Before We Become Undone
SEQUEL TO WHATEVER IT TAKES
Chapter 6 - Monday Morning
Adjusting back to week at school is hard after the weekend. Especially when it's a rainy Monday morning. I pull out a black and white crop top with leggings and my Hunter rain boots. As I apply my makeup, I look at the clock. 6:55 the digital numbers gleam back at me. I'm behind. I hurry through the rest of my morning routine, barely sliding into my dad's car by 7:34. "You're late," He scolds and turns up the ignition. I sit quietly and don't respond. What's really on my mind is Andrew, if he'll say something to me, suddenly want me back or something romantic like that, and James, of what kind of conversation we'll make after our makeout and discussion at the party this weekend. I sigh, high school is pretty gosh darn difficult. As I walk inside I spot Megan and Liana walking out of the cafeteria. They instantly light up when they see me. "Hey!" Megan says hugging me and Liana smiles at me. "What's up guys?" I reply back, trying to sound excited, but inside, my stomach was churning. What if I ran into Andrew? Or James for that matter? "Not much, we're heading up to visit Ms. Partridge, wanna come?" Ms. Partridge was our Honors World History teacher freshmen year, and Megan, Liana, and a few others were always visiting her. "No thanks, I have to stop at my locker and print something in the library, I'll catch up with you later," I finish, smiling so they both wave goodbye and head up stairs. I unlock my locker, put my bag away, and close the locker only to find Andrew, leaning up against the lockers behind my now closed locker door. "What are you doing here?" I ask, trying to sound angry but end up sounding more upset. "I don't know." He sighs at my tone, clearly not noticing the hurt in my voice. "You don't know?" I raise my voice a bit, getting a few stares from the burnouts but they quickly turn away. "I just, I don't know, I miss you," His voice cracks a little. I'd never seen this side of him before, and I didn't know if I should trust it, or assume it's a trap. "Miss me how?" I reply, gaining more confidence. Did he miss me as a friend? Or a girlfriend? "I liked talking to you, hugging your waist, kissing you. I just hate how I threw it all away for some sophomore who was just crazy drunk at my sister's party." He sighed. He looked defeated. I almost forgot the fact he cheated on me. "Well-" I begin but mentally regret what I was about to say. "Bottom line, you cheated on me." I say, a little too harshly I guess because he frowned in a worried way and looked at the ground. After a while, he spoke. "I know." He paused for a moment, as if he were forming what he wanted to say to me into understandable words. "It was really wrong for me to do that to you. I don't even deserve a chance. I don't even know if that's what I'm asking for. I just liked being with you, you were always happy, smiling, beautiful." He finished sadly. I winced at the last word. He had called me beautiful the night of Madeline's party, before we hooked up, and before he hooked up with that lousy sl*t of a sophomore. As much as it hurt me, to not be with him, in his arms, touching his lips, I had to let go. There was no choice. "You called me beautiful that night you know," I said softly, a pang of sadness hit me like a ferocious wave at the beach. He looked down at his feet. "Goodbye Andrew," I turn around walking away so I don't let him see me fall apart, almost knocking into James. It was going to be one hell of a morning that's for sure.
