The Summer Of Grey

Chapter 16

Thank you for reading This is where we left off at the end of chapter 15

After I use the restroom I walk around the party looking for him, I text him but he doesn't reply. I see a bunch of kids out front smoking cigarettes so I look to see if he's there talking to anyone. Nope , no sign of him so as I turn to head back inside I look slightly to my left and see Christian standing about 50 feet away near a car in the front parking lot leaning against a girl and kissing her.

Oh no, I'm going to be sick. I feel paralyzed. This is why he's being so rude to me. He's cheating on me. Why? How could he? My heart sinks to the ground and I feel a lump in my throat. I start walking towards him and the tears start flowing like a monsoon.

"Christian" I whisper, barely able to speak and he turns around and steps back in shock.

"Oh shit" he gasp and looks frozen like a fucking deer in the headlights.

Chapter 16

Oh shit is right, you're caught you asshole, how could he? Is this really happening right now?

I recognize the girl from school her name is Maddie Giannakos she was in my math class last year. All she did was brag about how at her sweet 16 she was a carried out like a Greek goddess and fed grapes and how she gets whatever she wants because her father owns a restaurant. She's a stuck up bitch.

Christian looks nervous, hes frozen in place not speaking just looking at me trying to think of what to say. He tugs at his hair and looks back at Maddie then to me.

"I can't believe you would do this to me" I try to shout but I'm hysterically crying now. Maddie is just looking at me stone faced like she could care less. I want to punch her in her face but I think I'm in shock right now. I just scowl at her.

"I can't fucking believe you, I hate you Christian". I cry and cover my face.

"Ana, wait I'm drunk, I didn't um... I was drinking" and he starts walking towards me to explain.

"Fuck you Christian, I hate you, never talk to me again" and I just turn around and start to walk away sobbing hysterically.

"No, no wait, I'm sorry Ana, wait please I love you baby" he pleads but I just keep walking. I can't look back at him. I'm so hurt. I love him. He said he loved me, he was so good to me, I slept with him, I gave him everything I had, my innocence, how could he do this to me? This is not love.

He turns back and I hear him tell Maddie to just go and when he's not looking I just start to run as fast as I can. I hide behind a car and take off my shoes. I can see him looking for me and holding his forehead as he calls my name. I start running until I know he can't see me anymore. I can still hear him calling me. I just lean up against a tree and just cry like I've never done before. My heart is broken. I don't know what I'm going to do. I want to go home but my house is like 2 miles from here and it's really late. I text my brother Drew and he calls back right away.

I'm crying so hard and he seems scared for me. He tells me to calm down so he can understand me. I catch my breath and ask him if he can pick me up, I know he has my mom's car tonight. He is at the midnight movie and says he will leave right away and come get me in 15 minutes. He was invited to the party but didn't want to go. Christian is calling my cell like crazy and texting me that he's so sorry and he is drunk but I'm not answering him. I'm done.

The next 15 minutes seem like forever and he texts me like 20 more times saying "I'm worried" "where are you" "I love you" yeah he loves me okay right. I remember at the last party when I danced with Matt in a friendly way how he freaked out over something so innocent, but he was kissing her. I saw him, his hands were on her waist and he was pushing her up against her car. What if I hadn't seen him? Would he have slept with her in her car? Who knows, all I know is that hate him at this moment and I don't want to see him or talk to him ever again.
