I get jealous because
I am afraid that someone
Is going to make you
happier than I do

Thea's POV

"Your face is all done, now your knuckles" i said diverting my gaze

"We don't have a bandaid here" i tried searching the first aid box "I have it in my bag i guess"

"There's no need"

"Didn't ask. Got it"

"Why are you carrying bandait anyways?"

"I carry it for Ryan well i carried it for Ryan, he always used to hurt himself somehow"

"You miss him don't you?" I saw his jaw clench, i guess because i applied some ointments and bandaged his hand.

"Can we not talk about it?" I seriously didn't want to talk about it. I always end up feeling guilty when I think about it even though i know i didn't cheat

"That means you do"

"No I don't. It's just it's....why do you care anyways?"

"Because it involves you"

I finally looked up at him packing everything, I registered how close we were. He looked at me with this unknown hope.

My gaze was fixed on his lips. I wanted to kiss him and specially after what he did for me today he really cared

"My manager said you can't stay here if you don't order anything" i jolted back realising what I was about to do

I am such a bad friend
I am ashamed of myself

"I don't want to eat anything. Do you?"

"Two chicken sandwich and one glass of milk and yes you are eating" i ordered ignoring Alec

"I'll drop you home and then go home" i said sitting down opposite to him

"I can't go home like this. They will ask a lot of questions"

"Wherever you go I'll come with you"

"No please go home"

"Why? Please don't tell me you are planning to have a one night stand today"

"That's how low you think of me"

Shit

Our food came just in time.

I knew I hurt his feelings so I scooted towards him and kept my hand on his

"I am sorry"

"It's ok"

"No I know you are mad. I didn't mean it that way"

"Yeah I know" he removed his hand

"You wanted to talk about Ryan right? I will answer you but please don't be mad at me"

"You don't have to"

"I will. No I don't miss Ryan but I do feel guilty"

"Why?"

"His trust issues were not the only reason we broke up, his sister called me a cheater and convinced me i was bad for him. I know i didn't cheat on him but I always have this weird feeling thinking about it"

"Claire...fuck him and his sister, i didn't like him anyways"

"Why?"

"Plays in the football team, muscular, rich af , girls going Gaga over him"
