Mia and Ant were none other than glances in the hallway maybe a friendly arm around the shoulder but nothing more. Nothing yet.
That night at the beach party was unspoken of, although there was so much they both wanted to say, they wouldn't.
But wi...
"Stop." she spoke not turning to him "We don't have to talk. Eventually someone will get us." she finished bluntly as he sighed. They had already been stuck together for about 30 minutes and every time Ant had built up the courage to speak to her, she would shut him down.
It hurt, a lot.
"Why are you mad at me?" he asked as she scoffed, the audacity. She stayed facing away from him as he neared "You've just done the same thing" he spoke into her neck now, his breath made hers hitch. She had missed his touch.
"Fuck off" she moved away still not facing him as he scoffed. That simple scoff arose something in her as she turned to him angrily "Fuck you Ant, seriously." she started "I don't want to be apart of your fucked up games so leave me alone."
"What games Mia? I've been nothing but honest" he neared her as she held her hands out "Honest?! You're actually sick" she looked him up and down once more before turning back to the door to bang on it "I swear to god if I have to stay here any longer I'm gonna off myself." she muttered but not quiet enough.
"Right because I'm that bad" he sat down "you're no better than me Mia" he rested his head in his hands sighing "I'm sorry, but it's true."
That pulled at her heart string, she had never done anything bad to Ant, she couldn't. "I'm not having this conversation with you." she spoke
"You hate me" he played with his fingers "I know that, but why didn't you call."
"Ant—"
"No! I told you everything. I don't do feelings, I don't do vulnerability but I still told you everything." He stood up now that she was facing him "Then you bring some fucking Ken to the party? He doesn't even go to our school!"
"Don't try to make me feel bad" she started, remembering everything, "you've put me through hell." she bit her lip trying to contain the flush of emotion begging to pour out of her.
Mia holding back all of her emotions from everything that had happened was okay since she didn't have to see him or talk to him, but now she was forced to, and she could barely contain herself.
"Like I said, I'm not having this conversation with you" she took a deep breath collecting herself.
"I didn't mean to" Ant began. He never knew how much pain he had caused her, he was so stuck in his head and selfishness that he hadn't realised how much Mia had changed, how much she was affected.
It broke his heart.
He was so focused about her and Dusty's friendship when now it was so obvious that was all it was, a friendship. Mia never gave him shit for being so close to Harper, yet look at what he had done. He was upset about her not addressing his feelings yet when she told him how she felt, he told everyone that she was a drunken slut. He was the problem, no wonder Mia didn't want to be around him anymore, he let his pride and ego get in the way of what truly mattered. She deserved better.
"You deserve better." his voice cracked as her eyebrows rose and mouth slightly opened "That's not fair" her eyes began to water "you can't do all of that to me, and then say that I deserve better" the tears began to fall
"Why couldn't you have been better?" she sniffed, she couldn't contain her feelings anymore, they were pouring out of her like a broken faucet.
Her anger, frustration, embarrassment and sadness had been caged away but that sentence broke her.
He knew what he was doing yet he continued to? He knew she didn't deserve that treatment then why did he treat her like that?
"Just go over there please, leave me alone" she turned away from him, waiting to hear footsteps moving away from her instead they walked closer.
"I didn't mean to hurt you." he wrapped himself around her, resting his head in the crook of her neck as she stiffened "I guess I care about what you think, that's why I was hurt when you didn't... respond" he sighed as she brought her hands to his, holding him as he held her.
She knew what he was feeling because she had felt the same, it's a shitty feeling.
"I wanted to call you but I guess I wanted you to feel how I felt on the beach" she admitted as he nodded "What's wrong with us?" she sighed "all this complication, when we both know—"
Ant kissed her.
It didn't matter about "Ken" downstairs, it didn't matter about Dusty or Spider, he couldn't deny his feelings anymore, he needed to show her. His hands cupped her face as they lips connected, all the build up of need for each other expressed in a simple kiss.
Interrupted by the sound of the door being opened, they broke apart as Amerie walked in with a screw driver "What're you two doing here?"
"Did you not hear me banging on the door?" Mia asked angrily as Amerie shook her head causing Mia to roll her eyes and barge past her
"The handle" Ant awkwardly smiled dropping the handle into her hand as Amerie screwed him, she still hadn't forgiven him for what he done
"Okay... you're excused" she motioned to the door as he gave a thumbs up and left.
