She actually wanted to talk? And at her house? Without an audience? This had to be something.
These last two weeks had been awful. Trying to stay away from Mia had been horrible. A few times he’d caught her hurt expression, and he’d almost caved. But maybe it had all been worth it to prove to Savannah how much he wanted her back.
He had decided that if Savannah was going to take him back, he wanted to be honest with her about what was happening with his homelife. Right now, his dad was behaving, but he knew it was only a matter of time before he went back to drinking. When that happened, he hoped Savannah would be there to support him. After all, it had been nice to have Mia aware of what was going on. It had brought them closer together. It was only fair to give Savannah the same opportu

It hadn’t been right. The whole time, Ryan felt as if Savannah had been putting on some kind of show. Now they were finished, she had put her clothes back on and was scrolling through her phone as if nothing had happened.He turned onto his side and placed an arm over her. “So…how was your first time then?”“What…oh yeah. No great babe. Really great,” Savannah soothed, placing a kiss on his cheek.“Are you sore? I tried to be as gentle as possible.”“Errr…yeah a little bit. Not too bad. You were great.” She went back to her phone. From this direction though, Ryan couldn’t tell what she was doing.“Good,” he said.A silence fell over them. Or more Savannah was too preoccupied with the device in her hand.Ryan decided that this was as good a time as any to talk to her about everything with his dad. She’d just shared something with him that

It was the banging that woke her up. Her head felt heavy, and it took her a few moments to realise her face was pressed against the desk. She groaned. Why did her mouth feel like it was made of sawdust?“Mia? Are you up yet? You’ve not come out all morning!”The sound of her mom’s shrill voice sent shockwaves through her head. She manged to sit up but regretted it when her stomach flipped with sickness. She looked through narrowed eyes at the now empty bottle of vodka beside her. Damn. She’d gone hard.“Mia?!”Mia shook herself, if she didn’t respond her mom would come in here. It probably stunk of vodka and she likely didn’t look too good either.“Yes, mom! Just wanted a lie in.”“It’s noon, Mia! Get up!”Mia’s eyes cut to her alarm clock. Damn. It must have been really hard.“Yeah. Just let me get up and shower then I’ll come

The first thing she did was find Brook. She had to know why she’d published this. She’d asked for a draft, not the final revision! She found her in the room set apart for the class paper, shuffling through different documents.As Mia made her entrance, Brook looked up. “Ah. There’s my star writer. That article sure is making the rounds. I’ve never had so many requests for copies!”Brook looked genuinely chuffed. Did she not get the drama this was causing?“What the hell Brook? I thought we said a draft! I didn’t know you were going to publish the damn thing!”“What’s the problem? You were obviously happy with it. You wouldn’t have sent it otherwise.”Mia put her head in her hands. “I was…a bit drunk. I never would have sent it otherwise.”“Ohhhh,” Brook tapped the table. “That’s why there was so many spelling and grammar m

“You alright, honey?”Mia looked up to find her mom standing at the doorway.“I did knock…but you didn’t answer.”Mia took off her headphones. Since coming home from school she hadn’t moved from her bed. “I’m fine,” she lied.Carla cocked her head to the side. “Okay. You don’t look fine.”Mia scoffed. “Thanks.”Carla sighed and pulled out Mia’s desk chair before sitting down. “You know I didn’t mean it like that. Come on. Tell me what’s going on. We never talk anymore.”“Yeah well…we argue after most of our ‘talks’,” Mia grumbled. She knew she was being belligerent, but her mood was too bad to be nice.Carla cast a glance outside of Mia’s window. She wasn’t prepared to give up just yet. “I know we haven’t been as close recently, and I know we’ll nev

Mia had woken up earlier than usual. If she was going to pull this off, she had to be one of the first people in school.When she appeared at the breakfast table 30 minutes before the usual time, her mom raised her eyebrow.“Are you okay? You’re never down here this early.”Mia grabbed a piece of toast and coated it with a quick swipe of butter from the dish before taking a chunk out of the corner. “Yeah,” she said through a mouthful of crumbs. “Good. I need to get in early this morning. No time to stop.”Carla followed her daughter to the hallway, watching Mia place the bit of toast in her mouth so she could use both hands to pull on her shoes.“Does this have anything to do with the grand gesture you’re planning?”Mia grinned. “Maybe. Anyway. Gotta go.”Carla waved her off and hoped that whatever Mia was planning, it wasn’t going to get her into too much t

