Beautiful Nightmare
Chapter 2
The first time Kacey hurt me, I would soon learn it wasn't the last. Kerrie, Addison, Lola, Alex and I were all standing in a circle in the hallway talking. It was mid May and it was really warm out, I was wearing a tank top. Suddenly, I felt someone hit me, HARD. It was open palmed across my bare upper back. I turned around and there standing behind me was Kacey, he just nodded and walked away. I turned back to my friends and Kerrie said, "Did he just hit you?"
I nodded, "He slapped me."
Then Lola said, "Wait, turn around."
I did, then I turned back, "Is it bad?"I asked.
Nobody spoke, then Addison said, "You have a five star on your back."
We were all quiet for a minute.
Then Alex said, "Lily, you can't be friends with that jerk."
I looked at her, "He's my lab partner, I can't just ignore him."
"I'm not saying you have to ignore him," Alex said, "You just can't be friends."
I nodded, "Don't worry, I can't fogive him after that."
Then Kerrie, always the optomistic one said, "That's kinda harsh don't you think?"
I looked at her, "I was just starting to trust him Ker, I thought he was a really sweet guy."
She nodded, then the bell rang and we all went our seperate ways.
I walked into the science lab, there he is, sitting at our lab table.
I took a deep breath then calmly walked over to my seat, without a word.
Out of the corner of my eye I saw him looking at me, "Hey Lilly..."
I didn't say anything, I didn't even blink.
"Hey? You okay?"
Still no answer.
"Look, if this is about earlier, I didn't mean anything by it. I was just messing with you, I'm sorry."
I looked at him, with an intense long gaze. He thinks he can just say sorry? I don't think so mister, you have to try harder then that.
We took notes in science, so luckily I didn't have to talk to him at all, but it was hard knowing he just didn't care. I guess he did kinda care, I mean he'd basically lost his first real friend. He knew it too, he kept apologizing over and over again. It still wasn't enough.
Then after school he found me at my locker, he started to say he was sorry, then he realized it wasn't worth it, he'd screwed up.
Then I saw the hurt look in his eyes, I knew he really was sorry. I had been giving him the silent treatment the rest of the day. I turned to him and tapped him on the shoulder.
He turned around and said, "Lilly, I'm really, really sorry."
"I know you are."
"Will you forgive me?" He said with hopeful eyes.
I nodded, then he pulled me in close, into a warm embrace. Then while we were hugging I looked over his shoulder and I saw Addison standing there. Watching us.
