Goodbye Sweet Love
Chapter 17
"That sounds so romantic !" Grace squealed. "Shhh!" I pleaded, looking around the lunch room. No one was paying any attention to us and that was the way I wanted it. I waited until Tyler was in the bathroom to tell her the whole story. "So are you guys like dating now?" She giggled. "I don't know I didn't ask...I just tried to enjoy the moment." I couldn't help but smile, It had been so long since I truly loved someone. I had forgotten how amazing it felt. Tyler walked back to the table and looked at Grace. She had a very weird expression on her face, like she couldn't breathe and I knew what she was holding in. "Grace.." I started. "ARE YOU GUYS DATING??!?!?!?!" She blurted out. I stopped breathing and slowly turned around, just as I thought. Even people from five tables away were staring at us. "Jenny are you okay?" Tyler said. I realized that I was still holding my breath and sighed, "Yeah. I just don't enjoy the attention." I said playing with my fingers nervously. "
I figured someone as beautiful as you would be used to it." He winked and I blushed. "So are ya?" Grace interrupted. Tyler looked at me as if expecting me to know, I mean I have only had one boyfriend in my whole life. "Why would he date that?!?" I heard a girl shout, I knew it was bunny. "I have to go." I hurried away from the table and walked out into the cold winter air. What was I thinking? Someone as cool as him would never like me, He probably just kissed me to make me feel better. He feels sorry for me because I'm such a loser. I felt a tear slide down my cheek, No! Stop it! I yelled at myself. I have to stop feeling sorry for myself. He doesn't like me, fine it doesn't matter. The rest of the day went by slower than ever. Tyler and Grace tried to talk to me a few times but I ignored them. I was walking near the parking lot when I remembered that Tyler had driven me today. Whatever, I'll just walk home. Who needs him anyway? I started walking down the sidewalk when I realized that I would have to walk through 'Matt's' neighborhood to get home. I can take care of myself, It's not like I'd be stupid enough to get hit again. I turned the corner into the neighborhood. I heard a dog bark really loud and some yelling. I just wanted to get out of there. I quickened my pace remembering what happened the last time I was here. I heard footsteps behind me. I was guessing it was Tyler but he just didn't want to scare me, so i slowed to give him a chance. I felt his hand on my shoulder and I turned around to apologize and hug him, But the face I saw Wasn't Tyler.
