Unusual - #16 !

I laid there in bed as thoughts ran through my mind. It had been three weeks since I went to visit Samantha. Her mum was still the same, always cracking jokes and insulting people that annoyed her! Sammy and I have been talking on the phone almost daily, I think I'm starting to feel something for her again. Even though we broke up because of the distance, now that we're both older I think things will be different. I don't know if she feels the same though. My phone rang snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked at the caller ID and saw it was Lisa. I sighed and picked up after a few rings..

Lisa:"hey"

Me:"Lisa I'm kind of busy-"

Lisa:"I just wanted to talk"

Me:" I can't" I sighed.

Lisa:"why not?"

Me:"I said I'm busy!"

Lisa:"you're always busy, you blow me off in school as well . We haven't even spent any time together in a while" she whined

Me:"I know, I've just been busy" she murmured something and sighed. "What?"

Lisa:"nothing. Can we meet tomorrow?"

Me:"I'm going somewhere tomorrow" I said blatantly lying.

Lisa:" then when?" She said sounding annoyed.

Me:"look.. Lisa.. I think we need to stop this. I mean, you're my teacher, I'm younger I-"

Lisa:" what?! Why?"

Me:"Well, because you have your own life, and I have mine.."

Lisa:" fine!"

Just like that she hung up on me. I rubbed my face in frustration and dialled her back. She busied my call and I tried again. She busied it once again and I kissed my teeth. She's become so clingy over the past few months. I don't know if its because she broke up with her boyfriend.. or maybe because I've been distant, what with Samantha now. Either way, she needs to remember that she's a grown woman and I'll be leaving for university soon, its almost summer and my time as a sixth form student is almost over! I pushed Lisa to the back of my mind and decided to call Sam....

Lisa:

I snuggled up-to my pillow as tears began to fall. Why was I crying over a teenager. Lisa get a hold of yourself. What have you become?! I continued to cry as I evaluated my life. First Dave, now Jordell why?! The doorbell rang and I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes before rushing to open it.

Me:" Carol?"

Carol:"hey, just thought I'd stop by and s- .. Are you crying?" I wiped my eyes and shut the door as she got in.

Me:"no"

Carol:"you have, what's happened? Is it Dave? Has he tried to talk to you again? The sick bastard!" She spat out all at once.

Me:"no its nothing, just stressed is all"

Carol:"aww hun" she hugged me as we sat down on my couch. "As much as I'd like to believe that, I don't. Now tell me the truth. What's happened?" I sighed and bit my lip. I can't tell her. She'll think I'm a sick person, but I need someone to talk to right now.

Me:"I can't" I said whilst looking away.

Carol:"why not, you'll feel better to just let it out"

Me:"no, you don't get it, I can't. You'll think I'm sick"

Carol:"why what's happened?" She said sounding worried now. I took a deep breath and faced her.

Me:"promise me this stays between me and you, and don't judge me.."
