No No No No (Final Chapter!!)
When I got up this morning, I felt great. I had a nice open mind about Drew, and was still trying to sort these now feelings I have for Devon....Maybe today wasn't going to be so bad. Or not.....I have cheerleading practice today though. Ugh.....I yanked on a pair of jean shortshorts, and a plain Paramore band tee shirt, along with my rugged black and pink converse. I decided against much makeup and only put on some mascara and lip gloss. I wasn't feeling like covering my face from the beautiful sunny day.
I grabbed my bag, and cell before walking down the stairs. I smelled bacon and my mom was making eggs.....wait a second! What the hell?? My parents are still here? They aren't at work?? What the hell is going on here?? "Belle, we need to talk to you...," my father mumbled, reading the newspaper. Ah hell.......
"I just got promoted to senior manager in the enterprise, and this will be the very last time.....but we are moving sweetie," said my dad in a clear voice. I stood there frozen. Wha- What??? We are moving!!!??? Oh My God.....My throat closed and my eyes widened as the words slowly soaked into my brain. We-Are-Moving.
"What!? How-how could you do this to me?" I blubbered, tongue-tied, "I finally get situated with friends and get back some of the time with my best friend, You are gonna make us move again!??? How could you! Has anyone ever thought about my feelings?? We have moved over fifteen times, and you have never once cared!!," I was seeing red, and couldn't stop the sea of words from leaking out of my mouth. I was sick of having to start my life over and over and over in all these different towns. I was happy here, even if things weren't going exactly perfect....being here felt....right. I felt whole.
My mother was staring at me, speechless. And my father had a calm expression on his face, and he was still reading the paper. It was like he had expected me to throw some sort of fit. I guess I was throwing a teenage fit.....if that is what you wanna call it. But, I was tired of having to give up my friends, and everything I love here, and start over. What are my parents giving up? Well, let's see...I think my mom is giving up her garden and my dad is giving up his tool shed, which he can't take....wow! I rolled my eyes, and turned before running up to my bedroom.
I needed to calm down, I was going to be calm and look at this in a collected and mature attitude! Well what do we know? I am going to have to say goodbye to Drew, Devon, Anne, and my new job I got, and haven't even started yet!! I was going to start that job today....Ugh everything in my life seems so unfinished and unreal. Well, if I look on the bright side, I will be leaving Gerdie, Cheerleading, and Devon's attitude....
Hmmmm, I should WANT to leave his attitude, but I have seen another side of him, and that side I didn't want to leave. But, the look on my dad's face had been enough to know that we ARE leaving. Ah shit, everything is a mess!!!!
I grabbed my phone, and dialed Drew's number. I decided I wasn't going to beat around the bush, I was going to be straightforward.
"Hello," he answered.
"Drew I am moving again," I stated, he was silent for a long time. 'Uh, Drew ya there?' I asked getting worried.
"Yeah, I- again?" he blubbered.
"Yeah............again," I answered. Something as different here. Drew sounded sad, but not like when we were kids......
"I'm coming over," he said and hung up. Wow, Deja Vu......
---------------A Few Minutes Later-----------
The doorbell rang and I opened the door to see a very worried looking Drew. He frowned when he saw my miserable expression. He pulled me into a hug and I hugged him back. I wasn't going to cry, I wasn't going to cry.....
He rubbed my back in a soothing motion and looked me into the eyes. "Bells, can I talk to you?" he blurted suddenly. I nodded and he led me to the couch, we both sat and he seemed to concentrate on how to begin talking.
"Remember that day in the pool...?" Of course I remembered that day...the day he tried to kiss me. I nodded, wondering were he was going with this.
"Yeah? Ok, that day....did you want me to kiss you- I mean did you have feelings like...." he stopped talking and looked at me for any understanding of what he was saying. "Did you want me to kiss you that day?" he asked, searching my face.
Did I want to kiss that day? Yes. Did I want to now? No.
"Well then....yeah. But I mean now......well...no" I desperately searched his face for any hurt, please don't let him like me now....!
A relieved look slowly made its way across his face, "Oh good.......I was worried since that day I told you about my ex, my girlfriend now, that may be you had liked me....and then I remembered that day in the pool. And I never told you, but I used to have a crush on you and when you moved back I couldn't tell if I had gotten over that crush or not. But then my ex showed back up, and that snapped me out of my, whatever I was in, and helped me realize that I don't have that crush on you anymore....but I was worried you might...but you don't! So that's good.......I mean you are pretty and everything...and-" he was still talking!
"Drew! Shut Up!," I broke into a fit of laughter, and Drew smiled. Once a "Chatter Bug", always a "Chatter Bug"! He looked at me again.
"So, I guess this is goodbye.....again" he gave a sad smile. I hugged him again and he kissed my cheek before turning around to leave. Before he left, he set a cold object into my hand and left. I opened my tightly closed fingers and saw a locket.
