Two-sided Heart Ch. 2

"I want ice cream." Ian shouted as we pulled out of the parking lot of the cemetery.

"You would" I said with a little giggle we drove to Baskin Robbins Ian and Tamera yelled at each other the whole way debating over how many flavors of ice cream they had. I laughed I couldn't ask for better best friends as we walked in sitting in the corner of the store was the man of every Capeside high girl's dream Dylan Eastman he was a tan muscular piece of heaven he was 6'3 extremely muscular and was the Running Back on the football team and my secret crush since I was 13. His hair was short kept neatly out his face which just accentuated his already glorious face. Across from him was the devil's advocate Emily the one who stole my doll those many years ago. Her long red hair was pulled back in a perfectly neat ponytail she had on a plaid pink and white sweater and a white mini skirt with bedazzled flip flops.

She ran here hand through Dylan's hair and gave him a kiss as she noticed me staring at him. He gave her a funny look and stood up and waved Ian over damn football players I would like to know what happens in that locker room that made them so close. Ian walked over to Dylan and gave him one of those lame manly pats on the back. Emily smiled and waved at Ian but as the good best friend he was he ignored her. Dylan seemed to be oblivious to Ian ignoring his girlfriend and her being pissed about it because he just continued his conversation.

"Ian are you going to get something because we got to get back and see grams" I said he said bye to Dylan, ordered his ice cream and we left.

I turned to look at Dylan one more time and notice Emily yelling at him clearly confused he walked away and she followed behind. When we got back to the house Ian, Tamera and I stampeded in the house our voices projected in the large green house.

"Mom were home" I said before noticing her and grams sitting on the couch.
"Oh hey mom hey grams" Ian and Tamera flopped on the couch across from mom and grams and I sat on the floor.

"Sweetie your mother and I would like to talk to you about something," my grandma said in a tone that slightly scared me.

"Yes" I asked concerned.

"We'd really like to talk to you alone," she continued.

"Anything you have to say to me Ian and Tamera will find out later anyway so lets save me some time and let them stay" my mom snickered and my grandma gave her a dirty look.

"Mom this involves them too so I believe they should stay as well" this clearly got Ian and Tamera's attention because they both sat up straight.

"I have decided to go to Paris for a few months," my mom said.
"Mom I can't go to Paris this is very irresponsible I'm in the middle of my school year winter break is in a week mom" I screamed.
"Sweetie I said I'm going to Paris for a few months you're going to stay here" she said searching my face for disapproval which I so desperately wanted to do but she deserves a vacation.
"Oh ok cool so who am I staying with Ian or Tamera" as my grandma cleared her throat my hear dropped I would literally die if I had to stay with my grams.
"Your grandma thinks you should go stay with her were as I believe your old enough to stay home alone" I heard Ian and Tamera give each other approving high fives about the second option. My grandma gave them that evil look and they went back to eating their ice cream.
"I defiantly believe I am mature enough to stay home alone besides it would be great practice for college" my grandma looked upset that I didn't want to stay with her but can she really blame me she's to uptight.

"Excellent well Tamera's Dad and Ian's mother both agreed to keep an eye on you while I'm away and your grandma will drop in once in a while" my grams gave a nod and crossed her arms trying to intimidate me like I was going to run amuck or something.

"When are you leaving," I asked.
"At the beginning of winter break and I'll be gone 2 or 3 months just until I finish this book" she tapped her laptop and grandma gave my mom a light squeeze on the shoulder. There was something they were keeping from me but I knew they'd tell me when they were ready.

"So meeting adjourned then" I said standing up.
"Yup thanks for being so understanding" my mom said.
"Understanding your basically giving me a free pass to party and fornicate."
"Anna" my grandma scowled my mom laughed and my grandma gave us both the evil eye. Tamera and Ian followed me up to my room as I walked away I heard my grandma and mom talking.
"Fornicate Lynn where'd she even learn that language you think she was serious oh god let her stay with me" my mom let out a snicker.
"She's 17 mom not 10 sex is everywhere and she was joking... I think" my mom let out another laugh as my grandma went into a frenzy I laughed and rolled my eyes. When we got in my room me and Tamera plopped down on my bed while Ian hopped on my computer. As we sat in silence I walked over to my window and noticed Dylan bringing Emily home. Best part about having your arch nemesis live across the street you don't have far to travel to egg her house on Halloween.

"What does he see in her she's so self-centered and shallow" I said disgusted as they kissed on her front step.
"Her low IQ she's not smart enough to know he's just using her" Tamera replied
"Who are we talking about" asked Ian as he made his way to look out the window. "oh god don't tell me you're in love with Dylan too"
"Not in love just infatuated" I said letting out a sigh as Dylan pushed some of Emily's long brown hair out her face.
Emily was a cheerleader with a perfect figure and blue green eyes long flowing hair I hated her.
Me on the other hand I dare to be different my hair is long with pink streaks I'm kind of pale which makes no sense to me because I run every morning on the beach. I love the beach but my skin is afraid of pigment I guess which sucks when your blushing because you turn extremely pink.
"Whatever he's not that great he's not what everybody thinks he is" Ian said.
"You're just saying that because you're a guy" I went back to my bed and plopped down.

"So what is our first official thing we're going to do once your mom is gone throw a party, trash the house."
"I think we should have a movie night stay up all night and watch a ton of movies" I said.
"Sounds like fun" Tamera said.
"Yeah sounds like a plan" Ian added once it got late Ian and Tamera went home. I put on my pajamas slid in bed and whispered a goodnight to my dad. The next morning I woke up put on my running clothes pulled my hair back in a ponytail and headed out to the beach. I was lucky because we lived on a block across from the beach Miami is the best place in the world to live. When I got to the beach a stretched put my headphones on and ran I ran as fast as I could. I felt the sand crunch under my feet my heartbeat as fast as the drums in my song. I began to feel dizzy but I still ran the sun beat down on my head everything began to look fuzzy. I fell to the ground gasping for air everything still fuzzy when I heard a voice but I couldn't understand them. As my heart started to slow I notice a fuzzy figure standing over me asking if I were okay.

"I'm fine" I said.
"You sure let me help you up" they said I reached for their hand that I could barely see.
"Yeah I just went a little to hard" I said as I stumbled they wrapped their arms around me to catch me I could tell it was defiantly a guy. As I began to regain my balance and things stopped spinning I looked at who was holding me and I went limp and he pulled me tighter.
"I thought you said you were alright" Dylan gave a coy smile.
