Hi, everyone. Some of you may know me if you're into the whole J.T./Liberty ship on Degrassi. This is my first Secret Life fanfiction. Please don't expect it to be very good. I began writing it, with no real direction, and literally finished in ten minutes. It's a new style of writng for me, so please review. It's not supposed to be a poem. I just wrote it like that....? I don't know.
Disclaimer: Secret Life of the American Teenager is owned by Brenda Hampton, and not me. I'm not taking credit for th characters, only the plot of the story.
Going through the motions.
She brushes her hair and changes her clothes. She fixes cold cereal for herself ikn the kitchen.
She checks her cell phone. Thirty-two unread messages on her phone, all from the same guy.
Doesn't read a single one.
Was numbness a side-effect of pregnancy?
Going through the motions.
He wakes up in her bed again. Puts yesterday's abandonerd clothing back on.
Looks in her pantry for some breakfast.
And the girl stays asleep as he leaves her apartment.
He promises himself last night was the last time.
She sees him in the hallways. His sweater vest is worn over a neatly-ironed white dress shirt.
Boring.
He greets her with an "I love you" that she half-heartedly returns.
She's listeining to the notorious drummer practicing in the band room.
He quickens the tempo and transitions into the solo.
He makes it sound grander, more showy.
Perfects it.
He can tell by her quick glances that she's listening.
She tells him she forgot something in the band room and walks away.
He calls after her, "I love you."
She pretends not to hear.
She opens the door and looks at him. He was expecting her.
She smiles as the door closes.
He smiles at the intruder and gestures at her French horn.
And begins to play the slow and steady beat.
She continues the song they started so long ago.
Their summer song.
Right now it's just them.
And the boy in the sweater vest walks away.
The sleeping girl wakes up alone.
And everything is the way it should be.
Please review, even if you hate it! I tried to imply who the characters were to the best of my ability. I hope no one's confused, haha.
