Hey guys! Okay, since I was leaving tomorrow for the camping thing, I decided I should update. Nowww...remember, and please notice that I HAVEN'T SLEPT ALL NIGHT, or in 24 HOURS! So if there's a typo or a grammar error, or anything, please, NO pulling me out on that...sorry. Here it is. Oh and by the way, Troy is OUT OF the picture...except for a few parts here and there...anyway...here we go! Also, I'm trying to get the teenage girl feel, sooo...if it's weird, awkward, or stupid...sorry.
Chapter 29
Jen looked at me, worried, shocked, and concerned all wrapped into one look. "What?" my Mom said sounding just as confused as Jen did. So in other words, if you mixed my Mom's voice and Jen's facial expression, it'd be like perfect!
"Mom...I just wanna go home." I said again, missing the no drama, and the way I used to look. I mean...how could he? All of a sudden he liked me, when Jen gave me a magic make over, what are the odds of that? Then, he dumps me when we get serious...and...ugh. I hate him. PLUS, he dumped me THROUGH Grant because he was a stupid coward and couldn't man up! How lame is that? (A/N: sorry, that's my voice coming through...lol.)
"Oh...well..." my Mom was trying to make this work, "Well...I'm not gonna ask why...because you hate it when I do, and the only possibility I can think of is that you stay there for another month, and deal with the drama you're dealing with, or you come to Hawaii with us..." my Mom thought aloud.
"Well...Mom...I was just wondering if I could just stay at home...and stay there." I said, hoping it would work. I needed my time, alone.
"Well...honey, I don't know how that would work, I mean...you'd have to get groceries, and...-"
"Mom. I'm 18 moving into college next year. I have to get used to it, don't I? I'll babysit, or work." I shrugged.
"Well..." my Mom and trusted me easily. I normally chose the right decision, sooo...
"Okay." my Mom said after a minute thinking.
"Thanks Mom." I smiled, as I felt a tear forming in my eyes. This was supposed to be the BEST SUMMER ever. Yeah...that was perfect.
"No problem hon. Just call me or dad whenever if you need ANYTHING, or call Jen...you know." my Mom said. After being 18 and, never getting in trouble with the law, smoking, doing drugs, etc, you really earn your trust from your parents...and having good grades.
"Kay. Love you." I smiled to myself, still feeling like I need to clench my heart in my fist to keep it from falling apart and detaching from the rest of my body. It hurt, but it didn't feel like completely...horrible. Like in movies, where you watch a girl mope around the same guy over and over who broke up with her...like Troy did with me...well GRANT did with me, but still. As much as I loved Troy, and still love Troy, what made me so mad was he couldn't do it himself!
"Love you too sweetheart." and with that we both hung up and Jen looked at me with a look that scared me, really bad.
"What?" I asked.
"You're leaving? What? Why?" Jen said not knowing one thing that was going on.
"I'll tell you later. How about you come with me back home and I'll tell you. Okay?" I said avoiding any eye contact with Troy. I could feel his eyes piercing me, and Grant was staring at me, completely, heartbroke for me.
"I'll call ya later Grant. Or..." I paused, "You can come with." I said nodding my head in the direction out the door.
"I'll come." Grant said and followed along.
We walked to my house in silent as I let everything that just happened sink in. It was like a fresh wound, but it didn't kill you, or sting. It'll hurt later.
"Soo...what happened? Because I'm confused? And I DON'T GET IT!" Jen said screaming, confused.
Grant explained, before I could open my mouth. I really didn't want to explain it, it'd just make things worst, and make me want to scream, cry, and be alone. It's better not to think about it. I don't wanna be a stupid teenage girl who mopes around. I want to get over Troy Bolton. He was a waste of time...right?
"STUPID TROY!!" Jen screamed out cussing in different language (mostly french). Then after about...eh, I'd say 3 minutes she looked at me. "Oh." she said and ran over and hugged me.
As much as I LOVE Jen, she takes out her anger, when it's supposed to be about me, and forgets about the problem at hand, then looks innocent and has an instant realization. It's her.
She looked at me, then ran to me and hugged me. "I'm so sorry hunnie. He was a jerk. He treated you like trash before and after. He was a sweet boyfriend...but, ugh! He's UGH! First of all, HE HAD GRANT BREAK UP WITH YOU! And he was in THE OTHER ROOM! HE'S NOT A MAN!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
"Jenny. Chill." I said, "I'm fine. I just need to get HIM OUT OF MY MIND! AND IT DOESN'T HELP IF YOU'RE YELLING ABOUT HIM IN MY FACE!" I yelled back.
"Sorry..." Jen smiled innocently, and glanced at me with a concerned, best friend look, and than looked away.
"You are amazing." Grant laughed, "Even when....okay I'm gonna shut up." he laughed at himself.
"You guys are awesome." I laughed as a tear escaped from my eye and I pulled them both into a group hug.
"Okay...well 'Brie. If you need anything, call, text, or come over and we'll get you anything you need. Okay?" Jen said sweetly.
"Yeah, I get it." I laughed.
"Yeah...do you want us to stay? Or do you want us to..." Grant slowly paused.
"Leave." I chuckled, "I need my own 'Gabriella' time." I said rocking on the heels, I loved them both to death, but...now, I need my time.
"I get it." Grant laughed, "C'mon Jen." Who by the way was already objecting to what I said.
"Fine." she said, "But-"
"Go." Grant said opening the front door and pushed her out.
"We love you!" she yelled as the door shut, and I laughed, and then I sat down on the living room couch. All I could think of how big of a waste of time Troy was. He was...a fantastic boyfriend. He was awesome. Sweet. Funny. Charming. But...I should of known.
I felt a little tear drop on my knee, and I looked down at the tiny wet spot on my jeans. WHY AM I CRYING!! He was a waste of time, and I do NOT need to worry about him. Move on. Find another boy. Not be a slut, but...move on and forget him. That's it.
A few hours later, I thought of other ways, I could move on, and all I could think of was just get out, and see what happens.
Okay, it's short, and it's different. I really want the girl feelings shown and reality into realization as well...sooo REVIEW and enjoy, and keep reading!
