Trapped - Malachi Barton

12

~Olivia's POV~

It's tuesday, and I have to go to school today. I came down with a fever yesterday, but now its gone, and sadly now I have to go back.

I took a shower, did my skin care, I put on my usual amount of makeup, and got changed.

(fit, if you don't like you can change it)

I grabbed a plain my sweatshirt and put it on.

~time skip~

I walked into science, I saw malachi on his phone, do I sit there? I mean what if he is still mad at me? I kept thinking of all the terrible outcomes of me walking over there and sitting down.

I slowly walked to my seat, and he looked up from his phone. "hey" I said softly.

"hey"

I sat down in my seat and I wanted to say something but nothing came out, I started playing with my sleeves. "Im sorry." I said still tugging on the ends of my sleeves, breaking the silence.

"for everything, im sorry" I said my voice breaking for some reason, still not looking up at him.

"Vi, its fine, I'm not mad" he said. "did you ask her Mrs.sunshine to the dance." I asked finally looking at him. "who, Jenny?" He asked. "No." he said.

"oh" is all I managed out. It made me I don't know, hopeful? "are you doing okay? you look pale, and tired." he said putting his hand on my forehead. I got chills from his touch. "yeah, I'm fine" I said softly giving him a soft smile.

"did you eat today." he said narrowing his eyes at me. "mhm" I said looking away.

Then he grabbed my chin gently making me look at him, that made me fold like crazy. "and what did you eat vi?" he asked softly. "uh, a few grapes." I said.

My cheeks were hot, he definitely can see how red right now. "come on vi, you know that's not nearly enough." he said letting go of my chin.

I just nodded my head not being able to form words.

~time skip to lunch~

As me and Chloe got to the table, I was pulled down next to Malachi. "your my lunch buddy today" he said while moving his tray Infront of me.

"oh no thank you" I said. "Vi, i know wahat your doing and it doesn't end good" he said softly. "please do do this to yourself okay, don't let jenny's words get to you." he said only loud enough for me to hear.

" i have no clue what your talking about." I said not so convincing. "I heard what she said to you vi." he said. "now eat please."

"fine" I took a bite of his sandwich. "happy?" I said once I swallowed. "very" he said flashing a huge smile at me.

I looked over at Jenny who was now in my spot, and boy did she not look happy. You could practically see the steam coming out of her ears.

For the rest of lunch we all just talked about random things before we had to go to class.

~time skip half way through math~

I asked the teacher if I could use the restroom, and she said yeah.

once I got there, I was washing my hands when someone came in and it was Jenny.

"oh its, you" she said with disgust in her voice. "the one and only" I mumbled before turning away.

I was about to leave when, Jenny said, "you need to back off of Malachi" she said backing me into a wall. "He doesn't like you at all, he just feels bad, we all do honestly. Thats why we even put up with you in the first place. I mean come on, if he truly wanted to be friends with you he wouldn't have stopped in the first place. Your a attention whore. You use your dead family as an excuse to act the way you do. we all wished you died in the car that night. And if you ever think he will fall for someone as fat and fucking depressing, think again, stay the fuck away from him bitch" she spat at me before walking away.

I stood there with tears streaming down my face, and I fell down on the floor letting out soft sobs. we all wished you died in the car that night. everything she said was stringing in my head over and over again.

I stayed in the bathroom and never left.

forgetting about class, forgetting about me backpack in class, I just sat In there until the Bell rang. I fixed myself up and grabbed my bag, and went to 6th hour with my head down the whole time.

~time skip at home~

I went to my room and I cried. A lot for hours.

After a few hours I decided to shop online for a hoco dress because I sadly had to go, not only for Chloe but because I need a distraction.

After a while I found a strap, short tight black dress. And bought it.

~next few days~

  I have been avoiding Malachi, for the past 2 days.

I sat in a different spot in Science, and I ignored him in math, at lunch I didn't talk. Everytime he attempted to talk to me, I ignored him.

I had to silently watch as Jenny though herself at him.

As me and Chloe were walking out of school she stopped. "why are you ignoring Malachi?" she asked.

"it doesn't matter." I said dryly before walking away. "really because for something 'that doesn't matter' its hurts me watching you do this to yourself, he seems hurt." she said. I shake my head, "we didn't talk for 2 years I think he doesn't care to live without me." I said.

" Why cant you see that he does care about you! why cant you see that your important to him and you are hurting him and you by doing this!" Chloe yelled at me.

"He doesnt! He feels bad for me, you all do! You guys treat me like I'm a fragile peice of glass that is going to break any second!" I yelled back.

"And nobody believes me when you say Im fine! You don't even Believe me!" I spat.

She stared at me wide eyed. "Liv.." she said.

"none of us think that, we care for you." she said softly.  She looked at something behind me before looking at me again.

"I'm going home bye, chlo" I said when I turned around I saw Malachi and Jenny kissing again.

I turned back to Chloe, my eyes watery "see sunshine got him." I smiled which caused a tear to roll down. Then I walked away.
