Chapter 41
I had somehow been persuaded by Kyle to go to his house. We were under the covers in his bedroom, with his laptop hooked up to the TV through which we were watching Inception. Once the film had finished we stayed under the covers. We weren’t exactly snuggled up but we were lying close enough to feel each other’s body heat, and for him to place his arm around me.
“So…” he said, trying to break the ice
“Yeah?”
“What are we doing?” he asked cautiously, I could tell he was trying not to piss me off
“I don’t know. What do you mean?” I asked, sighing
“I mean that I love you, and all I want is for us to be together. I just want us to be happy for once-“
“Stop treating me like shit then!” I exploded, cutting him off
I moved away from him, towards the other end of the bed, where I sat holding my head in my hands.
“How many more times do you want me to apologise? How do you want me to prove to you that I’m sorry?” he asked. He didn’t move towards me like I had anticipated he would; he was probably trying to make sure I didn’t hit him
“What exactly is it that you’re apologising for?” I said, looking up at him
“Everything.”
“So you’re telling me that you’re apologising for the following: sleeping with Camilla and then lying about the amount of times you slept with her; not telling me that you had slept with Chelsea; telling everyone that I had an abortion and making it out like I did it alone; and finally, believing Trey’s lies and making everyone think I'm some kind of slut? Is that what you’re apologising for, yeah?”
“Yes…” he hesitated
“After listing all those things, I think to myself ‘why am I even talking to this fool?’ I make such an idiot of myself for you”
Once again, the tears had begun falling down my face. I squeezed my eyes shut tight, thinking of happier times.
He came and sat next to me and put his arm around me. He lay back on the bed and I placed my head on his chest; my tears soaking his top.
The door suddenly burst open and Kellie walked in
“Ooh sorry!” she didn’t sound sorry at all “I’ve been calling you; we’re supposed to be going out with Jeremiah, remember?”
I moved away from Kyle and wiped my face. I sat there in silence whilst they had their conversation
“Can we go another day? I need to do something…” he said; the way he spoke it was so obvious that he was talking about me
“So what, pussy is more important than your cousin?” she said
“Who said he’s getting pussy, Kellie? Fuck off!” I butted in, before walking out of the room and going into the bathroom
