Stronger Together

Chapter 67

Londyn's POV

As I'm walking to school I notice everyone is giving me dirty looks

"You're a homophobic bitch!" someone threw a drink at me

"What the fuck?" I socked them

"Look she hit Meg because she's lesbian."

Some dude yelled

"No because she threw her drink at me. Why the fuck are you guys acting like this?" I yelled

"Because you're a waste of space."

"You exposed your best friend to be popular."

"Not true! I'd never say anything bad about Jonah." I defend myself

"Stop lying Londyn they all heard the recording from our conversation." Tabitha said

"Then you know the truth. All I did was protect Jonah from them."

I felt relieved the truth was out

"All we heard were the homophobic things you said about him and how you sold him out."

"We also saw you post about hating gays and pictures of him with other people. How could you send that to his own dad?"

"That's not true! I didn't do any of that."

"Need a refresher? Listen."

Tabitha pressed play on her phone and a recording started playing

"Are you fucking Jonah?"

"No! I could never date a guy who has sucked dick. I already told you it's gross. Jonah is a gross f^g. I'd ruin my friendship to be popular. Let me tell the entire school first and ruin his shitty life"

That's my voice. Those bitches they recorded our conversation then mashed it together to create that

"I never said that! It doesn't even sound natural. They clearly edited it to twist my words!"

"You also posted this and sent these to his parents."

It was pics of Jonah with other dudes and texts he shared with other guys

"You stole my phone! You did that not me!"

"All the guys he fucked say you went and asked them about Jonah. So they're all lying?"

"Yes"

"Homophobic slut"

"Kill yourself bitch"

"Cunt"

"Die in a ditch"

I can't breath

I need air

I ran out of the hall towards the bleachers. On my way I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw Jonah

"Thank God! I'm having the worst day, everyone hates me for no reason!"

"NO REASON? You sent my dad pictures of me sucking dick. You sent the screenshots that I only shared with you to him. I heard the recording you can't sit here and pretend that's not you!"

"Are you that dense? I never said any of that. They edited the recording!"

"Stop fucking lying! Why would you do this to me? Was this just one big game to you? You saw a desperate f^gg^t and you thought, let me just ruin his life? You're a bitch Londyn! Don't ever talk to me. I can't believe I actually fucked you!"

"Jonah just let me explain please!"

"No fuck off and watch your back because I'm gonna ruin your life like you did mine." he vowed

"It's not what it looks like!" I sobbed

Present

"That's the truth. Believe it if you want."

"Do you have proof?" he had the audacity to ask

"Yup. Britney fell out with them and sent me all the receipts. I sent them to you but you blocked me. When I tried to tell you, I was cursed out."

"I have your phone here. Show me."

So I did

He got out the car and started pacing

"FUCK!" he yelled at the top of his lungs

"Londyn I am so sorry I didn't listen to you. I was hurt and blinded by rage. I shouldn't have listened to Tabitha. You were my best friend and I hurt you. Please forgive me? Let's start over?" he was crying

"No, you did more than hurt me Jonah. You broke me. The constant bullying was torture, I had daily panic attacks, I cried myself to sleep, I stopped eating, I started scratching myself. My body is littered with fading scars from when I would scratch my body to feel something. I wore hoodies in California because I didn't want people to see the self harm marks on my body. I'm bipolar and all you did was fuck with my head. I became OCD because of how badly you ruined me. You say you were my friend but you never were. A real friend would've given me the chance to say my side. I used to be able to fight my battles with no problem but after you destroyed me I had no fight left in me. When Jared called me worthless I believe him because the person who knew me best said the same thing. I didn't have enough fight left in me to fight back. I wish I never met you under the bleachers almost two years ago!"

"You can't blame it all on me. Tabitha and your teammates started this whole mess!"

"And I could deal with them when I had you in my corner but you let them get in between us. You told me you'd never take her side over mine but then you did the opposite. That shit hurt Jonah and you don't get to walk back into my life with a stupid apology! It took so much therapy to get over you. I don't have it in me to do this again. Tabitha didn't make Dewy fire me, you did. Tabitha didn't tell everyone at the skatepark I was a homophobe, you did. Tabitha didn't make people boo me at track meets, you did. Tabitha didn't take my virginity then throw me away, you did that. Tabitha didn't tell people I was an easy fuck, you did. Tabitha didn't go to camp and make everyone including the counselors bully me, YOU DID! YOU DID ALL OF THAT JONAH. You took everything from me... including my will to live!" I didn't have it in me to fight back the tears

"Please don't cry. I'm sorry Londyn. I fucked up so badly but I've missed you. I was mad because I fell in love with you and I thought you used me. My dad became abusive and my parents divorced. My mom is fucking depressed and I blamed everything that went wrong on you because it was easier that way. I should've given you a chance and I'm sorry. I needed you here for me and because I was alone I wanted you to feel the same hurt that I did. That wasn't fair and there's no excuse for my behavior but please give me a chance to make it up to you. Maybe one day I could have my friend back."

"You don't deserve my friendship. Work on building one with your new bestie Lucien." I spat

I got out of his car and started making my way back to Maddox's house

"Where are you going?" he asked

"I'm walking back. I don't wanna be in a car with an emotional driver."

"Don't, It's dangerous and you could get hurt."

"You never cared about my safety before."

"I did! Please just let me drive us back then you can go with the girls."

"Fine but don't talk to me." he nodded
