Chapter 6: Long time no speak!

-4 months later-

4 months. 4 months of living hell. I promised myself I wouldn't get into this state. I promised myself no matter how bad things got I would still face things, not back down like a coward. Not sit here and feel sorry for myself while the rest of the world carried on, almost mocking me in my pitiful time of need. Jenna hasn't exactly been a huge help either.

When I wonder back in at around midnight, she yells at me, asking where I'd been, because I need caring for like a baby. Note my obvious sarcasm. I wish she could just see that it's all over. O-V-E-R. Nobody's going to say 'I love you' to me for many reasons. One being that I haven't spoken to anyone. And another being that I look a cross between the the hunch of notre dame and lord voldemort, not a good mix.

Even my own father has ditched me. No calls. No texts, only to tell me he 'can't make it tonight' and then the next day he's in the papers with some random chick he picked up. It sickens me. He doesn't even make some time in the day to visit me, his own son, pathetic. Now I know where I got my self obsession from.

Right, so 4 months, like I said. 4 months, huh, doesn't seem like a long time when you say it, but when you live it. Man, it feels like a year. And when you're constantly getting texts from your friends asking whether you're going to an awesome party that someone's holding, it makes you feel like complete shit. No questions asked.

And when you spend 4 months, trying to find a girl you think you 'hate' but you kind of wanna see what she's really like, but she disappears off the face of the earth, is also a hard slap in the face. I stood in various disgusting things over that period of time of trying to find her. I spent 3 hours a day for the 4 months waiting outside her apartment, waiting for her to show her face. But no luck. How can she just disappear like that? It's annoying. But then again that's Dawson for you, Annoying, bratty, confusing and controlling, but to all the same, entrancing.

It amazes me. One moment I don't want anything to do with this girl, then the next, she's got me begging for her to show her face. I wont say wrapped around her finger, lets not go that far. I haven't yet decided if that was a bad or good thing. Hopefully good, but like I said, Dawson is confusing.

I threw the ball I had in my hands at the wall in front of me, it bouncing off and spinning back into my hand. I sighed. This is about as exciting as my life gets. If only Dez were here.

I sat up and smirked at myself. Dez.

He wouldn't judge me, right? And I could trust him. I mean, we have been best friends since we were 3. Of course he wouldn't judge me, he's Dez for crying out loud, he's the most selfless person I know.

I jumped up just as Jenna walked into the room. "So you're finally deciding to move?" she asked as she sets the large box she was carrying on the couch. I shrugged.

"I need to make a phone call" I mumbled. She sighed and turned to walk off, before turning back round.

"That box is yours. We left it when we were packing your stuff" she said pointing towards the box.

I tensed up as I realized what was in the box "is that my..?" my voice trailed off I glanced at the box again.

She nodded "Yep." she replied popping the 'p'.

"Your dad said you might want it" she mumbled.

I scoffed "No. He knows I stopped when, mom, when she, you know" I replied shakily.

She sighed and nodded "I know. We both thought it would help you out" she mumbled.

I rolled my eyes "Well you thought wrong. Like I said, I need to make a phone call so if you would do your job and get that piece of shit out of my sight" I snapped.

She scoffed quietly to herself and picked up the box she began to walk out, then turned around at the last moment "You know, I liked it better when we hardly talked, this curse isn't helping you one bit, you're still a jackass" she hissed and walked out.

Okay. Jenna grew some.

I sighed and rested my head in my hands.

Since was my life this complicating?

Why can't I go back to the times when I woke up, went to school, came home and went to bed. Not exactly as brief as that, but it was much simpler back then.

I walked over to the phone and dallied the number i had drilled into my head and waited as the never-ending ringing started.

"Hello?" A voice answered.

I grinned "Hey dude, long time no speak. I need to ask you something..."

I sat and waited for a knock at the door. Dez was pretty confused when I told him the story. I couldn't explain that I was cursed by a girl who thinks I'm too vain for my own good. So I told him that he can stop at my dad's other house with me. It was kinda' the truth. He just thinks I still look the same.

-Phone conversation-

"Please! Just fuckin' come!" I pleaded.

