Chapter 11 – The Storm

            Have you ever felt like your entire life until this point was rising action, and you’d finally reached your scary, peak of the story, can’t get any more suspenseful than this climax (no dirty implication intended)? Well, I hope for your sake that the answer is no, because it sucks. I’ve experienced that feeling so many times, and I’m sure I’ll experience it again, but I’ll just cut to what’s important: the mess I’m in now.

I know it’s been a long 10 chapters, so in case anyone’s forgetting anything, I’ll recap everything for you. On prom night my brother got shot dead, my girlfriend fled to Europe and abandoned me, In grieving I met a new, Avery. We had a few great months where I recovered to some extent and she was just what I needed, but eventually I came to realize that I’d never be totally better without Ashley in my life- and whadda ya know, in she waltzes. Straddling Aiden. Yeah, that wasn’t fun to see, but I talked to Aiden and Kyla, and apparently she went through some really hard times when I wouldn’t talk to her when she got back from Europe. Her crappy life caught up with her and she tried to kill herself, but now she’s somewhat better. I couldn’t decide whether or not to talk to her, but Avery told me I should- right after she told me that her ex girlfriend cheated on her and broke her heart. No pressure on me or anything. Anyway, I agreed to talk to her this morning, and then we ended up cutting class, and then almost kissing, but then Aiden and the rest of gym glass interrupted us, and I guess it was a blessing and a curse. A blessing because obviously, it stopped me from making out with Ashley, which would be cheating on Avery, but also a curse because I got another detention. Oh yeah, apparently I get detentions now. This is the 3^rd one this week. That’s where I ran into Ashley straddling Aiden the first time and… ugh… I just noticed how many people I have in my life whose names begin with A… Ashley, Avery, Assden… *cough* …Aiden. Well, that’s not important now. On the way to get detention slips, who decides to stroll into the hall but Avery. So we’ve got me between my two exes as they introduce themselves to one another. The catch? Ashley didn’t know that I had a girlfriend. I guess I forgot that little detail.
