FIFTEEN

Months passed since then and a sudden news whacked me.

"The Clarks are moving you say?" mum said.

"Yes. Evan told me he have to move for work" dad responsed.

"Oh. Is that so? I hope our little angel wouldn't be so sad about it. After all, Gale is her closest friend of all" she gloomily said.

"I also wished for them to stay. I even talked with Evan about it, but it can't be helped. Let's just hope for the best, honey" dad forced a smile.

Oh. So the Clarks are leaving and here I am still avoiding that bastard Gale. Well. As what dad said, it really can't be helped if they are moving. Maybe I should make up with Gale too before they leave, for me to have a good memory with that stupid brat until the last day they are here.

Right. It's my fault in avoiding him anyways and even I can't understand why did I acted so childish. Gosh. Hahaha!

I'll talk with him tomorrow. Yea. Tomorrow.

I locked myself in my room and sketched and sketched. Decided to stop doing it by 4 pm when I saw my guitar being so dusty and one of the strings tore.

I opened the window - the one facing the Clarks, fronting Gale's room.

I did not mind what the Clarks are busy for nor did I look up and asked.

I grabbed my guitar and wiped it clean.

I also changed the strings with the spares I keep.

After tuning it, I strummed the guitar and decided to sing a song.

Been months since I last touched my sketch pad and my instruments all thanks to my ex.

I stopped playing as a knock on the door was heard.

"Yea? What is it?" I asked.

"Sweetie, dinner's ready. Your dad's waiting down stairs" she said sweetly, as I responded

"Okay mum. Coming"

Wow. There's salad and mashed potato for side dishes, I'm very happy!

Eating our dinner quietly than usual. I observed my parents and they are staring at each other after taking glances at me. Curiousity stirred me up so I asked,

"What's the matter? Is something going on?"

"..." they both looked at me surprised, then smiled. Mum spoke which made me stop eating half-way.

"Actually, the Clarks are leaving sweety."

Dad looks a bit worried as he stare at me, in response I gave them a smile before talking

"I know mum. I over heard you and dad talking earlier today in the living room. It's fine besides we can always keep in touch with them right?"

They took a deep breath and sighed. The sigh of relief and then gave me a smile.

We finished eating and I helped mum clean the table and I then did the dishes.

I am humming the song Crazier by Taylor Swift and mum giggled.

"Sweety, you really love to hum a lot don't you think so?"

"Uh. Oh. I think so?"

She giggled again before talking to me again.

"By any chance, do you like Gale?"

I coughed upon hearing her asking me that question. Seriously it sounded so weird.

"But of course not! Ew!" I responsed as mum laughed this time, noisily.

"Anyways sweety they're leaving tomorrow afternoon. I forgot to mention this during dinner"

When I heard her say those words I don't know, my heart felt like it sunk deep down the ocean and it is very much heavy to be able to reach the shore.

"Is that so? I see" I replied trying to avoid making her notice the cracking on my voice.

"Bring them pie tomorrow and berries as well okay? I'll bake some for us as well. I know you love pie"

"Thanks mum. I'm heading to my room now"

"Have a good night sweet heart"

I nodded and said "Good night mum."

Wow. What a shock.

I thought I could catch up with the months I avoided that guy yet they'll be leaving tomorrow. How unlucky and I'm overly sad.

I can still spend some time with him tomorrow before they leave so I hope I can face him already and wouldn't feel embarrassed nor annoyed.

"What a day"
