Love me, love me not(EDITING)

Chapter 3

It's been two months, Vanessa or Gray haven't came back to their apartment. They've been at school, but we don't talk to them, but that doesn't mean Gray stopped trying. Connor and I got closer. We know just about almost everything about each other. He's so easy to talk to.
       Tess has been out of hand too. She hasn't been Tess lately. Gray has been trying to get me back. Ashely has been Ashely, and does what Ashely likes. I have a scar from where I fell on my head. It's little, but Connor calls it a battle scar.

Me: Hey
Connor: hey
Me: what's up
Connor: nm wbu
Me: same
Connor: have you seen Tess ?
Me: yes and no? I mean I know what she looks like
Connor: haha. Seriously where is she
Me: idk I haven't seen her since yesterday
Connor: hmm
Connor: Wanna hang out later?
Me: sure
Connor: MMP's Arcade?
Me: sure Uhh 6?
Connor: sure
Me: is Tess coming
Connor: if one of us sees here then yea
Me: Okay

      "Oh I have to get ready!" I run to the bathroom and hop in the shower. Well, not literally. My showers are usually like 10 to 15 minutes. But it's 5:15 so I only took a 5 minutes shower.
     Blow drying my hair took most of my time. I had gotten my hair highlighted. I always wanted highlights and I got them about a month ago.
      I wrapped my hot pink towel around me and started putting my makeup on. I go from foundation to blush to eyeliner and then to mascara. It was now 5:35. I run to my closet and pick out my other pair of Jean shorts that the pockets showed and then a black shirt that said 'Homies'. My brother got that for me before he got deployed. I grab put on my black with a little color of grey flats.
         I sprayed some of my Ed Hardy Perfume on and grabbed my car keys. I started to head towards the door but I forgot my wallet. Next thing I know, there was a knock. I put everything in my hoodie pocket and open the door.
          "What do you want Gray?" I ask, swallowing a huge lump of air in my throat. Don't cry. "I just wanted to say that I hope we can forget about everything and everybody. We can be together Chris, if we do that", he walks towards me and puts his hand on my cheek. His thumb slowly rubbing my cheek.
    I really wanted to slap him, but I went to fake mode.
"Really?" I say softly, acting relieved.
      "Really." He starts to lean in for a kiss, so do I. Instead of kissing him, I pushed his chest, and quickly locked the door. Then, I quickly run down the stairs to the parking garage.
        Gray was running after me. I admit, it was pretty fun. As I'm a few cars away from my car, I unlock it and run faster. I was in track in middle school and some two years of high school.
       "Chris! Wait!" He was getting closer.
I'm surprised I didn't lose a shoe yet. I finally got to my car. I jump in and start it. I really did jump in this time. He was two cars away so I backed up and drove.
    He ran after me. So I stopped and rolled down my passengers window, "What do you want Gray?" I put on my pilot sun glasses on. My brother always called them that.
       "You have to understand! I need you!"
I roll my eyes.
      "Please. Chris, please. Please come back to me. I never meant to hit you. I'm so sorry, please forgive me", he was begging me now.
    "Graduation is in a week. I'll have my answer Friday", I roll the window back up and drive out of the parking lot.
      I stopped at another Stop N' Go to text Connor.

Me: Hey I'm on my way do you want a drink or anything from Stop?
Connor: uh sure dp Plz?
Me: Mkay
Connor: I'm almost there

       It took me a minute to get the drink because there was a line. I could hardly wait to hang out with Connor. I mean, he's the only person who gets me at the moment.
          A few minutes later, I parked and pulled out my phone.

Me: hey I'm here
Connor: I'm inside

       I grab the drinks and get out my car. Sometimes, it's just not safe around here.
    "Hey!" Connor waves his hand around the hockey table.
       "One Dr.Pepper", I hand him his bottle. He pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to me.
"No, keep it", I say pushing his hand back.
      "Are you sure?"
"Yes I'm sure."
      I take a sip out of my Gatorade.
          "C'mon. Let's go win something", he walks over to 'The Claw'.
MMP's arcade is awesome, unless your with your guy best friend and it's really awkward.
      "So, I'm guessing you didn't see Tess?"
He looks up from the game, "Chris, I think I might break up with her."
     I look at him surprised, "Why?"
       He shrugs, "We just hit another rough patch, and I think I'm done for real this time." He runs his fingers through his hair while looking down.
     He was wearing his swim shorts and a white tee shirt. He almost looked like Gray's older brother, Kyler.
       I stare at him, "I'm leaving."
I start walking out. "Chris wait!"
         He grabs my wrist.  I shake him off and just walk to my car. He walks after me.
   "Chris-" I cut him off.
      "No, Connor. Don't bullshit me with this, 'Oh we hit a rough patch'."
   I unlock and get in my car.
      "Chris..", he leans his head in my window.
"Ill talk to you later", I said sternly.
      He takes his head out of the car and I drive off.
        A good two hours later, Vanessa came back. "What are you doing here? I thought you were with Gray", I glare at her as she sits down on her bed.
Her side was all purple and yellow. She had Alex Clare and Paul Walker posters everywhere on her side. I just had my favorite tv shows(Pretty Little Liars, Grey's Anatomy).
     She shrugged, and I didn't say anything. My phone kept on vibrating.
    "Whose that?" She looks at my phone from across the room. "It's none of your business."
I was so done with her. I wish I didn't even share a room with her anymore.
      "Whatever", she rolls over. I check my phone. I'm glad I got the Iphone6. It was better.
"3 New Messages from Connor." It lights up on the lock screen. I go through them.
