Gone by By: Morgan:) (ebook reader library TXT) 📕

said he will never leave you. That boy loves you.” She said while giving me the bowl of ice cream. I sniffled from all the crying. “He’s not gone, he will be back.”
After I was done with my ice cream I went to my room. I laid down on my bed. I know this wasn’t the end of the world. I know that he will come back. I kept telling myself. I picked up his shirt which he had left on my floor. I took off all my clothes and put his shirt on. I crawled back into bed and smelled his shirt and when I closed my eyes I saw me laying on his chest and me smelling his sent. Oh, how I loved his smell. I fell asleep not long after that. ~~~~~~~~

“Please, don’t go.” I begged Alan.
“I have to.” He replied which only made me cry more. He kissed me and I kissed him. Our lips didn’t come unconnected. I pulled away and hugged Jesse.
“Remember your promise.” I told him.
“I remember.” He said and kissed my cheek. My Mom hugged Jesse and they said there goodbyes. I saw my Father in his bedroom window. How could he not come down and say good bye to his son? How could he be that mean?
“Alan,” I said to him as I hugged him again. “Promise me, no matter what, you wont stop loving me.”
“I promise.” He said crying. I wiped his lip which had pink lip stick on it and his eye which were all wet. I let go of him but he pulled me back. I embraced his arms and his love. I didn’t want to let go. I laughed at the smeared makeup.
“Jane, he has to go.” My Mom said and tried to pull me away. I didn’t let go of him. The tears were rolling down my cheeks now.
“No.” I mumbled after I let go.
“I love you.” He said just before he started walking to Jesse’s car which has Jesse’s friend in the front seat to take him to the train.
“I love you too.” I said. My Mom held me so I wouldn’t run after him but that didn’t stop me. I ran off the porch and jumped into his arms. I kissed his lips over and over again. He sat me down and I bit my lip.
“Tell me that we belong together!” I cried.
“We belong together. You are my one, my only.” He said. He walked towards the car. He sat down and was about to close the door. I had to say something. I had to try to say something to make him stay.
“If you truly love me, you wont go!” I shouted as he got into the car. He sat his bag down and walked up to me. I was worried. What would he say?
“Do you really think that I don’t love you?” He asked me.
“No but,” I started.
“No buts, Jane. I love you so much it hurts. You have to know that. I’m doing this for me. If you loved me you will let me go.” He said. He kissed me once more and then I let him go. He got into the car. I chased it down the drive way. I stood, alone, looking at the car which had just disappeared into the distance. I hung my hands. A tear fell from my eye and hit the dirt and shattered. I turned around looking at my house. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I saw the car. It had come back. It parked ten feet away from me. Alan ran out of it and picked me up. He kissed me so passionately.
“I couldn’t leave you.” He said through our kisses. Jesse got out of the car and leaned against it and watched us as we kissed. I pulled away from the kiss and opened my arms to Jesse. He came up and hugged me. ~~~~~~
Just as Alan was going to kiss me again I woke up. Debbie began jumping on my bed. My sheet fell to the ground and my shirt came up to my waist.
“Well, well.” She said with a chuckle. I quickly pulled it back down.
“What are you doing?” I asked still half asleep. In fact I didn’t even want to wake up. That was one of the best dreams ever. Only if it wasn’t just a dream...
“I’m tired of watching you sleep.” She said and took off my covers which I covered my face with. “We are going to the beach.” She pulled me out of bed.
“I don’t wanna.” I argued.
“Did I ask you if you wanted to?” She asked. She crossed her arms over her busty chest and leaned on one hip.
“No but,”
“No buts! Get dressed before I have to dress you.” She said. I groaned and got up. I slid on my undies and a pair of shorts. I put on my bra and my bikini top. I looked over at Debbie. She was wearing her pink poodle skirt and her black shoes.
“Aren’t you a little dress up for the beach?” I asked her while tying my top.
“I just came from a family thing. I ditched.” She said. She sat on my bed and looked at my night stand. I had a black and white picture of Alan and I. I was on the swing in the back yard wearing my sunday clothes. He came up behind me and kissed my cheek. I loved that picture and thats why I framed it. She picked it up and looked at it closely. “You took two are perfect for each other.” She said quietly. I threw my hair up in a bun and took off my glasses and smiled.
“How’s John?” I asked her while sitting next to her. She sat down my picture.
