Andrews POV
I open the door to the garage and as I do I am met by the familiar smell of gasoline and a slight cold tinge to the air. I didn't really know why it was just a degree or so colder but it was. It was kind of bothersome but hey, at least I have a garage right? I walk down the stairs and pad toward the Phantom slowly, yawning and stretching my arms as I reach it.
"How much did you sleep last night?" Asked Darryl a little worried, I shrug as I open the door to the car and hop in.
"Maybe two." I respond as he gets in and closes his door, he looks at me confused and reiterates a little irritated.
"two what? Hours? Days? Minutes? Seconds? Decades? Be more specific?!" He yells the last bit way too dramatically to be serious and I can't help but shake my head at him.
"None of your business little one." I mumble as I plug in my phone and open the garage door. I drive out of the garage and as I watch it close behind me I turn on my music and hear the beginning to "Red Eye" by Kid Cudi begin.
"Hey Love, hate, play this game of give and take Go, stay, we all make mistakes Ill say, what a wonderful escape I embrace Hey, hey, hey Things get crazy and I feel I'm losing my mind I dont know what to do Im going insane and I really dont know why There's only one thing to do I'm floating through the night on a red eye, red eye (Through the night on a red eye, red eye) I'm floating through the night on a red eye, red eye." I nod slightly and think back on the past week, I'd definitely used a few things to get away from my problems. It did help, having those hours of freedom from my inner demons. Could it have problems in the long run? Doubtful but maybe, I'll deal with that when it comes. But really what could happen? I was just overthinking stuff again.
I park in the school parking lot and look around. I was wondering if there was anybody I knew sitting around the parking lot. After scanning and not finding anybody I shrug and turn the car off. Hopping out and brushing off my hoodie. I whistle slightly as I walk towards the school and I look around the school yard, I didn't see anybody that I recognized. I make sure that the cars locked before I continue walking to the school and I hear Darryl ask behind me.
"What classes do you even have today?" I shrug my shoulders slightly and think to myself trying to figure out.
"Uh, French maybe, English maybe, music studies, photo, calm. Maybe something like that." He sighs and I throw my left hand up.
"What? I don't bother remembering that shit. No point in it." I reply to his sigh angrily. That was another thing, I had a touchy temper now a days. So I was not all sunshine and rainbows to be around, but hey. Could you really truly blame me? Wouldn't you be pissed if you had to go through this shit? Would you not also be pissed if all this drama was disrupting your sleep schedule, eating schedule and every other schedule you have? As we reach the doors of the school I open it for Darryl and wait for him to go in, I get a small nod of thanks and I return it. Even when I was in my worst mood I was still one of the most gentlemanly people in this whole school, as long as I kept my wits about me, I wouldn't do anything out of line from my normal behaviour and nobody would notice that something was significantly wrong. Nobody in all honestly paid that much attention to my eyes as far as I knew, maybe they did. I look around the school and as I see our small little group I look through faces and as I see Abby I roll my eyes.
I should go talk to her. I casually walk to the group and receive waves from a few people which I nod to in response and as I reach her she looks at me with some skeptical looks and some look of what I didn't think I'd see in her eyes for a long time, longing. It meant she missed having me with her. I thought it was cute. We were a good match, opposites attract and all that. In all honesty I wasn't sure if I really wanted her back. It seemed like we had more problems then a normal couple our age does but hey, what did we know?
"Hello." I say to hear calmly and placidly, I was actually kind of surprised that I was able to say it so normally. Most of the time when I say something to her it had an inflection to it, a happy inflection, sad, angry, whichever feeling I was feeling at that moment. I guess that was a perk of being my girlfriend... You could tell how I was feeling when nobody else could.
"Hi, how was your weekend?" She asks quietly and I can tell she's nervous, she isn't making eye contact with me for more then a few seconds at a time before looking away to something else. She really didn't have a set place she was looking either, it was random.
"Mine was fine, nothing too special, you know how that stuff is for me. I don't really do much." I respond smiling slightly, I couldn't help it. My life was funny.
"That's good, mine was alright. Didn't do much either..." She mumbles as she takes something out of her pocket and holds it.
"What's that?" I ask raising an eyebrow, she opens her paw and I see it's the ring I gave her. Now this could go two ways, the good way, she says she was using it to remind her of me, or the bad way. She drops it and walks away.
"It's the ring you gave me.. I was..." She pauses slightly and I can tell she might start crying so I do what any reasonable person would do when somebody they care about is about to start crying. I hug her tightly and give her a gentle kiss on the cheek.
"Shhh, it's okay." I say quietly and she returns the hug after realizing what I'm doing.
