All Chapters of Being Alive: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

What the hell?! I started ringing Jeremy back. *Call declined* I called him one more time. *Call declined* Ughhh. I texted Jeremy: What do you mean? Oh Jeremy, what did you get yourself into this time?Jeremy?! But he didn’t answer. Then I noticed that he had seen my texts. He started typing... And then he left the chat. I didn’t know what to do. I couldn’t go searching for him in the middle of the night. Moreover, I didn’t know where I should have searched for him. I decided to call his mom. Maybe it was a bad idea, but I didn’t have any good ones. I dialed Mrs. Huss’s number.“Hello?” she answered after a few seconds. “Hello, Mrs. Huss. This is Kylie!” I exclaimed.“Hello, dear. What happened?” her voice softened.“Sorry to disturb you so late! But do you know where Jeremy is?” I qui

The next day started as always. I waited for Jeremy to text me about what had happened, but he didn’t. I hoped that we would meet each other at school. When Linc and I got to school, I noticed Mia and Gill standing near the school. They were fighting as it was visible that they were angry, especially Mia. That’s why it was hard to notice them, they wanted to talk in private. I hope everything would be alright. They had been fighting a lot recently.“What are you looking at?” Linc asked me, closing the doors of the car.“Mia and Gill are quarreling!” I answered, pointing at them. Linc followed my gaze.“Why?”“I have no idea. But they have had a lot of arguments.”“They will be alright.”Then I saw Dylan and Raf sitting there and looking at us. “Hey, guys!” I exclaimed. “Hey, Walkers!” Raf said.Dyla

My jaw dropped.“What did you say? I asked, bewildered. “I will explain,” he stated cautiously. I remained placid as a doll, having convoluted thoughts inside me head. “That night, when I found out about dad, I ran out of the house and went to the bar,” he trailed off.I understood that it was very difficult for him to think about it.“When I was there, I drank a lot, to the point that I was wasted, like I lost control. I barely remember anything and it took some time for me to return to that night. I wasn’t thinking clearly. Someone came to me and asked me how I was doing, he said that it was obvious that I was hurt. I just told him everything. Sometimes it’s really easier to tell a stranger about your problems than to your friend, because they forget about you and you forget about them and life goes on. But this time it was not like that at all,” he looked out the window. I looked at him, bewil

It was already the morning. When I woke up, I looked at the clock and saw that it was still early. It was 5 A.M. I have no idea why I woke up. But maybe it was because of my thoughts which couldn’t leave my mind. I was geeting much more agitated.I got up and went to the balcony to breathe fresh air and to analyze everything that had happened. It was cool outside. I could feel soft wind hitting my bare parts of the body. I felt shivers down my spine, but I didn’t want to go inside. It was satisfying to feel cold. My phone started beeping. There were new messages from Jeremy and Steven. I opened Jeremy’s texts and read them Good morning! Are you okay? I just feel so bad and hope that you will break off that deal. Good morning! I’m okay, really! Don’t worry about me. You shouldn’t feel bad, Jer. I won’t break off that deal because I am sure that nothing bad will happen!

There was Steven. I must admit that he looked...nice. He was wearing a denim jacket with sleeves rolled up to the elbows. His arms were covered with selected veins. Also he had black jeans on. “Looking stunning, as always!” he stated with a smirk plastered and checked me out. “Yeah, you are awful, as always. I guess, people don’t change!” I maintained the compliments. He laughed and added:“Really, this dress fits you. I am great at choosing hot outfits, right?” “You are here to take me to the party or to hear me complimenting you, Kirby?”I closed the doors and put the keys in my bag. He put his hand on my waist and escorted me to the car. I hit his hand and he took it away. When he wanted to open the doors for me, I closed them and opened them for myself. He laughed and went to his side of the car. When he sat down, he stated:“You know, y
