Serine

"Can't even tell if, I love or hate you more." -Tate Mcrae, That way

"So?"

"How about we sit down," he suggested. "It's either you talk or I'm out."

"No- I'll talk. Just don't go,"

"You don't see my legs moving now do you?" He sighed with his eyes closed before speaking up. "Look I don't want to fight nor argue with you anymore. I'd never jeopardize what we had before. We actually were on good terms and we were communicating in a way, in the most civilised we could. And be fire you say anything,  I know that you know all of this and there's not need to go back to it but I just need you to believe me when I say that I wasn't the one who told Kelly about what happened to your dad. Serine I'd never do that to you-"

"Then who did it?"

"Ser-"

"If it wasn't you, then who was it?"

"I don't know Goddamnit," I jerked my head back and shook my head in disbelief. "You seriously still think that I'll- simply believe you because it 'wasn't you'? Alexander, who do you think you're fooling?"

I continued. "For the past few days of you wanting to talk to me, you still expect me, to  believe you. So suddenly?"

"No because-" I stopped myself as I realized as I was going to sound like I was in some romantic, High school cliché movie. But I didn't care. "I know I'm stubborn, I know I'm pretty hard to convince but how am I supposed to randomly believe a guy that I disliked with everything in my core, the guy whom I couldn't even look into the eyes and say something nice because it made me sick. Then later on, I realized, he may be annoying but not as bad as I think. And for believing that, I got humiliated, which was one of the worst deja vu moments of my life. And all because Princess Kelly can't even control herself whenever she is around you and all for you to go on, and tell her about everything."

"I told you I never told her!"

"Then fucking convince me! Because you're not talking, you're basically doing nothing and all because you're protecting your girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" I nodded. "I mean, it's kind of obvious. Even that you can't hide. You know what though? I don't care, staying here will only be wasting my minutes of living."

"You're jealous," I heard him say and I failed to suppress my chuckle. "Me? Jealous of Kelly?" I chuckled once again. "Look, I don't need to be jealous of anybody to get somebody else's attention. If that's what you think, then you really need to get over yourself because Kelly's and I's 'feud' goes years back. Okay? You won't always be the main character in everybody's story."

By now I was feeling so much more lighter, I was just letting out everything I could about this whole situation.

"And let me make something clear," I stepped forward. "We never had anything going on. You know it, I know it. You can't jeopardize something that was simply non existent. "  I turned around to walk off but his hand was already wrapped around my wrist. Stopping me from going elsewhere.

"I wasn't done speaking,"

"And I give 0 fucks."

"You're going to listen to me," he said managing to turn me around to face him and he had my wrists were in his grip. I fisted my arms and pushed them down causing him to let go. "Speak."

"Has it ever occurred to you that it could've been Amber? You know how sly she can be," I hadn't thought about but it did make sense.

You could say Amber was more of the brains in that trio and she had a big mouth. So does Levine, so long story short, it was clash at first sight. Amber was more knowledgeable, I might've called her a bimbo before yes, a bimbo is what she displays herself as.

If it wasn't for her being a bitch, we could've gotten along but at the same time, don't be friend your best friends enemy right?

"Believe me or not, I'd never want to hurt you in any way Serine. I saw you cry, and I knew there was just this very soft girl on the outside. Kelly is not my girlfriend, never will be never was. That kiss was a mistake and I made a mistake, I shouldn't have let Kelly talk to you like that in front of everybody. "

"Look you don't know me, not one bit. I don't need any explanations because we're not anything, and-"

I didnt get to finish my sentence when I felt his lips on mine.

I froze.

Without even knowing, hot tears were already streaming down my face and my mind was just confused, clouded and on stand still.

I didn't realize that his lips were off mine until I saw him pull away slowly.

He seemed to have noticed my tears and right as he was about to touch my face, I pushed him away slightly and swing my hand against his cheek.

My insides were turning and everything was simply fuzzy.

"Serine that-"

"Was a mistake."
