Does He Really Care

Chapter 3

L's POV

After me and Heather 's talk in the hallway I felt like shit for what I did to Amber. It was really fucked up and I knew that, I was just so annoyed. But after Lisa embarrassed me in the hallway I wanted to do it all over again.

I heard all those kids laughing as I walked away. Every single one of the holding up phones recording. Amber needs to learn how to control her fucking friends. Now she's gonna pay. I'm going to ruin her.

Amber's POV

When I finally make it home I go straight to my room and lay across my bed. The music still flowing through my ears but it not helping. All the songs about being in love only make me remember what I thought me and L would one day have. As the thoughts fill my mind my chest gets heavy and I can barely breathe. Tears begin to roll down my cheeks once again. My phone vibrates pulling me from my thoughts I have a notification on Instagram but I ignore it and lay back down. About 2 minutes and 30 seconds into Stay With Me I'm drifting off to sleep.

When I wake up my phone is blown up. I have 17 notifications from Instagram and 13 text messages. I open Instagram first I have 17 video tags from some account called @proving_a_point. I click on the account and the profile picture is of me. What the hell? I read the bio.

I don't like her I never have and never will she is the vein of my existence! I hate her and I'll prove it! Account by L Baker

I scroll through the videos and can't believe what's happening L has made an entire instagram account of videos of him spilling all of my secrets. He's reading text I've sent him, confessing every secret I've told and trusted him with. I begin to scroll through the comments and I can't take anymore. I lock my phone and throw it on the floor. How could he do this? Why would he do this? A whole account dedicating to making me feel inferior.

*The next morning*

As I walk through the halls I see everyone staring at me. I hear girls walking behind me giggling. Everywhere I go people are teasing me, reciting the text I had sent L while there friends laugh in the background, people pointing at me as I walk by. This is hell. If there were ever a time to be invisible this would be it.

When I see Lisa approaching me I relief instantly takes over me. She walks over to me and gives me a hug and two guys begin to point and laugh.

"Can we fucking help you" she barks releasing me from her arms

"Are you that chick L bashed on insta?" his question obviously directed towards me. I look at the ground and Lisa speaks for me.

"Unless you want me to kick your ass you'll walk away" she shouts much to loud. Everyone stares at us but I keep my eyes on the ground. The bell rings and everyone scatters into classrooms.

"Are you Okay?" she ask her voice soft and sympathic.

"Yea I'm fine" I answer still looking at the ground

"Amber?!" her voice much stronger as she lift my chin to make me look her in the eyes.

"I am I swear" I lie

"Okay" she sighs before giving me a hug and heading to class.

"Wait" I shout and she turns around

"Yea?"

"Promise me you won't do anything" I plead.

"What do you mean" she questions in an innocent tone

"You know exactly what I mean. If you see him don't say or do anything to him please."

"Ugh fine." She growls and rolls her eyes

"Thank you" I smile and open my arms inviting another hug. But she declines

"Mmhmm" She mumbles throwing her hands in the air as she turns and walks away obviously annoyed. I know Lisa and the last thing I need is her trying to confront L about everything that has happened. Her idea of confronting is a bit unique.

The rest of the day was hell just like this morning people still teasing me in the halls. The girls mocked me in the dressing room after athletics but Lisa helped me out there, well that is if you consider threatening to punch everybody in the boobs so hard they get breast cancer help, but it worked everyone shut up immediately. All of 4th period kids passed me notes about how pathetic I was. Which they weren't wrong but I already knew and there assistance was not needed. The bus was worse the girls behind me played the videos over and over again on full volume and everyone laughed repeated every word.

When I get home I text Lisa

* Fml *

Lisa * it's gonna be okay I swear *

* your kidding right?! did you see those kids in the halls today and the locker room and my classes and don't even get me started on the bus! *

Lisa * okay okay but really this will all blow over in a few days *

* A FEW DAYS *

Lisa * I know it sounds bad but I'll be there with you *

* I know *

Lisa * I have to go to volleyball but I'll talk to you later *

* Okay play good tonight *

Lisa * I'll try*

When I wake up I think God it's Friday I just want this week to be over with! My mom brings be to school so I get there really early. As I'm walking down the hall to my locker I see L headed in my direction. I begin to panic unsure of what to do. The past two days have been hell on earth for me. When he gets closer I decide to confront him. Well sort of...

"Hey L can I talk to you"

"Sure but if your looking for an apology your not gonna get one" his voice strong and proud

" I wasn't "

"Kay good so what do you wanna talk about"

" I was just wondering if you could take down your account"

"Why would I do that"

" Its just everyone is teasing me and stuff"

" I know right! Its funny as hell"

"Well not for me. Plus I think you've proven your point."

"Maybe but I'm not done with you yet"

"What do you mean"

"Are you hurting Amber"

"Yes I am!"

"Good then it's working" he grins and pushes past me

"Why are you doing this" I yell. He turns and re-approaches me.

"Because Amber you ruined the high school experience for me! 3 years ago when I became your friend, that was the worst mistake I've ever made and I regret it. Now it's your turn to regret."

"I regret trust me! Isn't this enough for you! It was bad enough you had to embarrass me in front all of our friends why'd you have to make an Instagram page!"

"You don't get it do you" he chuckles " it's not gonna be enough for me until I see you break and I mean really break"

I'm speechless. He turns around to leave then turns back.

"And you know what's just the cherry on top of the ice cream" I don't reply. "Your still in love with me" he laughs then walks away leaving me alone in the hallway.
