Gone

Chapter 38 [Juliana] Back to Normal *

 

On our way over to Mickey's house, I can't help but wonder what is so important for her to tell us. Maybe she likes him... Oh my god, I honestly don't know what I would do if she told me she had feelings for Blaze. And I mean, at this point, aren't me and him broken up? Aren't we just going to be friends with benefits? Yeah, I guess. But do I want to be less than his girlfriend? No way. I love him. And I don't want to lose him but I know that there's a huge chance I will, even if he does love me.

 By the time we get to her house is when my nerves are killing me, and making it hard to breathe. Why are we even hear to begin with? Why does she need to talk to me and Blaze so badly?

"Hey Mickey," I softly let out, noticing how comfortable she looks with her lose gray sweatpants and black tight t-shirt reading 'Sex,drugs,rock and roll' written in white on it. Of course.

She looks over at me and half grins, but it looks forced. "Hi Jules," she practically whispers, walking straight over to where I'm standing, and gently wrapping her arms around me.

"What's this for?" I ask in a mutter.

"I'm so sorry about your dad, Juliana. I really am..."

I let out a small breath and hug her back. "Thank you," I tell her. "I'm okay, though. Didn't really like him anyways."

"Well then, that makes all three of us," she snorts, glancing over to Blaze.

"Make that four," Spencer adds in, walking past us all and sitting on the couch. "Hate my dad too."

"Have you talked to your mom yet?"

 I look back over to her and slightly shake my head. "Nope," I mutter.

She nods and says nothing more, as Blaze steps closer to her and stares down at her, with a real serious expression overtaking his face. "Is something wrong?" he quietly questions, her shrugging in responce.

I swallow hard and finally let out a deep breath. "You can tell us anything, Mickey," I honestly state, them both staring over at my uneasy face. I can't help but feel anxious as I notice the guilty and gloomy look in her eyes.

She closes the front door and walks by Blaze and I, almost in a daze, sitting down on the couch in criss cross position. "I know I can," she easily rushes out, as I take Blaze's hand and link my fingers through his.

 "Well let's hear it then," Blaze lets out unexpectedly, walking me over to the couch across from where Spencer and Mickey are sitting on. He still doesn't let go or pull away from my hand, which makes me much more comfortable. I have to be prepared for this.

"Okay," she says in a hushed tone, us all staring at her in complete silence.

"Do I get a reward for making these two screwbirds come here to your house?" Spence asks, as she rolls her eyes at him and I can't help but laugh.

"Shut up," Mickey tells him, deeply sighing afterwards. "Maybe you should leave or something, because you're a jerk."

"Oh come on," he snorts, shaking his head and putting his shoes up on the coffee table. "I'm just kiddin around with ya, Mick."

"Well cut it out, I'm in a weird mood tonight," she tells him, looking really anxious all of a sudden.

"Are you alright?" I suddenly speak up, her glancing over at me and saying nothing. "You just seem like, I don't know... Worried or nervous, I guess you could say."

"Yeah I agree with Julie," Blaze softly says, as I quickly glance over at him and grin, then returning my eyes onto Mickey's widened ones.

"I am nervous," she eventually tells me. "I'm nervous because I don't know how you're all going to react to what I'm about to tell you."
