Moving On

Chapter 6 "Meeting Drake...Again"

I walked down the isle of headstones and read each one. I knew where hes was but  fro some odd reason I liked to read each one on the way. The sun was beating down and I was hot. I was wearing jeans and a hoodie? I don't know why but I really never wear anything else.

I reached his grave and I just stared at it. I didn't feel like approaching it and I really didn't have a reason. Soon enough I walked over and knelled down and laid a single rose. Every time Jason and I went on a date, he would give me a single red rose. I thought maybe I should return the favor. I started to cry. I felt as if I couldn't even feel him anymore around me, like he never existed...

I got up and turned to walk away, when I saw him. It was Drake! He was standing by a grave not to far from me. I felt as I should talk to him because he looked ready to cry and I do have a crush on him. I walked over...

Me: Hi.

He turned around and a very surprised look on his face.

Drake: Hi.... wait... your Ellie, right?

Me: Yea that's me.

Drake: So what are you doing out here?

Me: Visiting, you?

Drake: Same.

Me: Oh ok.

Drake: Who you visiting?

Me: A Friend, well not anymore but you know...

Drake: Yea sorry to bring it up.

Me: Its ok. Do you mind if I ask the same thing?

Drake: Family...

Me: Oh...

There was an awkward silence. I felt weird with him because we were random strangers and we were making a conversation. I am not really sure why I came over here, but I regret it big time. I felt as I should break the silence.

Me: What school do you go to?

Drake: Samson High, you?

Me: Same.

Drake: I haven't seen you around?

Me: Yea, I haven't really been going...

Drake: How come?

I was surprised to keep the conversation going this long! I was really happy but at the same time worried that he might think I'm a freak because I talk to random strangers...

Me: Well, things happened with me and I didn't feel like going to school, i guess?

Drake: I see.

Me: Well I have to get going so yea I'll see you around, k?

Drake: ok. It was nice meeting you Ellie.

I walked away and for a second I wished I hadn't! I was angry at myself because I finally had him talking to me and I walked away. The good thing is that I will see him at school tomorrow... I hope....
