Rob's POV
Today was actually not a total bust. When I got on to the roller coaster I started to think about Jess, I just miss her so much. I could feel the tears welling in my eyes. Since the ride was so fast everyone's eyes were watering a little so I did not feel like a complete sissy weirdo. I don't mean to be a jerk but I have not cried since my dad went to jail when I was 13. When I was waiting for the ride to start again someone sat beside me.
"Hiya Roberto" said a cheerful familiar voice
"Chris" I said as I turned my head only one person ever called me by that stupid nickname and their I was facing my childhood best friend but apparently Chris has grown up a little (A.N. Chris is a girl)
"You grew up" she said, when we were 10 she moved to Mexico and over the years we had lost touch.
"I can say the same about you" last time I saw her she was a tom boy but know she has long blond hair, long legs, and she was above the average kind of pretty, but she did not compare to Jess, no one could compare to Jess in a million years.
"How've ya been doing" she asked
"Well, I'm on probation, my mom got remarried, my girlfriend was lightning girl who if you have not heard just died a few days ago so I am more or less having the worst freaking time of my life" I could never lie to Chris she was like my sister/best friend/mom.
"That sucks" she was not even a little taken back by my honesty, impressive "Right now though I am a model and I was in the latest J-lo, Hilary Duff, and Lindsey Lohan music videos"
"That rocks" I said but I wasn't surprised, I could tell she was unusually pretty and she was always an awesome dancer in school
We started talking and eventually we got to Jess and I told her everything about how I was feeling and she listened and answered me and before I knew it we were sharing a hamburger, French fries, a milkshake, ribs, and a fourth of an apple pie. We both have huge appetites and we liked the same food.
"You'll be depressed, sad, unhappy, and sulky but in time you'll be able to focus on other stuff to" Chris had lost her mom when she was nine so I listened to what she had to say
"Will I ever be normal again" I asked
"Hell no" she answered as if it was no big deal
"Seriously" I asked in a worried tone
"Every day I think about my mom and about how much I miss her, but I do other stuff too and sometimes I don't think about it at all, but I like being sad because it helps me remember her."
I looked her straight in the eye and said "That makes no sense but I'll go with it" we both started laughing but all of a sudden I saw something I never thought I would see again… Jess standing there across the cafeteria looking straight at me.
