(2) Overnight Sensation: An All Time Low Fanfiction Romance

Chapter 49: Goodbye (Kara's POV)

        I rolled out of my bed after Alex left, and stood slowly, feeling slightly light headed. The bottom half of my body was sore, like I'd pulled muscles. I sighed, walking towards the bathroom as normally as possible, but quickly. My windows were open slightly, allowing small amounts of light into the room. I got int he shower, eyes half closd while I sat underneath the warmth.

        I was trying to think about anything besides what was going to happen today. I was hoping to wash the memories down the drain with my dirty water. I scrubbed my skin lightly, not awake or motivated enough to do much. Plus, I really didn't want to wash off the feeling of Alex's skin on mine.

        I wasn't sure if last night was the right night, or if any night would have been right for what I'd done. Now that I was calmed down, and my normal personality was back in check, I finally go tot hink about all the things we did last night. I almost wanted to smile, but at the same time, I wanted to cry.

        Alex and I have been together since the beginning of April, and we were more than halfway through May now. It's only been a little over a month and I did the last thing I thought I'd do. I slept with him. I slept with a boy that I wasn't even sure I called my boyfriend.

        I couldn't bring myself to regret it in my head, the taste of his mouth. The way he was so forceful, but gentle all at the same time. I've been dealing with Alex since before Adam, fighting him off since the first day of school when he told me I was hot. Five months of this awful, complicated relationship that we were trying to cram in while only having a little over a month before he left.

        I wasn't sure if I should be happy, or disgusted with myself.

        I got out of the shower, wrapping my body in a towel. I walked into my room, picking at the clothes on my couch. I saw an unfamiliar black hoodie. I fingered the material, holding it up. Without having to see the design, I could smell the scent that lingered on the fabric. Alex must have left his sweatshirt here.

        I smiled at it, holding it in my grip. I set it down, slipping a bra and underwear on over my body before putting on a pair of soffe shorts and a loose white v-neck. I slid the sweatshirt over my head, wrapping my hair in the towel that I'd previously had wrapped around my body.

        I didn't bother doing anything, nor did I normally ever. I let my hair dry slightly, still a little wet when I toko it out of the towel. I let the small waves cover my head, including my bangs. I slid on a pair of flip flops onto my bare feet and ran my fingers through my hair. I hadn't realized how long I was int he shower. It was 8:35 now, and I had to go.

        I shoved my phone into my pocket, grabbed my keys and wallet off my table and walked out the door. I already told my dad I'd be leaving to say goodbye. He didn't argue with me when I told him, he knows how much it means to me.

        Alex had said goodbye to my dad the night of graduation, where my dad wished him luck. He could tell he held some reluctance, even if he was trying to be nice. No one knows what a rock star's life would be like, and he didn't know if Alex's band would make it. It concerned him if I were to still be with him. He wanted someone who could take care of me, even when I've been taking care of myself my whole life.

        I pulled out of my driveway quickly, the sun blazing down on me. It was the second day of summer, and many people would be going to the beach or to someone's pool to hang out. I was leaving to say goodbye to Alex, and my best friends.

        Pulling off my street and towards Jack's house was easy. He was only five minutes away, and I watned to get there before they actually left. I was trying to stare out the window not caring that they would be gone for five weeks. I tried not to dwell on it, but at the same time, I didn't think I could stop being sad. I was the only one left here.
