Stolen Goon // Dean Portman // Book 2

Confused

I decided to just sit with Varsity at lunch. I didn't want to deal with Dean, but damn did he look fucked up.

He had a black eye, a cut lip and bruises on his cheek. Fulton kinda looked bad too, but just had a black eye. I smiled mentally thanking Fulton.

"So not your boyfriend anymore, huh?" Rick asked me.

"Nope. He cheated on me." I said looking down to my plate.

"Man he was so stupid for that, your literally gorgeous. He doesn't know what he let go." Jude said.

I smiled to myself, "Thanks Jude."

"What are we talking about?" Adam asked sitting down.

"How Harley's gorgeous and how Dean is a dumbass." Scooter said.

"Both are very true." Adam said. His words made my cheeks burn. But why didn't Jude's. Adam is my friend, like Jude.

"Har, you okay?" Adam asked me.

"Fine. I just gotta get to my next class." I told him getting my things and walking out.

"Class doesn't start for another twenty minutes!" Adam yelled to me. I ignored him and kept walking.

I went to a empty classroom and started to cry. "Why is this happening. I'm so confused!" I said to no one in particular. I put my head in my hands and heard the door open. I looked up and saw Kenny and Dwayne. Two people I haven't talked to in a week or so.

"Hi." I sniffed.

"Hey there little lady." Dwayne said, with his arm around Kenny. I'm so glad they're still together.

"Um, how are you holding up?" Kenny asked me.

"I could be better." They nodded at the words.

"I'm sorry. Dean doesn't know what he lost. If I wasn't gay I'd probably go for you." Dwane said, which made me laugh.

"Dwayne you really know how to make someone laugh." I smiled at the two of them, "Has he- um.. Has he said anything about me."

"He tried to, but Fulton's been shutting him down real quick." Kenny said.

"He's really protective over you, and Julie."

"He's like the big brother I've never had." I said wiping my tears away. "He was the one that was calming me down yesterday, at least before he beat up Dean."

They nodded and Dwayne gave me a smile. "We're gonna get back to lunch, if that's okay with you."

"Yeah, go right ahead." I told them.

3rd person-

Dwayne and Kenny walked out and saw Adam frantically looking around the school. "Oh! Have you two seen Harley by any chance. She ran out of the cafete-"

"In there, lover boy." Kenny said pointing to the classroom that him and Dwayne just walked out of.

"Hey and be slow with her. Her boyfriend just cheated on her." Dwayne said.

"Yeah, okay, whatever you guys." Adam said with a smile, walking to the classroom.

Harley's POV-

I heard the door open and looked up to see Adam.

"Hey." He breathed.

"Hi." I said sniffling. He sat next to me. "This fucking sucks." I said wiping my eyes.

"I know. I wish I could do something." He sighed.

"You are being there for me. Thanks by the way." I smiled nudging his shoulder.

"Yeah. Anything for you Har." He said smiling at me. I suddenly felt the mood shift. My smile dropped, I felt a pang in my stomach.

"Uhm I gotta go." I said grabbing my bag.

"Wait Har! Harley!" He yelled at me as I walked out.

I walked back to the cafeteria and went up to the ducks table. I went up to Julie and Connie. "We gotta talk, now." I said briefly. Making a quick eye contact with Dean, but quickly dropping it.

"Harls, class is in seven minutes." Connie said.

"I know, but just please." I begged them. They both looked at each other then back at me.

"Fine. But if my parents find out that I skipped, it's on you." Julie said.

"Yeah, fine." I said as we all walked out.

•••

"So what's wrong?" Connie asked.

"Well um, ya'know how me and Adam have gotten a little close since we made varsity?" They both nodded. "Well during lunch I went to an empty classroom and just cried because of fucking Dean. And first Kenny and Dwayne walked in and they were really sweet but then like Adam came in after, and he was trying to comfort me, but then he just looked at me in the eyes and he was like 'I'd do anything for you.' And all this bullshit! And I don't know like it shifted like the way we talk to each other just shifted and I felt like this pain in my stomach like I was doing something wrong. And I also felt it at lunch because he called me like gorgeous. Well, I guess he didn't but he agreed with the other guys when they were calling me gorgeous and I didn't feel anything with them, but I just felt something with him. But Dean just cheated on me and it feels just.. wrong! And fuck I just don't know what to do!" I rambled out, tears going down my face.

They both looked at me with sympathy, a look I've hate most recently. "Don't give me that fucking look." I said wiping my tears.

"Harley." Julie whispered, walking up to me and giving me a hug. I melted into the grasp, while I made eye contact with Connie. She looked sorry for me.

"I told you to stop giving me that look, Cons." I smiled a bit, letting go of Julie.

"So what can we do to make you happy?" Julie asked.

"Get high." I shrugged.

"Harley Ruby!" Connie said amused.

"What?"

"You've gotten high?" Asked Julie.

"Yeah, some of my friends do it, ya'know the ones back home. It really does help when your sad." I nodded at them.

"Okay, well who has the stuff?" Asked Julie.

"Guy probably does." I said.

"Guy? My boyfriend? High? No way." Connie said.

"We can at least ask." I shrugged.

"If he doesn't have any, you owe me twenty." Connie said.

"And if he does you owe me twenty." I smirked at her.

"Fine." She rolled her eyes.
