I really want you to hate me

Chapter 18

Daniella

"So what's your plan?" We were walking around the school when Max jumped next to us.

"What do you mean?" I didn't look at him, but I could see from the corner of my eye that he wrapped his hand around Hayley. Is he the guy Hayley was worrying about?

"About the, Rebekah finding out that you slept with Hayley, situation?" I didn't tell him what happened so I looked with a raised eyebrow at Hayley.

"Sorry." She apologized., but I just rolled my eyes.

"So?"

"I don't wanna do anything about it." I avoided her all day. She wasn't down for breakfast but she came when we had group things to do. She walked in the first line and I walked in the back with my friends. I was afraid that if I looked at her I would see the hurt in her eyes. No. I was afraid that if I looked into her eyes I wouldn't see anything. That she wouldn't care. That she wouldn't care about me anymore. God, I would hate that. So I acted like I didn't give a fuck about her.

"What? Why?"

"Would it be better if I would run to her, saying how sorry I'm?" I asked back.

"Well it definitely would be better than nothing."

"How come that you two became such good relationship experts?"

"So now you two have a relationship?" Hayley smirked at me.

"N-no. I didn't say that." I shook my head. I couldn't miss the moment when Bekah walked past us. I followed with my gaze as she left the building. I noticed that she was alone, Addison was still on the front of the line. "Forgive me." I looked at May and Hayley and awkwardly ran to Addison.

"I'm not talking to you." She said before I could say anything. Fair.

"Where is she going?" I asked anyway.

"I'm not talking to you." She repeated.

"Alright. I fucked up. I'm sorry. I really do."

"Do you? Do you really?" She stopped walking, and students walked past us.

"I do." I said. I really did, there was no mistake in that. "Where is she going?"

"Don't go after her. Just... Just leave her alone for god's sake."

"Why is she going back?"

"She won't stop asking you." Max stopped next to us with Hayley next to him, his hands not around her anymore.

"God, you are so annoying. She is- She has painful period cramps ok? More painful than regular cramps. It goes away in a day, but it is bad now. So she went back to lay down and relax a bit."

I could say that I hesitated, but that wouldn't be the exact truth. I turned around, leaving all of them behind.

"Leave her alone, Daniella!"

"Try to stop me." I said without turning back. She let me go,

I stopped outside her room and for the first time today, I hesitated. I slowly hit the wood with my knuckles. There was no answer. I did it again a bit harder.

"Yes?" I heard her voice faintly.

"Can I come in?" I asked her.

"Definitely not."

"Please." My voice came out as begging.

"Come in."

She was laying on her side, her legs pulled up to her chest. SHe looked like a shrimp.
