Chapter 4: Lovesick Aftermath
Xia's POV
I was brushing all the knots out my hair. Callie and I just got back from the party…but she had that perfect hair, the kind that everyone in the world envies. There was a knock on the door.
"Xia, can I come in?" asked Callie from outside my room.
"Sure bub," I replied, "shut the door behind you."
She plopped herself on my bed and stared at my ceiling. I had to admit, my ceiling was pretty cool. It had glow-in-the-dark stars and swirls.
"Have you ever felt," she said breaking the silence, "so out of it?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like the way you felt with him…with Cody."
Cody…I hadn't heard his name since a while. In fact since the day after his funeral. Alexia Kahn, head cheerleader and someone I had to work with on a daily basis just had to bring him up.
"Morning Alexia, how are you today?" she asked. I didn't reply.
"Oh yes I forgot," continued Alexia, "You don't answer to Alexia. Only to 'Xia' right? That's really pathetic, changing your name because your dead ex-boyfriend gave you that name."
I slapped her. I nearly got suspended that day.
I do remember how Cody made me feel. I remember the way he held my hand, the way he'd hug me from behind, the way he'd kiss my forehead when I was upset. He was the only boy I dated that hadn't pressured me or anything. He understood me. Something nobody else ever did.
"Yes," I answered Callie, "I do remember. I remember everything."
"I feel that way tonight," my sister whispered shyly.
I was in shock. Callie had never shown that much interest in boys before.
"What!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide.
"Do you know Chase Ross?"
"Honey's brother?"
"Yes…"
"Well what about him Callie?"
"I think his my boyfriend…"
…
