What Would It Take For You To Change?

A Rare Love

Chapter 43

~Jenna’s POV~

The past two days have kind of just passed in a blur. I’ve been in a dream-like state for so long that I don’t know if the things I think are happening are true or not. I’ve been pretending nothing’s wrong on the outside but I’m such a mess inside. I really just miss Vic. I’ve only texted him in the past 48hours because I can’t bare to let him hear how tired and sad my voice must sound.

My mom went out of town on Tuesday...and it’s Thursday now. I think I’ve eaten 1 meal since then. I realized that I really can’t do this on my own. I’m hopeless by myself.

I am currently sitting in 3rd period, chemistry, but I honestly couldn’t tell you right now if you asked what the teacher is talking about as he stands at the front of the room. I was more fascinated in what the window had to offer. I counted the cars passing by, I was at 97 in the past 30 minutes. I couldn’t help but focus all my thoughts on wondering what each of those people in their cars were thinking. It could be anything. I also wondered where they were going, and if they were happy unlike me.

When the bell finally rang to go to last class I decided that I didn’t want to go. So I grabbed my things from my locker and left.

On my walk home I felt uncomfortably lonely, so I texted Vic, “Hey”

It didn’t talk him long to reply, it was more like an instant response like he was waiting for me to message him. “Hey Sweetie, how are you/what are you up to? J”

“I’m okay, just walking home because school just wasn’t making me happy. What are you up to?”

“Oh Jenna, all this class cutting isn’t going to help you in the future. And I’m just sitting outside waiting...”

“Waiting for what?” Me being me couldn’t handle texting and walking and I just happened to trip on the sidewalk lump. At least I was almost home, I just turned onto my street and you could see me house in the near distance.

Vic was taking is sweet-ass time replying to me about whatever the heck he is waiting for. But just when I was about to give up looking at my phone it vibrated in my hand and his name popped up. When I unlocked my phone I was so confused and excited at the same time because his response was, “You”

I was about to reply and ask what he meant by that, but when I turned onto the driveway of my house and looked at it, I saw Vic sitting on the bench by the front door smiling like an idiot. And I’m sure I was too.

“Vic?!” I yelled in confused excitement, “What are you doing here?!” I ran up to him and wrapped my arms as tightly as I possibly could around his waist.

“I just missed you too much Sweetie” He said in strangled breath, “But I’m not sure if I missed this death grip of yours” He laughed.

I quickly loosened my arms, “I’m sorry, I’ve just missed you so much.” Vic pulled away from my hug to sweetly kiss me on my lips and I quickly kissed him back.
