Chapter 14

I don't want to get out of bed

I don't want to go to school

I don't want to face Tessa.

Those were the only thoughts going through my head when I woke up. I somehow knew that Tessa was going to try something else, but I had to face her.

I got to school and went to my locker to grab my books, no sign of her. I went to the bathroom and it was completely empty. Maybe she's in class? Hopefully.

Soon, it was lunchtime and I headed towards the cafeteria with a smile on my face. I grabbed a tray and started piling food, but when I turned around to go towards the table the sight in front of me was not something i wanted to see.

Tessa.

Tessa was sitting on Joe's legs and kissing him. Joe was going with it.

I couldn't breathe

My tray dropped to the floor and the whole room was looking my way. I kept shaking my head with tears in my eyes and ran out of the room as fast as humanly possible.

I didn't know where I was going, all I knew was that I wanted to go as far as possible.

-third person's pov-

When Joe saw who everyone was looking at, he couldn't move.

His girlfriend, with red eyes and with sadness and rage clear on her face. He didn't move, he just sat there, with Tessa on his legs and Eliza running away. Maybe forever.

Eliza ran and ran and ran before her legs gave out underneath her and she was on her kness, on the grass, sobbing into her hands.

•Eli's pov•

I stopped crying and just felt numb.

I lied down on the grass and looked up at the gray sky, hoping that the past fifteen minutes didn't happen and it was all a nightmare. A horrible nightmare.

I got up and headed home, with grass in my hair and tear streaks on my face.

When i got home Tracy was smiling, but when she looked at the state I was in, the smile disappeared being replaced by a sad expression.

"Eli! What's wrong?" she hurried towards me and wrapped her arms around me in an embrace.

"Everything" i whispered before starting to cry into her shoulder while she was rubbing my back saying it would be ok.

"Come with me sweety" she took my hand in hers and took me to my bedroom, when we got in she closed the door and we sat on the bed.

"Would you like to tell me why you're crying?" she asked with a small smile on her lips.

I nodded my head and looked at the floor "When I went to the cafeteria today I... I was just about to walk to my table when.."

"Honey just let everything out and I'll be listening"

I nodded again "I just got my food and was about to head towards my table when I saw Tessa on Joe's legs kissing him. I felt horrible so I went out of the school to get fresh air, and that's how I'm here now" I stopped talking and there was complete silence in the room.

Tracy's hands were in fists and her eyes were closed trying to calm herself.

"Did you talk to him after?" she said looking at me. I slowly shook my head no and before she could say anything the doorbell rang and she stood up.

"I'm so sorry dear" she said with sad eyes and walked towards the stairs after closing the door.

I fell back onto my bed and heard Joe talking to his mom.
