Goodbye Cheese state and Hello Cali by Missy (good ebook reader txt) 📕

Hick… hick…. Hick….. My name is Mayella not hick…. A patch of lightening covered the sky, and thunder filled my ears. I looked up, and water drenched me. I let out a scream.
“ OH F*CK ME!” I said throwing my hands up in the air. I started to walk down the street not knowing where the hell I was going and I don’t care anymore. I continued to walk, and I was shaking. I was wearing shorts and a tank top, and I was dying. My teeth where shivering, and I was in my own la la land, not paying attention to what I was doing, and I stumbled over my feet while crossing the street, and fell flat on my face. I muttered cusses under my breath trying to regain my balance, and I saw a flash of light in front of me. I stumbled back with a scream, and prepared myself to get hit…. Nothing…. I opened my eyes, and saw the car inches away from me. the door swung open, and I saw someone coming towards me. I let out the breath I was holding, and fell onto my back on the road.
“ A- Are you okay?!?” A familiar voice hovered over me. I opened my eyes and saw Ryder.
“ hey you,” I sighed. He picked me up bridal style and put me in the back seat, and drove off. I was moving around whenever he hit a bump. My head was pounding and I thought I was going to die! The car came to a stop, and Ryder opened the door, and picked me up again. I mumbled some words that I myself couldn’t even translate. Ryder let out a slight laugh, and he rang the doorbell. Tristan opened the door with a smile on his face, and it quickly dropped.
“ What the hell happened to her?” Tristan asked.
“ I found her outside in the middle of the road,” Ryder growled.
“ let me take her,” Tristan said.
“ No its fine. I’ll take her to her room,” Ryder muttered glaring at Tristan.
“ you’re not stepping into my house,” Tristan said raising his voice a little. I started to move around in Ryder’s grasp and he looked down at me.
“ Let me down,” I whispered. He gave me a worried look and sighed, and lightly placed me on my feet. At first I swayed a little, and then I regained my balance and smiled at him. “ Thanks,” I smiled. He just nodded his head, and I let out a sigh. Ryder stood their looking at me, and then he muttered something underneath his breath which I couldn’t catch. Tristan closed the door and turned around to look at me.
“ I thought you said you were going somewhere and had a ride home,” Tristan growled.
“ I was going somewhere and I did have a ride home, but then some things happened,” I said turning away to go to the basement. I stumbled forwards, and Tristan grabbed my arm to keep me up but I shrugged him off. “ D- Don’t touch me,” I slurred.
“ Are- Are you drunk?” he yelled.
“ No,” I whispered. I put my finger to my mouth. “ Sh I have a headache and don’t feel good....” I muttered making my way to the stairs. I started to go down the stairs, and I felt so dizzy, but I continued. I got to the bottom stair and I saw Ti, Rain, and Jeremy sitting on the couch. They turned around expecting Tristan but when they saw me their jaws dropped. I did a faint smile, and made my way towards my room.
“ You’re not even going to tell me what happened? Huh are you? HELLO?!?” Tristan yelled. My body cringed, and I pressed down on my temples.
“ I said I don’t feel good and have a headache…. So if you wouldn’t mind…. SHUT THE FUCK UP!” I screamed turning to look at him. At first he looked taken back. “ Fucking, stupid, ass,” I muttered underneath my breath walking towards my bedroom. I stepped in and collapsed to the floor. Tears flooded down my face. I heard the door open, and I looked up and saw Ti standing there. He knelt down next to me, and I looked up at him. “ Whatdya wan’?” I whispered.
“ What’s wrong?” He asked. I let out a laugh.
“ What looks wrong Ti?” I muttered.
“ Why are you sad stoop,” he said wrapping his arms around me.
“ it’s nothing,” I whispered.
“It’s obviously something to make you act like this,” He said. I looked up at him.
“ Everyone… all they see me as is this hick girl that moved from the cheese state, and don’ fit in,” I sighed.
“ Screw what everyone says,” he whispered.
“ It’s hard to when EVERYONE says it,” I muffled into his chest.
“ I didn’t….” he smiled. I rolled my eyes. “ Don’t worry Mayella. You’re a strong person,” He said getting up.
“ I was,” I whispered looking at the floor. He knelt back down and lifted my chin up.
“ Are.” He said sternly and then walked out of the room. I sat their staring at the door, and I mentally slapped myself. I can’t believe I just had a total breakdown of what others think of me…. I got up, and my body was so soar. I sighed, and fell onto my bed. I went into my pocket to call Tommy boy, and then I realized I lost it. I fell back into my bed biting my pillow. DAMNIT! I don’t know why I let troy get to me… I never realized how lonely I am here…. I don’t even have one person I can really trust. I’ve never felt so alone in my whole life. I felt like there was a huge hole in my heart. I scrambled out of bed, and walked into the front room, and saw Tristan sitting on the counter.
