Chances Are
Chapter
23
I sat there stunned. He went upstairs with her at the
party… It was him. He put his head down, not wanting to
see my anger. He was drunk, but he didn’t apologize.
“Okay then” “What?” “Okay, you
slept with her, you two were drunk.” “You’re
okay with it?” “No, but it’s in the past and it
was one time right?” “Yes of course only one
time!” “Well, I forgive you, but I can’t be
with you.” I felt bad but I needed to be honest. I loved
Jason more than anyone, but he slept with another girl, who he
didn’t even really like. The look on his face broke my
heart. “Goodbye Jason.” And with that I got up and
left. I walked out of the cafeteria crying. I ran down the hall
towards my locker.
I suddenly ran into a hard figure that wrapped their arms around
me. It was Marcus. I knew his arms, not very well, but I remember
their warmth. “Shh..Shh..it’s okay” He
didn’t know why I was crying, or maybe he did. I stood
there with him in the empty hall way for a few minutes. Once I
stopped sobbing he looked at me with warm eyes and asked
“Why are you crying?” I didn’t know why really.
I knew me and Jason would never work out, and it’s not like
he actually cheated on me because he kissed me Sunday two days
after he slept with her. It still hurt. Disneyland hurt, he
kissed me despite everything. He kissed me in a place with
memories. I thought of my parents and it made me want to cry
more. I haven’t cried since their funeral a few months
ago.
I looked back up into his eyes after staring at his chest in
thought. I finally responded “Everything, it’s all
right, but it’s all…wrong” He pulled me into
him again and I wrapped my arms around him. We stood there in a
hug while my tears slowly stopped. Lunch was almost over and I
knew I’d have to go to class. “Look, Nicole, I really
like you and I know you love Jason and I can’t really beat
that but…” I suddenly put my hand around his neck
and pulled him into a kiss. After we separated I said back
“I like you too.” We kissed again and then the bell
rang. We slowly separated and went to class. I was in a daze the
rest of the day and thought about walking home. Bella drove me on
Fridays but it was nice out and I could stop by the bakery down
the street and pick up something for me and Ariel. As I walked
out I saw Marcus texting by his friend’s car with a few
other guys. As soon as he saw me he came over to me.
He wrapped his arms around me and smiled “Hey”
“Hello there” “Do you have a ride home?”
He looked around to see if someone was going to take me home.
“Nope, I felt like walking home today. Maybe stop by the
bakery” “Can I come?” I nodded with enjoyment
at the idea and we started heading for the bakery.
Half way there he grabbed my hand and said in the middle of our
conversation “So can I ask you something?”
“Sure, anything” he stopped us and took a deep
breath. He looked into my eyes and said “Will you, Nicole,
be my girlfriend?” his voice cracking at my name.
“Finally.” He smiled at me, kissed my forehead and we
were on our way.
When we got to the bakery he was laughing like crazy because I
got the hiccups. “It’s not that funny!” as we
got in line. Hiccup. Every time he started laughing at me.
“You’re right it’s not funny”
“Thank you” “It’s hilarious!”
Hiccup. He kept laughing and I rolled my eyes while looking
around the store.
As my eyes fall on Courtney sitting with
Jason.
