----Ellie----
That night mom was working late at the hospital, so like the great big sister I am, I made sure to order preston's favorite wings from "B-Dubs." God I feel so bad for him, Preston and dad were as close as brothers. Every evening Dad was home and not out of town they would go on runs together laughing, competing, talking, living.. Well now Preston runs alone every evening at eight o'clock sharp, just like dad was never gone. Sometimes I see his eyes gloss up as he walks out the back door and I just want to tell him that everything will okay, that maybe Dad will come back tomorrow or in a week. But I don't because I know as well as he and Mom do that dad is not coming back, that this is what the rest of our lives will be like, and that Preston is, at seventeen, only one year younger than I am. So I call up Buffalo Wild Wings and make my order. Hanging up the phone I call up to preston's room that "I'm leaving to pick up dinner! Be back in a few," and run out the door.
On the drive over to pick up the wings my cell started ringing so I picked it up just in case it was important. After saying hello in the fakest happy voice in all of history Hayley's voice came on the other line chipering,
"Hey babe! What are you up to?"
"Well i'm picking up wings for dinner, why?" I responded trying my best to not distracted while driving.
"Okay well Courtney and I will be at yours in an hour to eat and sleep over! So get ready because we are going to stay up all night doing girl stuff. Oh! I hope got ectra wings haha. See ya in a few girl!"
With that Hayley hung up the phone leaving me hope I did order extra wings..
I decided to call Buffalo Wild Wings again and add to my order just in case there wasn't enough. I'll probably run by the market to pick up the girls favorite coffee mix, if we actually were staying up all night, or at least most of it, we will definitly need that energy tomorrow morning for school. Pulling up to resturant I park my vintage forest green mustang and walk towards the door. Just as I was about to open the heavy door a group of five boys, all of whome i've never seen before, barged out laughing pushing eachother around. One of boys who had blonde hair poofed infront smiled at me and held the door open saying hello. Shyly I looked towards the ground then up again responding "Hi, umm thanks." The mystery boy just stood there for a few seconds longer than he should holding my gaze, opening his mouth he was about to speak again but one iof his friends yelled accross the parking lot, "let's go Romeo!" The interuption caused us both to laugh nervously and recite in unison "right, well bye" before walking off in oppisite directions. Obviously the recent events left in a daze. If a cute guy held the door open for you and stood there gawking while you where worried about your brother and whether he would run tonight or just play video games wouldn't you? So as I told the guy at the counter the name of my order the one detail I did not seem to catch right away was that this "guy" was Cameron Dallas. After distractingly saying "The names Ellie" my eyes seemed to focus back into reality but at the same time my tongue clamed up because this was Cameron look-into-my-eyes-and-melt-Dallas.
"Oh, hey Cameron. I didn't notice it was you." He looked me up and down for a second before smirking with a reply.
"Wow, i'm actually offended. You didn't notice me standing here flirting with you only to be emmbaressed because I'm not breath taking enough to be remembered? That hurts Ellie."
I had no idea what to say, Cameron claims to have been flirting with and i'm standing here zoning out about a blonde boy i'll never see again and whether or not Preston will continue to run at eight o'clock like Dad is still here somewhere. Cameron is the last thing I need in my life. He is a bad distraction, a player that only wants to score a goal so let me tell you that I am not interested. Or at least that's the story i'm sticking with. "Well, players are not really my type so I try and steer clear, but i'll see you around." Before he could respond I smirked a little, winked, spun around on my heels, grabbed my food bag, and walked off towards the door.
