Chapter 21 - Biggest Regret

Geo received a two-week suspension from the basketball team but was fortunate enough not to be kicked off it. However, Devon was expelled from the team after the coach found out what he had done to Genesis. Additionally, Leon was also kicked off the team for helping Devon, and he received an in-school suspension. Genesis felt a little safer after Devon's expulsion, as he no longer had to face him or Leon. However, he still felt uneasy, perhaps because of Indigo, the boy he believed was his worst enemy.

Today's the day. Today is the day I finally break up with Indigo and remove him from my life. This is the final step of me being free from drama. All I have to do is walk in there, say what I gotta say, and then leave. Soon I'll forget his address, his face, his name, his everything. Soon, I won't be thinking about him at all. This is it...

I park in front of Indigo's house. I hate that I still know how to get here by heart. I get out of my car and text Indigo so he can let me in. I'll make sure to black his number later. I knock on the front door. I try my best to look serious or at least have a blank expression on my face, but something inside of me is telling me not to do this. Telling me that this is wrong. But I don't want to listen. That little voice in my head is nothing but trouble.

All of a sudden, the door opened and I made sure to keep my face as blank as possible.

"Genesis, why are you here?" Indigo asks, looking like he had woken up from a nap. He was wearing a tank top and a pair of gray joggers. He looked as sexy as ever. God damn...what was I here for again?

"Gen, you good?" Indigo asks. And his voice is slightly deeper? I know something that could be even deeper inside me—

Snap. Out. Of. It.

"Yeah, I'm cool." I finally respond. "Can I come in?"

"Yeah," Indigo moved aside for me to walk in. As I walked past him, I could feel his eyes on me. It's like I could feel him checking me out. He's making this harder than I thought.

When we reached his room, I didn't sit down. I didn't want to. I have to make sure this doesn't turn out to be something it shouldn't.

"What's up with you? You've been acting different lately." Indigo says, a look of concern in his eyes. I stare at him, trying to think of a response that doesn't make me sound like a simp.

"I'm fine," I say. "I just..."

I pause for a moment. This is it...this is the moment. You can do it, Genesis. You got it...

"I have something I wanna get off of my chest."

"And that is?" Indigo sat down on his bed.

I take a deep breath. "I wanna break up." I quickly say.

We sit in silence for a moment. We stare at each other before he says something.

"Okay...why?" He asks.

"Hm?" I hum.

"Why?" He asks again. "Why do you want to break up?"

"Why do you have to know?" I reply.

"Because I don't know if you're breaking up with me for no reason. I want a reason and I would like you to give it to me. Unless you don't have one." Indigo raises his eyebrows at me.

I feel like I'm holding my breath and I can't seem to let it out. Like I'm holding myself back.

"I've taken the past week to think and I've realized that I'm not..." again, I paused. What is wrong with me today? This was so much easier in my head.
