I Belong with You by Abbie Davis (feel good books TXT) 📕

   The summer is empty to me now. All that I take in for joy is playing with Ace and hanging out with Josh and Kristen. Yes my happy life has fell apart right in front of me. Alex hasn’t been seen for days now but they didn’t move to another state. I tried to call him after I saw him at graduation and after the plays we did but nothing. He has took me out of his life all because I would be in danger.

  I seat in my window and watch everyone outside play and have a good old time. Last year when the school let out Kate and Layne came by to see me but they ran by and just looked at the window. My world is ending now. I can’t even work on a natural bases. I hardly ever eat anymore and I can’t get this pain in my heart to go away from me.

  Josh sat in my room with me as I stared at my wall that had his wolf on it. I wanted to run my fingers through that fur and feel how soft it is to my touch. I loved that feeling but no I’m empty without him here for me. I sighed as I got up and went to the door. Josh followed me out as I went to the kitchen to see if my mom got back from her trip.

“Do you want to go skate?”Josh said,”That use to make you happy.”

“What’s the point in being happy,”I said looking at him,”For what you care about the most to get taken away from you.”

“Wow that was dark,”Mom said,”You still haven’t fixed her.”

“I can’t even get her to eat Ice Cream,”Josh yelled,”She is broken and I have no idea how to fix her.”

“Well that’s just…”My mom said stopping before she said the curse word.

“Go ahead and say it,”I said walking out of the house,”I don’t care about that anymore.”

   The didn’t say anything after that since cursing was one of my biggest pet peeve. I walked out to my dirt bike and got on it. I need to clear my head of all of this. I started the engine and listened to the roar of it. I got my helmet on and zoomed away from the house of my painful life. I let the wind fly through my hair as Alex’s truck passed by me. He looked at me as I stared at him. He had the window rolled down and was staring ahead of me.

“Catherine look out!”He yelled as I was flipped.

   I landed on something soft and my head was spinning like the world was playing tricks on me. I could barely hear anything as Alex’s face was spinning around in my sight. He took off my helmet as he was yelling something at someone. I saw a swirling version of Jacky step out with a phone talking on it.

   I looked forward and saw that Alex was mouthing something to me. I tried to concentrate on that as my hearing seemed to be slowly coming back to me. I tried to listen to it but it was still fuzzy to me. I felt my body get tired as it wanted to go down but I tried to fight it off.

“Don’t die on me,”He said as my hearing got better.

“Alex,”I said horsely,”What happen?”

“You hit a deer,”He said,”Then you hit your head on a rock.”

“Is the deer alright?”

“Yeah, Kate’s looking after him right now.”

“Alex am I going to be alright?”

“You will.”

“Alex,”Jacky said,”Josh and her mom are on the way. It will be soon when the medics get here.”

“Did you get a vet,”Kate yelled as the deer came with her,”For her to check out the deer for Catherine.”

