Not your average girl

what now

It has been three days since me and dash had our night. He has not reached out to me or responded to my calls or texts. I

am closing up my bag and suitcase in my now to be no longer room . as my aunt jenny comes in , "hey kiddo you ready we are leaving , we have to lock up and get in the cab. " "I am just getting my bags will b right out. " I say as i make my way out and down the stairs. we get in the cab and I take a last look at my home, and hope I will come back one day soon.

I hold on to my phone for dear life hoping that dash will respond or call. "sweetie you ok? you seem distracted. everything will be ok once we get to Los angeles . I promise." she says in a sweet tone. god bless my aunt jenny for being strong for the both of us , for being the one to take me in. I turn to her and tell her how dash and I have not seen each other. that I feel like he is purposely avoiding me and the fact that he did not see me off hurts me. she grabs a hold of my hand and gives it a reassuring squeeze. "he will call sweetie , I know he will." as we drive to the airport my thoughts are brought out by a text alert on my phone, when I open it up I see its from dash and it reads " sweet cheeks I am sorry for not being there the past few days, I know i am a completed jack ass for ghosting on you. but I could not bring myself to see you leave and to say goodbye. I want you to know that our night together means more than you will ever know. but with your moving and me being left behind. I want you to know I will always continue to be your best friend and nothing more. I just need some time to get over this, the what could have been. good bye sweet cheeks."

My tears began to run down my face , "the what could have been ?" was he saying we could have been more ? an us? a couple ? had I not moved,

when we arrived in LA , my uncle carlos had been waiting for us . my aunt jenny's husband , uncle Carlos was different , and if you saw them you would also not think they where an item . he is a hispanic man, 5'8 height , brown eyes, fit with muscular arms, with a full beard and fully tattooed. In better terms he is a old gangster looking type of man. my aunt jenny on the other hand looked like my mother,caucasian with dirty blond hair , 5'3 , hazel eyes and curvy . My aunt and uncle where the definition of opposites attract. my uncle greeted my aunt with a big hug and kiss. when he finally placed her down. he gave me a hug and gave his condolences. once we made it to their house, my aunt jenny showed me my new room and told me to get settled in and that they would order pizza for dinner.

my new room was simple white walls full size bed , with pale pink bedding , a vanity and small dresser. i began to unpack and placed my family picture on my dresser. after I ate and showered i contemplated on the idea of reaching out to dash or not. would he respond? should i wait for him to reach out? it was giving me anxiety. so i decided to send him a text and not focus on the reply. so i started to type away " hey dimples, just wanted to let you know , im in LA safe and sound . I hope you are ok and that we are okay. your friend always. " I kept it simple and sweet , once i sent it i tuned my phone off and went to bed.

Dash POV

I was trying my best to get to the airport before her flight takes off . once i reached the airport i made my way to her. i was sunning past people to get in time to see her off. once I got near I spotted her. she was wearing denim short, black converse and a black t-shirt . i stopped in my tracks, i was unable to move. my thoughts automatically went to our night together , and to the days after of me ghosting her, trying to avoid her at all cost . I was a coward to do that to her, it is our senior year and she is leaving . she was my best friend and i could not be honest with her, as i hid behind a pillar , i watched her , she was anxious and nervous. she was looking around , she was looking for me. i stayed there watching her admiring her courage her beauty and my heart ached. these feelings of friendship could not be more than that. not because i didn't feel anything for her. I do. its just that we would be far apart and I did not know if she even felt the same. I made my way back to the car and decided to send he a text, " sweet cheeks I am sorry for not being there the past few days, I know i am a completed jack ass for ghosting on you. but I could not bring myself to see you leave and to say goodbye. I want you to know that our night together means more than you will ever know. but with your moving and me being left behind. I want you to know I will always continue to be your best friend and nothing more. I just need some time to get over this, the what could have been. good bye sweet cheeks." once i hit send my chest began to ached. once i got to my home i made my way to my bedroom and decided to take a nap. little did i know my nap would be more than a few hours. I was woken up by a alert on my phone, it was a message from Ren. my heart skipped a beat at just looking at her name in my alerts. when i read the messaged It felt like my decision was for the best. the only thing is what do we do now , what now ?