"I missed you Andrew." I nod slightly and then I realize what I'm doing, I pretty much just ended the entire thing just because she was going to start crying in front of me.. Was she planning that? If she was damn she's smart.. But even if she isn't I feel bad.. It is partially my fault this whole situation is going on as long as it has been.
"A... Andrew?" I hear Abby say quietly still against me and I look down at her.
"Yes? How can I help you?" I reply sweetly, even when there's a part of me that's angry at her I can't help but be nice to her, she's just so cute.
"Are we still fighting or are we..." She says quietly but trails off and that trail doesn't help. I can't tell if she means "are we back together..." Or "are we done..." Which is a big problem for me. Cause I didn't even know, part of me wanted to try again with her, part of me just wanted freedom and the ability to maybe find somebody who wasn't so... Dramatic.. I guess.
"Well I don't know, what do you want us to be? Do you want us to be over or do you want us to keep going?" I reply softly and she looks up at me with uncertainty deep in her eyes, she had the same thoughts I did. Which actually surprised me. When did I start any drama? What reason could she possibly have for breaking up with me? Oh wait.. I've been through this before.. It's always me...
"I don't know Andrew, I love you a lot. I'm just thinking.. We've been through a lot.. Mainly because of me.." She replies and she shivers and takes in a shaky breath and I can tell the crying may start again so I rub her back gently and keep hugging her. I am way too good at this.
"It's okay, it's not all your fault." I whisper quietly, at this point we were just another couple sitting by their lockers and the others have given us privacy, which was good. We might be here a while.
"But most of it is... I was always the one flipping out on you for no reason..." She responds looking down at the ground. I didn't have much time left. I had to just get her to cheer up.
"Who cares? Lets just forget about all that crap, we don't need to get back together this very instant. But we can forget all the stuff that happened before, it isn't going to help us to remember the past." I added as she was done talking and I received a small nod from her.
"You don't want to get back together now?" She questions in a high pitched voice and I can tell I might've gone into a mine field with that one.
"No I didn't say that, I was just saying that we've been going back and forth all week. Lets just take a few days to see if things haven't changed too much before we hop back into a relationship okay?" I counter quickly before she can get the wrong idea and she nods slightly.
"Yeah. Sounds fair." She smiles slightly at me and I return it after wiping away any tears that may come out of her eyes gently. She kisses my cheek gently and then goes back to the group. I lean against my locker and as I sit there I hear my name called by somebody. I look around as I do I see Ice waving his hands like an idiot at me. I chuckle slightly and walk towards him, I can feel a certain bounce in my step that wasn't there before. It felt good to be back to where I was, sort of.
"Hey Andrew, this is my friend Easton. He goes to this school too." Ice says as I reach him and points to the wolf beside him, he's a decent sized wolf, maybe a bit smaller then me, maybe a bit taller, couldn't really tell. His fur was white and his eyes were a soft chocolate brown, they conveyed knowing, basically they showed he'd been through things. It was a look in the eye of everyone who had hard times in their lives. I knew I had it, that was a given. I didn't normally see it on people my age but when I did it bugged me. People my age shouldn't deal with the things we do. Anyway, back to him. He was wearing a yellow shirt with a yellow and white hoodie accompanied by dark blue jeans. He had a necklace on, from what I could tell it was silver. It was pretty nice.
"Hello. Nice to meet you, as he's obviously said. My names Andrew." I say smiling good-naturedly and I put my hand out for him to take it. He looks at me and smiles back and takes my hand shaking it, he has a pretty firm grip, kind of surprising. Teenagers normally didn't give a damn how their handshake was, guess he was much more mature then I thought. He was like me, he knew how the world actually works.
"Hi, nice to meet you!" He responds with a happy tone throughout the sentence and I raise an eyebrow at it, he seems so happy. It's good to see that.
"You too man, you too." I mumble smiling, there was something about him, something different. I couldn't quite tell what it was, but it was something quite big. I hear the bell ring and I turn to walk to my locker and as I do I nearly run into somebody else. I stumble back a bit and I feel somebody catch me and I quickly turn around to see Easton standing there with a shy smile.
"Be careful there." He says chuckling and I realize I'm still half in his arms and I stand up and brush myself off.
"Yeah I do need to be careful evidently." I chuckle slightly and wave to him as I walk away and as I do I look back at him. How did he catch me so easily? Eh, whatever. I'm just glad he did. I look around and see that everyone but Abby is gone.
"We have calm, let's go." She says and I nod and follow her down the hallway slowly, calm was not gonna be fun but having a decent relationship with her was going to help. As we walk down the hallway I think about random things and I keep going back to Easton, he was nice. I had to get his phone number and all that stuff later, at least if he wanted to give it to me. As we reach the calm room I yawn slightly and think to myself.
This is going to be a long class.
