Chapter 21 - Hurting you was never my intention.
~~
"What is it called when your crush has a crush on you?" Logan asked excitedly.
"I don't know."
"Imagination!"
I gave him a flat displeased look. "If that was supposed to make me smile, you aren't doing a good job."
He sighed dejectedly, tapping his finger on his chin. Thinking of another lame joke. Until now he had said quite a few jokes and although some had made me smile a bit, I just wasn't in a mood to laugh. I simply wanted to cuddle into a ball of sadness.
I sighed and leaned on my Tom and Jerry cushion staring out of the window. Contradictory to my mood, the day was sunny and lovely which made me melancholier. I frowned at the sun, hoping it would get my message and hide behind the clouds for the rest of the day. When it didn't, I twisted my lips and turned to my friends who at least respected my emotions.
We were in my room, mom had said no boys
Chapter 22 - Five down. Zero to go.~~~You know you have lost something when you let it go and it doesn't come back.Those were my exact feelings at the moment. I was trying to survive day six 'being-away-from-Bryan' and it was strenuous, pathetic and pure, unadulterated torture. And I was failing miserably. My ability to keep eat like a pregnant elephant had suddenly vanished and the only thing my stomach could bear was milk, ice cream and fruits. The water in my body had probably drained considering the number of tears that my eyes produced hourly. But then again a tear is 1% water and 99% feelings. In that case I should be devoid of feeling anything. Which was true too, I felt numb.I had waited, holding a ray of hope that Bryan would at least try to talk to me after our conversation but all my hopes drowned themselves into an ocean of despondency; when he ignored me the very next day at school. I died
Chapter 23 - You and Anastasia are so similar.~~Recap:My rescuer turned to as if realizing for the first time that I was still there. He grunted, throwing another punch and got up, kicking his rib. The pervert was totally unresponsive, hopefully fainted but not dead. I didn't want to be in a court as a live witness for the murder of a guy who almost took my virginity unwillingly.My knight in shining armor took a tentative step near me and his face came nearer, I gasped. "Sean?"~I stared at the person who saved the creation of an atrocious memory, Sean O'Connell, in pure shock. He was the last person I was expecting to even come here, saving me was beyond notion. I blinked, wondering if my drunk eyes were playing 'Guess Who? Not him'. One look at his slight smirk and black eyes I was thoroughly sure it was Sean O'Connell, Bryan Cooper's step-brother and Anastasia's ex fling or whatever it is that they had.I blin
A new chapter! Enjoy with cookies!--Chapter 24 - Getting dressed in nudity.~~"Did you know that you can't tickle yourself?""Yes.""If you listen to a particular song more than thrice the same day, you sing it for the rest of the day?"Experienced. "I know." I curtly said, looking out of the car window.Bryan grunted in irritation, looking at me. A pretty scowl on his well sculpted face."Eyes on the road." I snapped, pointing at the road.He rolled his eyes but turned to face ahead. "Did you know Justin Bieber has more Twitter followers than Canada has people?"My eyes widened in surprise and horror. My first instinct was to go and search for his Twitter account as I wasn't following him but I held back, not ready to give him that satisfaction. Bryan smirked noticing my dilemma."I knew that too." I lied, folding my hands under my chest."Liar.""Am not."He
Chapter 25 - I'll fall with you.~~"What? No! You can't do this. What about me?" Janice cried in horror opening her mouth wide for extra effect."Janice." I warned. I already knew where this was going. She was going to pull the fake guilt card.She pouted and then started blinking her eyes in innocence. "But you promised we would be together, we would love each other endlessly, get a home in Hawaii, furnish it ourselves, after that we would adopt two pretty babies, spoil them senseless and have a great life. And now- now you're datingthisguy." She pointed at Ace with distaste who was looking at us with fear.He coughed before gulping. "You two were together?" He asked in terror, taking Janice's words so seriously that it made me mentally double over in laughter.Before I could answer, Janice spoke, waving her forefinger at him. "Of course we were and we will be despite which everstupid&nb
Chapter 26 - P-A-S-T. Previous Asset Successfully Thrown.~~I stared at the person I never thought I'd meet. I stared at her hour glass figure and elegantly dressed fashion and then looked at my dark blue sweatshirt and white shorts. I instantly felt insecure. I couldn't even blame Bryan for falling for her. She was drop dead gorgeous.I blinked a few times, hoping she would disappear. But she didn't in fact she was coming straight at me.A cherry topping to my already bad day. Awesome.I debated with my inner self on whether I should just turn away and walk off, acting like I never saw her or stand there and hear her heart wrenching words. Something inside me stopped me from moving, my legs didn't seem to cooperate at all."Joanna." Her voice was surprisingly soft but the snide smile on her face screamed fake."Anastasia." I greeted back with the same fake smile."I thought I would never get a chance to meet
Chapter 27 - I smell babies.~~"Dylan is so sweet!" Janice gushed over the phone."Oh yeah? Did you eat him?" I joked as I drew funny patterns on the bed."Haha very funny." She said in a flat voice which instantly changed to excitement in her next words. "He took me to this new water park, the one which recently opened, you know the one which we were planning to go? Yeah that one. He took me there, he knew how much I love water rides. Isn't that sweet?!""I think it was just because he wanted to see you in a bikini." I scoffed.There was a mild pause. "I hate you."I chuckled. "I hate you more.""Fine bye."Rolling my eyes, I sat up knowing this conversation would last for at least an hour. "Drama queen. Give details."And then like predicted, my next one hour was spent in listening to every minute detail of her date, including the number of times he 'accidentally' touched her arm and stomach.&n
Are you mentally prepared for this? Are you? Are you?I don't think you are.But legoooooooooooooooooooooooo!Chapter 28 - Just because we had sex doesn't mean you can control me.~~"So what are we doing here?" I asked Ace, settling on his bed in Indian style."Why? Completing your bucket list of course." He informed smirking and removing a well folded paper from his back pocket."Do you keep it with you all the time?" I pressed my lips together, finding it rather amusing.He simply winked at me and sat beside me, keeping the open paper in front of me.I glanced through the old and yet immaculate paper.Joanna's Bucket list: (If found do not read)✔1)Scream from the terrace of a high building on why I love Disney movies.2) Compliment every sad looking person on the road.
Chapter 29 - Your password is so predictable.~~I was still looking at my once best friend, Alan McCarthy, in utter bewilderment and distress when Ace stepped towards him, punching him square on the face.I didn't do anything to protest. I couldn't. I was frozen in complete shock."You are a pathetic excuse for a friend." He snarled.Alan stumbled back from the punch but held himself together. The blank vile expression on Alan's face didn't change. He spat on the ground and looked at Ace with so much hatred that it even shook me to the cores."You are a pathetic excuse for a gang member." Alan sneered. I blinked my eyes hoping that the Alan I knew would come back.Where was the friend who held me when I fell in my freshman gym sessions? Where was the friend who made me smile when I was feeling low? Where was the friend whom my mother adored and let him have the cookies even though he dropped crumbs all over the floor
