What We Used To Have

Chapter 10

(Sophomore Year)

Abbys Pov

I ran out the classroom tears running down my face. I ran into the bathroom and into a stall locking it. "Oh, come on Bloom get over it we knew this was coming to an end". Logans words echoed in my head.

"What did I do" I whispered to my self

I couldnt stop crying. It felt like my world was closing and couldnt breathe. I lost my person, I lost my best friend, and worst of all I lost the only boy I have ever loved.

I stayed in the bathroom for what felt like forever. As I was getting up, I heard a ding come from my phone.

"Cant wait to see you In Trig" It was from Eli

I smiled. I met Elijah last year in my English class. We had to work on an essay together and we became instant friends. Eli can always make me laugh when Im feeling down, just like Logan does. At the memory of Logan, the tears start to fall again.

I finally walked down with a pit in my stomach and puffy eyes. I walked in class seeing Eli sitting in a seat in the back. His bag was on the seat next to him. I knew he was saving the seat for me. I made my way to the a sat down.

"Hey you, okay? Whats wrong why are you crying" he sounded concerned

"Nothing Im fine"

"Abby whats wrong" he asked sterner this time

"I dont want to talk about right now" I whispered

"For now, but later were talking"I nodded

The teacher walked and started writing on the bored. Before she could start the door opened. Logan walked.

"Welcome please take a seat" the teacher smiled

Logan looked around the class. The only empty seat was the one in front of mine. As Logan took the seat. I sucked in a breath.

Elijah gave me a look and looked to Logan trying to figure out what was wrong.

"Okay class before we start, Im handing out an attendance sheet pass it around and sign your names.". she said handing the paper to students in the front.

When the paper finally reached Logan, he signed his name and threw the paper at me. Tears welled in my eyes as the paper hit me in the face.

"Hey man what the hell" Eli whispered

"What?" Logan glared

"Could have given it to her nicely"

"Why dont you mind your business"

Before Eli could speak, I jumped in

"Its okay E" I chocked out a sob

"Omg your still crying" Logan laughed

"No" I whispered

"What crawled up your ass man why are being so mean to her, thats your best friend" Eli spat

"Was my best friend she was" Logan sneered

Eli was speechless.

I shot out of my desk.

"Is everything okay Abby" the teacher looked worried

"No can I go to the bathroom" I asked

"Of course, sweety" she looked at me with sadness

Before I could walk out, she spoke

"Eli why dont you go with Abby and make sure shes okay"

"Of course," Eli got up and grabbed our bags

We walked out of the classroom and walked outside to the tree that was in the back of the school.

"You have five seconds to tell me – "

Before he could finish his sentence, I wrapped my arms around his waist and start sobbing

"He was so awful to me E" I cried

"Who?"

"Logan"

"What the hell did he do" Eli was angry

I told Eli everything. He sat down with me under the tree and listened.

"Hey listen to dont let him make you cry its not worth it" he lifted his thumb to my face wiping away tears

"But I love him" I cried

"I know but its going to be okay I promise"

"How do you know"

"I just do"

I just looked at him

"I know how you feel Abb" he said

"How?"

"I had the same thing happen to me with my best friend from elementary school to middle school"

"What happened"

"Well, when he found out I was gay last year he decided I was no good"

I felt so bad for Eli

"How did you get over it?"

"I didnt I thought my life was over"

"Then what?"

"Well, I met this super weird girl in my English class. Who walked in with this bubbly attitude and demeaned that I came and sat at the group table with her and some dush bag"

"Hey that was me" I laughed

"Yeah"

I frowned thinking about the other person he was talking about

"Hey look at me" I looked up

"No matter what he said its not true do you hear me"

I just stared at him

"I know it hurts but just remember that no matter youre amazing and if wants to lose that then fuck him"

I sniffled

"If it helps, Ill always be there for you know matter what Ill always be there for you and think about it if you didnt come up to me, I would have never talked to you" he mentioned

"Yeah, and we have never been friends"

"Yeah"

We sat there for a while and said nothing

"Eli" I whispered

"Mhmm"

"It still hurts" tears spilling down my cheek

"I know Abb I know"
