My Heart Aches for You by Abbie Davis (best biographies to read txt) 📖

Chapter 1

“She just sits there and watches out the window,”My mom said to my dad,”Why does she not see that this is good for her? He can’t hurt her anymore and that is the best thing for her.”

“Maybe because they were in love with one another,”My dad defended me,”She wants him to hold her and be there. She feels empty without him here.”

“Well sometimes love is not there,”My mom said leaving the doorway of my room.

  My heart has been ripped out of my chest and now there is a hole there. I sit in the window seat of my room and wait for them to come back to me. The pack of wolves outside that always come to see me have even disappeared from me. I couldn’t make sense of it now and the world seems to hate me even more.

  I can’t get lines right with our new lead and he keeps on messing them up. I have to restrain myself from beating the life out of him for it. Soccer has become the way I relieve my anger from my system but I just get more frustrated that I can’t make a goal anymore. It has all went down hill to me and it all began with him leaving me behind.

“Come on princess,”Dad said pulling me up,”Let’s go get some ice cream to cheer you up.”

“Yeah maybe that will help,”I said as he wrapped an arm around my little frame.

  We walked down the stairs and he got his keys from Jacob as he handed me a coat. I slipped it on and put the hood up. It has been raining all day today and I want to say that the sky was feeling my pain. I looked at the sky as a drop hit me in the eye and I gave a sad smile. The world hates to see me like this but it took him away from me.

  I jumped into the front seat of dad’s black mustaine and closed the door as he got in the front seat. He started the car and See You Again by Carrie Underwood began to play. I closed my eyes as I let the words go over my body to relax my tense muscles. I opened them up again as I saw the faint from of the black wolf that would watch me past by as a cloud. He was the kindest one of them and looked after me as if he would never leave my side.

“Have you tried calling him today?”Dad said as we went to the highway.

“I tried for the last year and still no answer,”I said holding my phone out,”What if mom was right about him and I was just blinded?”

“She’s not right about him Cathy,”He said rubbing my arm,”You were and I know he will come back to you. He will always be there for you and I know that.”

“How then,”I questioned looking out the window.

“Because I was that way for your mother,”He said as I turned to meet his eyes,”She had a weird past but I loved her. I had to leave for a time but I came back to a broken girl as I had left her. She won’t admit that to anyone but she was heartbroken when I had to leave her.”

   I nodded and hit the phone button to call him for the hundred billionth time in this past year. I listened to the rings like normal and to my surprise I got him to pick it up for once. I smiled as I waited to hear his voice once again.

“Hello,”Layne’s voice said.

“Layne is that you,”I asked as I heard yelling in the background.

“Yes it is,”He said in his cute little voice,”Alex can’t come to his phone right now.”

“Why is that?”

“He...has...to...do something big for his dad.”

“Layne are you lying to me.”

“No...”

“Hey Catherine,”K.C.’s voice said this time,”Layne is just trying to make it sound like he was busy today.”

“Hey K.C.,”I said as I knew she would tell me,”So why hasn’t he been picking up the phone?”

“Catherine,”She said in a sad tone,”He is a broken figure and can’t take the pain of it. He is always busy with helping his dad out and it has gotten to him over the last year. He really wants to talk with you but he is doing this to protect you from the others.”

“What others K.C.?”I asked as she stopped.

“Don’t tell her that,”I heard the faint voice of my Alex.

“He is scared someone will hurt you,”Kate said before they hung up.

  I stared at the phone as I was now confused on what had just happen. They were all saying things as if I wasn’t to have known something about them. Could Josh have been right about them being werewolves? I was thrown from my thoughts as the ice cream shop came into my view. I smiled at the thought of ice cream.

  We walked in and I got my usual of a chocolate ice cream cup with caramel cups and chocolate chips. I sat next to one of the window seats and watched the people pass by as I ate my chocolate delight. Dad was there looking out with me knowing how hard it has been for me with all of this. I closed my eyes as I watched the people pass by. They all seemed to be happy with their lives and had no cares for the real world. If only they knew about the pain I been through this past year.

Chapter 2

~~~Alex~~~

 

   I scowled at the three little people in front of me. I had told them NOT to answer Catherine’s call but Kate took my phone and Layne had to answer it. I looked at them as I fell on to my bed in the new house. We had to move to Dallas, Texas. Thankfully Mr. Clark allowed us to stay in their old home for the time being.

“She need to be answered Alex,”Kate said getting on the bed,”You have started to become a different person.”

“No I haven’t Kate!”I snapped at her.

   She cowered back and went over to Layne and K.C. as I sat up. My own sister was scared of me now. I sighed as I ran my hands through my hair. K.C. walked up to me and handed me my phone back with her number in it and ready to dial.

“She needs to hear your voice Alex,”She said,”I’ve talked to Kristy and she said that Catherine has locked herself up and is thinking about stopping theatre. Her life isn’t that much different from yours right now. Call her.”

“I can’t for if I give her hope of us coming back…”I started as I saw Jacky and Kristy’s Sister walk in.

“She needs you,”Alicia snapped at me,”If my sister calls me again and says that she has stop doing what she loved to do because you are not there to help make sense with it I will throw a level eighteen tantrum here in this room.”

“What is a level eighteen?”Layne and Kate ask.

“One that I put on the map for all kids,”She said evilly.

  I grabbed my phone and climbed out the window in defeat. I have seen a video of that tantrum and trust me it is scary to witness. I went to the roof of the building and looked out at the sky. It was 6pm and I knew that she would have her phone near her. I looked at the number as her smiling face flashed in my head.

  I pushed the call button and listened to each ring as if they were the pain of my days. I really must have changed if Kate is scar of me now. I soon heard the phone get answer and her melody like voice came from the other end.

“Hello,”She said in an almost sad like tone.

“Hey Catherine,”I said in the same tone.

“Alex you called me,”She said in a happier tone now,”How have you been?”

“Good,”I said with a smile,”I miss you everyday. I also heard from K.C. that you are thinking about dropping the theatre. Why is that?”

“The guy that took your spot is horrible. He can’t even learn his lines correctly and when it is my turn to say mine he has screwed it up so much I’m confused on it.”

“Wow who is he?”

“My cousin.”

“Ouch.”

“Hey I gotta go now. I’m glad to hear your voice again.”

“Yours too.”

  With that she hung up and I climbed down the tree and back to my window. It was Catherine's room but I turned it into mine now. I hated how I could feel her here but open my eyes up and she is not here. I looked around and gave a smile at my family. Kate squealed and ran over to me with her arms opened wide.

 I picked the little ball of fun up as she had her arms around my neck. I must have scared them with how I was acting now. Dad walked in and turned to me as if he was up to something now. I gave a confused look as I was tossed a little blue book. I looked down and saw it was a play.

“We got three days to learn them,”He said as it hit me.

  I opened it as the lines were already marked and there was even Catherine’s. I let my eyes scim it as if it was now the main focus of my attention span. I heard laughter as I held onto Kate and the book.

“We have got him back at least,”Lindsey joked. 

Chapter 3

    I ran down the field as the other team was on my heels again. I looked behind me as I saw a slight movement in the woods. I kicked the ball and it curved to my favorite right top corner. It went in so gracefully it couldn’t have been real. I looked at the girls as they all cheered at how I was almost back to my old self.

  I just got to keep the bullying to go down and we be set for life. I turned as my mom walked up with Josh beside her and a smile. I’ve been spending a lot of time with him since they left and I was getting ticked by it. He should be learning lines and not bugging me 24/7.

“You two are going to do that thing we had discuss last night,”My mom said.

“Really,”I
