The Army Brat

Chapter 12

"Sure" I said grabbing Chris' arm knowing he wouldn't break the staring contest willingly

We sat at an empty bench 3 seats away from Alex and Josh

"What's up?" I ask breaking the silence
"Um ,who is that guy" he asked slightly pissing me off
"Why does it matter?" I asked with my eyebrow raised
"It doesn't I  just-"
" Just what?"
"Nothing. Um, why weren't you at school last week?"
"Aww were you looking for me?" We both laughed
"Yeah actually" he said casually making me smile
"I had.....family issues"
"Oh"
"Yeah" I said nodding my head
The silence was awkward only because I knew he wanted to ask me more but clearly doesn't have the balls
"Just talk"
"What?" He asked looking confused
"Say what you have to say, ask what you want to ask. Just talk" I said shrugging
"Are you coming to the Cascade tonight?"
" I don't know. I need to help out my grandma with stuff so.." I trailed off
"Just- okay "
We sit for awhile just staring at each other in an almost comfortable silence. Then he started to lean forward looking at my lips but I couldn't let him. I placed my hand on his chest gently pushing him back
He look confused, embarrass and even a little sad
"I can't " I said softly
"Who is he" he asked looking down not meeting me eyes
"Ex boyfriend" I don't know why I was telling him this sure we kissed a couple of times but we only knew each other for a couple of days and I know boys like him, he just wants a nice fuck maybe to win a bet and then he'll move on
"I gotta go" with that he got up and walked away I saw his face even tho he moved so quickly , he looked angry .

I went to Alexa seeing that Josh wasn't there and for some reason I knew he was going to start something.
"Lets go ,now" I told Alex

We moved quickly trying to find either Josh or Chris preferably not together. When we went around another corner we saw them, standing there. Josh said something I was to far to hear. I pushed through the crowd that had now gathered making my way towards them. Then all I could hear was people shouting, cheering, laughing. When I finally made it to the front I hand my bag to Alex and stood there thinking about who to grab and how. They were both on the ground Josh on top of Chris punching him so I moved quickly. I ran up and grab Josh's arm just as he was about to hit Chris again. I twisted his arm behind his back and pushed him  against a wall.
"Stop" I yelled making everyone go silent
Chris got up walking towards Josh but I shot him a glare
"Don't. Do . It." I calmly said
He took a step back knowing I would beat his ass if he came any closer
I let go of Josh's arm and turned to everyone
"The shows over." I said but everyone just stood there look at me like I've grown two heads
"LEAVE!" I shouted and everyone started walking away
I gave the boys a very disappointed look at walked away not knowing what to say to them. I heard Alexa yelling from behind me but I ignored her not knowing what to say.
"Stop. Now." She yelled making me stop dead in my tracks
"Come here." With that I walked over to her and hugged her
"I hate immature people. There 17 going 18 and fighting over a girl. They don't own me. Like what the fuck? I honestly don't know why Chris even cares he just wants to fuck right? And Josh I- I don't even know" I rambled off
"Lets go" I looked at her confused
"Let's leave" she said clarifying what she said before
"Lets do it" I said smiling at her

We ran to my car hoping no one saw us and went to my house quickly to grab bathing suites. After 20 minutes of singing our hearts out we arrived at the beach.

After 4 hours at the beach we decided to head home. When I dropped off Alex i took the long way home just to drive alone for a little while just to think.