The last time Mia had been in this room was when she’d thrown the lunch tray at Ryan. It was strange to think how much had happened between then and now.“Have we failed you in some way, Miss Fernwood?”The sound of the sour faced principals voice made Mia jump. It took her a few moments to realise what she’d asked.“Erm…no? I don’t really know what you mean,” Mia answered.“Well, looking at your previous school reports, not once have you been called to the principals office. You’ve never had a detention. By the looks of it, you’ve barely been told off. So, I’m asking, have we failed you? Because You’ve only been here a few months, and you’ve already assaulted someone with a lunch tray and broken into a school office to misuse the PA system.”“I didn’t exactly break in…”The principal sighed. “Just answer the question, Mi

“Where the hell were you?”Carla was trying really hard to keep her voice down. She didn’t want the girls to hear them arguing. Not when they’d just given them a long speech about trying to get on. But Bob’s nonchalant attitude was really starting to grate on her.“I told you. I was in a meeting with an important client.”He wasn’t giving her a lot of direct eye contact. This only made her more suspicious.“And what about Mary-Jane’s phone? Why was that off too?”Bob sighed and went to the fridge. “Because she was in there with me. Honestly Carla, can you give this a rest now?” He pulled out one of the cans from the fridge and took hold of the ring pull. “But even your office line wasn’t answered! Surely Mary-Jane steps out for calls?”Bob swung round to face her, his mouth set into a thin line. “It isn’t any of your busi

It had been a strange week for Ryan. After the article had come out, he’d decided that he’d had more than enough of Mia Fernwood. All she’d done is make his life more complicated. And it was already complicated enough.But then she’d done that whole apology stunt, and his mind had wavered. It didn’t help that Savannah had tried to muck with Mia’s truck. It made him wonder if he really should continue to put the effort into that relationship. Was she really who he wanted to be with?He decided that he was going to hang out in the shop for her shift. Maybe spending more time with Mia again would give him a better idea of what he wanted to do. Not only that though, his dad had been pretty well behaved of late. Ryan didn’t think for a second it was because he was changing in any way. It just meant when his dad snapped, it was going to be explosive. And there was every chance that he would turn up at the shop to terrorise his mom wh

Mia stretched her arms high above her head, enjoying the feeling of the soft grass beneath her and warm sun above. She sighed happily and turned her head to smile at Ryan who was bopping his head with his eyes closed in time to the music emitting from his phone beside them. They had just finished their final exams, and all that lay before them now was a blissful summer together.She leant over to him and placed a soft kiss on his cheek.He opened his eyes and smiled. “Finally relaxed now?”“Definitely. I’m glad all that’s over now. I need a break before I start college. I feel like my head was going to explode trying to cram all that knowledge in.”Ryan laughed. “I’m not surprised. I’ve never seen someone study so much….it’s pretty nice to spend time with you while you don’t have a book in your hand.”Mia rolled her eyes. “Yeah yeah. Well I had no cho

For a long time, they just stared at each other in silence. Mia didn’t understand what was happening. What was he doing? Her vision flickered, and Ryan suddenly spoke up.“Just hear me out Mia, okay?” He pleaded, his eyes wide and shining.She thought about protesting. She thought about walking out. But instead, she found herself nodding.His shoulders seemed to relax.“Thank you. Listen, I know you’ve told me you’re going. And I know you’ve told me that we’re not going to be together anymore, but I can’t let you go, not without telling you everything. Not without telling you exactly how I feel about you.”Mia swallowed. His eyes were boring into hers, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t look away. It had felt such a long time since she’d allowed herself to be lost in them. She was hypnotised.“I know we had a bad start. A very bad start. And I know that

“How many boxes have you got left?”Mia looked round at the rest of the pile. “Probably about five or six maybe? After that it’s just the stuff I’ll need for the trip.”Carla nodded. “Okay good. Are you sure you still want to drive your truck on your own? I can always pay for it to be transported back. Then you can come in the car with me.”“Don’t be silly. That’s gonna cost loads. And anyway, you know I’ve already done the trip before. I’ll follow behind you. It’s going to be fine.”Carla frowned. “Well. Alright then. But we will be taking plenty of breaks, as well as a stop over. Got it?”“Got it.”Carla had hired movers to take most of their belongings to Philadelphia. That truck was going to be leaving soon, but they were sticking around a little longer so Mia could say goodbye to Tilly.“I’m just going to

