You know that feeling where in you just feel empty inside and out that you come to school looking like a zombie and then come home looking ten times worse than a zombie? Well i did and Everyone even became afraid of me. Like i would eat their brains or something. I would though if that takes away the empty feeling inside me.

James had been absent for a whole week now and i was more than afraid and worried of what could have happened to him. Tina and Mark had kept reassuring me that James was this kind of guy before; always being absent for a week in a month. They said it was a normal thing but the uncertainty look they were giving each other gave it away. Now i was just hell worried about him. It wasn't normal when it has been a month of James constantly coming to our house and then suddenly disappearing just like that.

I came home from school with a frown on my face, shoulders slouching, and just plain zombie looking. Brenda was wise enough to not say anything because if she did, i would have lashed on her. I was giving my grandmother the cold shoulder and i was just giving a silent treatment to the other members left on the family. Dad being dad still would talk to me even though he knew i would never reply. I didn't even tell him what was wrong with me but he knew it had something to do with James.

I threw my bag on the floor and laid down on my bed without another thought. I don't even understand why i'm acting like this. I don't understand why James' absence made me react like this.

Suddenly a knock on my door made me snap away from my thoughts. I look at my cream colored door debating wether to open it myself or not. Realizing i'm actually not allowing myself to talk, i sighed, stood up and slowly opened the door to reveal my dad.

Leaving my door open, i went back to my bed and lay down on the same position just a while ago. Dad crossed his arms near his chest and leaned on the door frame looking at me disapprovingly. I knew this was what he didn't want me to be. But i can't help it. I'm an overreacting emotional bitch. I become like this without even realizing it.

"This was what i was afraid of." My dad said and shook his head. "What made this more disapproving is the fact James didn't even do anything wrong yet here you are moping around." My dad continued.

I didn't answer and just let dad talk until he thinks he has enough and become satisfied that he had let everything out. It's better that way than the constant bickering. I have enough of that.

"I mean, i didn't regret letting James inside of your life. I trust that young man now. And you seem to be happy with him. It's just that, you seem to be rather too affected with James' absence." Dad said. "Don't tell me, you love him now?"

I didn't reply to his question, but my heart was pounding really loud i was afraid dad would hear it. But he didn't, because he sighed after a minute of silence.

"Just, get better soon Audrey, don't let such a small reason ruin your whole life." Dad said surprising me.

I heard the door close quietly but being silent, you get to hear the most quietest things in the world. I sat up and looked at my door before sighing. Was i really falling for him?

My phone vibrated making me stand up and fish it out of my bag seeing as someone has tweeted me. I opened the tweet as i walked towards my clothes to change since my uniform made me feel so uncomfortable today.

@jpeaston: i'm back! Missed me @CutieDrey ?

For the first time since a week, i smiled.

@CutieDrey: in your dreams Easton! Where have you been anyway?
