So Close, Yet So Far
Away
Chapter Six
I walked up to Angela's house as the winds
of October nearly blew me away. I climbed the two steps which
were in front of the door and rang the door bell. Her seven year
old brother answered.
"Hey Jake. Is your sister home?" I asked the
youngster.
"Yeah. I'll go get her." He said as he ran off to
get Angela.
"Hey Mel!" Angela said as she signaled to let me
in.
"Hey. Let's party." I said as I danced
foolishly.
Angela looked at me and began to laugh.
"I've taught you so well!" She said as she
pretended to wipe her tears of joy away.
"Now, come on. Let's go to my room." Angela said as
she sprinted off.
Just as we were about to sit down, the door bell rang.
"Strange. I wasn't expecting anyone else." Angela
said as she went to go check.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" Angela welcomed the
person at the door.
"Just decided to chill out here. I'm so bored at
home." A deep, manly voice spoke back.
"Who could that be?" I whisphered to myself.
I heard footsteps and quickly tried to look presentable by fixing
my long, dark chocolate brown hair and adjusting my
sweater.

"Just go sit next to Melissa. I'll
be there in a second." Angela said to the unexpected
visitor.
"Melissa!"
It was Johnathan.
"Hey Johnathan." I said as I began to slightly
blush.
"I didn't know you were here." Johnathan told me as
if he were really excited to see me.
"How long are you staying?" He kindly asked.
"I don't know. I got here and I usually stay for hours,
but it feels like a minute to Angela and I." I answered with
a smile on my face.
Right when Johnathan was about to open his mouth to say something
else, his phone rang. I didn't mean to look, but I saw a
picture of some blonde and came to conclusion that it was Stacy,
his girlfriend, calling.
"Hey baby." Johnathan softly said while on the phone
with Stacy.
I looked down and almost felt the nerve to cry. How could I
possibly be heart broken about Johnathan being with someone else
if he was never mine to begin with? If he never even gave me a
sign that he might actually be into me? If he probably never even
saw me as more than just a friend?
"I'll just be outside." Johnathan whisphered to
me.
I nodded.
"I'm back." Angela said. "Where's
Johnathan?" She asked.
I pointed to where he was standing.
"He talking with his slutty girlfriend." I angerly said
while laying on Angela's comfortable, purple bed.
Angela looked at me sorrowfully.
"Well..." Angela stopped herself from speaking because
Johnathan had walked back in the room.
"Never mind." She said.
"Sorry. I had to take it." Johnathan said.
There was an awkward silence between the three of us for a couple
of minutes.
"Hey!" Angela shouted to get our attention.
"Let's go watch a movie. A horror or something" She
suggested.
"What about your brother?" Johnathan asked.
"He went to bed." Angela answered.
"What a nerd. Who sleeps at 5pm?" I jokingly said.
"I know.What a child!" Angela
chuckled.
