The unexpected

Chapter 24

LAUREN
It's Tuesday evening, the week seems to be long. I'm not in a good mood right now, and I really hope that being with Brent will help. I put jogging, and a long sleeve shirt on my cheerleading clothes, and I'm leaving the room. I take my car, and I'm going to the gym. Brent's there, smily -as always-. I smile back to him. He puts the song, and we start the practice, the show is soon, and we need to be perfect.
* * *
We need to practice one more time. We're almost perfect, I love it! It really helps to do my passion. I'm dancing, and I hear the door closing. Why? I turn to face the door, in that way Brent can take me to make me jump. Blake's there. Does he really think we're going to take our coffee, tonight? I ignore him, we continued the dance. Anyway, I'm not going to take this coffee with him tonight. The song's over, so I put my jogging, and my shirt. I give a big hug to Brent, and I walk in front of Blake to go outside, ignoring him. He follows me, and he says.
-Stop!
But I keep walking to my car, he runs, and he gets in front of me. His eyes are almost menacing, but I don't care. I look everywhere but at him.
-Look at me...
I don't want to, I really like him. Too much...
He won't stop me, so I walk to my car, and I say.
-Good night Blake.
And then, I get in my car.
Shit, I'm good! I don't know how I did this, and I don't know if I should regret it... Ten minutes later, I'm at the dorm. I unlock the door, and Charlie's there. I'm tired.
-Hey...
-Hey! How are you?
Well, she's not.
-Fine, it's been a rough day.
I give her a small smile, when someone opens the door, without knocking. It's Blake, he's angry... He starts to screams.
-Tell me you didn't feel anything!
I try to stay calm, but I hate when people kind of scream because they're angry.
-I didn't feel anything.
Well, I'm provocating him, a little bit.
-You're such a liar, Lauren!
I look at him, and he looks at me.
-I did, until you kissed someone else.
He doesn't talk, and Charlie's looking at each other.
-Just leave me alone for some times, Blake... I don't want to be like the other girls, I need to take my distance...
I really like him, and I shouldn't. He'll break my heart in millions of pieces. Sincerly, I'm not ready for this. He leaves. I turn to face Charlie, and I take the deepest breathe ever. I want to sleep. Charlie looks at me with her empathic eyes.
-Do you want to talk about this?
-Not tonight... I'm gonna take a shower, and I'm going to sleep.
BLAKE
I'm getting out of the dorm, and I'm angry as fuck. I want to punch someone in the face. Why do I want to be with her? Why is she that much special? What the fuck, Blake! I'm getting in my car, and I punch everywhere I can. My hands hurt a little bit, but I don't give a shit! I'm going to the fraternity, I don't want to see anyone. Oh god, she makes me crazy! I just can't understand what she's doing to me, it's... Unbelievable.
