»It's okay« | Chandler Riggs

Chapter 1

It was the first day of summer, which means: Holiday, Freedom, long nights, brighter days and no school.
I was so happy, because the Junior Year was exhausting and after summer the Senior year will getting even worse, so I really needed a break from it all.
I didn't knew that I would be so wrong with that...

I threw my backpack in the corner of my room and then layed down on my bed, shortly after to get my phone out and scroll through Instagram.
The first post on my feed, showed me a picture of Chandler and his new ,,pretty" girlfriend Harleen, then one of him on the red carpet.
I sighed, putting my phone back to my side and staring at the ceiling.
It annoyed me and made me sad at the same time that my best friend now lived a life outside of our friendship, although I was not even sure if we were still friends at all?
Since Chandler was with Harleen and got the role in this popular show, I was invisible to him.
I was always there for him, we were inseparable, but now? Now he didn't even had the time to text me back.
Luckily I still had James, my gay best friend and Anne, my girl best friend.
Without these two, I wouldn't have been so strong when Chandler got together with Harleen, because secretly I had been in love with him for a very long time, but I never had the courage to tell him, and now it was too late: My best friend gave his heart to a girl who was just looking for his fame.
He wouldn't listen to me neither, because he really seemed in love with this girl.
The first time I met her, she was directly unsympathetic to me, and not just because she was with the boy I was in love with, but because she played a wrong game, I noticed that immediately.

Suddenly, I was startled as the door to my room opened. Anne peeked out from behind the door and I was relieved that I was no longer alone with my thoughts.
"Hey, Anne, let me guess, Kyle let you in?" I asked her with a grin.
Kyle was my big brother and unlike my parents, he didn't call upstairs when my friends came to visit me.
"Yup, he's going to work now, I should tell you that"
she said, closed the door and came to me, sat down on my bed and looked at me.
Her long, blonde hair fell over her shoulders in curls, while my ginger hair just hung down boringly on my head.
I was always jealous of Anne's beautiful hair.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" she asked and I looked confused at her.
"What do you mean?"
I asked back, whereupon Anne sighed and looked at me diagonally.
"It's because of Chandler, isn't it?"
I shrugged my shoulders and then looked away from her.
Anne put her hand on mine and said:
"Hey, if he doesn't see how great you are, then he doesn't deserve you."
I knew she just wanted to cheer me up, but it didn't helped.
"It's not that easy ... I always have to remember that.. if I would have told him that I love him, maybe everything would have turned out differently..."
I admitted and then played on the hem of my blanket.
"But it's to late..."
I whispered.
"I don't think so, One day he will realize that Harleen is a bitch. " Anne lifted my chin so I had to look at her again. "And now stop being so sad, it's summer, we should go out and having fun!"
I smiled gently and nodded "Yes you are right" Anne grinned and then got up from my bed, she handed me her hands, which I took in mine and let her pull me up.
"I already told James that we're meeting at Starbucks."
I nodded and quickly pulled on another top, checked my look in the mirror and quickly grabbed my bag. Then I turned to Anne and said: "Okay, let's go."
