Chapter 15: Sean

I knew the moment I heard it to turn my head towards Junior. His mouth wide open, his eyes blazing and his soft hands in hard cold fists.

He was ready to fight. I could tell. Junior could earn his spot back if he played nice. If not then Carter would ruin him for pouncing on him.
I hurriedly walked the aisle to Carter to position myself between the two.

"Babe that's great news!" I said hugging him and walking us back to our seat. Junior was looking out of the window now. The furiously was adamantly radiating off of him. He wouldn't look at me. Which was heartbreaking. But I also knew he wouldn't start a brawl with Carter. Which was relieving.
I wasn't sure what I wanted. Junior or revenge?
Ugh.  

I quietly grabbed my blanket and pulled it up over my head. Listening to music.

V yanked the blanket off and motioned to the view
"Isn't it beautiful?"

The bus was rolling onto the highway and before I knew it City lights were everywhere. We weren't even close to the Retreat but still actually seeing the a big city from this point of view was breath taking.

I'd never been one to go out and shop. We of course had a strip mall, but it wasn't the same. I was a semi- small town girl. There are about 74 Seniors in my graduating class. Not many are too unfamiliar with each other.

**B-ding!** My phone went off. I looked around nervous. I hurriedly ignored the text then turned my phone to vibrate. I went back to messages and read the text from Junior
Why?

I scanned it then my vision flipped to his seat. There he was with his hood up and leaning his head against the cold glass.

I don't know anymore. We need to talk.

I texted back. Doing my own thing I laid against the wall. I looked out the window at the passing lights.

*Buzz* My heart jumped and I grabbed my phone. I opened it this time going straight to the messages.

Sure.

I tried to type out multiple text messages to explain myself but settled with no text and I would explain in person. When I looked over I could tell Junior was asleep now.

His body unevenly breathing. I took my spare blanket and walked towards him. Draping my blanket across his cold body and situating him so he wasn't on the freezing window anymore.

I did love Junior. How could you not? He's every girls' dream guy and here I am letting him slip between my fingers.

Carter and V stared daggers into my soul. Seriously. I felt like if I touched them I'd bleed. They must really work on those stares during their 'popular' time.

My hair flung around my face as some dummy opened a window. Brisk winter breeze filled the air and my nose got red. I was freezing, since I had just given my spare blanket to Junior.

"Close it you stupid fuck!" I yelled shoving the boy towards the window; he closed it with force than snapped back at me.

"Don't tell me what to do!" He screamed raising his hand to slap me.

I braced myself waiting for it. Waiting for his cold hand to make contact with my red cheeks. I waited for the pain. Like I always had.

"Sit Down!" I heard someone yell. I opened my eyes to see Junior holding the boy's arm and hand pinning it against the window. Carter was the one yelling at him.

Them two actually helping each other? Hell must have froze over. They looked at each other than to me

They dropped the cowering boy back in his seat Junior approached me and slipped a note in my pocket before walking straight by.

Carter hugged me and kissed my cheek asking if I was okay. I mumbled all the answers he wanted to hear.

I anticipated the note. What if it was rejection? It'd be worth it.

Sean,
To say I'm heartbroken, is an understatement. We need to talk. If you bring Carter I will beat the shit out of him, and never forgive you. My room at 6. If you're not there at 6. I'll be in the lounge. I'm willing to work this out if you are. I love you.

Signed,

Junior

Woah. Way to end a note. I love you. I was anxious. I had to come clean. I had to be on my best behavior and admit all the wrong I had done. Because if I lost Junior. All of this was for nothing. My senior year was for nothing.

I love you.

During my flipping out process. I would have never noticed Carter reading the note too. Right over my shoulder.
