He Loves Me For Me
Chapter 26
Weeks passed by without me and Harry talking. I felt like another huge chunk of my heart was missing. My mother, now Harry. I continued on with my life. He wasn't going to stop me. Went to work, school. It was hard. Not having that one person who seemed to melt all your troubles away like an ice cube there for you. A person who you could tell your problems to and not worry about your secret being told to other people.
I heard the light buzz of my alarm clock go off. Slowly rubbing my eyes, I get out of bed to get ready for school. Before leaving I grabbed a granola bar and left. School was boring as usual. I couldn't stop thinking about Harry. I didn't want to admit it but, I missed him and wanted him back. My heart yearned for him.
"Elodie?" A voice called.
My eyes blink, snapping back to reality.
"Yes?" I answered.
"I just wanted to talk to you about your grade. What happened? You were getting A's, you're slipping." Mr. Simons spoke.
"I- umm... I've had some things on my mind lately." I said.
"Anything you want to talk about?" He asked.
"No. But thank you." I said grabbing my bag.
"Ok. Make sure you're studying." He called out.
When I got to my car, I just sat there. Thinking about how harry affected me. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't sleep, been eating a lot. I just wasn't happy anymore. Life seemed like a bore and I had no interest in anything. My vision started to get blurry. What if Harry didn't want me back? What if he realized he liked the single life better than being with me? I couldn't hold it in anymore. The salty tears slowly crept into the corners of my lips. I wiped them away, clearing my vision enough for me to drive to work.
"Hello." Eve sang as I walked in.
"Anything change with you and Harry yet?" She asked with concern in her eyes.
I looked towards the ground and shook my head no. She pulled me in for a hug, a feeling of comfort setting in. The whole day wasn't so bad. Eve and I talked about what we were going to do on Valentines day together, since we didn't have boyfriends.
"We should go somewhere. Like Vegas!" She said.
I gave her a straight face.
"What is there to do is Vegas except gamble?" I asked.
"You..could...umm. Yeah I got nothing." She chuckled.
"Oh, how about Florida?" I asked.
"Sounds fun." She exclaimed.
The thought of going to Florida excited me. I smiled to the thought of sun beaming down on my skin as I sat in the itchy sand.
Work was finally over. As soon as I got home, I went plane ticket searching for Florida. Looking at these prices was whole other story. For one ticket started at $348 and up. I closed my laptop. If I couldn't even afford a new phone, how could I afford a plane ticket? To tired to think, I rested my head on my pillow and dozed off to sleep. Thinking how much this trip would benefit me. I could use a break from everything.
Ok :)
