Just another love story

So close to Summer

So it goes every year my school has an annual lagoon day where the whole school goes to lagoon an amusement park in SLC. It will be my third year going, this year, I will be going with my best friends and my boyfriend, Justin Cole. Justin and I have been dating for six months now. Things were going really well.... Until I met Cache.. His best friend.

I sat down in class next to Hannah.

She's my best friend. I look at her "what's the assignment?" I ask her.

Then I'm cut off by my teacher.

"Late again Brianna?"

"Yes, Mrs. Tanner. I'm sorry."

"Sorry does not change you being late." The whole class turns to me waiting for a response. I usually have good comebacks but I just slouch in my seat as Hannah passes me a note with the assignment on it. Class goes on and I stare at the clock. The five minute bell rings and everyone starts packing their things. I smile at Hannah. "Tomorrow's lagoon day!" I hear Garrett yell from the front of the room. He's one of the most popular kids in the 9th grade. The bell rings and I go into the hallway. I push my way through the crowds of people and finally get to my locker. I throw my stuff in and grab my backpack. I see Justin walking towards me. I smile at him. He walks up and hugs me. "How was your day?" He asks looking at me with his ocean blue eyes. I look into his eyes for a minute. "Good!" I say smiling. Then I decide to run to my bus as I hop on my bus driver greets me. I smile at him and go to the back of the bus. I sit next to Dax, he's been my friend since the 3rd grade. He smirks at me and says "well how are you and Justin?" I smile as a reply. Dax wraps his arm around me and says "you're still young Brianna cherish it, you may think you're in love but there are still other guys. Ones who are better for you." I just nod and lie my head on his shoulder. I think about his words and in no time it's my bus stop. I say bye to Dax and get off the bus. I start to walk home but his words echo in my mind. "Ones who are better for you. Cherish it" I just shake it off and put on my headphones. The song human by Christina Perri comes on. I sing along to it and turn to my driveway. I go inside and my brother is already home. "Hey Bri, how was school? How's Justin?"

"Good, good." I reply and run up to my room."

I write in my journal

"Things are good today, I just think that maybe Dax is right. There are better guys out there. Justin has been different lately. I think I'm gonna go over to his house later. Around 7:00. Love, Brianna."

I look at the clock 6:30. I put on a red silk dress that is tight fit and goes to my mid thigh. I do my makeup and hair nicely. I smile in the mirror, satisfied with my appearance. I click a couple selfies and post one on Instagram captioned "going to Justin's <3"

I walk downstairs and look at the clock, anticipating. It's 6:45 I ask my brother to drive me to Justin's. He nods grabs the keys and walks out. I walk outside. I jump in the car, look in the small mirror, and then look out the window most the time we are driving. My brother pulls up to Justin's and I jump out. I walk up to the door and am about to knock when I hear Justin inside talking to someone. I listen

"Justin stop it." I hear a girl say in a giggly voice.

I hear Justin laughing. I look in the window and see him tickling a girl. At first I say it's just nothing, their friends. Then he kisses her, my mouth drops and I just decide to turn around and go home. My brother has already left so I'm walking. I walk along the sidewalk tears stream down my face, a car pulls up next to me. I look and then the window rolls down. Cache looks out at me and says "Aww now Brianna, what's wrong?" I just shake my head and start to run on the sidewalk away from the car. He pulls up beside me again. "What do you want Cache?" I say through gritted teeth and tears. "Get in!"

"What?!"

"Get in Brianna"

I hop in the car and look at Cache, he looks back at me and says "now what's wrong?"

"I went to Justin's house, I saw him kissing another girl."

"Dammit, I swear that guy can't be faithful for one moment."

I just frown and then Cache says after a few minutes of silence "Okay, so you want to go home?"

I nod and wipe away some of the tears. I look in the mirror and fix my makeup, then try to smile again. Cache looks at me "I'm sorry Brianna." I just glance at him and then I start to cry again. He pulls in front of my driveway, he gets out of the car. He walks over and opens my door. I get out and look into his eyes, he looks back at me. We lean in towards each other, I just back up and shake my head. "I'm sorry, I can't."

"It's okay Brianna."

He pulls me into a tight hug and then I walk up to my door. He watches me till I get in then he pulls away. I realize I'm the only one home, I grab a piece of pizza out of the fridge, leftovers from last night and put it in the microwave. Then my phone buzzes, I look and it's a text from Justin

"Hey baby :*"

I just stare at my phone and reply

"Hey"

The microwave beeps and I get the pizza sit at the table and turn on the TV. I go through the channels and finally find the vampire diaries. My favorite TV show. I bite into the pizza, it's so good. I've been starving almost all day. I hear my phone buzz again I reach over and grab it. It's Justin.

"I miss you baby."

I shrug and then type

"Miss you more."

I set my phone back down on the table. I watch TV for about another half hour or so then decide to call my brother.
It rings about three times.

"Hello?"

"Hey it's ness."

"Oh hey ness, what's up?"

"Nothing. where are you?"

"Coming home now. Pulling into the drive way, see you in a minute."

The line goes dead. I check to see if Justin has texted back. Nothing. My brother walks through the door. He tosses me something in a small gift bag. I catch it, and open it up, inside is a small chain silver bracelet with a wolf charm on it. I look at my brother, smile, then get up and hug him. I thank him and tell him I'm tired so I'm gonna get to bed. I put the little bracelet back in its bag and clean up my mess, then head up to my room.

I write in my diary "Today wasn't the best but its okay life has its ups and downs. I have to accept that, I guess. I have a hope that things will be better tomorrow. Best thing that happened today my brother gave me a silver charm bracelet with a wolf on it. But anyways it's late, I'm going to bed. Love, Brianna."