It had his picture in it, the one from a long time ago, and a recent photo of him smiling. The font said I will Miss you Forever! I couldn't stop the tears then and they flowed down my cheeks in salty streams.
I grabbed a box to distract myself, and remembered I had to tell Devon......and he isn't home. I don't have time to tell him in person anyway, even if I knew where he was......I sighed a miserable sigh. And right when I found out that the feelings I have been having is just the simple emotion of Love. Yes I love Devon......and all of his ways. Weather they be goofy, idiotic, weird or just plain stupid. Fate's Timing is just perfect!
----Devon's POV-----
I can't believe it, I had just gotten the news. Belle was moving.....She was moving! How could she be moving??? She just got here, and got settled. This can't be happening....Everything I love gets taken away from me. Wait, love Belle..? Yeah I guess I do love her.... I can't just let her go! Why did she wait to tell me when she was at the airport? And her plane leaves soon......oh shit. I better grab my keys....
---------------At the airport----------------------
Terminal what.....? I rushed by crowds and crowds of people, pulling huge luggage bags. It took me forever to find her, and I almost thought I wouldn't but I saw her sitting on her luggage with a sad expression on her face. It was agonizing to have to look at how miserable she looked. I wanted her to smile, and I wanted to be the one to make her smile because without that warmth of her smile my life would be cold and meaningless.....woah that was cheesy. Bet no one thought I was capable of such a romantic statement. I laughed at my weirdness, I guess it is true that everyone talks to them self sooner or later. I jogged up to Belle, and watched as her eyes widened.
"What are you doing here!?" she choked in surprise. Was she happy to see me or not? I smiled.
"I didn't get to say goodbye....." I murmured, pulling her into a hug. She froze in shock before rapping her arms around my shoulders and hugging me tight. Being in her soft arms felt so right and peaceful. It was like she was made to fit into my embrace. There I go with the cheesy stuff again.....
She was smiling as she looked into my eyes, "Belle, don't go. I want you to stay here, and be happy. I want you to stay with me.....My aunt is going to stay at my dad's house here in Georgia. But my dad has houses all over...we could finish school and....we could be so happy. you could go to college if you want and we could be together....," I wasn't sure if I was doing this right, as I had never done it before. But, her eyes started to water, so I must be doing something right.
She hugged me and said into my ear "That is the sweetest thing Devon, ah you are making me cry," she laughed, "But I couldn't leave my family. We are moving to New York for my dad's job, and he said it will be the very last time....I'm so sorry Devon..." her voice was breaking from the small sobs coming from her chest. Ah, I didn't want to make her cry.....
The plane announcer said it was time to leave, I clutched onto her hand begging her not to go.....she couldn't go. "I love you Belle," I said, and she started to cry harder.
"I love you to Devon" she grabbed her suitcase handle, she was going to leave and I couldn't stop her! I stepped forward and grabbed her free arm. I pulled her into my arms and kissed her. And everything faded away.......I never knew what authors had meant when they wrote about that, but now I knew.
I closed my eyes, and she kissed my eyelids, and when I opened them, she was halfway to her plane.
-----------A week later----------------
Everything felt so pointless without Belle here. I had to force Gerdie out of the house at least twice already.
"Gerdie look, I am sorry for the way I used you.....but I can't do this anymore.....," I closed my front door on her, hoping that this time she actually got the message. My aunt was watching T.V. in the other room as I flopped onto my bed. Ugh, I missed Belle....very much
BUT that's how life is.i m IN love with her sooo much ...but I guess everything happens for a reason .I'm sure someday faith will bring us together ..and I'll wait for that day. Belle made me a better person. She taught me to respect women I'll always miss her. She'll always hv a special place in my heart. But I know we'll be back together...because faith has to listen to us god has to listen to us....
& I hv a written a song for her here it goes:
I'll Remember You"
It has been so long since we have talked
I hope that things are still the same
Hoping they will never change
Cause what we had can't be replaced
Don't let our memories fade away
Keep me in your heart for always
You made me believe
That I can do almost anything
Stood right by me
Through the tears through everything
I'll remember you,
And baby that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always miss
Never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
No matter what you're goin' through
In my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
I promise you I won't forget the times we shared, the tears we cried
You'll always be the sun in my sky
It may be fate that brings us back to meet again someday
Even though we go separate ways
You made me believe
That I can do almost anything
You stood right by me
Through the tears through everything
I'll remember yooooou,
And baby that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always miss
Never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for yooooou,
No matter what your goin' through
In my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
If the day should come when you need someone
(You know that I'll follow)
I will be there
Don't ever let there
Be a doubt in your mind
'Cause I'll remember you, you
I'll remember you,
And baby that's forever true
You're the one that I'll always miss
Never thought it would feel like this
I'll be there for you,
No matter what your goin' through
In my heart you'll always be, forever baby
I'll remember you
Forever baby, I'll remember you
