Thick Thighs Save Lives

Chapter 18- Relations of the past

I'm sorry.

I've been out for a long time, I've been really busy due to marching band. We never get any breaks off and this is the first weekend that I've had to really write and upload, I'm really sorry.

This chapter is short, but the next two chapter have a pretty long backstory. I'll be posting those soon too, but on separate days.

Please forgive me!

Also we hit 600 readers!!

Thank y'all so much!

Why is he here?

I sat in my seat waiting for him to walk his crusty, dusty self over to me, and trust me he was walking pretty slow. So me being me, I was super annoyed by it. "Why aren't you at school?" He asked ever so proudly. "Shouldn't I be asking you the same question, dickwad!" I said the last part under my breath.

He sighed and sat down in front of me.

Ugh. Did I tell him he could sit right there? No!

"Look Vanya I know-he sighs- we've had our difficulties, but-" I scoffed at him as he was trying to finish his heart to heart "talk" about how he was the victim in this situation, but who was the one that was scarred. Oh right, me!

"There is no 'but' Alex. We did not have difficulties, you did. Do not say that all my rudeness had been for not because you don't know how hard I've tried for you to not get inside my head or break me even more than I've already been. I said it multiple times and I'll say it many more times. Leave. Me. Alone!"

I walked out the café leaving my coffee behind with that selfish jerk. I walked to the car, opening it and getting inside. Then starting it before I made my way to my secret hideout.

I drove down to my street and glanced at the upcoming houses that were in view. A cold, disgusting shiver ran down my spine when I saw my old rickety crack of a house pass me by in the distance.

So many disturbing events had been done and said in that house. I really don't ever want to go back there.

I drove further down until I was met by tons of trees and bushes.

This was the place where my soul had died and all hope was lost for me. I attempted a suicide at this location a long time ago.

But that was then and this is now.

I stepped out of the car slowly, closing the door behind me and locking the door before I walked off towards the cliff. Stepping through tough branches and thick leaves that fell from trees to the forest floor, I inched my way closer to the place that was all well to familiar to me.

I took long strides to the destination, my mind was clear, the only thing that kept me afloat was my feet knowing where the woods would take us to the end.

I stopped.

I glanced around at the green pasture and dozens of rocks that were strewn about randomly on the ground. Making my way, I walked towards the end of the grass path that lead to a rocky one. I slowed down to a steady stop and peered out to the vastness of emptiness ahead of me.

I fell to my knees and cried my heart out. I screamed and shouted to no one that was in the misty air ahead of me. No one ever heard me, I know for a fact. I've been coming here since my dad died and when Alex did what he did.

I sat on the rocky ground crossed legged, calming down from the stinging in my eyes, which slowly made its way to my head. I closed my eyes, listening intensely to the wind howling and flaps of flutter from the birds.

I thought back to those days, the days where my life changed forever.

As I said before I'm really sorry.

I'm still going to busy. School is Wednesday and I still have band before that but I'll try to update.

Thanks for all the votes and reads! I really appreciate it.

Love y'all.
