Living in denial

Chapter 3

 

"This is the last boarding call for flight 34 to Lakewood, Denver."
We made our way down the long tubular corridor that led us to the airplane. I chose the seat beside the window. When we were settled after the excitement of the plane taking off, Kayla and I started to talk about when we would do when we arrived ect. and how we couldn't wait to get settled in and see our new home. "There's meant to be a beautiful wood a few minutes away from the house. And the village is just a 5 minute walk away. I love how it's so secluded and peaceful up there." Kayla said.
"Yeah," I agreed smiling. "It's going to be a good thing for us, getting away from everything and clearing my head. Getting our lives on the road, you know what I mean?"
"Yep." Kayla smiled.
"Well, I didn't get a wink of sleep last night so i'm gonna take a sleeping pill and i'll see you in a few hours." I put in my ear phones and put my favourite playlist on shuffle. I closed my eyes and could slowely feel myself falling into a deep sleep.

I woke up 2 hours later when the flight attendants were going from row to row taking peoples food orders. "What are you getting?" Kayla asked.
"Nothing on the airplane anyway, the food is EW."
Kayla laughed. "I completely agree. The last time I ordered chicken nuggets they were so soft and soggy I could mash them with the fork."
"Ew, that is so gross." We both agreed to get something when we arrived in Lakewood.
"So... You planning on getting with any boys in Denver?" I asked.
"I'm not sure, we'll see what happens." She smiled. "What about you?"
"Nope. No way. Definitely not." I looked down at my knees.
Kayla giggled. "I guess time will tell."

Living in denial

Chapter 2

 

Three years had passed since the accident. I was on my final year of school and couldn't wait to graduate and get out of this town. I was going to leave and go far, far away from here. Away from all the tainted memories. I wanted to make some attempt of moving on with my life, and moving away was the easiest solution to my problems. In a matter of a few weeks, i'd be gone.
Not a single day went by when I didn't think about him; Not a single night when I didn't replay the accident over and over again in my head. I just missed him so much, and I wasn't ready to stop hurting yet. I wasn't ready for closure.

My close friend Kayla was moving with me to a small, quiet town in Denver, Colorado. We were going to be living in a village, in Kayla's grandma's old cottage. I could hardly wait. The cottage looked amazing. Like something out of a movie. It was secluded and was surrounded by beautiful flowers and a soft flowing stream that ran in the back garden.

The doorbell rang. "Savannah," My Mom called. "Theres somebody at the door."
"Yeah Mom, It's just Kayla, she's coming over to help me pack."
I opened the door and Kayla was there grinning. "Hey Kayls." I smiled. She walked past and into the kitchen. "Wow Miss Montgomery, What's cooking? It smells amazing." She smiled.
My Mom looked up and smiled. "Hey Kayla. I'm making dinner, you can stay and eat with us if you want."
I laughed. My Mom loved Kayla. "You two can talk later, lets go pack." I grabbed Kayla and went up to my bedroom where all my clothes were laying out on my bed. "Okay I have no idea what to bring, you need to help me." I looked at Kayla who was sitting on my bed looking sad. "Kayls? What's wrong?" I asked. "I was just thinking about... Keith. I know that it's a touchy subject for you and all, but are you going to ehm... visit his grave before you leave? If you want me to go with you i'd be happy to go with you." I hadn't really thought about it, but I didn't like going to his grave it made me sad. "I think you'll regret it if you don't." She said. I looked at her. "You're right. I''ll go before we leave. Thanks."
She smiled. "Lets pack."




Sorry if this chapter was kinda boring, the next chapter will get more interesting. :)

Living in denial

Chapter 1

 

I was 15 when I first fell in love. And I mean really in love. It felt like he was my Noah and I was his Allie. I loved him and he loved me too. Everything seemed so perfect. He treated me like a princess. When I was with him the rest of the world seemed to fade away. It was just me and him. He was one of the very few people who could make me happy.

It was our 6 month anniversary. He arrived at my doorstep at exactly 7:02 and lightly pressed his lips against mine. "You look beautiful." He said. I smiled. We walked hand in hand to a restaurant just down the street. That was when my life completely changed forever. If the tragic accident had have happened a few seconds later, maybe he would have survived. But he didn't survive. The car skidded. It knocked him straight to the ground. I cannot possibly put into words the pain that shot through my body. The stab of coldness that went through my heart. Nobody will ever know how I felt. For a moment all I could do was stand there in shock, then people came over to help and called 911. Then I ended up on the ground beside him. That's when my tears started to fall, when reality finally hit.


That day I didn't just loose the person I loved, I lost my bestfriend too.




The next chapter will be longer I promise(:

The Witty Summer Academy

Chapter 1

Charlottes P.O.V: (Point of view)

It was early April when the letter came about the witty summer academy. I had been dying for it to arrive for weeks. I couldn’t wait to go and my Mom said she would be glad to get rid of me for a while. I ripped open the envelope and read the letter. I skipped the boring parts and stopped when it said “Don’t forget a sleeping bag!” What? A sleeping bag? We were sleeping outside? Nobody knew where we were staying. Steve said in the letter that it was a “Secret destination.” And we would have to wait and see. How interesting. At the end of the letter was an adorable picture of a cat. I laughed. “Oh, Steve…”  The camp started in two and a half weeks. I could barely wait.

