"TEEN ROMANCE" ~ Malachi Barton

Chapter - 26

Malachi and I broke up last weekend, and the next week or so at school had been hell. Autumn throwing herself at Malachi, Johnny won't shut up about how he's sorry and was drunk, and it's just been a complete mess.

MALACHIS POV:

I walked into homeroom, seeing her was like a stab in the heart, I walk over to my desk, staring at the floor like it was the most interesting thing I had seen ever. I took my seat beside her.

She won't even look at me, i mean, I don't blame her. But, she won't even look towards me... It hurt. It really does, I wish i didn't fuck us up.

I walk my normal route to class when Autumn steps up, walking beside me.

"Hi Malachiiii" she exaggerates her words in an annoying manner.

"What?" I snap, not even meaning for it to sound rude,  but Autumn being the entitled annoying ass bitch she is, clearly didn't catch my tone.

"Wanna go get ice cream after school?"

My anger reaches a breaking point, I can't believe the nerve of this girl.

"No. I don't."

"You're still stuck on Giovanna's fat ass?"

My eyes squint and my eyebrows furrow, no way in hell would I let her talk about her like that.

"She's not fat. She's far from it, and I'm sorry your ugly ass is so fucking jealous of her that you have to go out of your way to be a bitch! And quite frankly, Autumn, I want absolutely nothing to do with you, so go find some other boy to drool over, because I fucking hate you." The words come out before I can stop them, I know it's immature to lash out like that but I've been so stressed with going to New Zealand and keeping, my grades up.

Autumn nods and walks away without another word. I start to walk up the stairs, entirely lost in thought when I bump into someone, causing them to lose their balance and fall on the stairs.

"Sorry!" I cry out, helping the girl pick up her stuff. I knew it was Gi without her even having to turn around. Her movements sluggish and slow.

"It's fine..." she struggles to her feet, supporting herself on the railing.

"Are you okay?" I ask as she turns to face me. I take in the saddened expression on her face, her eyes have bags and they arnt as bright as they used to be. It breaks my heart seeing how sick she looks.

"F-fine" she stutters. But I can hear the crack in her voice and the tears beginning to pool.

I brush a strand of hair out of her face and cup her jaw with my hand, running my thumb over her protruding cheek bone.

She stares at me for a minute, her eyes moving from my own to my lips and back. She opens her mouth to talk but nothing comes out.

"Talk to me, please. What's going on?"

She shakes her head, "nothing." She smiles at me.

"I'm sorry"

"I know."

She took my hand off her cheek and turned, beginning to walk away.

"Don't do this to me...please. You know I love you. We're not over, you don't mean it"
I just want to hold her again. 

"No. You don't get the right to say that." She snaps

"o-okay..." i manage a weak response.

"just know that i am sorry..." I look at her, an aching in my heart.

she walks away, and i let her...why would i let her? why can't i go after her? why'd i have to fuck up so badly.

I sigh and run a hand through my hair, my eyes finding my feet. I feel my eyes sting and tears brimming them.

A WEEK LATER

i'm sitting in my english class, my eyes drifting back to the girl go my left. I miss her. After class, she picks up her stuff and i say her name "giovanna...?" she pauses and looks at me.

"what?" she questions, her voice sounding pained.

"can we please talk, like seriously talk...?" I ask, waiting to see her reaction. Her eyes soften and she lets out a sigh...

A/N: sorry for not posting updates lately! i don't really know where i want this story to go anymore.
