Heartbreak In Autumn #JustWriteIt

Secrets

Storm

Everyone has secrets, right?
I feel like mine is dragging me down. Keeping me from reaching my full potential.

I want to tell her. I really do. I was getting ready to tell her at that moment. She felt the awkwardness between us too. Maybe if I had came clean, we'd be closer.

This weight would've been lifted off of my shoulders.

Instead, I keep my mouth shout and watch her walk away.

Tomorrow, I make up in my mind.

I'll tell her tomorrow

Maybe

I walk back to the school to find that the team isn't there.

Must be on the field. Guess practice started without me.

Walking to the field, I'm disturbed by non other than Mace.

Not to be mean or anything but I'm not in the mood for fake people.

"Hey Storm!" She greats with her fake perky voice.

"Okay, I'm just gonna get straight to the point. I saw you out there with Linux."

"Onyx", I correct her.

"Whatever", she replies with a hair flip.

"The point is, she's a loser. You deserve better", she retorts. Inching closer.

I inch backwards

"Anyhoo, you are mine from now on. Disagree and I'll tell the football team. They'd be ashamed of their player going out with a freak. I suggest you do everything I say unless you want to ruin your rep."

I stand here.
Shocked.
Out of words.

"I swear Storm. I can make her life miserable", she adds, an inch away from my face.

"Okay, I'll do it. Just don't touch her", I blurt out.

I'd do anything to keep Onyx safe.

"Good boy."
She pats my cheek and walks out of the main entrance.

Now I'm stuck in a labyrinth of lies and fake identities.

I don't know what to do...
