How Far? (Book l)

Part 6: "Uhh hey!"

We made our exit out of class I couldn't help but question "Where's Tash?" "She got up and rushed out during your little argument!" said hersh wrapping his arm around my shoulder "You didn't even need my help. But seriously she glanced at her phone before she rushed out. Not to mention the whole night at my place she was distracted with her phone!" hersh eyes grew with excitement "Let's Hack it." "No hersh it could never be that serious. I hope not."No hersh it could never be that serious." he mocked. "You're annoying!" I said reaching for my phone. "Welp I better get going, I'm on at the burger joint Ill stop by your place later?"  "Yeah that's fine, go flip them burgers hersh!" I yelled down the hallway. " I wish it was me that was getting flipped sis!" hersh responded.  I was weak at his response, how could he not be my favorite person in the world! I glanced at my phone for any missed calls or messages. I had been calling my mom allday. Still no response. Now annoyed once again I threw my phone in my purse and looked up to see chris blocking path. "What was that about?" Trying to move around him while he constantly block my escape routes I had no choice but to respond. " Why do you care? besides it was about history!" "Whatever you got against her let it go. What we we had is old get over it." "Wow chris your first day back and you think I dug up some feelings for you? I been over it 3 years ago! You're the one bringing me up!" I prepared myself to walk off once again  he reached out grabbing my jacket pulling back in with force . His eyebrows lowered and smirk disappeared "I'm not the same person 3 years ago. You keep picking at her you're going to get what you're asking for." he leaned in closer "Don't let it get to that." "Is there a problem Chris?" said Briana coming to his aid. "Is it?" replied Tash appearing from the bathroom once again."Because I would hate to drag a bitch on this good tuesday!" All I could do was glare at Chris I couldn't believe him. The audacity he had."There isn't one!" I said continuously staring at Chris. Can we go!" I turned to Tash she wrapped her arm around me and we begginned to walk down what felt like the longest hall ever at the moment. Questions filling up my head along the way. How could he say that to me? I focused on the floor to keep Tash from staring but she saw me anyways "Aww you loved him" said tash hugging me tighter she knew Chris just about as long as I did. She knew of every little thing I did for him.  The times her and Hersh would lie to my parents about my whereabouts just so Chris and I could hang together. I did love him. Tash took one glance at her phone and dipped  "I have to go! I'll see you back at the house!" "Who are you ridin-" "I have to go! " I watched as she ran full speed  down the hallway. Who was she texting and why they did they gain her full attention every time they messaged her? Not to mention I was in the midst of a breakdown and she left. . I drove the short distance home listening to music that only saddened my mood.

I pulled into the familiar home, I saw my mom creamed bmw parked in the driveway with her personalized tag , right along with a red camry. "whose car is this?" I thought. I sat in the car to clear my face I didn't feel like explaining what was wrong with, me. Parents don't understand at times well my parents don't. A few minutes after I got myself together I headed up the steps that guarded the front door. I reached for the doorknob but the door opened from the inside..It was my mom standing there with swollen puffy eyes "Hey baby."' she forced out as if she hasn't been ignoring my text and calls.  I could tell something was wrong she had been crying. She stood to the side and watched as this tall figure appeared to make their exit."Ohh hope this is Dr. Carson my old colleague she was stopping by for a chat! That's where I knew her from. My mom mentioned her name a few times in the past, but also this was the same doctor Tash had named . What did she just tell my mom? But before my mom declared  me being rude I responded "Uhh hey!"
