Where were you? ( slow updates)

~Chapter one~

Description ♡*edited*

"Where were you at my mom's funeral?"I say harshly at her.

"Where were you at my first art show?"
I shout loud, people start looking at us.

Before I leave I whispered quite at the words I needed to tell myself for years.

''You just disappear without letting me you were safe".

~3 years ago ~

I sit across from Laura at lunch we start talking about how high school is going to be the best years of our life.

To be honest, I was scared as to what was to happen when we go, but I didn't tell Laura that because she would just tell me that it was going to be great, also do not worry.

      I didn't get why in movies, high school seems like fun and parties. Were they trying to warn us? But then again I think too much and over think stuff. You see that's the problem I couldn't ignore high school or skip over it. I had to overcome it to a least get in college or university.

We keep talking to someone that catches Laura's eyes."Aaron look who's here".I watch where Laura's eye is looking at. It's a tall man probably in his 30 but not too old.He had a pair of sunglasses but you could see there were some wrinkles beside his eyes. As well there were dark purple bags under his eyes. His hair looked like it was starting to grey. The scary thing is that he was wearing a dark blue suit that had too many pockets to count.

   Laura seems scared and you could tell she was nervous about the mystery man.I  Remember Laura talking about her past of a guy who took her family away from her and done nothing but causes bad things to Laura.

  The official calls Laura down, she gets up she starts shaking but still able to walk. I give her a look that makes her calm down a bit but not an enough. A few moments until she comes back with sadness in her eyes. She walks up to me," I have to leave, I don't know what to do. Should I leave and come back without notice"? "No you will be fine, he's probably here to tell you sorry for what he has done ". I say but a part of me thinks something is going to be bad but I put that feeling away. "This isn't going to be a goodbye, I will see you later ok "? I wasn't sure if I was telling that to her or to myself. "Ok I guess but if something happens when I'm gone this afternoon tell me, you got to keep me updated". She starts to smile, I would be lying if I said I would never forget her even if it sounds cheesy. We walk back to the bad man. I stop and wave to Laura, she waved back but her smile fades away more when she walks out of the school doors.

That was the last time I saw her.

~Week later ~

   It's been a week since Laura left I was starting to get worried. I kept telling myself there's nothing to worry about, she's fine. We'll that change my mind when I saw two big men going towards Laura locker and opening it. They put her things in boxes. Students started to stare at what was happening. Some people give me a small sad smile to me.I walked up to the man and asked them what they were doing and a hold bunch of questions that were running through my head. But they simply ignore me and started to walk away from me. Well, I couldn't have it so I ran to them and kept asking they were the same before no response.  A teacher who I didn't have caught wrist and told me to calm down. How could I calm down if my best friend seems to disappear out of thin air? I try to get out of his reach but of course, he's way stronger than me. He tightens his grip when I burst all my strength.  I finally got out and ran to the man but they were in the car and drove away. I feel tears coming through my eyes but I didn't want anyone to see me cry, so I blink them back.

~ Weeks later ~

I became weaker the weeks, I barely had friends but they seem to always want me to forget Laura. But how is that even possible? Even when I been friends with Laura in grade six crying out loud. This wasn't fair none of it seem to be real. But what could I do then think that I never got to say goodbye?

~ Year later~

  I had thoughts of Laura here and them. But every time I bring that time where she left I always seem to tear up a bit. I was in high school so I guess I came along to this mess up jail called high school.

I had become someone new. It's definitely not the same person last year. It wasn't like a" glow up "or anything. But truly became some different person that you never met.

  I made friends with some cool kid on the first day, they seem trustworthy to me at least.I also try out the soccer team. I got in which surprise me at first but then again I was pretty good in middle school. Not to mention my dad leaving my mom and me but it came to my mind that he wasn't good enough for both of us.

~two years later~

  I started to have a rough start in the new year cause of drama with some other boys thinking I'm a freak. But I'm still strong on my feet as I took care of it.

    But I almost fell again when my mom died in a car crash. I felt being left behind with all my emotions. Trying to ruin me until I give up. But I didn't give up that easily. I tried rebuilding my walls to stay away from pain. My aunt Karen now takes cares of me. I should feel grateful that I didn't get to live with my dad and his new wife. I wished that the next year will be better than this trashy one. That I will probably leave in the past. But what if I can't, what if next year will be 10x worst. The only thing I can do is wait and see the future that waits for me.
