❤️Chapter 39❤️

Anna Sun - Walk the Moon

Bittersweet Symphony- The Verve

The night air was fresh. It gave me chills as the fresh air hit my skin. The sun had set and I was walking back to my dorm. The walk was only about 15 minutes. At the speed I was going it would take 10 minutes.

I had given up on Connor. I need to leave him alone. It isn't worth fighting anymore with him because he doesn't want me in his life anymore. Why try and get him back ? Connor wants nothing to do with me. I guess he's seen the scary side if me and decided he's had enough.

The only thing that bugged me was that he didn't get an explanation. I just want him to know that I didn't trust Luke with all that information. He won't talk to me anymore but that's okay. All I want is for him to at least get the reason behind this all.

My blood boiled at the mention of Luke or thought. I don't want anything to do with him. Never in my life again. I have had it with him. He has done something so incredibly stupid and ridiculous. I bet he wouldn't like if I did something like that to him. I mean no one would. I want to stab him for the fact that he did all of it to me. I did absolutely nothing wrong. He took Connors revenge on me.

He claimed that it would make both of is miserable but clearly now Connor is better off without me. So I'm the only one who looses in this whole situation. Maybe this will be good for me. Maybe now my life will be easier. Besides it was Connor who brought this to me. He's just taught me to be more free.

On that note. Why is he mad and not me ? He caused all of this! He's supposed to be apologizing and I'm supposed to accept it because he still loves me no matter what. But no. He doesn't love me and he isn't asking for an apology.

I just don't know how I let this all slip away and happen. I wish I was more smart and aware of my surroundings. Not just be with some boy who brings nothing but trouble. By this point I realized that maybe my mom was right. Sadly, she warned me saying he would leave. But I didn't listen. Something about this hot, tattooed, bad boy attracted me. But I should have listened.

By the time I was out of my thoughts I was already back. The walk had worn me out. I really need to start exercising more. I really want to stay away from that whole "freshman 15" myth. I concluded that I will have more daily runs. Maybe have a nice parfait now and then.

I got off the elevator and decided I would give it some time. Maybe go and explain tomorrow or somewhere around then. It's late and I don't have the strength to cry or talk or get mad anymore. I entered my room and flopped on my bed resting there.

I realized that tomorrow was my first day at my new work. I was happy I didn't have that crudy job anymore. I could finally do something I loved. Get credit for it too. Hopefully the boss would be nice. Nothing screams don't go than a mean boss.

I got up decided it would be best to take a shower and get to sleep early to be ready for tomorrow. I can not mess this up.

My alarm clock awoke me and I rubbed my eyes to see better. I laid in bed for a while staring at the ceiling. I got up and changed into some running shorts and a sports bra. I tied my running shoes that I've had for a while just never used them. I pulled my head back and put on my headphones.

The morning air smelled like freshly cut grass. The sun was out and it was nice and sunny. It was a perfect day for a run. I began jogging towards the north side of the campus. My running to the rhythm of the music. Nirvana blaring through the speakers as sweat started to form on my skin.

30 minutes into my run I pause to catch my breath. I heard a muffled cry from somewhere not to far. I took of my earphones from my ears to hear more clearly. I heard voices and a whimper coming from the ally. Being the snoopy person I am I walk over too see if I can find anything.

The voices become more clear and loud as I get closer. A females voices seems to be loud and angry. I peeked over the corner making sure to not be seen. A boy up against the wall with a terrified face seemed to be the victim. His face seemed familiar but I couldn't put it together. The girl was screaming and throwing her hands in the air.

"It's all your fucking fault Justin!" The girl screamed at his face. I recognized the name and I remembered. The really smart boy Justin that sat next to me in my class.

"You better not fucking mess up next time. Why do you always have to be such a fuck up?!"

I was afraid for him and knew it wasn't any of my business but I still approached them. The girl was about to slap him but I grabbed her arm before she could slap him. She turned around angry and looked at me confused.

"I don't think you want to do that." I said calming her down.

"Excuse me? Who are you? This is none of your business !" She fired at me. Her confidence taking me by surprise.

"His friend and I don't like you hurting him. Let's go Justin" I said back to her. Justin grabbed his bag and left with me.

"Thank you so much " he said once we were out of her sight.

"It was no problem." I smiled at him. "See you tomorrow in class !" I said as I jogged back to my room.

I took a shower and got dressed into some suitable clothes for my first day. I wore my hair up into a stylish messy bun. I wore a plain shirt that was white and loose. Over it I wore a oversized flannel that was black. Along with it I wore some plain jeans and cream colored boots.

I didn't wear any makeup besides my lip gloss. I walked out with my keys in hands and my long brown bag. This job was only 10 minutes away so if I were late it wouldn't be so bad with the drive. I pulled up in front of the regular sized building that had some French name on it.

"Hi I'm Bethany Mota. I'm the new intern here." I introduced myself to the lady at the front desk. The walls were covered in turquoise paint with some black designs. Many photos covering the wall.

"Hello Bethany my name is Susan. Mrs.Kimberly will be waiting for you in her office. 3 doors to the right." The nice middle aged woman directed me to her office.

I walked down the hall seeing more photos that were easily shown to be theirs. The office was big and decorated with pictures and plants. The lady on the phone was stunning. She had blue eyes with long blonde hair. Her hair pulled back into a slick ponytail. Her front bangs giving her a classier look. She was wearing black blazer with a white shirt under. Her tight black pants matched her tall black heels. She was around her 20's.

"Hi sorry about that. You must be Bethany? My name is Kimberly " She extended her arm out and I shacked it.

"Yes. Nice to meet you" I smiled at her. She got up and walked around her desk.

"How about we get you started." She walked out of her office and I followed behind. We walked down the halls and reached a door. We walked in and it was another office. It was very typical and looked clean.

She explained how for right now I would just start off with doing paper work and dealing with other things. She said that more on I would later on get started with actually doing photography. I was surprised I had gotten my own office. I was actually very excited for this job. It could lead me to my dream job.

My phone buzzed and interrupted our conversation. My wallpaper popped up and I gasped and grabbed it before she saw it. I still had the picture of Connor when we were in the car. I felt loneliness fill me at that memory.
