It's been like forever since I wrote anything worth while, so I hope you enjoy this, and feel the need to review… PLEASE!!! Lol. Anyway either way, I'm back, for a little while at least lol.
"Thank you for the wonderful evening". Connie leant forward, pecking her dates cheek, then backed away, heading inside.
'Another date gone horribly wrong', she thought as she climbed the steps to her dorm room. The evening had started off ok, nothing spectacular, but gradually things had gone from bad to worse. The restaurant they had, had a reservation with, hadn't in fact got a reservation for them, so ending up in a Wendy's then heading into the cinema, where Connie had given John the choice of movie. Big mistake she had learnt rather quickly, after discovering he had chosen the documentary, that was showing that evening. She hadn't even been aware that the cinema showed docu-movies. She would have given anything right then to have been sat watching an action movie, filled with blood and gore. Throughout the movie, John had kept turning to her, smile broadly, often commenting on how fascinating it was, Connie could only nod and force a smile. After the movie had ended, they took a walk in the local park, where John still mesmerized by the documentary, continued discussing it, of which Connie had no idea what the subject had been, having not paid any attention to any of it.
"So, how'd it go"? Anna, her room mate asked, when Connie entered, leaning back against the door, as she closed it behind her.
"Awful, I think my top 5 worst dates has now been bumped again". She replied, then recalled the evening to her friend, who found it amusing to say the least. "Since when did dating become so hard"? Connie asked rhetorically, frustrated at her own situation.
"Since you spent 90 per cent of your high school career with the same guy". Anna replied matter-of-factly.
"I was very happy in high school with Guy, thank you very much". Connie reasoned.
It had been 4 years since she and Guy had split up, and though it had been amicable, she could still recall the hurt she had felt that day. They had been together 6 years, having spent most of their adolescence as a couple, it had been hard learning how to be single, but she had learnt to enjoy it, and had spent her last year of high school single.
"So when do you leave"? Anna asked, as she continued packing her things.
College was only a few days away from ending for the summer, but for Connie, it was the end of her time there, deciding against returning for another year. For now she was planning on heading home, and making any further decisions from there.
A few days later, her banged up old Jeep, was fully loaded with suitcases and boxes of things she had accumulated over the years spent there. It was hard to believe that in 2 months she wouldn't be returning like she had done over the past 3 summers. Turning to face Anna, who stood watching as she loaded her last bag, tears in her eyes.
"I'll call you when I'm settled". Connie told her, stepping back onto the sidewalk.
"It's been great living with you Con". Anna burst into tears, wrapping her arms around Connie tightly.
"It's been the best". Connie replied, tears spilling from her own eyes.
Giving one last squeeze, and without another word, Connie pulled away, stepping back before getting into the car. As she drove away from the curb, she could see Anna in her mirror, watching, tears still streaming down her face.
They had spent the last 3 years as room mates, and Anna had quickly become Connie's best friend. They had looked out for each other, picked spots off each others dates, supplied the other with comfort food when dates had gone horribly wrong, or in Anna's case, week long relationships ended.
For now though, the brunette was heading home. She didn't know for how long she was staying, probably until she found a job. Not looking forward to having to go back to living with her parents, having to abide by their house rules, but needs must. She was just hoping it wouldn't be for too long.
Hope you enjoyed it, hopefully fingers crossed, touch wood, a new chapter will be along soon lol. PLEASE R&R!!!!!
