CHAPTER FIVE// YOU'VE BEEN GETTIN' AFTER IT
He looks at me with a pained expression, regret filling his eyes. "I never meant to hurt you."
"Yeah, no one ever seems to, but they do anyway," I say.
"Hey, that's different!"
"Wirklich? Wie denn?"
[Really? How?]
Grayson sighs and runs his fingers through his hair.
Around the age of 14...
"You're not coming?" I asked, tears filling my eyes.
She shook her head with a grim expression. "I'm sorry, Schatzi, but I can't come to your competition."
I nodded. "Okay."
"Is that fine?"
I nodded, the lie forming easily. "Yeah," I said, sniffling. "It's fine."
Her expression immediately lightened. "Ich liebe dich!" she said, as she turned and walked out the door.
[I love you!]
"Yeah, doesn't seem like it," I muttered, grabbing my duffel bag to text Aubrey.
Sie kommt nicht. –W
[She's not coming]
Tut mier leid! Sollte meine Mama dich ab hollen? –A
[I'm so sorry! Should my mom pick you up?]
Ja. –W
[Yes]
Just like always, I thought to myself. Someone always hurts me.
"And what makes it different? What makes you different?"
"It's different because— "
"Hey, Willow! Get in here!"
I sigh, looking at Grayson. "We're not done with this conversation."
He nodded his jaw taut before I pushed myself off the bench and went back into the treehouse. Everyone was gathered in the main area, and Aubrey was holding a box. I raised an eyebrow skeptically, my eyes flying towards Jaq. She just smiled and gestured towards the box Aubrey was holding.
"What is it?" I asked, approaching her.
"A present," she answered. She handed it to me before saying "Open it."
I took the box and sat down at the counter. The box was a small wooden one with cute engravings on it. I slide it open to reveal passes
"You got me indoor skydiving tickets?" I ask excitedly, looking to Aubrey.
"Yup, and I'm going with," she said, a smile on her face.
"And me, too!" Riley said. "But not that party-pooper," she said, wrinkling her nose at Landon.
"Sorry," he said, rolling his eyes. "I've got an anniversary to celebrate."
"You have a girlfriend?!" I asked, astonished.
"Yes, I do, happily for almost six years," he says, crossing his arms and sticking his tongue out.
"Umm, aren't you supposed to be 24 years old?"
