chapter 10, strangers

Liam and I stayed in the nurse's office talking when we heard someone open the door.

It was Andrew

My fists clenched holding Liam's hand while he was on the bed suddenly he squeezed my hand,

I look at liam and he gives me a smile,

'Hey Liam,' Andrew said looking down.

Anger raised in me.

I want to yell,

But I can't. I still loved him and it hurts.

''Look, I'm sorry Liam for hurting you,' Andrew said.

He didn't even look at me.

My heart ached, it felt like I'd been stabbed.

The man I loved is now a stranger

I couldn't stand looking at anyone right now.

I got up

"I'll be outside if you need me Liam,' I said and left the room in anger and pain

I left the school, and went to the yard. I could see the school setting up decorations for tomorrow's dance.

I sit on the bench and look at the view,

Birds on a tree, Couples laughing, a guy asking a girl to dance.

And I had nobody to go to the dance yet,

But who needs a guy? They all are just going to hurt you.

I already had a dress I bought yesterday, and it was expensive.

I'm not just going to waste the dress.

I look behind me to see Andrew leaving the school, He starts walking my way. I couldn't stand him so as he was walking up to me, I just left the school yard.

My heart ached leaving him, Yet I knew it would have been the best for both of us

Or so I thought

I got home and put a movie on, I wanted to get Andrew off my mind, Especially the thought of him might going to the dance too.

What if he already has a new date?

You may be asking, why can't I go with Liam.

2 reasons

1, he can't go to the dance because of how bruised he was

And 2, I still loved Andrew and I can't hurt him like that.

It hurt me to imagine Andrew dancing with some other girl,

It hurt that he told the school OUR secret.

I needed to get things off my mind so I put on my favorite movie

I planned to stay up late since the principal said we had no school because of everyone setting up for the dance in the evening.

I was excited,

Yet nervous.
