The nerd and the bad boy

03

It was finally 7th period I never thought this day would end. When the bell rang I grabbed my backpack and went to my locker. When I started walking away from my locker I saw Logan staring at me.

I grabbed my phone and headphones and started playing 17 by Avril Lavingne. I had to walk home because my mom works at the hospital and never really comes home because she stays with my dad. All of a sudden The Scientist came on and I started crying.

When I turned the corner I ran into someone. I said," I'm really sorry."

The person said," No it's my fault." I knew that voice. No. It can't be. My  ex-boyfriend.

"Scott."

"Zoey it's been a long time since last saw you. I missed you and I'm sorry." Long story short he cheated on me with Heather and sometimes he beat me.

"Why are you sorry Scott? Because you cheated on me and you did other stuff to me. You knew I loved you. I'm an idiot. The only reason you didn't want my parents knowing we were dating was because you were cheating the whole time and you didn't want them to date you. Please just leave me alone."

When my dad went into the hospital Scott was visiting his aunt. We became friends and started dating. Long story short he got drunk and high a lot and he got mad easily. So most of the time he took his anger out on me. About two months later he got better and stopped beating me. One day I went over to Heathers house and they were doing it.

I picked up my backpack and walked off. I'm so done with today. Why did he show up? When I got home I went upstairs and stared out my window. I saw Scott. He was at Logan's house. Logan's mom opened the door and hugged him what the hell. Logan came out and started talking to him. Am I missing something? I ran down the stairs and went outside.

I heard Logan saying," Today was hell dude."

"Why? It couldn't have been that bad."

"My best fri- well old one is in my first class. And I miss her but I found something out today and I think she hates me."

Logan's P.O.V.

It was after school and im sitting in my room. I cant stop thinking about Zoey why does she. I miss her so much. I used to like her and I still do. I feel like a jerk because I felt her and I don't know what happened to her dad. I hear the door bell ring and I get up and go downstairs but my mom already got it. It was Scott my cousin. I thought I never would see him again.

We went into the backyard and he asked me questions. I said," Today was hell dude."

"Why? It couldn't have been that bad."

"My best fri- well old one is in my first class. And I miss her but I found something out today and I think she hates me."

"Dude that's not possible."

"Well today she was a bitch today." Right when I said that I heard a door slam. "Scott why are you really here?"

"You know why. The boss needs you. You were the only guy who could deliever the stuff and getting the money with getting caught or your ass beat. Just come back or im dead."

"You already know the answer. No. My family needs me. This time listen and don't come back."

"You know he wont give up he will keep looking. Just because you dyed your hair and changed your name while you were there he knows you he knows everybody. And lets say you get your girl back he will come after her." Right when he said that I punched him in the face.

My mom came out and saw and had to drive him to the hospital and I broke his nose. He is so weak that was a light punch. When we got home my mom said," That is the third time you put someone in the hospital I thought you learned when you went with Drew. I guess you didn't. You are grounded for a month go to your room."

I don't care if I'm grounded because my mom always grounds me then forgets or doesn't care. Even if I'm grounded I sneak out.

When I got up to my room I opened the window. Zoey's room is right across from mine. I saw her lying on her bed crying and watching something on her laptop. I know she heard me when I called her a bitch. I didn't really mean it. I wanted to walk over there and say sorry but I cant. She's probably was so hurt because I said that. What is wrong with me, she is not a bitch. I just want to be her best friend I don't want to just be her best friend I want to be more.

I go over to my desk and write a note and I climb out my window and I run over to her front door. I knock on the door and leave the note. I run back and climb up the ladder to my room.
