Gone

Chapter 26 [Juliana] Heartbreaking News *

                                                                     1 MONTH LATER

An entire month ends up passing us all by, and a lot of things have changed. The partying on the other hand, is so much more intense than it  was a few weeks ago. Blaze and I are doing great, he's my boyfriend legit, and we're practically joined by the hip because we never want to be apart from each other. I used to like him so much but lately my feelings for him have grown so much stronger, and I can tell he really loves me just by the way he looks at me. He's so amazing and has such a difficult life that I wish I could help make better for him. But this world's just too hard and there's nothing I or he can do to make life easier. Screw everything. Life's one huge party.

 Mickey's doing pretty good, to be completely honest. Don't get me wrong, she still partys with us and is the craziest one out of us all but a few things have been going on.  Tessa's not doing that well. Last month her mom found a bag of weed in her bedroom so she did a surprise home drug test on her without any warning, and she even did a pregnancy one too. Obviously it came out positive so her mom drove her to the hospital to have a real professional one done too, and Tess ended up calling Spencer balling her eyes out because of how upset and disgusted her mother was with her.

Next thing we knew was that she was grounded and then three weeks ago Spencer visited her because he hadn't seen her for a while and he found out that she had an abortion. You think he wouldn't be mad, right? That's so wrong. He was so angry at her because she didn't even tell him what was going on that he ended up breaking up with her. That was three weeks ago though and now his opinions about what happened kind of changed. Bottom line is that he definitely wasn't ready to be a dad and he didn't want to be, and Tessa wasn't ready to raise a kid either. We haven't seen her ever since because she's been depressed but finally tonight her mom ended up letting her come out for a few hours.

Blaze hasn't been home at all, he's just called and talked to her on the phone, and his dad is still in a rehab and will be for about another month. Since it's his birthday his mother really wants to see him and she practically begged him over the phone, so it turns out that Blaze is going to go back home and see her for a little bit, and he's bringing me, Tessa, Spencer, and Mickey with him. Xavier was going to come at first when we called to see if he wanted to, but he decided he just wanted to stay at home because he wasn't in a good mood. If anything he sounded like something really deep and emotional was on his mind so we figured we'd just stop by at his house later on.

“So when do you think you’re going to be here?” I ask Blaze through the phone, as I sit on my bed and stare into my mirror.

“Ah, probably five minutes,” he says. “Is that good for you?”

“I’ve been ready,” I sarcastically tell him. “I look pretty hot in this new skirt.”

“I bet you do.”

“Just beep when you get out front, and I’ll be waiting on the front steps or I’ll run out when I can,” I quickly say to him.

“Aright. Cool.”

“Okay,” I mutter. “So, I’ll see you soon.”

“Hell yeah.”

“I love you Blaze,” I whisper into the phone, hearing him softly laugh.

“Love you too Julie.” Click.

I hang up the house phone and wish I had my own cell, but my parents are too dumb and ignorant to pay my bill for me. I don’t want a job, therefore I understand I can’t get money to pay for my own personal cellphone, but that’s what I have my mom and dad for, isn’t it? I put some hairspray in my hair, scrunching it a little more so it has that crimpy look, and I put on some black eye shadow to make my eyes stand out. I apply my clear lip gloss to my lips, to make them look fuller, and then I step into my black boots which matches my black jean skirt that I recently bought. I finally pierced my own nose after I took a trip to a place in the city to get my tongue pierced, so I look so much sexier and I love the new me.
