On Again, Off Again (A Hamliza Fanfiction)

8: Finding Someone New

Eliza POV:

I'm trying my best to move on from Alex. He's already dating John. Peggy is dating Laf and Aneglica is dating Herc. I'm left alone...again.

I've only had 3 break downs this week over him... I guess that's an improvement. It just hurts to that me moved on so fast. He seems so happy with John.

Did he ever really love me?

I guess John is better than me.

No one actually loved me.

It's all in my head.

All my thoughts raced through my head until I crashed back to reality... literally.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" I heard a string male voice say from in front of me. I sat up a bit and rubbed my head. He helped me up and smiles at me with a very, very charming smile that made me blush red immediately. I became shy and frowned.

"You don't have to be sorry... I've already had a terrible week. This is nothing." I mumbled sadly.

He looked at me with sympathy but I could tell that there was a hint of mischief in his eyes.

"Do you want to grab some coffee? We can discuss your terrible week. I might be able to help you?" He says with a smirk on his face.

"Tell me your name." I said, looking up at him. I recognized him but I couldn't remember where I knew him from.

"Liam. Liam Grant." He said and extended his arm for a handshake.

I froze.

"Aren't you dating Mia Laurens? My best friend!?" I screamed at him.

He sighed. "I just want to have a little fun without her." He says like it's obvious.

I look at him, absolutely disgusted. "You will not cheat on my best friend with ME!" I scold him. "Also, you have to stay with her or pay child support because she's pregnant." I said without thinking. Then realized what I said.

"I should go..." I mumbled and then left.

Not that far from where Liam and I were walking, I saw John. Probably the last person I should want to talk to on this planet.

Oh gosh I hope he didn't hear our conversation... I think to myself.

He started walking towards me. I really didn't want to talk to the guy who stole my boyfriend. Especially now.

"Liz!!" He calls as he gets closer.

I rolled my eyes. "You do not get to call me 'Liz'." I spat coldly.

He nodded and took a small step back. "Is Mia pregnant-?" He asked quietly.

I knee there was no getting out of this so I nodded slightly.

He looked like he was about to explode. He pulled out his phone and called.. Alex. Of course.

I rolled my eyes again and left. Quicker this time so I wouldn't be sucked into more conversations.

I ran to my favorite classroom. It took a few minutes but I finally made it to the music room to think about what happened.

I bumped into Liam, my best friends boyfriend.

He acted nice until I realized who he was, then he was the evil, twisted, toxic man we all know him to be.

Then I accidentally told him that his girlfriend is pregnant.

Then her brother heard.

She told me not to tell anyone and I broke her trust.

I'm a terrible person.

I sat down against the wall and started crying. I don't know why I started and I don't know why I couldn't stop.

I felt someone hug me. I assumed it was either Mia or Peggy so I just let them. Instead of looking up and checking first, I just started talking.

"Why does everything gave to be so hard for me!?" I sobbed into my knees, leaning into the person.

Instead of Mia or Peggy's voice responding immediately as always, I heard a deeper male voice. A voice I knew way too well.

"I'm so sorry..." Alex said and hugged me tighter.

I looked up at him, more tears brimming my eyes. "Why are you here...?" I whisper.

He looks at me sadly then his pocket.

"You left your locker at my place.." he says and pulls a beautiful necklace out of his pocket.

I frown. "That's not mine-" "I made it for you... before we broke up.. " he says, cutting me off.

I stare at him for a second before snapping. "You mean before you cheated on me after telling me I'm your one and only?!" I start crying again.

No one loves me.. I think.

He hugs me and kisses my head like he used to. I lean into his touch, forgetting we aren't together anymore.

"I missed this..." I mumble to him.

Of course, the door just had to open and in walked no other than John Laurens himself.

"Seriously Lex!?" He says, looking more upset than when I told him Mia was pregnant.

"John I-" Alex starts but I cut him off by getting up. I walk over to John and kiss him on the lips.

I pulled away first and saw his shocked expression. I looked at Alex and saw his hurt one.

"You don't like it when we do what you did to us, huh?" I ask him, laughing slightly.

He turned red and looked down, reflecting on everything he's done.

I turned back to John who was smiling like an idiot.

He put his hand on my waist and kissed me again. I slung my arms over his shoulders and kissed back.

Alex got up and left.

And that's how John and I got together at the end of Senior Year.

I can't wait for summer.
