Chapter 14

I felt so horrible. After the events of the night before I got home and the next morning I was sick. Throwing up, fever, the whole 9 yards.

"Adam," I whined, coughing again

"What?" He asked

"Be sure to call the school so they know I'm not coming," I reminded him and he nodded then left the room. I grabbed my phone off the bed beside me and sent a quick text to Jake telling him I wouldn't go to school with him today. I set my phone down and closed my eyes, drifting off into a deep slumber.

I woke up to my phone going off. I quickly answers the call and smiled when I heard who was on the other end.

"Yoyoyoyo WHAT UP?!" Jake yelled and I giggled

"Being sick," I sighed

"I'll bring you some soup," Jake suggested but I just disagreed

"Nah, bro I'm fine, I just wanna sleep," I told him even though I just woke up

"I'll leave you then, bye babe!"

"Bye!" I yelled back and hung up. I once again closed my eyes and drifted off into another deep slumber.

1 week later

"Jake! Hurry up!" I yelled through the door

"Coming," he just then opened and wheeled through the door

"To school we go," I yelled

"To school we go," He agreed

We left his house and made our way down to the school. Once the school came into view Jake spoke up.

"So, do you wanna have dinner with me tonight?" He asked and I stopped in my tracks

"Wait, what?" I asked so utterly confused

"Dinner. With me. Tonight. Okay?" He asked

"Sure," I shrugged. I wouldn't mind a date

"Okay, cool I'll be by your house at 6," I nodded. by now we were on the side walk in front of our school with people whizzing by our sides. I bent down and kissed him on the cheek.

"Until then," I whispered and walked inside the school, leaving a blushing Jake sitting there.

4:00 pm

"I've got a date!" I yelled once I entered my house. I walked into the living room and got confused stares.

"A date?" Adam asked

"Yeah, with Jake," they all oohed at that

"I approve," Adam said and I laughed

"I'm gonna go get ready!" I yelled walking to my room

"Okay!" They yelled back

I stood in my room looking at my closet

"What to wear, what to wear," I sighed as I moved my clothes around on their hangers. I stopped at this dress that was a pale pink with a black bow on the waist.(Picture above) I pulled it out and slipped it on. I put my hair in a by that sat right on top of my head and I did a light coat of makeup. I finally paired it with these black lace flats and nodded, agreeing with how I looked in the mirror. I grabbed my wallet and my phone and left my room.

I walked down the stairs and saw that everyone was recording, or at least that's what I thought since no one was in the living room. I looked down at my phone and turned it on.

5:58

I turned my phone off and headed out the door. I sat on the fence lining the house and waited. And waited. And waited.

6:15

6:30

7:00

I looked up from the app I was playing and sighed. The jerk!

I jumped off the fence and entered my house just as my phone rang. It was Jake. I answered the call and pressed the phone to my ear.

"You'd better have a good expiation for not showing up for our date," I said and there was crying on the other line

"Is this Carly?" a woman's voice asked

"Yes?"

"This is Susan, something happened to Jake," she whispered

"What happened?" I asked

"His chair got caught on a crack on the way to your house. He tipped over into the street and got hit. He's dead," she whispered the last bit.

Dead. My best friend. Dead

"I'll be over in a couple minutes," I whispers into the phone and hung up. Tears were streaming down my face.

"Bye guys!" I yelled through the house and ran out the door. I grabbed my skateboard that was leaning on the wall next to the door and jumped on it. I went as fast as I could until I made it to the accident scene. There were cops but I couldn't fine Susan. I did else's Maxx with tears streaming down his face. I jumped of my board and ran to him. I didn't care about what he'd done to be, we were both sad. I jumped into his arms and we collapsed on the ground. Both crying messes. We were getting looks of pity from the cops.

"I'm sorry," Max whispered to me

"Me too,"
