I Found You, Something Told Me To Stay.
Miles Away From Those I Love.
Ariel’s Point of View:
“So,” Raine spoke, clicking her tongue against the top of her mouth as we all sat down at a table in the rear of the bus, “You like Matty?”
I thought this question over for a second, staring at the light blue colored table before me. I felt all eyes fall on me, the longer I took to answer. Andrea sat to my left, Mary to my right, and Raine right across from me. I couldn’t avoid the question, or Raine might have the other girls jump me. All I know about them is the bits and pieces I can remember from the night before.
I stole a glance at Andrea, who suddenly jumped slightly, her long brown hair flaring out for a second. I shot her a weird look, and she took out her cell phone from her pocket. Apparently, it had vibrated, and it scared her.
“It’s Kris, you guys!” she squealed, happily, “Look at her dress!”
“OH MY GOD!” Raine gushed, rushing over to her, Mary right behind her. They all swarmed over the phone, before Raine ripped the phone right out of Andrea’s hands.
“She looks so beautiful!” Mary cooed, tilting the phone towards her so she could see, “That dress looks great on her!”
“Ariel, wanna see?” Andrea smiled, grabbing the phone back and handing it to me.
I glanced over the picture of an absolutely gorgeous girl. She was the one on Johnny’s arm last night. So that’s why they weren’t here, they were getting her wedding dress this morning. Her white-blonde hair matched her simple white wedding dress, and the blue streaks in her hair matched her eyes. Orange tinted her hair, and she had a beautiful smile. I was honestly jealous. Johnny must’ve taken the picture since she was almost doubled over laughing, holding up the trail to her dress. I wanted to be her; I wanted to have someone who loved me as much as I loved him.
“Ariel, are you okay?” Raine spoke gently, coming over and wrapping her arm around my shoulder, “You seem down,”
“I’m fine. I’m just thinking,” I replied, avoiding everyone’s gaze.
“Ariel,” Mary sighed, taking my hand, and kneeling down in front of me, “Matty really likes you. I haven’t seen him glow since Valary,”
Raine nudged Mary in the side, and rolled her eyes, “Don’t,”
“What?” I asked, my face lighting up with intrigue.
“Shit,” Raine sighed, and sat down in her seat across from me to get comfortable, “You really want to know?”
“Yeah,” I nodded, I wanted to know everything about Matt. I wanted to live up to this Valary girl’s standards. He obviously made her really happy, and I wanted to do that too.
“Get comfortable, girl. It’s a long story,”
Matt’s Point of View:
“Hello?” Zacky said, waving a hand in front of my face. I guess I had zoned out. We were sitting on the couch in the living area, and I had ended up having to listen to Brian and Jimmy bicker over a videogame. I couldn’t stop thinking about Ariel. I know we just met, but I couldn’t help but feel like I needed her.
“What?” I asked, looking up and realizing Brian, Jimmy, and Zacky were staring at me.
“You LOVE her,” Jimmy gaped, slapping Brian’s leg with his hand, trying to make Brian mess up on the game.
“You fuckhead!” Brian growled, immediately pausing the game and attacking Jimmy.
“No seriously, dude,” Zacky said, trying to ignore the ruckus that Brian and Jimmy were making as they rolled around on the ground, “You do love her,”
“I can’t LOVE her,” I replied, mocking Jimmy, “I don’t even KNOW her,”
“It doesn’t matter, man,” Zacky smiled, his snakebites spreading with his lips, “I know you, and I know when you’re in love,”
“You sound like a faggot, Zacky,” Brian choked under all of Jimmy’s weight on his chest.
“Fuck off, Brian! You‘re the faggot!” Zacky shouted, jumping onto Brian helping Jimmy beat him up.
I sat there, watching three full grown men beat each other up, I crossed my arms, sinking into the couch. What if I was in love with her? This can’t end well. I'm in Huntington, my home town, with a girl that isn't Valary. There was no way that she wouldn't find out. Especially since Michelle was coming to visit tomorrow.
“So,” Raine spoke, clicking her tongue against the top of her mouth as we all sat down at a table in the rear of the bus, “You like Matty?”