School had finished for the Christmas term. Mia had tried to keep a low profile in order to escape the school gossips as much as possible. Which was hard when you were embroiled in the current drama of the town. It had also come out about her mom and Bob, and people were now looking at her with a mixture of pity and confusion.After she’d told Ryan she was moving, he had stayed away from her. Mia was both glad and sad. Part of her was pleased he wasn’t causing any scenes or trying to win her back, but she also couldn’t help feeling disappointed too. If he claimed to feel so strongly for her, wouldn’t he want to put up any kind of fight? Then she remembered how easily he’d given her up at the dance and she realised how silly she was. She was sure it wouldn’t be long before he found a new girl. After all. He was still Mr Popular.“You okay, honey?”Her mom’s voice jerked her out of her thoughts.“Y

Mia was frozen. The corridor had fallen into a stunned quiet, although the sound of hushed whispers could be heard like the rustling of leaves in the wind.Footsteps approached her from behind, and she knew just from the echo of the sound that it was him. He moved round so he was facing her, his mouth set into a hard line.“All I’m asking, is for you to give me five minutes of your time. Please. Just let me explain everything.”Mia nodded. After all, he’d just announced his private business to the whole school. If she didn’t agree he might just follow her around shouting what he wanted to say.He led her away from the corridor down towards some empty classrooms. They walked side by side, but Mia found herself acutely aware of the negative space between them. She was torn between wanting to move further away and closing the gap between them. She wasn’t even processing the statement he’d just made.Ryan found

In the few days Mia had been away, Carla had managed to move all their personal belongings out of the house. Most of it was in storage, but the few personal things they needed for every day use had been placed in the motel rooms she’d paid for.Bob hadn’t even put up a fight. On the night of Mia’s winter dance, Carla had followed Bob’s car. She’d watched in agony as that woman had climbed in next to him. How they’d wrapped themselves around each other. From the way they’d moved against each other, Carla could tell this hadn’t been the first time.When she’d confronted him, Bob didn’t even seem to care. She’d screamed at him, asking him why he’d let her move her and Mia here just to cheat on her. He’d shrugged and told her he couldn’t help who he loved. That had been the real kicker. Carla had decided it wasn’t worth fighting with him. Their marriage had been a lie. That night she&

Despite her strange surroundings, Mia slept well and without nightmares or bad feelings. She actually felt refreshed in the morning when another officer came to wake her. She was sorry to hear that Office Park’s had already left for home. She felt like she’d not expressed her thanks enough.The morning officers made sure Mia was feeling settled enough to drive before they gave over her truck keys. Hamlet seemed like he’d had a night full of being pampered, and Mia was relieved to find he was his usual wagging self.When she got to her truck she briefly felt flashes of terror as memories of last night entered her mind. She pushed them away though. Something about Officer Park’s words had inspired her. She wanted to be strong too. She didn’t want the actions of a few thugs to affect her. But it was time to go home. As sad as it was, Philadelphia didn’t feel the same anymore. It wasn’t what she had hoped it would be. All she could

Events appeared to move by in a flash from that point. Mia watched as the thugs dropped what they had in their hands. The brick made a loud thud as it hit the concrete of the parking lot. The beer bottle the other guy had been holding shattered, the pieces fanning out like ripples on water.The first officer continued to hold her weapon while her partner handcuffed each man. She spoke into her radio and Mia guessed she was calling for back up. Minutes later it arrived, and more uniformed officers appeared. Mia looked on as each man was led away and placed into a nearby vehicle. Once they had been taken, the female officer came up to Mia’s window with a warm smile.It took Mia a few minutes to realise that it was finally safe to open her car door. Shakily, she switched the lock and pushed it open.“Hello Miss,” The officer began. “I’m Officer Parks. Are you okay?”Mia nodded. “Yes. I mean. I think so.”

It had taken Mia a long time to calm down after she’d started crying. People in the park had looked at her like she was a crazy person. As soon as she was able, she had walked briskly back towards the car, Hamlet waddling behind her trying to keep up.When she got back to the truck, she was determined to try again. She wanted to feel connected to her dad. She drove round to the diner they’d always gone to for pancakes, but as soon as she pulled up she noticed that the whole place had been redecorated inside. Nothing looked the same. As she looked through the window that was framed by Christmas lights, she felt the tears coming again. Not wanting a public repeat of the ice rink, she hurried back to the car and sobbed in there instead. She’d thought coming back to the place where her and her dad had spent time together would help her feel closer to him. In truth she just felt further away. It was like it was compounding the fact that she was on h
