I didn't want to wake up. I was having a much better time asleep

And that's really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved.

I woke up into a nightmare ...

I slept most of the day. I couldn't stop thinking about Chandler .

I know I needed to move on, we didn't date for a long time but I did love him.

I needed him, to be honsest. He made me feel special. Like when we first met ...

{FLASHBACK}

Chandler sits next to me.
I can feel him staring at me so I
turn and look at him.

He smiles. I give him a small smile back.

" Hey Beautiful, my names Chandler " He says smiling causing me to blush.

***

I need to get my mind off of him. I text Veronica and ask her if she wants to hang out. She replies quickly with a ' yes ' .
I told her to meet me at the park in an hour.

I stay in the clothes I'm in now and walk to my bathroom and brush my hair out a little bit.

I take off all my makeup that's smeared ever where from crying.

My eyes look so puffy so I put on some base and bronzer to try and make it better.

It barely works. I put on some mascara and walk back into my room.

I grab my phone and walk down stairs to get something to eat.

My dad still isn't here. Thank God.

I walk into the kitchen and make a sandwich. I stuff the shit down my mouth like I'm starving. Which I am..

My phone starts ringing.
It's Veronica . I smile and answer .

" Hello "

" Hey I'm at the park already "

" Okay I'm on my way "

" Kay see ya " She says and hangs up.

I walk out the door and head to the park.

****

I can see Veronica sitting on the swing on her phone. I smile and walk to her.

" Hey Stranger " I smile .

" Oh my gosh hey " She gets up and hugs me.

" Missed you .. Like always " I say.

" Same " She let's go.

I sit on the swing next to her.

" So what's been going on ?" She asks.

" A lot ... " I say looking down.

" like what ..?"

" Well ... Chandler cheated on me with that hoe Joyce. We argued for a while. Then we broke up. And ... " I lifted up my sleeve.

Her jaw drops. " Beth .. I'm so sorry. "

I look down again. " You know I'm always here for you no matter what. You need to stop doing this to yourself. I love you. You're my best friend. I don't want anything to happen to you. Okay. "
She says placing her hand on my shoulder.
" Thanks I love you too Veronica " . I say smiling.

For the rest of the day we talk about random stuff.

Once it gets too dark we decided to just go home and talk tomorrow.

" Bye Beth " She says and waves.

I wave back and walk home.

It take me like 20 minutes to walk home because I walk really slow.

While I'm walking I hear someone behind me. I stop and look. There was no one there..

I start to walk again and someone jumps in front of me.

" BOO ! " The person yells.

I scream. " WHAT THE FUCK DUDE !"

They start to laugh. " Sorry "

It was that kid Sam. The one that Chandlers friends with.

" What the hell are you doing Sam ?"

" Nothing .. I just seen you walking so I scared you. " I glare at him.

He chuckles. " What are you doing anyways "

" Going home dipshit " I say annoyed.

He puts his hand over his heart " Rude "

I laugh. " Yeah whatever "

He smiles.

" Why aren't you with Chandler .."

He mentioned him ... Ughh.

" Uh .. We broke up. "

" What ?? For real ? " I nod.

" The way he always talked a bit you made it see like you guys were never going tono break up "

" oh." Is all I say.

" Yeah well I catch you later.Bye "

" Bye "I wave.

I finally get home.

My dad still isn't here. What the shittt.

I go upstairs to my room.

Put on some sweats and a tank top.
Take off my makeup and take my ass back to sleep.
****

Before I fall into a deep sleep, I hear my phone start to ring.

I let it ring for a little longer.. until the ringing gets annoying.

I let my eyes adjust to the bright screen.

It was a private number.. Who the hell would call me private ?

I answer it.

" Hello?"

" Oh my god Bethany... " The person says relieved.

" Uh. Who is this?"

They start to cry. " Beth, this is your mother .. "
