Forbidden Love (Tristan Evans Fanfic)

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter 19 - (READ AN AT THE END)

My head was a crumpled mess as I drearily walked into school the next day, my bag heavy on my shoulder and my eyes droopy due to my lack of sleep.

I couldn't get him out of my head all night - his kiss and his touch, but also the thought of what would happen to us in the future.

Did Tristan actually want us to be together? Or was he just intent on stringing me along and making me fall for him completely?

But I'd already done that hadn't I?

I'd already allowed myself to become completely attached to him.

I was so stupid.

I rested my head against my locker in pure exhaustion and jumped slightly when I heard a slight chuckle from beside me.

"Rough night?" I looked up, suddenly smiling at the sight of Ethan not having seen him all day yesterday.

"You have absolutely no idea." I chuckled with him and his grin broadened, his eyes dancing with amusement.

"Yeah well has anyone ever told you that I'm a great listener?" I smiled softly as he wrapped his skinny arm around my shoulder and led me to the nearest classroom.

I confessed everything to Ethan, not even feeling slightly embarrassed that we didn't even know each other that well.

I'd felt an instant connection with him the first day we'd met an could tell he was a friend for life and that anything I told him would stay securely between only ourselves.

His eyes were blank as I told him the basics of what was going on and wondered if his reaction would be similar to how Grace had been.

"So how long has it been you moving here and already you have one of the hottest guys in school getting all flustered over you." His eyes were wide and serious and I couldn't help but giggle at his words, them easily stirring a warm feeling throughout my body.

Was Tristan really acting that way?

"Its just all so confusing" I rubbed my hand roughly down my cheek, sighing for what felt like the thousandth time that day, "I don't know what he wants. Hell I don't even know what I want anymore. Is this seriously all he's going to be like? Distant one minute and then obsessed the other? Because
I'm seriously not so sure if I can handle that." I sagged my head in sadness and mumbled something incoherent when the bell rang for registration, reminding me I still had a full day of school ahead of me.

"Come on babe, you can do this, just forget about him for this one day and just don't let it get you down" He picked my bag up for me and flung it over his shoulder, "The day will be done before you know it."

I followed him out of the empty computer based classroom and shuddered at the ominous looks being thrown our way.

"It's funny - people think we've just had morning sex in that room, yet I bet they'd have the shock of their lives if they knew what we'd actually been talking about." He spoke seriously but I knew he wasn't phased by the onlookers.

I turned suddenly when I felt a gaze piercing the back of my head and my heart lurched at the sight of Tristan leaning languidly against the opposite wall, his eyes serious and slightly angry for reasons I didn't know.

His bag was resting against his leg and the guy with the lip piercing was stood next to him, his gaze looking from Tristan and back to me in slight confusion.

I looked back at the beautiful blue eyes I'd become so comfortable with and was startled to find him glaring at Ethan - his anger obviously towards my new tall friend beside me.
