Mr Hood

Chapter 8

CALUMS POV

I paced up and down the gym locker room, knowing he would be here any second now.

He would not hesitate to rub it in my face.

He would not hesitate to tell me how he had touched and felt her and held her.

I knew I was green with jealously, and my face was probably red from anger.

But I did not care.

The door to the gym opened and I felt his presence.

He was here.

His booted feet padded heavily against the wooden floor until he reached the locker room door.

He opened it slowly, stepping inside even slower and came to stand before me.

He smirked, a smug look on his face.

What had he done?

"She's a gullible one, I'll give her that," he began.

He stepped closer, reaching to grab at my towel.

He slapped it against his skin a few times.

"She won't be coming near you again Hood," he told me.

I felt my face pale, my heart stop.

"What did you do?" I whispered.

He laughed bitterly as he dropped the towel.

"I didn't do anything mate, you did. She agreed with me that your fucking insane with those stupid anger problems. Said you needed to be checked out," he ridiculed.

He had told her?

He had told her everything, and all my doubts had come true.

They had all been confirmed.

She hated me.

"Awe Calum. Don't cry. It's not like she was anything special. She wasn't your girlfriend," he mocked.

I sniffed, blinking multiple times to stop the tears from escaping.

I could not let him see my weakness.

I could not let him know he had got to me.

I breathed out heavily through my nose, my hands balling into fast.

"Oh wait," he gasped.

He stepped closer to me, his face inches from mine whilst he searched my eyes.

I did not know what he was looking for but it felt like he was starring into my soul.

He backed up, his hands going behind his back, clasped together.

He rocked on his heels and his lips pursed in thought.

"You love her," he said.

My heart sped up as he spoke the one feeling I never thought I would feel.

"You love her, don't you?" he said again, questioning my motives.

My jaw clenched and my teeth ground together.

Now that he knew he would try to provoke me to act out even more.

He would dangle her in front of me.

He would remind me that she would never love me back.

He would be that horrible reminder, that bad taste that was always around.

"She won't love you," he said, speaking the thoughts I had.

"You're nothing but a worthless piece of shit Hood. She won't love you," he spat.