A week passed by and I was starting to get kinda nervous about it. I didn’t really think about it before but I realised that I was going to be with nobody I knew, except for a few people I talked to on Witty before. Sometimes I wished my friends were on witty too. But no, they're too 'cool' for that.


Posting more soon:)

Chapter 7

Carlys POV:

My alarm went off at 6.30am. My suitcase was packed and ready by my door. All I had to do was get dressed and do my hair and makeup and I was out of this house for 2 months. I couldn't wait. After an hour I woke my Mom to drop me to where the witty bus was picking the girls in my area up. My Dad hadn't got the chance to say goodbye because he left for work at 5.00am. Boo hoo somebody get me a tissue. I rolled my eyes. I was glad to get away from him.
We arrived at the destination that was written on my letter. "Carly, don't forget what we talked about. We want to see an improvement on your attitude by the time you come back. Bye have a good time. I love you Carly."
"Bye, Mom."


*Sorry for the short chapter, I promise i'll post 2 chapters tomorrow.*

The Witty Summer Academy

Chapter 6

Carlys POV:

I woke up the next morning and the shopping bags from yesterday weren't in my room anymore. Were they serious? I scowled and went downstairs. My dad was in the kitchen making breakfast. "Dad WHAT did you do with my shopping bags? And where's Mom?"
"Mom's returning them right now. We told you last night you don't deserve it. You're lucky were even letting you go to the Witty Academy. Now go and pack your suitcase. The witty academy bus leaves 8 am sharp Friday morning. Don't leave the packing till last thing; you're better off getting it done today." He said.
 "Don't tell me what to do." I frowned.
He turned around and struck me hard across the face with the palm of his hand. I stumbled backwards and caught the edge of the counter, saving myself from falling. My hand went straight up to my face. Tears started falling down my face so my vision of him got blurred.
"I'm sorry Carly. You know I didn't mean it. You know if your mom finds out she'll be taken away from you, so you better make sure she doesn't find out. Or else."
I ran up the stairs and locked the bathroom door. I looked at my face in the mirror. My nose was lightly bleeding. I took a tissue and cleaned up my face as best as I could. I closed the toilet seat and sat there crying for about 10 minutes. I wiped my face and looked in the mirror. There was a red hand print that stretched across my right cheek.
I opened the door. He was standing right outside it, waiting for me. "Carly. Hunny i'm sorry. Mom is on her way home. Now be a good little girl and go clean up your face before she comes home." He raised an eyebrow.
I sidestepped him and walking into my room and shut my room. I opened my makeup bag and covered my face with foundation, covering up all evidence. I felt like crying forever. I couldn't wait to get away and go to the WSA. I have never told anybody about this before. Why? Well, because i'm Carly. I'm perfect. I'm gorgeous and I can get any guy I want. Perfect right? No way. You have no idea. People think my life is like a fairytale but its not. Thats why I have never told anybody. And it terrifies me. My dad is a monster. But hey, it doesn't matter what I think; because i'm Carly. I'm so perfect and popular yet so alone and invisble.

I got goosebumps writing this. I wasn't actually planning on writing anything like this, but I thought I'd give it a little twist:)

Chapter 5

Carlys P.O.V: (Point of view)

I arrived home at 11 o clock that night. I hoped that my Mom and Dad would be asleep so I could avoid the many questions that were oh so familiar to me.
"Where were you?"
"Why are you back so late?"
"Who were you with?"
"What were you doing?"
They should just mind their own freakin' business. I opened the front door with my key and listened for a minute. There were no lights on but I could hear my Mom and Dad in deep conversation in the sitting room. Thank god the door was shut. It sounded like they were arguing. Over what? I really don't care. I tried to sneak upstairs as quietly and quickly as possible. Suddenly, everything went quiet. They both stopped talking. I froze and held my breath.
"Carly. Come in here for a minute please." My Mom said quietly.
I scowled. "No. I'm tired and i'm going to bed, I don't want to listen to this crap right now, okay?" I started walking quickly upstairs.
"Carly, you get down here RIGHT now and do what you're told for once in your life!" My dad shouted angrily.
I stomped down the stairs and slammed the door wide open.
"WHAT do you want?!" I screamed.
My Mom had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy and there was black mascara tear lines dried into her face.
"Carly sit down." My Mom said.
I stood there for about a minute staring them both in the eye, not moving an inch. "Carly sit down like your mother told you to." My dad said sternly and grabbed my hand.
"Don't touch me!" I glared, but he had already dragged me onto the seat next to him.
"Your mother told me about the incident earlier on. We are so sick of your attitude, young lady, and the way that you speak to us. We are your parents and you need to learn how to show respect for the things that we do for you. You are so disrespectful towards both of us and it ends right here. You are a spoilt brat and you show no appreciation for everything that we give you and we are sick of it Carly. You think you can get anything that you want but you can't. Not anymore. As a punishment you're grounded and we are every single thing that you bought today is going back to the shop first thing tomorrow morning." My Dad said. "Now Carly, you're going to go up to your room and think about all of this, because you have two choices you can pick. You can take everything on board and start changing your attitude or you can ignore every single thing I just said. It's entirely up to you. But Carly, by the time you come back from the WSA we want to see a SERIOUS improvement. And if not, trust me; you will regret it and you will be punished big time. Lets not let that happen. Okay?"
Alright, was this seriously happening? Who does he think he's talking to? I stood up and gave them both my filthiest look.
"Let me tell you both one thing. I will not change myself for ANYBODY. Not Mom. Not Dad. Not ANYBODY. And if you don't get that, you're both in for a hell of a ride."
I slammed the door as hard as I could and stomped up to room and locked the door. They wouldn't control me. They will NEVER control me.