“I don’t know.” She sighed. “The girl he was with at the beach that one day, Sally I think her name was, he’s been seen hanging around. He doesn’t even see me anymore. I think its really over.” She said and looked at me. I hugged her.
“He wasn’t worth your time.” I told her.
“But I loved him.” She said.
“There will be more guys and more broken hearts.” I said truthfully.
“I know.” She said. “What am I going to do for Olivia’s wedding? I don’t have a date anymore.”
“Well, since Alan left I wont have a date either.” I told her. She sighed. I thought of the guys she had dated before. “What about Charlie?”
“Charlie Jankins?” She asked. I nodded. “He was too clingy and I think he wasn’t as straight as I thought.” I chuckled.
“Okay then, he wont work.” I pointed out the obvious. Deb didn’t date many guys. She kinda stuck to John.
“I don’t know but lets go to the beach.” She said and stood up. She looked down at her out fit.
“Wanna borrow a bikini?” I suggested. She nodded and I went to my closet. I grabbed out a bikini and a pair of shorts. I handed them to her and she changed. We both walked down stairs and grabbed a pop and headed out the door. I got into my car and we headed to the beach. When I pulled into the lot I looked out over the water. It was so beautiful, the way it was moving and the way the sun hit it just right.
“You okay?” Debbie asked.
“Fine.” I reassured her. We got out of the car and walked towards the music. I saw Johnny, Kenny, Marcus and Pete. They came up to me and gave me a hug. I’ve known them since middle school. I’ve never really hung out with girls besides Debbie. I found that they lie too much and that they don’t always watch your back. I found Johnny, Kenny, Marcus and Pete and they have always had my back.
“Hey gorgeous.” Johnny said while kissing my cheek.
“Has that dork Alan gave you up yet?” Marcus asked. Debbie hit him in the gut.
“Actually he enlisted and left yesterday with Jesse.” I told him.
“Oh, I’m sorry.” Marcus said.
“Its fine but I’m going to miss him, you know?” I asked but then I realized that I’m the only girl the guys have ever talked to. “Never mind.”
“Wanna take a swim?” Kenny asked me. Kenny and I were always the closet. He’s always the one who I would go to first.
“Yeah!” Debbie and I said. We both slid off our shorts. The guys acted like pigs and whistled. I hit them in the gut.
“Stop it.” Debbie said while she was laughing with me. Kenny picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. He ran into the water. He instantly slowed once the water got knee high.
“Kenny!” I shouted as he went deeper into the water. I held onto his strong biceps making sure I could fall. I put his hand around my thigh. Once the water was up to his pecks he set me into the water. He slowly set me down leaving his hands around my waist as we looked into each others eyes. His bright blue eyes shimmered with the water. His sandy colored hair hung down. His red lips called me out. We both went in for the kiss. I didn’t know what I was doing but for some reason, I could stop. Just as our lips were about to touch Debbie came up behind him on Johnny’s back. Kenny jumped and I backed away from him. We both realized what we were going to do. He didn’t seem as concerned as I did.
Johnny was hugging Debbie. I gave Debbie that look and she smiled back. Johnny always had a thing for Debbie. I guess Debbie just liked guys with the name of John but Johnny was so much different than John was. Johnny wasn’t a player like him. You could tell that he wasn’t just kidding and that he really did love her just by the way he looks at her and says her name. I floated backwards in the water. Marcus came up behind Kenny and patted him on the back. Did he see what we were going to do? I was worried that someone saw. What would they say? I’m not a two timer. Nothing happened. I kept telling myself.
After a while of swimming I got tired and swam back to shore. I laid my towel on the beach and watched the sun set. I went back to Alan and I dancing in the street. Kenny followed me back to shore. I laid with my shades above my head. He came up from behind me and laid his towel touching mine. He laid down next to me. I looked at Marcus, Johnny, Pete and Debbie in the water. Johnny came up behind Debbie and wrapped his arms around her flat stomach. He kissed he neck. She turned around and there lips touched. My jaw almost dropped. That was the moment she had been waiting for.
Pete, Johnny, Marcus and Kenny were all good looking fella’s. They were all fit, and I mean freaking buff. They were all tanned and handsome. I was lucky to have such caring, good looking friends. I looked over at Kenny’s wet body. He looked so good. He shook his wet hair all over me.
“Ah!” I shouted and tried to cover myself. He laughed at my yelling. I laid down and covered my eyes with my sun glasses. I closed my eyes and relaxed. When I opened them Kenny was leaning over me. I took off my glasses and sat up. As
