Torn

CALLIE'S POINT OF VIEW

"Alright, well um," I turn and look at Calum. "That's everything." He just looks at me. I don't get it, for the past year all we've been to each other is friends, and now that he's leaving, a shit ton of emotions are piling up. This is crazy, we don't have feelings for eachother anymore. I've got Emyli and he's got Rowan.

"So um..." He glances back at his mum, who is getting in her car for work. She already said goodbye. "This is it huh."

"Well I mean. Three months until Christmas, but for now this is it, yeah." I smile.

CALUMS POINT OF VIEW

No, I mean is this it for us.

JESS'S POINT OF VIEW

"And how's Sara?" I ask. Ashton and I have been up all night and day talking to each other.

"She's in Texas-"

"Wait. What?"

"You didn't know?"

"Does it look like I knew?" I laugh.

"Last year, her foster parents gave her to a home in America. She says she likes it but the house doesn't have Vegemite and it confuses her."

"And how's Calum?"

"He's going to college today and his girlfriend is moving into an apartment near there." Ashton shrugs.

"Callie's getting an apartment NOW? Wasn't she supposed to do that after she ran away?"

"Okay first of all, he isn't dating Callie, he's with a girl named Rowan, and also Callie didn't want to get emancipated so she could use the money for something else and just live with Joy."

"Ohh. Wow. I figured by now they'd be married." I laugh.

MICHAEL'S POINT OF VIEW

"Who was the dude with the hair?The one Callie dated."

"Callie has dated a lot of dudes with hair." Morgan laughs.

"The blonde one? With blue eyes? He hated Calum?"

"Oh, Luke!"

"Yeah yeah, what happened to him?"

"Beats me. Last I heard from Callie was he ran away to Darwin and never came back."

"What if he's dead?!"

"He's not dead." She laughs.

"What if he is?"

"I'll look him up, okay?"

i stare at her phone while she types, and raise my eyebrows at the result. "He's a musician? He doesn't sing though."

"Apparently he did." She laughs.

CALLIE'S POINT OF VIEW

When Calum leaves I'm left sitting on the curb alone. Why me? Why is everyone ready, and knowing what they are going to do since highschool is over, besides me? Emyli and Calum are going to college, Morgan's having a baby, Michael's trying to become an actor, Ashton's off trying to find Jess, and god knows what she's doing. Everyone seems to have a plan but me.
