Depressed

eight

The rest of the day, Hailey had a pained smile on her face. Many people noticed, and asked her questions, but she dodged them. She was ready to go home, go to her room, and cry. She was heartbroken. Because of that damn piece of shit, Jason Reed.

When the bell rang, Hailey raced out of P.E and bumped into Mr. Herein. Mr. Herein, shocked, dropped his things on the floor. Hailey gasped. "Mr. Herein...I'm-I'm so sorry, I didn't mean--"

Me. Herein shook his head an grinned. "Hailey, hailey, it's okay. Perfectly fine." Hailey helped Mr. Herein pick his books up off the floor. "Thanks Hailey," he thanked her. She nodded and started to walk away when Mr. Herein gripped her wrist. Startled, Hailey turned to Mr. Herein with wide eyes. "You look sad, wanna talk about it?" He asked her. Hailey shook her head and started tugging her arm back. Mr. Herein tightened his grip at this notion. "You left something in my classroom. Just pick it up, come on," Mr. Herein coaxed. Hailey had no choice but to follow him since he was gripping her wrist so hard.

When they entered his classroom, he turned on the lights and placed his books on his desk. He smiled at Hailey, but what brought shivers up her spine was the look in his eye. It looked like he was mentally undressing her. He took a step towards Hailey. She took a step back. "Uhm....I think I can pick it up tomorrow..." Hailey's voice wobbled and she started towards the door. Suddenly, strong arms wrapped around her waist and she was pushed the against the wall. "Wha--" she started to say but lips crushed her. She was horrified, disgusted, afraid....

She started to push him back, but Mr. Herein gripped her even tighter. Hailey struggled, but she was too weak. She was trapped. Her arms crushed under Mr. Herein's weight and her legs crushed by his. She started to yell and realized her mistake. Mr. Herein took it as his chance to deepen the kiss, exploring her mouth with his tongue. Hailey couldn't breathe. She couldn't speak. Black spots started blocking her vision and she felt herself sinking to the ground. She heard Mr. Herein mutter, "Oh shit." And he backed away from her, giving her space. Hailey blinked. Once. Twice. Then, when she could breathe, she yelled, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR?!" Mr. Herein smirked. "Hailey, I waited and waited for this moment. Don't deny it, I knew you wanted it to."

Hailey felt bile rise up her throat. She threw up. Luckily, she raced to the trash can. After she let out all she could, she wiped her mouth with her sweatshirt sleeve. "You're a forty year old man! How could you kiss me like that? You're a sick pervert! I'm reporting this to the principal!"

Mr. Herein turned pale. He got out his wallet and gave her a twenty. "Shut the fuck up, take the money. Don't tell anyone."

Hailey raised her eyebrows. "No. Give me a 100 and I'll leave this alone."

He shook his head. "30."

She clicked her tongue. "90."

"40."

"80."

"50."

"70. Take it or leave it." She demanded. He glared at her and said, "60. 70 is too much."

She rolled her eyes. "What's the big deal? It's only ten dollars less."

He growled. "At least I earn money. You probably depend on your daddy for some cash."

Her dad jumped into her mind. She checked her watch. 4:34 P.M.

"Hurry, I'm gonna be late," She sighed. Today was an awful day. He handed her three twenties. She was in such a bad mood that she didn't care. She trudged out the school, thinking of painless ways to end her life.

Jason drove 20 miles past the speed limit. He didn't care. He hated Sarah. A lot. But he understood her train of thought.

Jessica was a royal pain. And a royal bitch. She was evil, like the girl version of Satan. And he knew she could destroy Hailey. But it was awful. He planned to ask her for her phone number, and they would take things slowly, nice and easy. But Sarah dropped the bomb. She dismissed all hope.

Jason hit his head against the steering wheel. He was so confused. Was this how it felt like to be in love?

The moment he saw her, he knew she was the one. He would do anything for her. If she wanted him to change his ways, he would. If she wanted him to jump off a plane that was going 340 mph, he would. But he wondered, would she do the same? Or was what they shared not mutual?

Finally, he saw the familiar sign that read: Samuel Car Services. The best Service for the best people.

He found an empty parking spot and parked his car. He remembered the first time he met Hailey. They were riding in this car and Jason got so distracted by her that he almost made a car crash. He walked inside the garage, and he heard the voices of Sam and a deeper voice. They were speaking quickly and quietly, and their eyebrows were furrowed. Jason knocked on the garage. The deep voice guy looked annoyed while Sam looked up. His face lit up when he saw Jason.

"Aye!" He said. "Mi hermano! What's up?"

Jason grinned and they hugged each other. Sam reeked of gasoline and sweat but Jason was used to it.

"It's about..." Jason started. Sam's eyes lit up. "It's about that girl, isn't it?" Jason was too upset to argue, so he nodded.

"Then you've come to the right place! Lemme tell my friend, José, that I need a break." Sam walked to José, the deep voiced guy, and he said something in Spanish. José glowered at Jason while walking off. Sam motioned for Jason to follow him. They sat at a bench and he clicked his tongue.

"So, Jason, what happened? Did you cheat on her?" Sam asked him. Jason shook his head. "You know that girl, Jessica whatever right? The one whose a slut and who flirted with you? The one who thinks you're no more than a farm boy?"

Sam clenched his teeth and nodded. "That bitch. Oh ho, I remember her. Keep talking."

"Well I was dating her--"

"YOU WERE WHAT?!" Sam yelled. He scared the living shit out of Jason. "Dude chill," Jason said. "You scared the dick off of me."

Sam was breathing hard and said, "Why'd you ever even think of dating that slut?"

Jason shook his head. "I didn't want to. One night, I went to a bar and she was there and she looked so....fuckable. Goddamn, you're right, why would I date her?"

"My thoughts exactly," Sam muttered.

"Anyway," Jason continued. "I broke up with her day before yesterday, and I wanted to be friends with Hailey. More than friends, actually. But her friend Sarah," Jason spat. "Told me that for some reason Jessica was jealous of Hailey. She should be jealous. Hailey is the beautifulest girl I've ever seen! I don't know why she hides it, but she's smart, funny, she is nothing like Jessica. All Jessica is known for is her big tits. To me, all I do is compare every woman to Hailey. So Sarah told me to stop hanging out with Hailey because of her sake. So Jessica won't kill her."

Jason sighed, combing his hair back frustratedly. "Dammit, Sam, I'm so fucking confused! I did it for her own good, but I feel like I'm dead. What can I do?"

Sam smiled. "That's when I come in."
