It Could Still Be Love

Chapter 7:So This Is War

Casey pov

No one was here, so I just stayed there crying for a minute while cars drove by me and some drunk people stumbled out of the house behind me

Come on Casey pull yourself together you don't rely on other people

I pulled myself up sniffling a little bit and quietly walked home it didn't take long before I was at my doorstep looking for my keys but couldn't find anything in my pockets

"Fuck,so I can't have just one goddamn good thing today huh" I calmed myself down before knocking on the door and someone answering

They leaned against the door frame "I'm guessing the whole workout thing didn't work this time ... did it?" Toad asked tilting their head to the side, I looked up crying and then finally got serious "Woah hey, what happened" They held my shoulders and looked into my eyes

"Lena hates me and Marky's a prick," I said looking back down my tears starting to drip on the wood below. I suddenly got pulled into a hug and started crying harder "It's my fault too if I just didn't-" I thought I don't want my parents knowing about this just yet "... I don't feel like talking about it anymore"

"That's ok you don't have to" Short came up behind Toad and quietly asked what happened and why do I smell like alcohol and drugs I pushed away

"I'm going to sleep to forget all this, good night" I walked up the stairs tuning out what they said I closed my door and flopped on my bed looking at the unmoving ceiling fan above me I just stared blankly at it not moving then heard a song from my pocket

Oh I actually remembered my phone hmm

The caller again said Mark a key <3 ... He really left me then called me after he new I got home that's just a jerk move after ditching me

...

...

...

But I pick up anyways because I needed someone to talk

"Marky." I said surprisingly flatly for crying a minute ago

"...Casey I wanted to say sorry for a lot of things tonight" Marky said now they sounded like they were crying 

"Go on." I said super flat again

"I'm ... I'm sorry for kissing you, you were being nice and it's completely on me for ditching you with Lena and kissing you without consent first so I wanted to give you an honest apology about everything from today" Marky finished and I didn't think about it I was just done with everyone today so I talked without thinking

"Marky you seriously think an apology will fix all this my girlfriend hates me because of you so no this isn't going to fix shit Marky maybe just be a better friend" I said then immediately hung up

I didn't think about what I said before, I simply sat up changed didn't bother to do anything else then slept

Next morning

Lena Pov 

I woke up with a huge ass headache

Oh great and most of last night is fuzzy as fuck just amazing

I get out of bed that I don't even remember getting in I'm still in my clothes from yesterday so I just Got some random clothes on and got some aspirin then didn't bother to check with my parents or grab my unfinished homework on the way out the door.

I stopped at my bus stop and got out a s'mores pop tart and took a bite of both at once because I'm a menace. The bus stops and I get on along with a couple other people because I'm the last stop most of the seats are already filled so I walked near the middle and sat next to Bener
