Bedtime stories

Part 11- What happened?

When class finally ended I rushed to grab my bag and went out to the front of the school. Just as he promised Grant was waiting there is his SUV. I got in the car and Grant pulled away silently. We drove for only a minute in silence.

"So are you going to tell me what Evan meant when he said you were a lying bitch" the words sounds sour coming out of his mouth.

"I will but you have to promise me you won't get mad" I said innocently hopping to relax Grant

"Promises are made to be broken" when he says that my heart sinks as I think of the words he said only a few hours before "I promise I will see you again" was he just saying that to ease my nerves? Why would he say that and then now say something like that. I didn't know what to think about Grant I thought he liked me but what he is saying now makes it seem different.

"Are you going to tell me or should I just drop you off at home. I look up and realize we are on my street almost at my house.

"Can we go to your hotel room or something?" I don't want to go to my house I know my mom will be home and I don't want her to be eves dropping.

"Yea we will go to the bus nobody will be on there. But you still have to tell me what you did" he sound more nervous than mad now and I have a good feeling that I am just as nervous than he is. I don't want my past to scare Grant away. It was over a year ago and I had changed since then. When we got on the bus I sat on the couch beside Grant and immediately felt sick.

"Okay so just tell me. I won't get mad..." He says like he is unsure of his words but they sort of sooth me and I start talking.

"Okay so I dated Evan for only 3 months like over a year ago. This was right after..." I stopped myself realizing Grant didn't know what happened with my father yet and I was definitely not telling him about that yet.

"Right after my Dog died" I lie to him

"Anyway Evan comforted me and made me feel like everything was okay but one night I went to a party with my friends in all of the intentions of just having a fun girls night. But there was people drinking there and my friends were all drinking... And welll... So was I..." I try to continue but Grant cuts me off.

"You were drinking you were drunk you would have only been 14 are you crazy" he doesn't look angry just sad. Disappointed maybe. But he needs to realize that was in my past.

"Grant that was a year ago I have change! Now will you let me finish?" He nods and I continue to speak my voice a little shaky as I go.

"Okay so I went to this party and I was drunk and this guy there was also drunk and we made out at the party." I look at Grant trying to find a hint of how he is feeling but his face is completely neutral. So I keep talking.

"So I couldn't keep it a secret so I told Evan he got so mad at me and called me all these horrible name and then broke up with me. It took me a while to get over him but once I finally did he started asking for me back acting like we were dating again. When I rejected him he got mad and now he is just a perverted jerk when he is around me" I stop looking at Grant waiting for an answer.

"Do you want me to drive you home now? Your mum is probably wondering where you are." His face stays completely neutral. I feel myself getting anger.

"I just told you all this because you basically forced me to and now you are just going to pretend like nothing happened" I raise my voice a bit and look at Grant face searching for answers.

"I just need some time to think. I will call you later tonight. I will drive you home now." His voice sounds so demanding I don't like feeling like I am being bossed around but I don't say anything and I let Grant drive me home.

When we get to my house we don't say anything I just get out and go inside as Grant drives away. I grab my phone just waiting for his call. I feel pathetic but I can't help it.