“ Tristan?” my voice sounded dead. He looked up at me giving me a questioning look. “ Can I use your phone?” I asked looking away from him.
“ Where is yours?”
“ I lost…. I lost it,” I sighed. He then threw me his phone, and I tried to catch it but it fell to the ground. I quickly picked it up. “ S- Sorry,” I muttered. I looked up at Tristan and he was looking at me like I was crazy. “ What?” I muttered. He shook his head.
“ ugh- it’s nothing,” He said. I nodded my head and turned around and went back into my room. I dialed Tommy’s number. I know it by heart. After five rings I heard him answer.
“ Hm hello?” he yawned into the phone.
“ Hey Tom,” I whispered.
“ May?” he asked sounding more awake.
“ Hmm.”
“ What’s wrong?”
“ Tommy… I’ve never felt so alone in my whole life….” I said tears spilling out of my eyes.
“ Your… are you crying?” He asked. I let out a laugh.
“ Im so pathetic,” I cried.
“ No sh…. Mayella….” He said smoothly.
“ I never realized how you, Jim, and Bradley where like my life. I feel so lost, and empty without you guys… I miss you guys so much,” I cried.
“ We miss you too Mayella,” he said quietly.
“ Tommy….” I groaned.
“ What?”
“ I don’t know what to do,” I whispered into the phone putting my head in my hands. “ I don’t know what to fucking do.”
“ Who did you let get to you May?”
“ Everyone…. I let everyone fucking get to me. I usually don’t give a damn what people think about me, but tommy boy… I stick out like a sore thumb here,” I sniffled.
“ Don’t you change Mayella Lynch,” he said sternly.
“ Never tommy boy,” I smiled. A laugh escaped my lips.
“ What’s so funny?” he laughed.
“ how you can always make me smile when im in the worst moods,” I sighed.
“ And I find it funny you only call me not Jim or Bradley.”
“ OH they never answer their damn phones… I honestly don’t know why someone doesn’t answer their phones if they own one,” I grumbled. Tom started to laugh, and I took a deep breath. “ I Dunno tom…. I Dunno….”
“ Yuh Dunno Wha?”
“ I Dunno how long I be able to last here….” I mumbled looking around my room. “ Im losing all my memories tommy…. It feels like im losing my father a second time,” I muffled into the phone trying to hold back tears.
“ he is always going to be in your heart Mayella. No matter what.”
“ I know…. But it’s still hard.”
“ life is hard….”
It was quiet for a few minutes.
“ well I’mma let you go. Thanks for being their tommy boy,” I smiled.
“ Always will be May. Call me tomorrow when you get the chance. Love you bye,” he said and then I heard a dead line. I took the phone away from me ear.
“ love you too tommy boy,” I whispered shutting the phone. I looked at the phone, an di felt tears forming in my eyes and I quickly shut them back. I aint gonna cry no more… I am who I am…. And I like who I am. I got up and walked out of my room, and saw the guys wrestling. I cleared my throat and Tristan looked up at me, and I tossed his phone to him. It hit his arm, and he glared at me.
“ What?” I scoffed.
“ You couldn’t hand it to me?” he said sticking his nose up.
“ Your lucky I didn’t chuck it at yuh,” I growled. A huge grin spread across his face, and I cocked an eyebrow at him. “ What’s with da creepy smile thingy going on?” he just continued to smile, and I rolled my eyes and walked away muttering creep under my breath. I walked into my room, and before I shut the door someone ran in and wrapped their arms around me. I was taken back, and saw Tristan’s hair. “ Tristan?” I muttered.
“ I was smiling because your back,” he said breaking apart the hug, and looking me in the eyes.
“ Whatdya mean?” I asked.
“ when you came home it seemed like you just gave up on life. You didn’t talk back to me, give me sass, or act like a little…” He stopped. “ Well you get the point,” He smiled. I smiled and hit his chest.
“ Im mad at you,” I said poking him.
“ Why??”
“ Because of what you did at school,” I whispered.
“ Im sorry Mayella,” he replied.
“ Your forgiven but I aint gonna forget it, and I am a hick, and I don’t care what you and all your Cali friends say,” I said the last part quieter.
“ Don’t lettem get to yuh Mayella,” he said lifting up my chin.
“ You where one of them,” I said shaking my head at him.
“ Once again I am sorry about that too,” he said.
“ Are you?” I asked looking him in the eyes. we stood their looking at one another for some time, and I took a step back. “ Goodnight Tristan,” I whispered.
“ You’re going to be my sister…. Im sorry. I care about you Mayella. I look at you like your my baby sister, and I have to tease you.”
“ Sister?” I hissed. I turned around. “ Our parents aren’t,” I stopped when Tristan was looking me dead in the eyes. “ SHE IS GETTING MARRIED
