Shedding Tears [COMPLETED] #Wattys2016

Chapter 14

Its been thirty minutes that I'm staring at the phone, deciding whether i should make a move or not.
He should call you first, he was cheating, not you.
But i sure was trying to flirt with Joseph which led to the rape thing.
You don't have to call, he'll think you're just another lay.
Remember what Jane said? You owe him a thanks at least.

I groan as I'm being destroyed with the tornado of my own mixed thoughts. I think i really should call him, only then i'll be able to know his part of the situation. With trembling fingers, i dial his number. The bell rings. I can feel my heart go wild as the time passes. The bell is disconnected on the fourth ring. I frown as i try again. He cuts it again. The next time i try dialing his number, his phone is powered off. What the hell?

I don't know if i should be mad or embarrassed or what but these feelings were really making my life a living inferno. I still leave him a text to call me as soon as possible. I throw my phone on the bed as i lie down for a couple of minutes. Its school tomorrow and i don't really feel like waking up and going. I feel like shit. Going to a school without having a boyfriend to cuddle anymore in the morning and having to see his face with millions of emotions flowing in: Really not a piece of cake.

Its 10 at night and the weather outside is a little chilly, on the verge of raining. Streaks of lighting etching the dark sky, watch my window pane with a blank brain as the first drops of rain dance on the glass. I call Kyle, being the actual sweetheart that he is, I'm sure he'll be able to help me out.

'Hey Stace.' He says, rather dryly. He's never so ignorant before, i don't know what's with him. I really want to talk to him for a couple of reasons: To know what Harry is upto and i want him to be the brother that i take him to be.
'Hey!' I say, in a cheery voice. He doesn't answer for another ten seconds, complete silence at his end. 'Kyle? You there?' I say, 'Yeah. Say why did you call me?' He says.
Okay this time, I'm officially offended. 'Um Kyle, is everything alright?'

'It would've been if you had trusted Harry a little.' I am taken aback by his sudden outburst. I'm confused. Why would a fight between Harry and I concern him and why would he be so rude to me? 'What?' I say in a questioning yet curious tone. 'I'm coming over in ten.' He says as he shuts the call on me. I don't know whats wrong.

The sky is gun metal grey as the rain is sputtering on the tar roads. Everything is a scenery of blur outside, the only thing gleaming in the gloom are the streetlights. As per Kyle's promise, he rings the doorbell within ten minutes. I open the door as he quickly runs inside, his shoes are soaked and his clothes a bit damp. 'Hey!' He whispers as he pulls his shoes off and hangs his coat. He plops on the couch of the living room making himself at home. I hand him a hot cup of coffee as i sit beside him.

He's the one who breaks the silence rather bluntly, 'Honestly tell me Stace, what happened last night at the bar añd after?' I sip my coffee as i remember everything.

I begin, 'We were at the bar and i was a little pissed at Harry for being so ignorant toward me at the movie. It really was no big deal though. Then we entered the bar and Harry tried speaking to me, and i ignored him making my way to the bar and having vodka. Just as i was about to dance, i couldn't spot him anywhere so i went upstairs. I had a good view of everything below but then..' I pause, the coffee literally choking me. 'I saw a half naked Karen in Harry's arms and her clothes were hung up on his shoulder. He was carrying him outside the bar. He cheated on me Kyle. I was so devastated at this thought of another heartbreak, that i went to the bar again and drank endlessly. There this Joseph guy came and tried to rape me on the roadside. After that i am completely blank. According to Harry, he saved me from losing my virginity on the roadside and carrying me home safe and sound.'
