The only things on my mind is that my English regent is over, THANK THE HEAVENS!!! and of course Valentines Day which is only 2 weeks away. Its not like I hate Valentines Day, its just the fact that last year on Valentines Day I lost one of my best friends. Andrew as a matter of fact, Yep the same guy I met freshmen year. NOOO! I know what you guys are thinking he's not dead, we just split because some girl thought I was keeping him away from her because she knew him first. I guess that friendship was never meant to happened. The only thing I regret is that the fact that I was in love with him. Yep I am saying it out loud I was in love with my best friend. Haha how cliche. It's just hurts seeing him everyday in the hallway and my friends being his friends. And if he changed I probably take him back in a heartbeat because I am not the type of girl to hold grudges.
Before I can continued Dani interrupted my thoughts.
"Heyy love are you okay?" Dani has been my best friend since middle school. She has black hair, brown eyes and always complained about her 5'2 height because she wanted my height of 5'6 . She always knows what was going on with me, even if I don't say it, and she never misses a single detail about my life.
"Yea I was just thinking" I said quietly.
"And what were you thinking about?" said Dani curiously.
"Nothing that is important anymore" I started to tear up, and Dani leaned in and gave me a hug. I am an emotional reck I tell you, I am so fragile because of my sophomore year, I would probably never recover.
"Listen love Andrew and you are over, he choose Brittany over you, you shouldn't be crying. He is not worth your tears. You need to be the strong Chloe. If you can't do it for yourself do it for Nana", Dani said.
When she said Nana's name, I cried even harder. A week after me and Andrew split I lost my grandma. She was the hardest person I've ever had to let go of, to me she was everything. I know she is watching over me and shes helping me make the right decisions in life, and right know she is telling me to suck it up and pull myself together, and thats exactly what I did. FOR NANA!!
"Thank you for that" I said to Dani and she nodded.
We were currently in my bed room, It was a tuesday afternoon, this week is regents week meaning we have this whole week off.
"Im hungry can we go get something to eat?" Dani said
"Your always hungry I said, but so am I, so lets goo!!" I said. We headed out in the warm California weather. I lived in New York for awhile before I moved here and let me tell you I don't miss the weather at all. I am more a summer kind of girl.
We headed out to my Mercedes's which I got last year for my 16th birthday, parked in the drive way and headed to Brooke's Diner, mine and Dani's favorite spot. We enter the diner and sat at our usual spot. Our best friend Gabby worked here, and we basically knew everyone in this neighborhood.
"BABEEESS" Gabby screamed as soon as she saw us. We both got up from our seats and gave her a gigantic hug. Me, Dani and Gabby were the three musketeers and nobody and nothing can break us apart.
"Hey girl how's work?" I said.
She rolled her eyes, "Same old, same old". As soon as I was about to open my mouth to say something, he walked in. Navy blue jeans, red shirt that reveals his muscles and a leather jacket, it was no other than Andrew him self walking in our direction. Oh fuck my life, and with that I began to panic. He came up to us with a smile and greeted both Dani and Gabby and they both said hey. I just looked away because I couldn't stand to look at him. I had introduced Dani and Gabby to Andrew when we were friends, we all hung out one day at my house, we ordered pizza and watched movies.
" Hey Gab, I wanted to know where Brooke was so I can give her my work application", Andrew said.
"Um I think she's in the back, I'll go check" said Gabby, and with that she left. The room was filled with nothing but silence and major awkwardness.
"I have to go to the bathroom" Dani blurted out. And with that she left, leaving me and Andrew alone by ourselves. My mind was in shock because of this moment and the fact that he's getting a job in my favorite diner. What is the world getting itself into. I wanted to say something so badly, but I didn't have the balls to say anything, I just looked out the window. I could feel his eyes burning a hole in me, but i didn't cave. Good girl Chloee!! I smirked, if Dani was here she would be proud. I wasn't expecting what happened next, Andrew sat on the other side of the booth, smiling as if we were the best of friends. Oh crap I wonder where this was going.............
