Chapter 23: What do you do when you panic? Slam the door of course.

Jaws dropped, eyes bright and wide, unmoving. That was the threes current position. Well I mean besides Belle who couldn't have pulled up into her neighborhood and driveway fast enough.

"What the shit is going on right now?" Belle asked to herself and the two boys nodded their heads furiously. I just sighed and shook my head.

"No, you can't just lay a bomb on us like that and not explain!" Belle just about demanded. "Yeah!" Jake jumped in trying to help causing all of us to look at him in a way for him to shut up.

"There's nothing left to talk about, Belle." I exasperated and reached over about to open the door when she locked it.

"No." She demanded and I stared into her eyes and I sighed slumping against my seat. "Yeah, so what. I'm adapting feelings for, Ace and they're just one- sided." Jake and Tyler rolled their eyes. "Shut up, Lay." Giving Jake a look. "Excuse me?" He shook his head and held up a hand.

"Are you really that naive? A blind person can see the sexual tension the both of you have radiating off of one another." Rolling my eyes I shook my head. "Nah, Ace, he's confusing he shuts me out a lot and sometimes I swear we have a moment but he seems to realize it's me and snaps out of it." 

It was Tyler's turn to roll his eyes. "Ace, he's stubborn and he probably thinks that he's protecting you in some weird way." Rolling my eyes I shrugged. "I don't even care, I just needed to be away from him for a little. Even if Ace did reciprocate the same feelings, things right now are far too complicated. He's still keeping things and quite frankly I am too." 

No one spoke but all looked like they were about to deny it. I held up my hand and grabbed my duffle bag and grabbing the door handle. I gave Belle a look and reluctantly she unlocked the car door. I slammed it shut and walked up her driveway and to her house.

Her spare key was hiding in a brick that her dad like cut out. So, pulling that out, I opened her door and shut it seeing as no one had followed me in. 

I walked upstairs and to a spare bedroom throwing the bag down and sitting on the bed. Sighing I tried to ignore the throbbing pain in my chest left over from our fight. I laid down and looked at the ceiling letting my mind trail over nothing.

Until it stopped on Ace. 

Getting up from the bed, I threw my phone on my bed and left, the annoying ringing noise dying down as I got further down the stairs and out the door. Belle's car was gone telling me that she took the boys somewhere or went back to school.

I walked down the street letting my feet drag me to the only place that had ever become familiar to me. The gates of the cemetery were locked and furrowing my eyebrows I shook the gate. "What the fuck?" I muttered to myself trying to see if it would just magically unlock.

Sighing, I just decided to jump it. Like what they gonna do? Arrest me for visiting my dead father? Like sue me then, bitch.

I pulled myself up reaching the top and as I went to jump down, my foot got twisted in the fence and I fell down scratching my knees and hands. "Ow, fuck." I rubbed my bleeding hands and then knees, pushing the dirt from them. The stinging pain made me hiss in pain. Deciding it was the best it was getting, I continued the way to my dads tombstone and sat down behind it resting my back against it, ignoring the growing pain in my knees.

"I don't know what I'm doing." I breathed out a sigh and rested my head on the back of it, getting more comfortable. Closing my eyes I rubbed my temples to try and ease the stress. "I'm staying with, Belle now, things were getting to complicated. So, I ran. But, in my defense, I ran because he already started to shut me out so it was better for me to leave him before he left me.