   I looked at them all as the red and blue lights came to my view. I was picked up and placed on a bed as they looked around for someone to go with me. Alex told Jacky to get the truck home and joined me in the truck. I closed my eyes as the doors were shut and I blacked out.

~~~3 hours later~~~

  Beep, Beep, Beep

   What’s that stupid sound coming from? I could only see darkness. I slowly saw the pictures of Alex and me hanging out and having a good time. They seemed so far away now that he was gone now. It changed to when he left me and my eyes decided to work then. They slowly opened up to see that Alex wasn’t here anymore and he was replaced with Josh.

  Josh was in the chair beside the bed with his head next to my hip. I laughed and slowly raised my hand to poke him. He caught it before I could and laid it down. I gave a little smile at him as my mom and dad sat at the end of my bed. They looked like they had a heart attack.

“I’m so glad you’re alright,”Dad said facing me with a smile,”When Jacky called saying you got into a accident I almost had a heart attack.”

“Where are they?”I asked looking around.

“They left when we got here,”Josh said.

“I told you that boy was bad news,”Mom said kissing my head,”I’ll see you when you get home.”

“Alright,”I said horsely.

  She left the room as Josh had to go home to see his dad. I looked out the window as Dad walked to sit in the window. I heard a knock on the door and turned to see Alex, Jacky, Alicia, Layne, and Kate all standing there. I waved them in as Kate and Layne crawled on the bed to sit with me. I looked at Alicia and Jacky as they both smiled at each other then to me. I turned to Alex as he tried not to look at me.

“Kate’s my Mate,”Layne whispered into my ear,”I forgot to tell you when we went skating.”

“That’s alright buddy,”I said ruffling his hair,”Just take care of her.”

“How are you?”Alicia asked,”Kristen is scared to death right now.”

“Fine I guess,”I said looking at Alex,”Thanks for helping me Alex. It means a lot to me.”

“I don’t want to lose you forever,”He said looking me in the eye,”I’ll be there to save you.”

“Then turn me,”I said as his face seemed pained,”I would be with you forever and then you don’t have to worry about me getting hurt all the time.”

“I just can’t do that to you,”He said walking out.

   I watched every step as my heart shattered into a million pieces. Jacky did that for Alicia but I can’t get that without being told no. I watched as they walked out one by one with Layne staying the longest. He was the one that saw me like an older sister and loved me like one. I turned to my dad as a tear rolled down my cheek. Why does this have to be so hard? Why can’t this be like a fairy tale where the boy gets the girl? Why can’t he change me?

 “She’s is undergoing depression,”The doc said to my dad,”She will be taking some meds that will help with it.”

“Thank you Doc,”Dad said with a hand on my back.

“If you need anything call,”Doc said as we walked out the room.

  I was in there for two weeks and they figured out that I was in depression. I don’t even care anymore what people think about me or even if they see me cry. I just want to have my boyfriend back to be with him again. I feel like I’m on the first step of everything that takes time to build up. I hate this feeling and everything that goes with it.

  Dad lead me to the car as I stared into the blank world. I was being trapped in my own little world of hate and depression. I got into the car as he was staring at me as if wondering if something was wrong or not. I looked out the window as he sighed at something. I took out my cell phone to see if I can get Josh to come over.

“Hey,”I said.

“What you want now?”He asked,”Whoa that’s normally what you would say to me.”

“Can you come over?”I said with a puppy dog emoji with it,”It would mean a lot.”

“I wish I could :-(,”He said as my face dropped,”Dad got me working today. Maybe tomorrow.

“Alright.”

“Hey you and Kristen could spend time with one another today.”

“I’ll do that then.”

“Talk to you later.”

“See ya.”

  I texted Kristen quickly telling her to come over if she can but she had to babysit her cousin. Great no one to hang out with. I looked out the window and saw Alex’s wolf. He was looking at me and then ran away. I faced forward as Dad rubbed my arm. I huffed as the car came to a stop in front of our driveway. I ran in and up to my room. Ace was there asleep on my bed like he does now.

“Move over,”I said pushing him,”I want on my bed to.”

  He licked my face as I turned over to face the far wall. I stared at it as my music began to blast out of my speakers. At least I got nothing else to look forward to.

~~~Alex~~~

   I walked into the house like Mr. Clark had asked me to when they got home. I looked around and saw the same warm walls that held pictures of Catherine as she grew up. I saw one though over the fireplace of me and her together. I was behind her with my arms around her neck as she looked behind and up to me.

   That day seemed like nothing could have gone wrong and it was just perfect. Now life is like...Tartarus came to ruin life. I think he is the pit guy. Catherine would know about that. I looked around and saw Mr. Clark staring at me as I moved to take a seat. I heard music blast from above but that was all. No talking or laughing.

“Her friend and cousin are busy,”He said as if knowing,”So she is all alone with nothing to do.”

“Why am I really here?”I asked wanting to leave.

“I want you to fix my baby girl,”He said taking a seat,”Her hope filled eyes have went dark. She has started to carry a gun with her. She doesn’t even like weapons but she said it was for the in case moments. I think Josh is changing her.”

“Kristen can fix her.”

“Kristen is here only when Josh can’t be here.”

“That’s not even possible.”

“When you left her. She ran back in with tears running down. A few moments later Josh ran in and up to her room. Kristen didn’t even know what happen till a week after it.”

“You’re saying that Josh is most likely taking advantage of this and is trying to show her the monster.”

“You tell me,”He said looking me in the eye,”She’s in depression, Seeking safety in her cousin, and No one has seen her since the graduation.”

   I looked up at where the broken form I had left would most likely be. I been staying out of sight for the memories of us hunted my heart.
