Troubled Love

Chapter 4

Chapter 4- Big Mistakes
Lexi's POV:
---
I was disgusted on how he showed no emotion whatsoever, it was like he didn't care that he was making out with a girl much younger than him that he probably didn't even know.

I know I shouldn't care about what he does because it doesn't concern me but I hated feeling jealous and I blame him for that.

I wasn't going to let fucking Matthew ruin my day, he was just a boy and I had more important things to worry about, it was my first day of school and I had a busy day. First I had to report to home room with Mr. Simmons, he was in room 72.

I felt someone tap my shoulder, "Hi! I'm Victoria, I am the Student Body President. Your the new student, and your name is?" "Hello Victoria I'm Lexi." "it's nice to meet you Lexi. So I saw you looking at Matthew outside. What was that about?" "Nothing he's just my new neighbor." "Oh you moved into the blue house next to him?" "Yeah why was there someone that used to live there?" "Yes she was my best friend, we did everything together since the 1st grade because our parents grew up together, but then she became obsessed with Matt and started to get involved with bad people. Her name was Amanda."

I had remembered the things written on my closet A + M and Matthew Espinosa written across it. It must have been her.

"Oh I'm sorry to here that. Did she move away?" "No, she committed suicide last year. She had issues and was dealing with loss and depression. She was bullied for being obsessive with Matt so she started taking drugs. She over dosed twice hoping that it would kill her but she survived. She finally took pills and ended it."

"I'm so sorry to here that." "It's okay, she made it clear that she never wanted me in her life and that she hated me. I have gotten over it." "That must have been terrible."

"Okay so this is the lunch room" she said changing the subject.

"So that girl that Matthew was kissing this morning, are they a thing?" "Haha no, it's just another of his many 'toys'." "What do you mean by 'toys'?" "I mean Matthew is bad news, and he uses tons of girls for sex. I wish someone would give him a taste of his own medicine."

"Yeah me-" I got cut off by yelling coming from the hall. I turned to see Matthew attacking some other guy. The boy looked tall and younger but I couldn't fully see his face. "Hang on" I said trying to get a closer look at the boy he was punching.

"Shawn? Omg Shawn! MATTHEW STOP IT!!" "STOP" I cried. Matthew turned to see me still pinning Shawn to the locker. "Please Matthew let him go." Matt stared at me for a second then let him go. "Thank you I said with tears streaming down my eyes."

He said nothing, he turned away and walked off as is he hadn't done anything. He walked away as if he had no care in the world. "Omg Shawn are you okay?" "Yeah I'm fine." "No! Your not fine what was that about? Why was Matthew punching you?"

"It's nothing I'm fine." Shawn said whipping some of the blood off of his face." "Shawn we can't be doing this. I know this is hard for you, but we moved here to get a new start. It seems like we are in Cali again. You gotta stop Shawn before you get seriously hurt." "Whatever."

"Are you okay goes it hurt?" I placed my hand on the cut he got on his nose. He winced in pain. "We need to go to the doctors, your nose looks broken." "No I'm fine I'll be okay." "Damn it Shawn no you won't! Stop pretending like everything is okay, it isn't. You aren't okay, you need help."

"Leave me alone!!" He said loosing control and pushing me into a locker. "Shawn." I called after him. He didn't turn his head, and he didn't respond he just walked down the hall and out the door. There was nothing else for me to do but cry.
