Finding Her

Chapter five

It was day three of looking for Millie but I knew I couldn't miss two days of school without a valid excuse. I sluggishly dragged my body to the shower and washed up. After I dried off I stood in my closet looking for an outfit. I settled on a pair of white ripped jeans and a light pink off the shoulder top. I paired it with my pink flats. After my morning routine was done I grabbed my things and headed to pick up Hanna. What I did not expect to see in the early morning was Hanna making out with a guy. Bet your wondering why is that so shocking. Answer: it wouldn't be normally. But no, here was my best friend since we were seven locking lips with Jake.

Surprisingly I wasn't hurt. The feelings I had for Jake hasn't been in my heart for quite sometime now. So no I wasn't hurt, even though we officially broke up yesterday. Sad, no, hurt, not really. Pissed, yes. I was all for people finding their happiness. What I don't understand is why couldn't they tell me to my face. Why did I have to find out this way instead of them telling me? I parked my car and waited to see if they'd take a break from locking lips but sadly they didn't. So I did what any normal teen girl would do. I got looked around my car and spotted a bottle of Gatorade. Ooh they're going to be so mad. I grabbed the bottle and walked over to them. I quietly walked to them and twisted off the cap.

The element of surprise is a thing I love almost as much as I love binge watching spy kids or harry potter, which is a lot. But anyway I poured the cold drink on the two unsuspecting love birds. I almost pissed myself from laughing so hard.

"Mia, oh my god. Why would you do that?" Hanna shrieked in horror. "Ugh look at my clothes, theyre ruined." Well thats two surprises I've been hit with this morning.

"So you dont think you deserved it? After pulling up and seeing the two of you making out after we just broke up not even twelve hours ago. Need I go on." I stood with my hand on my hip looking at the pair with guilty faces.

"Well see.. "I stopped him before he could utter some pathetic excuse of a lie.

"Look Im only pissed because you didn't tell me. Im your best friend and you didn't tell me that you were hooking up with Jake behind my back?"

"It wasn't behind your back I swear. We only starting getting serious after you broke up." I scuffed at her response.

"No it was during because if memory serves me right, I remember seeing a hickey on his neck yesterday. So did that come from you or some other chick? Besides stuff like this don't just happen. But its okay you got him now. But I hope he was forth ten years of friendship because you just lost me. Forever. And before you go saying anything, no I'm not throwing away our friendship because you hooked up with my ex. I'm walking away because you lied to me about it." With that said I turned around and headed back to my car.

I really hope it works out between them. I was about to close my door when I came to a realization. I gotta get those boxes. Damn it. I groaned while getting back out the car. They were still staring at me from when I attempted to leave a few minutes ago which made it more awkward. I stopped right in front of them and attempted to speak when I got cut off.

"So I seen you came crawling back. What, realized that you wont have any friends if you walk away from me?" Hanna smirked at me like she knew that was reason I was back.

"No actually I came back for my boxes. So lets go." I chuckled as her smirk fell.

"Wait what boxes?" Jake asked

"That's none of your concern. Now my boxes or do I have to break in your guest house?" We walked around her house into the backyard to guest house. There was no need for a key since they never locked the door for some reason. It took me a good little minute to move the boxes since I was moving them by myself. Once I had to last box in the box I shot my exs a one last glance and hopped in my car. I was about to be late but oh well. I pulled up into the school parking lot and sat for a minute letting everything sink in. I could hear the bell ringing in the distance. Well I guess I missed first period, again. I grabbed my backpack and headed in the school to the office. I got my pass and headed to English. Yay note the sarcasm. Time seemed to be on fast forward because I was already in sixth period which was math. I also had Hanna and Jake in this class, even though neither was in school today. They were mostly likely hooking up.

I couldn't wait until school ended so I could finally go through these boxes. But now I had to find a new place to do my research. That was my goal today: find a secure place to research. I had a free period as a last class so I headed to my favorite place. The library. I sat there thinking about what I was going to do. I had no help, and no secure place to read. I laid my head on the table I couldn't think here. I grabbed my bag and walked into the office to sign out. I sat in my car and just decided to drive around to clear my head.

I drove passed the old church and still didn't see anywhere that I could stay. I finally parked at the Holt park and Center for the arts. It wasn't like a playground kind of park it was a field with a gazebo. I figured why not. I took a box from the trunk and carried it to the gazebo. Well here goes nothing.
