Chapter Fourteen
"Kallie, Kallie were you not listening?" Hannah asked at the lunch table, "The guys think we are really going to win, isn't that great!" Hannah grabbed my hand and I quickly pulled away not entirely thinking.
"Babe," Will looked at me, almost confused at my silent, angry tone, "you good?"
I looked up and my eyes went towards the table where one person was missing from, a coward to not show up. I hate him. I thought I could trust him. I should've been able to trust him but he didn't show. He wasn't there, he disappeared in seconds.
Will grabbed my hand and pulled me up before walking me out of the cafeteria, "What's going on?"
"Nothing, I just haven't had the best sleep. I'm sorry, I'll be better," I looked up at him and my gut turned at the guilt.
"I love you," he whispered, kissing my lips suddenly. How could I look at him and then search for Alec's forgiveness. I shouldn't want to see Alec, I shouldn't want to fix the mistakes I had made with him. This had to be a sign to tell me that I shouldn't be around him. I shouldn't have a want to see him, to be around him. Will, Will is who I should want.
I hugged him tightly and tried to not let my body break down into tears, I shouldn't want to cry in his hold. I was weak wanting comfort for what felt like another break up. When did I become that girl? I need to tell Will the truth, if I don't he may not ever forgive me.
"Will," I started to say but then Jack appeared out of nowhere and threatened Will, he was angry and I didn't know why or what the cause of it was.
"Kallie go back in the cafeteria please," Will said, releasing me and I looked from Jack to Will, "Go now!" there was anger in his voice.
"Nah nah nah, let her hear this Will. Let her see how much of a fucking peice of shit you are for sl-" Will threw a punch and I realized I had never seen him get that angry before.
People began to come out of nowhere and crowd the hallway chanting the same words over and over again, "fight fight fight!"
I didn't know what to do, if I should stop them from messing each other's faces up but instead I stood there frozen. Jack's own voice echoed through my head. What was he trying to say, what did he want me to hear? Two hands wrapped around my arms and I turned expecting Alec but only found Hannah behind Thomas whose hands were on me.
"What happened?" he asked out loud expecting me to know exactly what went on but I shook my head unsure myself.
Thomas didn't wait until he saw who was fighting Will and instantly went in.
"Are you and Jack still a thing?" I asked her suddenly.
"No, he's a psycho. He got pissed because I'm just messing around but he wants commitment and we both know I don't do too well with that," Hannah wrapped an arm around my own, "But come back in the lunchroom. The boys will settle it. I don't think Will would want you to see this," Hannah eyed the still chaotic situation before pulling me away from the tension still burning.
"I need to go talk to Sophie real quick, I'll be back," I pulled myself away from Hannah without hearing her response and went straight towards their table and sat next to Sophie.
She jumped and looked over at my direction confused and surprised, "You scared me," she spoke out loud then having her hand on her chest.
"Can we have a girls night tonight?" I asked her and she looked confused.
"What about the party tonight?" she looked at me a bit lost, "you were talking about how Will really wants you to go just last week. You sure you don't want to?"
