laughed and followed him. When we got back to my house, me and Chase went up to

my room to change while Kyle went to the spare room. We walked into my room and over to my closet. Chase gasped.

"Dang, I forgot how big your closet is" she said looking around in awe. I laughed and walked over to one of the dressers and threw her a bikini. I chose a

black one for her and a blue and white stripped one for me. We changed and I threw on a pair of white board shorts on top, Chase slipped on the pair of

shorts she was already wearing. We walked out of my room and I grabbed three towels from the closet. We walked downstairs where Kyle was sitting on the

couch. He turned around and his eyes grew wide as he looked at Chase. She blushed.

"Damn you look hot" he said walking over to her. She giggled. I threw their towels at their faces and ran out the back door to the beach. I dropped my stuff and

ran over to the water. I slumped onto the sand and put my head between my legs. This was useless, I was never going to get over him, but I couldn't stand

that that slut won him over me. I started to cry but I was out of tears, I just looked out to sea thinking of all of the things I was going to miss about him.
