It's Complicated

Perfect.

Oliver dropped me off at home. Kissing me goodbye I whisper,"I'll seeya later." I hop up the front porch steps that led to my house. U locking the door I call,"Mom! I'm home!" I walk through the kitchen door where Alex and my mother sat there. "Hey!" I said happily.

"Where have you been?" Alex asked.

"Oliver." I answered.

"You spent the night at a boys house?!?" My mother screeched.

"No! Yes! It's weird okay?" I sigh in frustration.

"Maybe you should tell me where you are going next time you ditch me!" Alex said angrily. She pushed herself past me and ran out the door. I chased her. She stopped in the middle of our front yard breathing heavily.

"What's wrong?" I say.

"What's wrong? Ok! I'll tell you 'What's wrong' you leave me without telling me! You never thanked me for your 'special' night! You only talk to me about Oliver! We never hang out anymore! I've been here for you this entire time! Can't you see you need no boy to be happy? Your best friend is right here! I can't believe you!"

"Well stop being so clingy! God I never stopped talking to you!" I threw my hands up in frustration,"Why can't I have a boyfriend when you don't?! Or have a couple guy friends! Look I don't need another mom! One parent is enough!" I scream.

"AT LEAST I HAVE BOTH MY PARENTS AROUND TO LOOK AFTER ME AND NOT MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A SLUT SLEEPING AT BOYS' HOUSES!" Alex yelled back. Right when those words came out she knew she'd regret them. You see my dad left me. I was 8 and he was my best friend. But he left. No calls nothing. 8 years later here I am. Tears flooded my eyes. I ran. I ran right to the waterfall.

"GAIA!" I hear Alex shout desperately calling my name.

"GAIA PLEASE I AM SO SORRY!"

I turn on my phone and text Oliver: hey @ waterfall meet me there?

I wait about a minute in silence before he texts back: ok.

"GAIA PLEASE!" I hear Alex call.

I text him a reminder: watch out for alex.

I turn the phone off and go over to the box with his belonging in it. I find the blanket and curl up in the caves darken corners. A figure stands in the light. "Oliver?" I sniffle.

"Gaia!" He said sitting next to me. "What's wrong?"

"Alex and I got into a fight."

"What happened?"

"Well I came home this morning and my mother and Alex were sitting in the kitchen waiting for me. My mother and Alex started to yell at me and I don't know. Alex said something that she knows where it hurts me the most." I explained.

"What did she say?" Oliver said wrapping an arm around me.

"She said,'at least I have both of my parents.'" I sigh.

"What do you mean?"

"Have you ever seen my dad?" I look at him.

"No."

"He left when I was 8."

"Oh I'm sorry." Oliver said quietly.

"Don't be! Look I'm 16 and I am strong enough without a fatherly figure." I say. "I already miss Alex."

Oliver only gave a small nod.

"Maybe things aren't working out..." I mutter.

"What? It's been only been a day!" Oliver said sadly.

"I already lost my moms trust and I lost my best friend! Please! You have only met my mom once and Our relationship is breaking our lives." I sigh.

"It's going to work! Please! We can meet my parents!" Oliver cried.

"Oliver-"

"Gaia, it hasn't even been 24 hours and your breaking up with me! You know what? I guess we are done!" Oliver shouts. He roughly pushes me away and leaves the cave. The next few days was in the cave.

Monday

Ugh. The alarm interrupts my dreams. I slam my hand down on the clock. I groan and climb out of bed. Last night I snuck back into the house. I climbed into my room's window. I put on my uniform. I quickly grab my things and slip out my room's window. I drop my stuff down one story. I make my jump. I land roughly and brush my self off. I pick my bag up and head for school. When I reach school Alex ignores me and Oliver ignored me as well. A couple freshman came up to me and said,"Why would you let anyone as hot as Oliver go?"

"Why would you be in this school cause obviously you girls are too stupid." I retort.

"Why are we the stupid ones? We don't loose two boyfriends and one best friend in one week." The blond one snaps.

"You two are too immature for this therefore I refuse to speak to you two." I say.

"Sorry we don't speak fuck up." The brunette said angrily. A few students heard and stopped to watch. I instantly shove the brunette against the lockers and nail her face in. He blond screams for help.

"TRISH!!!" The blond screams. This "Trish" gal is on the floor in a bloody mess. I kick and pound her insides. Eventually a few witnesses pull me back. I'm fighting to just kill Trish. Alex and Oliver are coming and don't notice the commotion. When they do Alex gasps and Oliver shakes his head. I stop fighting. I back up. Alex looks at me sadly. Not knowing what to do I panic. I sprinted home and cried myself to sleep. My mother heard my cries and hugged me. I went downstairs in the kitchen to watch the news.

"Trish DeLango is in critical condition after this morning when a junior beats her to the pulp. Here is a video of what happened." The new anchor says blankly. The video is turned on and I really did beat her to the pulp. The video is turned off and the news anchor start a little discussion. "So sad." The male news anchor says.

"Agreed. That's so disappointing to see." The female concludes. "And now for the weather!" She gave a tight lipped smile before I angrily shut the TV off. So what if I did beat her up? She did deserve it. I grabbed the car keys and drove off.
