Diary of a lost soul

Chapter 2 What about her?

Chapter 2. What about her?

It had been two days since mom came back. She told me she was living in Miami with her new family and would like me to go live there with them. I told her I'd think about it, believe me I'd be out of this place in a heartbeat but what about Jasmine. She's been my best friend since  fourth grade and she's always been there for me. Thank you life for giving me something sweet but why didn't you tell me the after taste would be bitter? I was sitting on my bed staring at the ceiling as my mind raced through everything. Maybe this was a positive change I mean new school new beginnings right? Its not like dad would care whether I stayed or not......... Or would he?

"Can anything go my way for once?!" I screamed at the top of my voice. I took my backpack and skateboard, I needed an open space to think. I got on my skateboard and headed to the park.

*~*~*~*

I sat on one of the swings a pulled out a cigarette. I guess some promises can't be kept. The breeze cleared my mind making me feel at ease again. I closed my eyes and just let it all go. Then my cheek started throbbing with pain. What the heck! Did someone just slap me? I opened my eyes to see Jasmine standing in front of me with her angry cute face. "What the hell Elaine, you promised!" she shouted. "I'm sorry okay, I'm just frustrated and I don't know what to do." I said with a frown. "Its okay I don't mind if you go with your mom if anything you'll have a better life there than here. Look it won't be easy letting you go but there's social networks we can talk until we get tired of each others voices." she said looking at me with her dreamy eyes.

"Elaine?" she said. "You've been staring at me for like two minutes without blinking you're acting weird. This is awkward!" she snickered. "You can't blame me, you're so pretty and funny not to mention bossy." I laughed. We walked to my house in silence that evening after she made it clear how weird I was acting and that she might even take me to a mental health institution.

*~*~*~*

"You wanna chill in the treehouse?" I asked. "Yeah sure weirdo." she said nudging me. We climbed up the stairs to my treehouse and let ourselves in. We sat down on the floor in the corner near the window. She was so beautiful but I couldn't tell I like her I mean she's the only best friend I've had I can't lose her over some lousy crush. But what if she feels the same way what if she's afraid like I am. Only one way to find out. "Umm...Jasmine there's something I've always wanted to tell you." I ran my fingers through my hair. "Okay shoot cause your freaking me out." she smiled. "Well I kinda sorta-" she cut me off. "What?! Just say it." she stared at me blankly. "I'm in love with you! There I said it! Are you happy?!" I shouted. She leaned in and kissed me to shut me up I guess. I calmed down and kissed back. Her arms circled around my neck and mine around her tiny waist.

We parted panting heavily. My cheeks felt warm like I was blushing. Was I blushing? She giggled and planted a kiss on my forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow." she stood up and took her backpack. "Ummm....okay bye."
