After I walked away from Noah; ending our relationship. I hurried on back inside the house, slamming the door shut and leaning my back against it.
How could I be so blind?
How could this happen?
I thought we were perfect. Thought everything was okay..yet everything went wrong.
Why me? Why?
"Hey..your mom asked me to come check up-" Mia said, trailing off the last part as she walked in the doorway and saw me tempting to hold in my tears. Which I wasn't doing good job at. "Cameron. What happened?" She hurried over to me with a concern look.
"We're done." I sniffed. "Noah and I are done." My voice cracked and within a second tears busted through and I let out loud sobs. Sliding down to the ground.
Mia joined me on the ground, bringing me into a big hug to comfort me as I cried my broken heart away, ruining her shirt with my tears.
I read romance books and watch cliche romance movies, and one thing they always had in common was heartbreak. The main character ends up breaking up with their partner or being cheated on. They become upset and cry then the next thing you know; everything is okay. Not for me. The ache in my heart didn't feel like everything was okay or going to be okay.
This wasn't just a simple situation where I broke up with Noah because I wanted to protect him or I lost feelings; he cheated. Not in plain sight but behind my back with a girl who I despised more than anything and who feels the same towards me. You just don't do that. And truth be told some hatred for Noah is grown inside of me.
At this point I didn't know what was the truth anymore or what's not. Everything he ever said to me was a lie now. All of it; all his actions. Things will never be the same.

Weeks Later
"Wow, you girls did an amazing job on the yearbook this year." Max complimented Mia and I as he flipped through the pages of this year's, 2019 yearbook.
"Yea well it was not easy at all." I said, throwing a grape into my mouth.
"Tell me about it." Mia agreed. "Please don't ever convinced me to do things such as this ever again."
I scoffed and slightly laugh. "What? You were the one that was so on taking yearbook all because you didn't want to take gym class-which you ended up having to do anyways."
She pouted in defeat and crossed her arms. "Oh shut up and eat your grapes." Max and I had laugh at her stubbornness and the fact she got caught. They both went back to looking at the yearbook together while I continued devouring my lunch; which consisted of a half turkey sub, some chips and grapes with a lemonade drink.
I didn't get a chance to eat breakfast this morning because I woke up late from staying up all night, doing homework.
Okay I lied. More like I stayed up all night watching teen wolf. The show ended some time ago but it's such a good series that I couldn't help to rewatch it all from the beginning; starting with season one. I tried to put my phone down and head to bed several times but the "next episode" button kept calling my name.
Luckily I didn't feel asleep in any of the four classes I has so far already. Now I just got to keep it like that for fifth and sixth period. Hopefully.
I chewed down the bite of my turkey sub and wonder my eyes around the cafeteria. My eyes went everywhere until they stopped on a specific table, a specific seat. Noah's seat.
I began to get this uneasy feeling as my heart started to ache. The same I felt when things ended. Three weeks had passed since I broke up with Noah in front of my house. Three weeks since I last saw him. Within those weeks I didn't take the whole situation well. I cried day and night and when I thought I couldn't cry no more I poured out like a waterfall. I stayed mostly in my room, to myself, I didn't even feel like myself at one time. It was bad. Thankfully with the help of my mom and Mia I managed to get myself together and get back up.
It has crossed my mind now and then how is he? Did he take the breakup as bad as I had? Did he move on? More specifically where is he? Now that I think about it.. I haven't seen him at school for days now. Normally I would pass by him in the hall or see him hanging with the basketball team in the cafeteria, but no sight of him at all.
That's crazy. Noah doesn't missed school, ever. One time in eight grade he had a fever of 103.3 yet still came to school. When that happened to me before I made sure to stay my butt at home in my comfortable bed. Which goes back to the point that something isn't right.
Is he avoiding me? That's why he not coming to school, to avoid me?
Maybe he is just enjoying a vacation..with Olivia.
Oh hell no.
Maybe- maybe he-
"Cameron." I heard someone call my name, snapping me out of my daze. "Are you down or what?" Mia asked.
I wore a question look, squinting my eyes. "Down....."
"To go to the movies tonight."
"I'll see." I shrugged. "I got a lot of work to finish,a project to submit, and check back over my college applications."
That and I know going to the movies with Mia and Max only meant that they were going to be focusing on each other and each other only. As much as I love Mia and like Max; I don't like the idea of being a third wheel.
Mia sigh and nodded. "Well, if you change your mind your always welcome to come." I nod kn agreement and we finished up the lunch period.
But for some reason I couldn't help to not think about Noah's disappearance.

I pulled into my driveway after a very long, tiring day of school. Coming home with exhaustion was starting to become a routine of mines. School is getting harder week by week, year by year. Before in time it use to never be this stressful and exhausting; it was simple. But in my favor I only have to put up with it for a month and half. Then after it's graduation and bye bye high school!
It's weird how everything flash before your eyes. It feels like just yesterday we became seniors and now we're becoming graduates. Either way I'm excited.
I gathered my backpack from the front passenger seat and open the car door when my phone buzzed in my jacket. I reached in my jacket pocket , grabbed my phone and checked to see who it was. My screen light up with the contact name 'Mom.'
Mom:
Hey sweetie, I was texting you to let you know that I have another double shift tonight and won't be home until late. I already made dinner and put in the fridge; all you have to do is heat it up. If you happen to leave the house to go somewhere let me know, please. Stay safe and have a good night. I love you.❤️
I smiled at heart warming message and responded back.
Me:
Okay, thank you and I will. Love u too❣️🙂
After I typed up the messaged, I got out of the car, shut the door behind me and made sure to lock the doors. As I was about to walk up the driveway into the house, I heard the front door of Noah's be slammed. Causing me to look over. Could that be that Noah? Was he at home the whole time?
I waited for the handsome, green eye boy to walk by any second now. But he never did. I only came in sight of Noah's dad instead. Mr. Johnson was walking to his car when he spotted me standing there, looking at him. I tried to look away but the fear and nervousness toke over. I was frozen.
"It's nice to finally see you again." He spoked in deep voice. I didn't care to respond back, so I turnt around and continue on walking to my front door. Ignore him. Ignore him. Ignore him. "Haven't seen you around Noah lately. Let me guess you guys broke up." By the way he said it, it sounded like he was happy about us not being a couple anymore. What an asshole.
I tried to block him out as I put the house keys into the door to unlock it. But the next thing he said cause me to halt and shake in my tennis shoes. "I would love to let him now I ran into you, but unfortunately he is out of plain sight... FOR GOOD."
