7. 7

The fourth day of sadness the world gave to me. One angry mother rolling me out of bed!

I didn’t care if she wanted me to hurt more then I already was. I changed out of my dirty sweats and put on clean ones then I washed my hair. I didn’t eat breakfast or pack a lunch instead I grab some money and waited.

Once we got to school Ray grabbed my hand and walked me over to his friends I stood not listening to their conversation until one of the girls brought up Ethan. “Yeah, I heard he was moving away!” She said, “Just him I think but Grayson will probably go with him.” I turn to face her and she turns red “guess he and Kara will have to break up,” she said awkwardly shrugging her shoulders.

My heart broke even more. That was when I realized I still loved him. I needed him. I’ve been sad this whole time because of her not him. I could forgive him for falling into her web but not her. I should have let him explain himself. This has to be a misunderstanding.

I realized I was smiling so I say goodbye and go in search of the boy I loved. I found him standing at his locker alone so without thinking I run for him. Once I reach him I wrap my arms around his neck and smash our lips together.

I was always surprised when we kissed. It was always as if our lips had their own dances only they knew. When we finally pull apart I pull him into a hug and he holds me tight. “I’m sorry” he whispers I loosen his grip to look him the eye. “I should have let you explain before.” Ethan shakes his head “You were right to be upset. Maria listen I came to the dance to surprise you. When I got there Kara asked me to dance I told her once I’d found you but she pushes me into her. Then out of nowhere, she kisses me and I show you run off.”

I nod my head then hug him again the bell rings so I turn to leave until he grabs my wrist “Maria I’m so sorry. Grayson and I are moving to LA tomorrow.” my jaw drops and I scream “Ethan no please don’t leave me!” I collapse into his arms and sob into his shirt.

“We could try long distance.” I nod my head into his chest “But I’d miss you so much!” I look up at him “Ethan I love you I can’t lose you” he gently puts my head back into his chest then he kisses my head “I love you too”

I cry into his chest until we go off to class.
