Never Forgetting What She Did

chapter 10- forgiving him

The weekend went by fast. Friday I got sort of abused. Saturday Ember and Michael started dating. Sunday I slept in and ate food all day and read of course. I mean a girl has to love her books. Anyways I got ready for school and my car won't be out of the shop until Thursday so I have to walk. I didn't bother to knock on Adams door. I'm kinda scared of him. Now that I know that he has a dark side who doesn't care if he hurts girls. I don't think we're gonna be very good friends.
*Lunch*
I sat down between John and Evan. Ember and Michael sat on the other side of us. I was ignoring what they were talking about to look for Adam because I haven't seen him all day. I look at the table he usually sits at. He's not there. I look down at my wrist and pull my sleeve up to see it. Its now purple and doesn't look any better. It still hurts like crap and I had no idea that it would be this bad. I saw Evan out of the corner of my eye looking at my wrist so I quickly covered it up.
He whispered in my ear.
Evan- who did it?
I swear he's freaking telepathic because if anything bad happens to me he can tell but the others can't. Its not that they don't care about me it's that they don't care what I look like so they don't pay attention to what I wear. Evan is different though.
I whisper back to him.
Keegan- n-no one. I got mad at a football game and slammed my hand off the table.
Evan- your lying.
I bit my lip and squeezed my eyes shut knowing that I was busted. I open up my eyes.
Evan- Keegan tell me who did it.
I sigh and tell him.
Keegan- Adam.
I looked up at his face to see his eyes turn to fire.
He wasn't whispering anymore instead he yelled.
Evan- WHAT!?
Keegan- Evan your causing a scene!
I hiss at him. It was true everyone was looking at us now. Just my luck.
Evan- THATS ABUSE KEEGAN!!
Keegan- I know that I'm not stupid!! And I couldn't stop him!!
Evan- where the hell is he!?!!
Keegan- he's not here!!' Just calm down PLEASE!
He looked down at me and calmed down then he sat down. Everyone but me and him looked confused.
*Next day*
I walked up and knocked on Adams door. Molly answered.
Molly- oh sorry Keegan he just left.
Keegan- oh ok thanks Molly
Molly- no problem.
I walked away.

Ok so he is going to school.

*eighth period*

Holy baloonie where is he?! His mom even said he went. What the heck? You know it doesn't even matter. My life is better without him.
*Friday*
I got my car back yesterday. I was driving home right now Just lost in my own thoughts.

Evan is still mad at Adam because the bruise is still there and he wants to kill him. I want to confront him and ask him why he did it. But...this whole entire week.....he didn't....show up.

I stopped by a gas station to get some more gas. I went into the gas station to pay and there he was...Adam Green was right in front of me. His back was facing me. I heard him ask for a pack of cigarettes....gross. I hate it when people smoke. Probably because that's the one bad thing my mom did. But she stopped when she got pregnant with me. Adam turned around and his blue eyes struck me. It was like lightning...I know weird right?
He past me and didn't say anything. Hmph...fine then. I paid for the gas and I went back outside and pumped the gas in my car. Once I was done I was about to get in my car when someone said my name. I could tell it was Adam.
Adam- Keegan?
I turn around slowly to face him.
Keegan- w-what?
He came closer to me and then he reached for my arm and grabbed it before I could pull it back. He pulled the sleeve up that was hiding the bruise. He looked upset and worried. He examined it and then looked at me still holding my wrist.
Adam- I-I did that?
It sounded like he said it to himself but I still heard him.
Keegan- Yeah y-you did.
He swallows hard and traces a finger over the bruise and it started to sting and I flinched and then his fingers quickly stopped tracing the bruise.
Adam- dammit...I didn't know it was going to be this bad. I'm sorry Keegan...I know your not going to forgive me but I want you to kno-
Keegan- no I-I forgive you.
I had no idea why I said that. It just slipped out. But something told me to forgive him. He looked into my eyes. He looked shocked.
Adam- Really?
Keegan- Yes really.
He gave me a small smile.
Adam- I won't ever hurt you again...I promise.
His hand intertwined with mine. I got a bubbly sensation in my stomach and I froze. He chuckled lowly from my reaction.
Adam- Just so you know I don't like that Seth guy...be safe with who you're with ok?

Pft...says the person who hurt me and wasn't being careful.

I just nodded and he slowly let go of my hand and walked away.
