High School Love?

Confessions and Tears - Chapter 11

Above is the two beautiful Branson siblings (and who doesn't want to see a badass looking brother and sister?)  Anyway, enjoy the chapter my loves!!

After I calmed down, I walked into school with Bella and Zoe at my sides. I saw Axel and Liam with Jason and some other guys from the team. Axel was yelling at Jason while Liam stood behind him, a murderous look on his face. 

“YOU THINK YOU CAN MESS WTIH MY SISTER AND GET AWAY WITH IT?! WELL GUESS AGAIN PUNK, CAUSE I’M ABOUT TO BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THAT PRETTY LITTLE FACE OF YOURS!”

As soon as I heard that, I ran over to them, ignoring Bella and Zoe’s shouts of protest. I pushed my way into the circle that had formed and I saw Roxanne standing next to Cade, flirting with him and giggling. I focused on Axel and walked over to him. “Axel, please don’t do this, he’s not worth it.” I whispered to him. 

He turned to me and his hard face turned soft at the sight of my red eyes and tear streaked face. “Addie, you’re my baby sister, and he hurt you. I couldn’t protect you against Cade, but I CAN protect you against Jason and that’s what I’m going to do.” I sighed and turned to Jason, “Jason, don’t talk to me, don’t look at me. I never want to see you again but I can’t do that because of school. Just stay out of my way and I’ll stay out of yours.”

I was tired of crying and fighting. I’ve only known Jason for a week and a half, but I already fell so hard and so fast for him. I don’t think this is worth the heartache I’m feeling right now. I feel broken and sad.

I turn away and pull Axel and Liam with me.

“ADELAIDE WAIT!!”

I turn around and look at Jason, a new surge of anger and courage coursed through me. “What Jason? What do you want from me?! You want my virginity? Well that’s been taken already! You want to know by who? Well, your friend Cade who’s flirting with your girlfriend over there thought it would be funny to make me fall in love with him and then try to have sex with me. When I refused, he locked me in a room and raped me. He drugged me before hand because we were at a party and I was drinking. I couldn’t even put up a fight because I was so out of it. You want my heart? Well you have it already you asshole, I don’t know how you got it because I’ve had walls up since last year, but it’s yours. So just leave me alone and don’t talk to me again.”

Tears were streaming down my face again by the time I was done talking and everyone was silent. Bella and Zoe were shocked, their mouths open and eyes wide. The football team had left before I spoke, so it was Axel, Jason, Liam, Bella, Roxanne, Zoe, Cade, and I. Liam looked pissed off and Axel looked like he was ready to kill Cade and then comfort me. Roxanne looked disinterested, as per usual. Jason had a mix of emotions. He looked sad and extremely angry and slightly surprised at my confession. I turned away from them and ran away. I burst into a girl’s bathroom that was empty and ran into the stall at the end. I collapsed on the ground and sobbed. They ripped through my body and just as I was reaching for my bag, I heard the bathroom door open and Bella and Zoe knocked on the last stall.

“Addie? Open the door,” Zoe says to me softly.

I open the door and they come in. Zoe’s hugging me on one side and Bella’s cleaning me up. “Ads, you’re the strongest person I’ve ever met. What you did back there? That took pure courage. I can’t believe Cade did that to you, but I understand why you didn’t say anything to a lot of people. I’m not mad you didn’t tell me and you told Zoe. All I care about is how you’re doing because Jason is torn apart.” Bella says to me, looking me straight in the eye.

“I love him Bells, I can’t believe I love a guy who slept with a girl, even though it seemed like he liked me. I know he and Roxanne are dating, but it still hurts.” I say in a soft voice because I’m losing my voice.

“I know babe, but what you need to do is look strong and get through today. It’s Thursday and we have a 4 day weekend, so you have tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday to figure out what to do. Bells and I have invited ourselves over. We get homework done tonight and then pig out the rest of the weekend.” Zoe tells me, sadness and determination prominent in her eyes.

I nodded weakly and dragged myself off the floor and prepared myself to get through today.

(time skip cause nothing happens during school anyways haha)

When I got home, I immediately changed into my pajamas after showering. I sat on the couch and watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians, while I waited for Bella and Zoe to get here because they had to get their stuff form their house.

I was in the middle of the third episode when Axel walked in. “I just wanted to let you know the twins are staying at Grandma’s for the next couple of weeks because Gran misses them and she knows we’re busy with school.”

I just nodded my head and didn’t say a word. “Addie, come on please don’t shut me out. I didn’t do anything wrong.”

“I know you didn’t Axel, I just don’t know what I’m going to do about Jason.”

Sighing, Axel looks me dead in the eye and says, “Adelaide, if you really love him, which I think you do, you just have to let him make the next move. He has Roxanne he has to deal with and he just found out you were raped by someone he thought was his friend. AND he just found out that you love him. This is going to be a lot for him to process. I actually think he feels the same way because every time we talk about you, his eyes light up and it’s like his whole demeanor changes into one of happiness and awe. I think he loves you Adelaide, but we just have to wait for him to make the next move. I want you to know that I approve of you Jason ever being together.”

Wanting to change the subject, I asked Axel, “Hey, what’s going on with you and Bella?”

He smirked at me and said, “Nothing yet, I like her and she likes me. We’re not official, but I would like to be with her for real.”

I awe at that and he smiles at me and stands up. “Ads, give me your hand.” Grabbing my hand he pulls me up and hugs me. Because of our height difference, he can rest his chin on the top of my head. “Thank you Axel, for everything,” I whisper. “Always, Addie.” He whispers back and kisses my forehead softly. He lets go of me and walks back into his room. 

Before getting to his door, he says, “Addie, even if he doesn’t end up being with you, you will always have me here.”

--------------------------------------

So a little bit of Axel and Adelaide love at the end. What do you guys think about poor Adelaide’s outburst? I felt so bad writing that part because I feel like it was a lot to process. Hopefully Jason will make up his mind soon.