"You hate it when I sleep over at your house, I snore!" he argued.

I rolled my eyes "Dez! Right now, I couldn't careless if you sleep walked and trashed the whole house, I need someone bearable here. Besides we have a lot to catch up on" I replied.

He sighed into the phone "Alright, I'll be over in an hour with my stuff" he mumbled.

I grinned "Awesome! Oh, and make sure you pack a lot for at least a month, and knock on the door, you know the address right?" I asked.

"Yeah. I hate you for this" he hissed.

I chuckled "See you soon, buddy" I exclaimed.

"Oh just fuc-" I hung up before he could finish his sentence.

-End-

Yes, I'll admit, I am hyped about seeing Dez after 4-5 months. He may not be the sharpest crayon in the box, but he's still my best friend.

I grinned as there was a loud knock at the door.

"This better be the right house" I heard a voice grumble from outside.

I smirked "Yeah, it's the right house" I yelled behind the closed-door.

"Well open the door then, it's getting dark out here" he yelled back.

I sighed "Dez. You know you're my best friend, right?" I asked.

"Since when were you so affectionate?" he asked. I could almost hear his stupid smirk behind the door.

I rolled my eyes "Shut up. Remember Karlie, and how she hates me, right? And she's a witch? Well...you'll see" I mumbled before opening the door slowly. He quickly pushed past me and I closed the door.

"Phew. It might be Miami, but it's kinda' cold out th..." His voice trailed off as he looked up at me. I smiled and waved at him awkwardly.

"Hey Dez. Karlie, um she, um cursed me. She said I was an ass hole, and looking like...this will help me see the inner beauty in people or some bullshit like that"

He looked at me and then grinned "I can see it's not working" he replied.

I raised a brow at him "You believe me? Just like that?" I asked.

He shrugged "Only you would be so against the idea of 'inner beauty'. I've known you since you were three, I think I could recognise my best friend" he said with a sly smile.

"You look good" I said as I took a bag out of his hand.

He chuckled "You don't, you look horrible." he shot back.

I glared at him as we put the bags aside.

"So, what's happened since I left?" I asked.

He sighed "Well there was Debby taking your place, rumours going around about you going to rehab, Tilly announced that you two had gone splits vill, Miss Collins had a nervous break down, what else? Oh, and Dawson disappeared for 3 months, too not as long but just as strange. There were a lot of rumors that you two ran off together, then she returned 2 weeks ago" he explained. I whistled lowly.

"Wow, drama. Wait. Dawson disappeared?" I asked.

He smirked at me. "I tell you that Miss Collins has a nervous break down, and you ask about Ally Dawson?" He asked as he crossed his arms against his chest.

I shrugged nervously "Well. She's a nerd. Why would she miss school?" I forced out a laugh.

Ever since Dawson stood uo for me, I haven't been able to think about her the same way.

He rolled his eyes at me "Yeah okay, let's go with that. Anyway, Dawson came back with a bang" he responded.

The phrase 'coming back with a bang' is mine and Dez's way of saying that someone you havent seen for a while, reappears with a new look, attitude, self, or basically just shocks you.

I frowned "Dawson? coming back with a bang? Really?" I questioned.

He nodded "Yep. It wasnt a positive one either" he mumbled.

I looked up at him. "What do you mean?"

He chuckled "I always knew you had something for her." he sighed "When she came back. Everyone knew something was different about her. She wore all black. Black skinny jeans, Black hoodie, black shoes. She never smiled since she came back. Not once. She just kept her head down. I know she normally wasnt the most pleasant person, but she always seemed chirpy about something, right? Anyway when Tilly approached her and began asking her a ton of questions, she just snapped, she slapped her, left a red mark that lasted 2 days. Then ran out of the school. Came back the next day and acted like nothing happened. It's like she almost misses you" he sneered.

I scoffed half heartedly.

Was I worried about Dawson?

I pulled my hood over my head and ran for the door. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"I gotta see something, I'll be back later and we can catch up properly." I yelled back, walking out of the door.

Now, I just have to remember her street.

I was going to make this chapter a lot longer but I'll save the rest for the next one.

And obvious fact: Ally makes an appearance...