Chapter 4

Beckys P.O.V: (Point of view)

A million different thoughts were going through my head. Was my Mom right? Should I go? But what would it be like? Would I enjoy myself while I was there? Would I get home-sick? I sighed. This was overwhelming. I felt really nervous and when I thought about going I got butterflies. This whole thing just wasn't me. I'm meant to be invisible. I liked it that way. Although I do agree with my Mom when she said maybe a change would be good for me. And anyway, Allison would be there with me too.

I logged onto Witty and clicked on Allisons comments. "Hey Allie, girl:) So, i've been thinking about going to the WSA. I'm not sure yet though, i'd be really nervous and self-conscious; though it would be really great to meet you in person. You're one of the small amount of people that actually understand me. I'll decide by the end of the day." I clicked the 'send' button.

I heard the front door open. It was Mom, arriving back from her weekly food shopping. "Becky? Could you give me a hand with the shopping bags please?" She called up from the bottom of the stairs.
"Yeah Mom, I'm coming."
I was outside bringing in the bags when I laid my eyes on a pink and white spotty suitcase that was just lying there in the boot.
"Mom." I called out. "What's this?"
She grinned. "Oh it's just something I picked up, just in case you decide to go to that summer academy. If you decide not to go I can bring it back. Do you like it?"
I smiled. I did like it. I traced one of the white spots.
"Yeah Mom I love it. Thanks." I smiled at her.

As the day went on the idea of the WSA became more and more appealing. I loved my new suitcase, it was really cool. And when I sat down at dinner time, Mom said she would bring me shopping to buy some new clothes for the summer camp. She said I could bring a friend too. So, I decided I was going to go to the academy. And the first thing I was going to do? Go tell my best friend Allison.

The Witty Summer Academy

Chapter 3

Beckys P.O.V: (Point of view)

There was no way I would ever go to the WSA. It was really starting to annoy me, it's all anybody can talk about on witty. I wasn't going because where ever I go, I get bullied. I typed in my witty username and password. I had a notification. It was from one of my friends on witty, Allison. (Pandabear33)
"Hey Becky. Are you going to the WSA? I was thinking about maybe going if you went too? Think about it and let me know."
It was when I finished reading her comment that I realised my Mom was standing over my shoulder looking at what I was doing. I quickly changed to a different tab.
"Mom! What are you doing?! I told you I hate it when you look over my shoulder at what i'm doing when i'm on witty!"
It was as if I said nothing, she just ignored me.
"What's the WSA?" She asked.
"Nothing, Mom! Just go, please."
"Becky, whats the WSA?" She asked again.
I sighed. There was no point in lying. She would find out some other way if I lied. "It's an Academy. A witty academy. Where girls from witty profiles are going for the Summer." I said, trying to keep it as simple as possible.
"Well why don't you go? Make new friends." She smiled encouragingly. "That girl who sent you a comment. Is she your friend? She wanted you to go. I think it's a good opportunity for you to take Becky. Go and make friends. It will be good for you and it will take your mind off things." She was starting to convience me but I sensed pity in her voice and that made me mad. 
"MOM. Okay fine. It's bad enough that i'm fat and ugly and I have no friends and I get bullied everyday at school, so I DON'T need you pitying me okay? Please just leave me alone for a while. I'll think about it, okay? You happy?" I put my head down and bit my lip hard, trying not to cry. "Don't cry." I said repeatidly in my head.
"Becky." My Mom said in a soothing tone, putting her hand on my shoulder. "It's okay. I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you angry. I just... want you to be happy. I hate seeing you like this, it breaks my heart. You don't always have to be so strong. If I could make things better, you know I would. That's why I think you should maybe consider going. It's up to you hun. And you are not fat or ugly. You're beautiful and you'll always be my baby girl." She pulled me up and wrapped her arms tightly around me. I hadn't felt this safe in a long time. Tears started to well up in my eyes. She let go of me and smiled.
"I'll think about it." I said and wiped my tears with my hoodie sleeve.


Note to readers: Sorry if kinda annoying doing it in different P.O.V's. I wont be doing it in all the characters point of views, i'll just stick to doing 4-5 main characters and then the odd time i'll do a different character too. (:
