After a few hours of pouting and constantly checking my Twitter feed, I decide to go outside for the first time in several days. I put on some decent clothes and try to slip out of the house without my mom noticing. "Phew," I sigh after getting past her. I really don't want to talk right now.
It feels good to be outside. The beach is a way better place to think compared to my stuffy bedroom. I watch the waves crash against the shore and the trees sway in the breeze. The sun looks like a huge orange and the clouds look like pink cotton candy. Maybe, I'm hungry. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking. I'm really happy that my mother and I moved to Adelaide, Australia. Its great here... but it would be better if Connor hadn't left.
Just then I see a couple walking down the beach. They are playful and lively and just plain cute. Am I jealous? Was that what Connor and I looked like? Is that what Connor and I could still be like if he hadn't left? I shake the thoughts away as the couple walks by. They are laughing and playfully shoving each other, but they straighten up when they notice me.
"Oh hey," the man says to me. His significant other waves with a smile.
"Hi," I say smiling back, but its not completely sincere. They say goodbye then move on with their walk. I catch myself staring after them. I quickly change my gaze toward my feet which I bury in the sand.
After a while of just standing there probably looking like a complete and total idiot, my legs grow tired so I go over to a huge rock and sit down. Images of Connor flash through my mind. I can feel my spine tingling at the thought of his lips planting a kiss on my forehead. I wish he was here to hold me right now.
