Nothing Lasts Forever [A Simple Plan Story]

Chapter One: By Chance

I shuffled through the streets. The rain poured out of the sky as I cries. How could he do this to me? I thought he loved me. How could this be love? Maybe he never loved me. Maybe I was just another name on his list. I hate him! I groaned and shoved my hands deep within my hoodie. It was drenched in water. My converse squeaked and squished with every step I took. The cold air whipped against me and it chilled me to the core. My jeans went from a light blue to black and grew heavy. I could feel hot, salty, tears run down my cheeks. My eyes stung and my joints ached, but I just to keep going. But then I fell, I fell to my knees in a huge puddle. The water splashed around me. I looked to the sky and felt drops hit my face. I began to wonder what happened? What went wrong? But I guess he was right nothing lasts forever ....

4 Month Earlier

"Dylan," I looked up from my notebook both dazed and confused.

"Uh," I replied weakly.

"Can you help me?" Seb said not really with me, but like not really paying attention.

"Sure .... with what?" I asked .

"English," he replied quickly,

"Seb ... you speak it" I said jokingly

"No. The homework please help me", He said finally coming back to me. "

I know .... I was joking of course I'll help you Seb",I said putting my hand on his arm.

"Thank god", he exclaimed. Now he was completely back with me. The lost look had faded quickly and Seb was back.

"No problem well do it during lunch", I said motioning him to walk with me.

BING!

"Mr. Lefebvre and Ms. Kalario no PDA." yelled Mr. Blinker. Seb and I just looked at one another in awkwardness. Seb had short, spikey, light brown ,almost red, hair and gorgeous blue eyes.

He was slender but muscular still. Seb was about my height and had been my friend for every. He is the nicest guy you will every meet, but is painfully shy. To pierce his comfort zone was to mention Family Guy or The Simpsons. He loved those shows as much as I did. Seb and I have known one another for about 15 years. He was my first friend when I moved to Canada. Granted I was a year old but whatever. The thought of Seb and I ,like that, was to weird.

"Whatever", I said and rolled my eyes while turning away.

"Don't forget ... Lunch", he said raising his eyebrow.

"Don't forget ... Chem",I said motioning towards the room behind him.

"Oh crap", he said turning into the room, while Boover gave him a dirty look.

I smiled gently to myself and kept walking. I reached my class about five minutes late and just walked right in.' ", said Mr. Ticana "Your'e almost marked absent" he said displeased. At first I did not really care. But then I thought about it.

"Sorry", I said and meaning it. Mr. Ticana was cool! He played guitar during class and just hung out.

"Take your seat", he said and turned from me. I plopped down next to David.

David had a black mo hawk and beautiful dark green eyes. He had plenty of piercing but no tattoos. David was a really great student despite his ADD. Dave loved to have an audience and be around people. He could make you laugh until you thought you were going to explode. David loved to sing and play the drums. All and all he was a really cool guy.

"Nice job ... ever heard of a watch?" he smirked

"Yeah, have you ever heard of a breath mint?" I said jokingly back. I gave him a smile to show that I was playing.

"Hey, can I ask you something?" David said suddenly getting serious.

"What?" I asked curiously about what it could be.

"Ryan is your friend right?" David said looking down at his notebook ... then right at me.

"Yeah ... And" I said wanting to know more.

"Does she ... would I ever have a chance with her?" he just blurted out. Then his dark green eyes met my light green eyes. They were pleading for a good response.

"David", I finally said. I looked right at him.

"David she-" I began to say.

"Ms. Kalario and Mr. Desrosiers", said Mr. Ticana. "Go to the office" he said simply and then turned to the board and stopped paying attention to the two of us. David just looked at him blankly.

"Come on David" I said getting up and throwing my bag onto my shoulder. Karen sneered are we walked pat her. I hated Karen, she just always butted in when she was not wanted. I just rolled my eyes and kept walking. David was close behind me.

"Uh ... Dylan?", David said very anxiously for an answer to his previous question. I pretended I did not know what he was saying.

"Um ... What?", I said trying not to smile. "

"Dylan", David said very angry.

"Hello! Ryan?" he said very annoyed.

"Uh yeah ... Um" I said acting so stupid.

"Dylan!" he repeated.

"Okay ... Okay" I said giving in, "You have a huge chance with her! She has a massive crush on you!", I said with a huge smile on my face while I walKed backwards.

David gave me the most scared and shocked look. Then his face split into a smile and he jumped up.

"Yeah .. ya think?" he said sounding nervous.

"Yeah Dave she really likes you", I said more assuring.

"Oh okay ... yes!," he said sounding dorky.

I rolled my eyes and just kept walking. This was a great way to start off school, for my senior year. Everything was always the same here. Nothing really ever happened to anyone. It was extremely boring.

"So when should I ask her?", David said walking along side me now.

"Her birthday ... at the party to night." I said and looked down

"What are you getting her?" I asked . Its a surprise he said sounding lifted. Like the sound of a possible girlfriend could make you feel better. I did not get it. Maybe because I never really had a boyfriend ... or even been in love for that matter.

"Are you okay?" he asked eyeing me.

"Yeah" I said we finally got to the front of the building, and turned into the big glass doors. David and I walked up to the front desk.

"Talking?" the older woman asked. She looked quiet tired.

"Yup" I said but David merely shock his head 'yes'. He was a little preoccupied at the moment.

"Don't do it again" She said and not even looking up. We both nodded and began to walk out. I was not paying any attention and bumped into someone.

"Hey watch it" He said picking up his bag and books.

"Excuse me ... I'm sorry" I said kneeling down to help him.

"It's okay" was his simple reply and looked right into my eyes. "Shit happens .... my name is Pierre .... What's yours?"
