The Family Experiment

31) Monday(Weston)

I don't know how Lee slipped out of my mouth, but it had.

It fell from my lips like the most natural thing.

The look of disgust that flashed through her eyes was enough to cripple me.

Bentley currently stood ten feet away from me, nearly seething.

"What the fuck did I tell you Weston?" In the blink of an eye Bentley was in my face giving me a hard shove.

"Stay out of it Bentley,"

"No Weston, I won't. Amelie is like a sister to me, and you are hurting her Weston. Don't you get that. I see a piece of her break every time she's near you."

"You're lying." I could feel my body trembling.

"Why would I lie to you Weston? You break that girl's heart every time you breathe in her direction."

"Shut up Bentley."

"No Weston, you need to hear this. She was happy again, you know. She had finally just started to understand the fact that she would never know why you did what you did. Then here you come waltzing back into her life. Shattering every brick she had built. You did that Weston."

My jaw was clenched so tight I thought a tooth was going to break.

"You don't know what the fuck you're talking about Bentley. Get out."

"With pleasure." He said, disgust tainting his voice.

I hadn't seen Amelie all weekend.

I texted her and asked about Scout but I got no response from her.

It was Monday morning now and I was dreading getting out of bed. Dreading having to see her, and not be able to talk to her. I was going to respect her wish.

Bentley hasn't talked to me either. But I wasn't as bothered by him.

Eventually I rolled out of bed. I know I must have looked like a wreck. I hadn't been sleeping much, I had been out. I walked into the bathroom and big dark circles hung around my eyes. I changed into a pair of black joggers and a black sweatshirt. I headed out my door just as Bentley was. He scoffed at me and then blew by me.

"Nice to fucking see you too Bentley." I hollered down the hallway.

"Shut the fuck up Weston." He said as he shoved open the door to the stairs. 

Slowly I followed suit, my helmet in hand. I stepped into the Autumn air and got on my bike. I speeded out of the parking lot and somehow found myself at the coffee shop. I saw Gracie and gave her a wave, at first her face lit up and then instantly dropped as she scanned my face.

"Dear God, you look like you were hit by a train." She said rushing over to me.

"Wow Gracie you look stunning too!" I said with sarcasm.

"No like actually Weston, what's wrong?"

"Nothing Grace, can I get my regular and then the same drink I got for Amelie last week."

"Sure thing West." She gave a sad smile knowing I wasn't going to talk to her. Shortly Grace came back out carrying my two drinks. I grabbed the two cups but Grace didn't let go of them.

"Take care of yourself Weston, your mom would not be very happy with me if she knew I was letting you walk around with bats under your eyes. You also need to shave you got a stubble growing."

"Any other flaws you think I need to fix Grace?" I said rolling my eyes

"Yeah, maybe that attitude."

"Goodbye Gracie."

"Bye Weston." She snickered

I went out to my bike and put the coffees in my bag, praying they were still there when I got to school.

When I arrived at school it was much earlier than I usually got there. I got off my bike and checked to make sure both of the coffees were still there, and they were. I took a sharpie out of my bag and wrote 'Sweet Tooth' on Amelie's coffee before walking into the school and placing it on her desk.

I entered my homeroom, I was there before almost everyone else.

"Hey Mrs Maddison."

"Hello Weston, how are you today?"

"Just peachy." I breathed. I sat down in my chair and laid my head on my desk. I pulled my hood over my eyes and shut them

"Wake me up when the bell rings please."

"I can do that."

Just as I felt my mind shut off I heard a familiar voice.

Her voice.

"Hi Mrs Maddison." She said softly.

"Hello Amelie, what brings you by?"

"Just dropping off Scout, where's Weston?"

"Amelie, are you blind?" I heard Nash say.

"I wish I were so I so I didn't have to look at your ugly face."

"Don't lie to yourself, you wish you could sit on this face."

"You're actually disgusting, Nash."

"Just making sure sad boy over here is actually sleeping"

"That's Weston?" She said like she was looking at something disgusting.

"The one and only." Bentley sighed.

"What's wrong with him?"

"Amelie, are you serious right now?" I heard Nash say, "You, you're what's wrong with him." 

"Don't fucking defend him Nash."

"Hey someone's got to be on our boys side and it sure as hell ain't you."

"He should have stayed away from her like he's supposed to."

Like I was supposed to?

Did they know?

How would they now?

"You know how he's felt towards her, how he's always felt towards her, I'm surprised he didn't break the line earlier."

"He didn't break a line, he knows the threat."

They knew.

How did they know?

"What threat?"Amelie's voice sounded like a squeak, like a mouse not knowing the cheese it just ate would cause its death.
