CLAY AND I STOOD IN my bedroom staring at each other. me on the verge of tears and him super angry. this isn't the first time we had gotten into a fight and it wouldn't be the last. i just hated it.
taylor and george left about an hour ago an clay and i sat in an awkward tension for 45 minutes, on our phones, across the room from each other.
i then brought up that i heard what he said and he got pissed at me for no reason. it literally made zero sense to me. i was exhausted and wanted to just lay down with clay and go to bed. but that wasn't happening anytime soon
"hazel, for the last time, i'm pissed off because you shared exactly how i felt with the whole world. i don't need people knowing that shit"
"no one besides our close friends and my mom know it's about you. they don't even know it's written in your pov" i said back trying not to break
"I DON'T CARE!" he yelled making a tear fall down my face.
"don't y-yell at me" i studdered as i looked down and wiped the tear away
we always fought about stupid shit, then more got brought into it, then the fights got worse, then everything got worse.
"hazel, this is reality. if we are going to fight prepare to be yelled at" he said more calmly but cracking his knuckles
"ok, i'm sorry" was all i could say. worst birthday ever.
"oh lord. here you go with the 'i'm sorry' shit. no one cares" he said making more tears slip away from my eyes. clay had really bad anger issues that i was used to but i forgot all about
"well sorry that i care and don't want to fight anymore" i said looking up at him and into his eyes.
"whatever i'm going home" he said grabbing his keys.
"clay no. please stay" i pleaded. as much as he was hurting me right now, i needed him.
"i think it's best if i just leave" he said.
"ok, thanks for a great birthday" i scolded while turning away.
i heard him sigh and not move as i got into bed facing away from him. i heard rustling from behind me then clay's keys clank on my bedside table. the bed dipped next to me and a arm wrapped around me.
"i love you. i'm sorry, i guess i just wasn't expecting it to be so accurate" he whispered in my ear.
"i love you too" was all i said before turning around and laying my head in his neck. i kissed his neck and i could tell he was smiling
"never gave you your birthday gift now did i?" he questioned as he moved my head into viewing distance
"nope" i spoke
