Janette rolls her eyes and huffs, then turns around "Weirdos," she rins at me and then points down at the journal "Here," she says "I’m about to read the very last entry"

I move the box that separates us and I scoot closer to her so I can read the last entry with her "Is it weird? Sharing your journal with ht shake "Not really I kind of feel like we aren’t them"

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3RD

It’s only been fifteen minutes since I last wrote in this journal As soon as I closed it, Silas texted me and said he was outside Since my mother doesn’t allow him in our house anyht my breath and I instantly hated ainst his Land Rover--his feet crossed at the ankles, his hands shoved in his jacket pockets A shiver ran over me, but I blahetti straps

He wouldn’t even look up when I walked to his car I leaned against it next to him and folded my arms over my chest We stood there for several moments, suspended in silence

"Can I just ask you one question?" he said

He kicked off his car and stood in front of ed me in He dipped his head a couple of inches until ere eye to eye The position ere in was nothing new We’d stood like that aatat ure out who in the hell I was He was scrolling over er

"Charlie," he said, his voice raspy He pulled his bottom lip in and bit down on it while he cohed and then closed his eyes "Are you sure this is what you want?"

"Yes"

His eyes popped open at the steadfastness into hide in his expression The shock The realization that he wasn’t going to talk me out of it

He tapped his fist on the car twice and then shoved hi to go inside th to let hi this We aren’t a good uilty Our families hate each other We’re different now

When I reachedinto his car

"I won’t miss you, Charlie"

His comment shocked me, so I turned and looked at him

"I’ll miss the old you I’ll miss the Charlie I fell in love with But whoever this is you’re turning into…" He waved his hand flippantly up and downto miss"

He climbed inside his car and slammed his door He backed out of the driveway and peeled away, his tires screeching against the streets of one

A sry that he didn’t try harder Most of me is relieved that it’s finally over

All this tis used to be between us He’s convinced hiain one day

While he spends all of his tiet

I don’t want to remember how it feels to kiss him
