6 Years later and Amanda is 16.
I let my long blonde hair wrap around me like a jacket on this cool February morning. I have on my ripped jeans and warm white and grey sweeter with my black beanie. I am getting Elliot into the car as he is so excited for school, like usual. He's only in 1st grade so it's easy for him. He just turned 6 because I am only 9 years and 11 months older than him but my birthday is a three days away. Lauren walks outside to wave goodbye as Jacob happily walks to his BMW to go to work. He's a lawyer and Lauren is a nurse. I call Lauren mom at home when Elliot could walk up at any moment or Jacob because I don't want him to know that Lauren isn't my real mom just yet but he knows Jacobs not our dad because Jacob told him that our real dad (Drake) committed suicide... That is not true at all. Jacob killed him or so he says. Lauren doesn't believe that Drake is dead and I don't either but I mean it has been 6 years and nothing from him at all.. I drive Elliot to the elementary school and he gives me a big kiss on the cheek and I squeeze him as hard as I can as if I'm scared I'll lose him like I did Drake. What am I saying I am terrified. Everyday I feel like he could disappear at any moment, be taken by someone.. I drive up to the high school and Amanda and Jessie run up to me to ask if Jake was lying about the tattoo I have on my right leg. My birthday is on the 18 of February so I'll be 17. I'm a junior so..
"No girls he was not lying my dad took me to get it."
"Well what is it of Allison!!"
"It's in the shape of an infinity sign but it's made out if words. It says "You were always there for me but I need you here now and you probably don't remember me.."
"Wow deep. Is it about the famous Louis in your locker that you constantly have around your chain!!!"
"Amanda shut up! I don't care if he is some famous rock star or in some boy band. He was my best friend and he probably doesn't even know who I am. I've been to all of his concerts and not once has he seen me.."
"Probably because you dyed your hair blonde and it's not that purplish color it use to be."
Jessie had a point. I had changed a lot. I have a cross tattoo behind my right ear and a nose piercing the hoop one. I had another tattoo in my left wrist that was a map of the world and from my shoulder down my left arm was roses. I really missed Louis but I didn't have the guts to talk to him. He doesn't need me and my problems. I just wonder if we could be best friends again.
"Nice shoes cutie."
Oh there goes jake commenting on my combat boots again.
"You always say something about them!!" I pushed him a little as we walked to class. Jake has been my boyfriend for a year now. My family loves him and I think my dad (Jacob) only likes him because I never talk about the past and I never tell my friends about my past.. Not one person knows but me and Lauren of course. I am about to enter the building when I feel eyes on me. I turn around quickly and I notice someone slide behind the tree but before I have the nerve to walk over there, Jake pulled me in the school.
"You can't skip again."
"I wasn't I saw someone looking at me or us or maybe Amanda or Jessie but they are behind that tree over there..."
Before I got to finish we all four saw a guy in a hoodie run off campus and up the street.
"I TOLD YOU!!" I yelled a little too loud... Everyone was looking at me.
"Jake wrapped him arm around me and kissed my cheek.
"He's probably some guy ditching." Yeah he's right. Kids here do that all the time.
