Deleterious

chapter 14

Once i walk out of the bathroom and get a few lockers down, i hear the bathroom door open. But i don't look behind me. Those two disgust me enough. Someone grabs my waist and pulls me around, to look at them.

"What the fuck was that Indigo?" Rue huffs. "You got Jules in their crying like crazy!"
"What does that have to do with me?"
"Are you seriously defending Nate Jacobs dad right now?"
"I never said that Nates dad is right for his actions but he didn't know she was underage and i'm sure if he did, he wouldn't have touched her."

The bathroom door slowly opens and i look behind Rue to see Jules covered in tears. Maybe i was being too harsh on a sensitive topic. Maybe i wasn't.

"Go support her, because i sure won't." I say before leaving again. I walk out the big school doors to see Nate still in his truck. I smile like an idiot at the thought that Nate waited for me. I ran over to his truck and quickly climbed in.

"Took you forever, what happened?" He says as he pulls off the lot.
"Nothing...just...Jules lied." I sighed.
"What do you mean she lied?"
"I mean, when she...you know...your dad...she lied about her age."
"What?"
"Your dad asked her age, she lied."

Nate doesn't respond. I look at him, and clearly see his taking what i just told him in. He doesn't say anything the whole ride to my house. He parks across the street land turns the car off as he looks at me.

"I'll see you tomorrow." He says.
"You don't want to talk?"
"Talk about what?"
"What we found out."
"No i don't, i'll see you tomorrow?" Nate says harshly. I just got him cleared for what he did and his still acting like a dick.

"What is your problem?"
"Jesus fucking christ." He whispers.
"Tell me."
"Don't worry about it."
"Nate..."
"Just get the fuck out of my fucking truck already damn!" He shouts and a flinch out of fear.

He notices because his once angry face turns into a instant regret.
"Indigo..." He says softly. I open the door and quickly jump out and ran up the drive way. I don't want to see nor hear him any longer than i have to. I got inside the house, closing and locking the door behind me. The sound of Nates truck pulls off with a loud roar.

"Honey, what's wrong?" My mom calls out causing my dad and sister to turn their heads. "Nothing...if Nate knocks tell him not to come in."
"Did something happen?" My dads voice booms.
"No, just don't want to see him right now. You know, teenager stuff or whatever." I give an awkward smile before heading up to my room. I closed the door behind me and let out a breath i didn't know i was holding.

I pull out my phone to at least call someone but the only two people i know kind of hate me. Mckay's name pop up on my screen and my stomach began to hurt. I haven't heard about Mckay for a while so i slide up on his name.

*Hey, it's Indigo* I type and a lay down on the bed. Within minutes my phone goes off.
*Whats up?* Such a simple yet complicated text to answer.
*Nothing, we just don't talk much* i reply and stare at the screen. Mckay instantly reads my messages and the three bubbles soon pop up.

*Odd way of saying we never talk*
*Maybe we should change that* I reply.
*Hang out? My parents suck*
*Sure!*

I gave him my address and placed my phone on the charger. Maybe hanging out with Mckay is a good thing. Surrounding myself with Nate, Rue and Jules has really been suffocating. How can three humans suffocate a person so much?

I look at my window to see Mckay pulling up. I grabbed my phone and rushed downstairs, not wanting my parents to meet Mckay.
