Goodbye Cute American Boys! Hello Sexy English Boys!
Chapter 2
We went by the quick-stop gas station and bought some chocolate ice-cream. As we were driving back to my house Elle said "You know, you just need to forget about him. Find you someone new, and move on. You know they say the best way to move on is to find someone new."
I looked at her like she was crazy. " I think it is a little early to be considering a new guy considering I have just been single about 15 minutes. I don't think I will date until I'm out of college anyway. I need to focus on my grades this year." I said turning back around in my seat, and putting my feet on the dashboard.
"Hey! Feet off the dash, and I guess your right. I mean, this is our senior year, so our grades need to be as high as possible."
"Exactly. So what movie do you want to watch when we get to my house? No love stories either!" I said looking out the window.
"Hhmm....how about The Dark Knight?" she said looking at me.
"Yeah, that sounds pretty good actually. Heath Ledger was an amazing actor." I stated
"Yeah he was great." She said looking at the road.
As we pulled into my driveway I noticed my mom's car was parked in the garage.
"I wonder why my mom is home early?" I asked looking at Elle.
"I don't know, maybe since its Friday she took off early."
We grabbed our ice cream cartons, and walked up to my house. We went inside, and I saw my mom in the kitchen. Her eyes were all red and puffy like she had been crying. This can't be good.
I rushed over to her. "Mom what is wrong?"
"Oh hey dear. Hey there Elle." She said glancing over my shoulder at Elle.
"Hey Mrs. Samuels." I looked again at my mother.
"Mom what's wrong?"
"Do you remember me talking about my friend Jennifer who lives in England?" Yes I do remember my mother talking about her, an awful lot to. I have never met her, but I know that she and my mom used to be the best of friends when the were younger. I hope nothing has happened to her it would devastate my mom.
"Yeah, I remember her. Why?" I asked looking up at her.
"Well sweetie, her mother, Louise, passed away this morning. She was like a second mother to me. She would always bake us cookies when I spent the night at Jennifer's house. She treated me like her own." She was looking back into space. She did that a lot, she would space out remembering about things. It got kind of annoying, but I was going to let her space out this time.
"Oh, I'm sorry mom." She looked down at me.
"Your father is on is way home from work. We are leaving in the morning and going to England for the funeral."
"What? Are you for real?" I asked I had never been to England before, or out of the country for that matter.
"Yes you need to pack. Since you kids have never met Jennifer or her family before we are staying two weeks." She said like she had had this planned out for months.
"Well ok. What time are we leaving tomorrow?" I asked not wanting to get up early.
"We are taking the earliest plane out of the Jackson airport, because the funeral is Sunday at 12. We are taking the 5 o'clock a.m. flight. That will get us there roughly about 2 o'clock. (A.N. I'm not exactly sure how different the time zones are between London and Mississippi so I'm not sure if this is right sorry. It doesn't make that much of a difference though. Anyways, back to the story.)
"5 o'clock! Are you kidding me! I don't want to get up that early, it is summer you know." I said dramatically.
"Awe Kenz! I'm going to miss you! What will I do for two entire weeks without you?" She said looking sad.
"Hhmm lets see..." I said scratching my chin. "Maybe hangout with your boyfriend Justin!" I said laughing at her.
"Oh that reminds me! Tell Ben that when we get back he is invited to come over for your sister's birthday party!" She said smiling at me.
I broke down crying. "Oh honey! What's wrong?" I kept sobbing.
"They broke up." Elle said to my mom. Out of the corner of my eye I could see Elle mouth 'He cheated.' to my mother, which only made me cry harder.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." My mom said hugging me.
"Come on Kenz let's go upstairs to your room." Elle said dragging me out of the room.
"Hey Elle I like your dress!" My mom said as we were leaving.
"Thank you Mrs. S!" That was so like my mom.
We walked up to my room with our ice cream.
"Oh we forgot the spoons" I said wiping the tears from my eyes.
"Oh that's okay. I will go downstairs and get them and the movie out of the hall closet. Be right back." She said walking out of my room.
I sat on my bed and dug around in my purse for my phone. I had 4 missed calls and 3 texts. They were all from an unknown number.
I looked at the calls. They were from the same unknown number. The texts were also from an unknown number. I looked at them, the first one read 'Hey babe, it's Ben. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me?' I went to the next one. 'Kenzie, please answer my calls.' the last one was received 2 minutes ago. 'Kenz, let me explain.' I kept reading the messages. Maybe it was all a misunderstanding. Elle must have read my expression because when she saw me holding my phone she said. "No, McKenzie! Give me the phone, now!"
I handed her the phone. She read the messages. "Kenzie are you really going to believe this garbage?" She glared at me.
"No. Give me the phone." She handed it to me and I turned it off and threw it on my bed.
"Okay, good. Now lets watch the movies before the ice cream becomes chocolate milk." she said putting the movie in.
We watched the movie. Elle fell asleep during the part where Harvey Dent gets saved by Batman. I'm not sure when I fell asleep, but it was some time after that.
"McKenzie wake up" Someone was shaking me. I rolled over. McKenzie Samuels get out of the bed this instant!" the voice whisper-yelled at me. I opened my eyes and standing there was none other than my mom. I looked at the clock, it read 4:00 a.m. Then, it hit me. I hadn't packed last night for a two week trip. I needed to hurry. I got out of the bed and told my mother I was going to get ready.
When she left I quickly packed all of the things I would need for two weeks. Which, by the way was a lot. I had everything packed by 4:30. We only lived about 7 minutes away from the airport. I took the quickest shower of my life, ran a comb through my hair, and applied some mascara. I wore my black skinnies, my white Vans, and a red tank top with a black bow on it.
I left Elle a note reminding her to lock the door when she left. I got all my bags, and headed out the door.
My sister, Rose, fell asleep on the way to the airport. When we got on the plain I put my headphones in, and listened to my iPod. This was going to be a long flight, and I needed to keep my mind off of Ben. I wonder if Jennifer had any kids. How awesome would it be to have a best friend that lived in England.
