Because of me

2✨

                                Chapter Two

  I have been walking around campus for quite some time now. Just watching the wind travel through the trees. It's so beautiful here and I couldn't be happier.

  Bailey and Elijah aren't bad people. I actually like them more that I thought I would. We talked while I unpacked my bag. They told me how they met in high school and started dating. It was Elijah who got a scholarship for LSJU, and Bailey followed him here.

  They asked where I moved from, and I told them the truth. Knoxville Tennessee. I was a little embarrassed because in my opinion Knoxville is boring, but they started talking about UT. I was okay with that because it took attention off of me.

  I wasn't asked any personal question, and if they did, I don't even know what'd I say. I don't really want to tell anyone my personal situation. They'd just pity me anyways.

  Before I left Bailey asked me if I wanted to go out with them this Friday. It's the last Friday before classes start Monday, so I agreed. I have nothing better to do anyways.

  Tomorrow is Thursday and I'm going to try to find a simple job that will line up with my classes. I have two classes on Monday, two on Tuesday, and one each on Wednesday and Thursday. I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday free, so I'll probably be working mostly on those days.

  As I keep walking, I notice the football stadium is to my right. I've never seen one up close and I'm curious how big they actually are.

  Dragging my feet over to the gate, I take in how tall the stadium is compared to me.

  Holy shit it's huge

  I know what you're thinking because same.

  When I finally make it to the gate, I notice it's slightly open, so I push it open and walk on in. Why would they keep it open like that? Anybody could have come in here.

   I'm not the one to talk considering I'm the one who is breaking in right now. Oh well.

  If I wasn't keeping my eyes trained to the lights and the big oval stadium, I would have noticed a very fine ass football player running the field.

  Stupid Liz

  It isn't until I hear a very loud cough of someone clearing their throat. And they are very close.

  I yelp loudly and hold my hand to my rapidly beating heart. Turning my head to the left, I see an absolutely gorgeous guy standing on the edge of the field. Staring directly at me.

  So, maybe I'm not the only one stupid enough to break into the stadium.

  Yeah, but he has a reason to be here you don't.

  Who cares.

  I take a minute to look over this guy in front of me. His dark brown hair is reflecting off the light from how wet it is from sweat. I can see his perfectly designed muscles since he isn't wearing a shirt.

  Ugh. Hot.

  He has tattoos, but not many. Just a few on both arms and on his chest. His face is so symmetrical it should be a sin to be that damn flawless.

  Who is this guy anyways?

  "What the fuck are you doing here," he grunts out harshly. It's now that I notice he don't look quite happy with me. His eyes are into slits and his lips are turned up into disgust.

  We both have very different first opinions of each other I see...

Damn you Liz for being too distracted by the hotness.

  "What the fuck are you doing here," I spit back just as harsh. I'm trying to look at him in disgust but it's so hard when he looks that good.

  Did I just mock him though?

  Real mature.

  I mentally face-palm myself for that one. I would be embarrassed but I'm not. I've been keeping my damn personality locked inside so long because of Jayden. This is me and I'm proud of it.

  Okay maybe not proud, but it's funny so who cares.

  I watch as his facial expression turns to confusion to utter rage in a split second.

  Oop- I think I poked the beast.

  "Watch who you curse at bitch," he growls, narrowing his eyes more if that's even possible. "Answer my fucking question."

  He growled. I didn't think that was an actual thing. I've read it in books but didn't think it sounded so hot. I usually imagine a dog growling or some shit, but no it's hot as hell.

  I accidently let out a little laugh at my thoughts and watch as he gets even more furious at me. Maybe he thinks I'm laughing at him.

  "The gate was open," I said smiling at him. I walk over to him and realize that he is so much hotter up close holy shit. His eyes are swirling with different shades of green. How beautiful. "What about you?"

   He was a little taken back that I approached him, and it piqued my curiosity at why. Sure, he looks intimidating, but I've been through the worst, so he can't scare me.

  "The hell do you mean why," he said as he waved his arm around his sweaty body and the field behind him. "You need to leave. Now."

  I now feel completely stupid asking why he was here, and my face his definitely turning pink. How stupid can I be? I literally knew why he was here. Idiot.

  Yeah, I'm just going to go. He told me to leave anyways.

  "Okay, bye," I said and gave him a smile with a small wave before turning around and headed back to the gate. I didn't bother giving him a second glance even though the horny bitch in me was screaming to do it.

  I wonder who he was. Damn I should have asked his name, but I don't think he would have given it to me. He seems like an asshole, but I don't care. It's not like I'll see him again.

As I make my way towards my dorm, I can't help but be proud of myself. I'm glad I can come out of something like that and be unaffected. Some days I thought I'd be traumatized forever, but now I'm the happiest I've ever been.

  I think it's really a mindset thing. Knowing I was going to be able to get away helped a lot. The hardest days were when Jayden would lock me in his room for days. It was mainly because I didn't do something he wanted, or I pissed him off in some way.

  It was one of the many things that he did, and somethings are harder to speak about than others.

Being in a forced relationship with someone you hate for a year is something you would deem traumatizing.

So, why the hell am I fine?

Tsk tsk tsk.

I'm losing motivation to write guys. HELP😭
