THIRTY-ONE: GOODBYES.

BRITNEY ASTON “Honey, are you sure about this?” I nodded, watching my mum shift gazes between me and the pamphlet in her hand, disbelief written all over her face. She had to believe it whether she wanted to or not though. As I was ready to go on the four day volunteering trip, my already packed bags serving as more than enough proof. “Okay I get it,” she continued, giving the pamphlet another glance. “If you were in high school, I’d understand you doing things like this for extra credit point but college? Honey, you’re new here too. Or oh, are you doing this to explore? Know more about the city.” “Uh, you can say that,” I nodded, knowing very well I didn’t have an explanation for her regarding why I was actually going. “Yeah, something like that. Besides, it’s an NGO. We’ll be um, helping the helpless people who um- need our help.” “Okay, I get that part,” she nodded slowly. “Okay okay fine I’ll allow you go. But do you have to leave immediately? And are you going alone?” “Ye

THIRTY-TWO: VOLUNTARY EMOTIONS.

BRITNEY ASTON Elle and I got to the pick up station in less than thirty minutes of driving from my place. We got our registrations confirmed, got our tickets numbers, our name tags and in after a busy shuffle of all the volunteers, we were all ushered into the bus, the ride beginning immediately. The drive to Hampshire took about 2 hours and every minute was spent with Elle and I talking about the most random things. Judging from how I left the house, I expected myself to be in a terrible mood through the ride but it turned out to be the complete opposite, Elle magically having the perfect words everytime she opened her mouth. We didn’t run out of words to say and at the same time, didn’t run out of snacks to munch on. Courtesy of the fridge at home, I had endless junk in my bag- definitely more than enough for a four day trip. By the time we got to the camp site, we got down from the bus, every single person onboard tired. It was in a good way though, the buzzing excitement

THIRTY-THREE: TEMPTING DISTRACTIONS.

BRITNEY ASTON Lucas: You up? Britney: Hi Britney: Yes, I am. Lucas: How are you? Lucas: Didn’t see you at school today so i was a bit worried. Lucas: Especially cause I haven’t seen you after the party… Lucas: Are you okay? Britney: Oh, yes I am. Britney: I’m fine. I went on this volunteering camp so you won’t be seeing me at school until next week. Lucas: Volunteering camp? The one at Hampshire? Britney: Yeah… Britney: You know about it? Lucas: Yup. A couple of friends talked about going. I was contemplating on going myself but eventually changed my mind. Lucas: If I knew you were going, I wouldn’t have changed my mind. Lucas: Sorry, did I make things weird? I just meant, i felt it would have been more fun with you around. Britney: Nah, you didn’t make things weird. Britney: I understand you. Me going was pretty much a last minute decision. I only told my mum the morning before I left. Lucas: LOL Lucas: How’s it going then? Fun? Fine? Just alrig

THIRTY-FOUR: RAINSTORMS.

BRITNEY ASTON It took a whole lot for my phone not to slip out of my hand, color immediately draining from my face as I read Travis’ message.I didn’t need to look at myself in the mirror to know I’d suddenly become pale. I felt pale, my hands were almost shaking and I felt like I was suddenly punched in the gut. Hard. My mum? In the hospital? For the nineteen years I’ve known my mum, she had almost never fallen so sick she had to be taken to the hospital. Even before she began traveling, the most serious illness I’d seen her down with was cold and it barely lasted as she was too much of an active person to allow any illness weigh her down. Quickly fumbling with my phone, I unlocked it and replied Travis, deleting my message all over again due to the amount of typos I made. Britney: What happened to her?? Britney: Is she okay??? Britney: Since when?? “Hey, Britney, are you okay?” I felt Elle’s arm around my shoulder, having me realize I was almost shaking. “What happened? Who

THIRTY-FIVE: BRIDGING DISTANCES

BRITNEY ASTON There was silence between Travis and I as we sat in his car, the two of us clearly having different things on our minds. I looked out of the window, my eyes following the rain as it trickled down the glass. It wasn’t as heavy as I thought but it was enough to get anyone uncomfortably wet from just staying in it for a couple of minutes. With a sigh, I wondered what was going on with the rest of the people at the camp. Luckily, our tents were thick so I doubted the rain having any effect on them and since it wasn’t really a heavy one, i presumed it was going to be over in no time. In that case, did that mean Travis and I would begin our ride to the hospital the second the rain subsided? Or was he really going to spend the night here? I doubted there being any spare tents meaning he was going to have to sleep in his car. The mere thought made me uncomfortable though, considering the fact that I was the reason he came here. And now, the reason he was most likely go

THIRTY-SIX: THE WEIGHT OF EMOTIONS.

