Unbreakable

Chapter 10

I laid in my bed clutching my stuffed pig, one of the things from Carter that I just couldn't get rid of. I was devastated. I thought Ryder was different and now that I know the truth about him I don't know how to feel. Should I be mad that he treated his ex like Carter treated me?

There was a knock on my door, I sniffled, "Come in, it's unlocked."

Alla came in, "Hey did you forget I was coming over?" Her smile faded when she saw the look on my face, she sat on the bed, "What's wrong?" I told her what I discovered and she gasped, "What the heck!"

"I know right."

"So what are you gonna do, you still like him right?"

"I do but that's the problem. How can I love someone who treats girls like shit?"

"Love? You love him?"

I froze, did I really say that? Did I love him??

"You should go talk to him."

I crossed my arms, "I have nothing to say to him."

"Are you sure about that?"

Was I?

I sighed, "I can't face him. Not yet anyway."

"To change the subject I saw your name on the sign up sheet for the car wash tomorrow. You never participate in any school activity. Why are you starting now?"

"To prove a point. Everyone thinks I'm a slut so you know what I'll be the sluttiest slut out there."

"Uh huh. And do you think Ryder will be okay with whatever you're gonna do tomorrow?"

"I don't care. I'll do what I want."

"Just be careful."

"Okay."

We sat there in silence before she climbed into my bed and curled up next to me. I put on a movie and we watched it silently without saying a word. Eventually we both fell asleep. I dreamed about Ryder and him breaking up with me. I woke up to my pillow soaked with tears.

I sighed and got out of bed to go get some water from the fridge. I grabbed two water bottles and headed back to my room. I bumped into Joel on the way.

"Hi, I haven't seen you in a while." He said bumping shoulders with me

"Yeah I've been around."

"You okay you seem different?"

"Good different? Or bad?" I asked

"Both."

"I see."

He ruffles my hair, "I'm gonna be going out with some friends but I'm going to stop by your school's car wash just to mess with you."

"Thanks." I replied sarcastically

He grinned, "That's what an older brother does."

I punched him, "See ya."

I grabbed my hand water bottle and headed back to my room. I found Alla laying in bed watching tik toks on her phone. "Well good morning sleepy head." I greeted her throwing a cold water bottler at her

It bounced off her head, "Ow." She said rubbing her forehead

I laughed, "Sorry I didn't mean to do that."

"So this car wash, is it mandatory?"

"I dunno, I mean do you wanna go?"

"I wanted to hang out with Trent."
