When we meet again...

goodbye

For a moment we just both stare at each other.

"Alice. It's not what it looks like."

Tears dangerously close from falling, I made a run for the door. I can't believe after all I have been through the past week, he goes and does this. once I had made it into the corridor I began running. I'm not the slowest runner in my school but I'm also not the fastest. unfortunately Alex is. he had caught up with me after about 10 yards. He grabbed hold of my arm, but I stayed faced away from him. Despite my tears I made my voice sound hard "let go." his hand didn't budge instead he started rambling on about something, but I was too pissed to listen.

"I said let go."

he was midway through his speach, and it took him a minute to understand me.

"what? oh sorry." he dropped his arm but I stayed turned away, I didn't want him to see the tears.

" Please turn around Alice, just listen, hear me out... please"

I didn't move.

"your being unfair now."

damn, he did not just say that! now I turned around, but if he thought it was to hear him out he had another bloody thing coming!

"fair? how dare you say that I'M being unfair! I'm not sure if you remember but my mum was killed. KILLED GONE DEAD! MY WHOLE LIFE HAS BEEN UNFAIR! AND NOW MY DAD, WELL I DON'T THINK HE CAN LAST MUCH LONGER. AND ELLIE? YOU THINK ABOUT HER? SHE'S LOST HER MUM! SHE'S ONLY 6! SHE DOESN'T DESERVE IT. THAT'S UNFAIR!"

man he was not prepared for that! he stood there, not quite sure what to say. me, calmed down enough to speak at a normal level filled the silence with the last words I would ever say to him.

"so please go ahead and say I'm being unfair," I leant in closer so our faces were only cm apart, " I dare you"

silence.

" goodbye Alex "

and with that I left. when I said gooddbye I didn't realise that that would be the last time I would actually see him.