BRITNEY ASTON I should have been getting used to silent awkward drives with Travis but for some reason, they still made uncomfortable. Our ride from the hospital back home was another silent one, the two of us still refusing to utter a single word to each other. It was a bit different this time though as I was confident our thoughts heavily contradicted each other’s. Repeating history, Travis only spoke up the moment he pulled over in front of the house. Without needing a single word, I reached for the door and stepped out, my steps quick as I walked towards the door. He was faster than me though, taking out the house keys from his pocket to open the door. With muttered thanks, I hung my head low and resumed walking, not stopping this time until I was in my room. A groan escaped my lips as I fell onto my bed, feeling exhaustion overwhelm me. Glancing at the wall clock, I noticed it was past 9 already, another groan immediately escaping my lips. This wasn’t how I planned my

THIRTY-SEVEN: THE EDGE OF CONTROL.

TRAVIS LEWIS “Britney wait- Fuck!” It happened in an instant, my fist immediately meeting the kitchen wall in an attempt to divert my sudden anger and frustration. But it was of no use, my anger intensifying the moment I realized I was number to whatever scale of pain my fist against the wall had to offer. I watched her leave the room and then heard her slam the door as he left the house in general, helplessness immediately gripping me. All of a sudden I felt lost, confused and more than anything, angry at myself. Just what did I do to myself again? Cursing under my breath, I walked into the kitchen and lifted the pan of pasta away from the stove, immediately tossing it into the sink. I wasn’t hungry at all and the only reason I was willing to actually eat had left the house, taking my appetite with her. Trying to figure out where it all went wrong, I slipped into the chair and ran my hands through my hair. I spent the past two days in nothing but torture, wondering just what

THIRTY-EIGHT: DRUNKEN MISTAKES

BRITNEY ASTON I ran faster than my legs could carry me, having no particular destination in mind. I just wanted to be away from home. Away from Travis. Away from my feelings for him. “No, no, no,” I shook my head as I ran, feeling tears well up my eyes. “I can’t like him. I shouldn’t like him. I just can’t.”I could come up with a million reasons Travis and I were an impossible pair. But at the same, my heart had clearly refused to acknowledge all those facts and reasons, simply acting the way it pleased. After running for so long, my knees felt weak and my legs began to ache, living me with no choice but to stop running. I looked back, realizing I’d gone so far from home I had no idea where I actually was. With a sigh, I raised my head, immediately realizing I was in front of a bar. Laughing at the wicked coincidence , I didn’t hesitate for even a second, immediately walking straight into the bar. Luckily for me, I had a bit of cash with me. It wasn’t much but enough for me t

THIRTY-NINE: A KISS? A DREAM?

TRAVIS LEWIS My heart was pounding in my chest as I drove, my eyes focused on the window more than anything. I kept on peeking and looking around me in hopes of spotting Britney anywhere around. But it was harder than I thought as she was just nowhere to be found. At least, on the streets. From Lucas’ call, I could tell she was in an enclosed space. Giving Lucas the tiniest benefit of doubt, I refused to believe he could have taken her home with him. She probably went somewhere- anywhere to be alone and he most likely joined her there. “Right,” I bit my lip, trying to add things together. She couldn’t have gone far on her feet and If she truly went to somewhere she could be alone and distracted then my best bet was, “the fucking bar downtown.” Immediately grabbing my gear, I reversed and began my ride back to the bar. It wasn’t really far from where I was but that didn’t bring any comfort to me, especially since I knew the type of people that went to that bar. She must have jus

FOURTY: ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY STEPBROTHER

BRITNEY ASTON Ever since Lucas suddenly showed up at the club, woke me up from my sudden passing out and watched me pass out all over again, I knew I was drunk. I wasn’t asleep but I was in something that felt similar. I was unconscious yet conscious. But at the same time, I wasn’t in the right state of mind so everything around me just felt surreal and foggy. Then I passed out again. And woke up suddenly in my bed with Travis next to me. Then I felt drunk all over again. But the moment Travis kissed me, I felt every last effect the alcohol could have on me vanish into thin air, my present reality hitting me, hard. Travis was kissing me. Travis had his lips pressed against mine. For the first few seconds, I was frozen, not even an inch of my body able to move. I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t think, I couldn’t act. I was just there, trying and failing to process the emotions that suddenly flooded my body. Travis was kissing me. Even if I wanted to deny it, my body was going t
