In Love with the Bad Boy [editing]

~Chapter 12~

Things changed so much. Since that Saturday things are so weird. Even later on that day Shaun came back to my house to bring Alex. Weeks after the incident with Blake, I realized that he wasn't lying, I wanted to fix things with him but he said what he had to say.

Zeth has been away from him friends, from Andrew especially, he knew it wasn't his fault, but he always wondered how could Andrew have sex with a boy.

Both Blake and Andrew changed, they are back to being the selfish jerks they used to be known as. Players, a new girl each week, and every time it would brake my heart when I saw Blake kissing some girl. I had really strong feelings for him that I tried to change, but I just...couldn't.

They got in trouble with Cade, who still talked to us once in a while, but he seemed to have changed as well.

Matt hanged with us, when we told his why the other boys weren't with us anymore, he was shocked to hear about Zeth but told me the same thing as Zeth told me about Blake. I wished I could believe them but it was just too hard. Two months went by and things were still different. The people who I hanged out with were Mathew, Zeth, Henry, and Amanda. Yes the girl from Alex's art class does go to my school and we became friends.

My heart was still broken, and it would brake everyday even more.

Recently my mom has been sick, she was able to move around the house and all. But she couldn't go to work anymore, that got me worried.

I woke up early like any other day, to give me enough time to take a shower, get dressed, and have breakfast. After I took a shower, I dressed in some skinny jeans, a dark gray sweater with Micky Mouse on the front, I put on some matching gray converse.

Since I had some extra time, I curdled the ends of my ombré hair, yeah I dyed it a yesterday and I loved it. Finishing my morning routine with applying a light layer of mascara and some chap stick.

I walked down the stairs into the kitchen, greeting my dad with a kiss in the cheek and my mom with a hug.

"Hey mom, how do you feel?" I smiled at her motherly smile she always gave me in the mornings.

"I'm better than yesterday, is Zeth and Matt coming over today?" she turned around so she could continue cooking.

"I think so," I nodded my head, and took a seat next to my dad.

"Those two are really good guys. But what happened to Blake?" my dad was focused on the newspaper, but I bet he could tell that something was wrong, think about the fact that I stopped breathing, yes something was wrong. My parents of course noticed that I was no longer friends with him, they didn't ask anything though. Why did my dad want to know about him now?

"Well he's no longer my friend, please don't ask any questions dad, I'd rather not talk about it," I sighed.

"It's okay Bella, I'm sorry to hear that, Blake seemed to really care about you," my dad looked up from the newspaper and looked at the heavenly smelling plate that my mom placed in the table.

Yes he used to, not anymore.

Breakfast was silent, Alex shortly came to join us and had a small conversation with my mom. My little brother was soon going to be 5, he looked very excited about his party. I was happy for him, somehow my thoughts jumped to Blake. What if he still likes me? I shook off those kind of thoughts and said good-bye to my family, after that I was on my way to school.

"Bella over here!" Matt waved his around in the air, gesturing me to come over to his car. I laughed at him, and walked closer to them. Shaun, Henry and Zeth were already there.

"Hey boys," I smiled at each.

"Hi!"

"Hello!"

"'Sup?"

"Who's coming over to my house today?" I leaned against Matt's car.

"Me!" the three boys said.

"Can I come too?" another voice said. All of our heads turned to look at Cade.

"Nope," I grinned.

"Aw c'mon Bella, you seemed to be okay with that when I woke up next to you," Cade chuckled.

Omg he's turning into a little Blake.

Help mehhhh.

"That was like 2 months ago, and I felt bad for you. But if I didn't feel bad for you I would've probably push you from the balcony," I rolled my eyes.

"Cadie Boo!" a girl came bouncing to the place we were at, throwing herself at Cade, kissing him, while Cade was trying to pull her away, my boys were on the floor laughing at Cade's nickname.

"C-c-cadie B-boo, dude that's so-" Matt couldn't finish his sentence because he was laughing too much.

When everything was settled, by that I mean the girl under Cade's arm sending me dirty looks. Henry was playing on his phone, Zeth was making fun of Cade, and Matt was playing with my hair.

"Cade why are you with these freaks? Aren't you going to hang out with Andrew and Blake," the girl giggled and fluttered her eyes, obviously trying to get Cade's attention from me, because him and me were in an important conversation, such like his mom's health. He told me his mom did survive, so it was a relief.

"No today, Dani. But you can go with them. I'm going to stay with them," Cade kissed her cheek lightly.

"Seriously Cade!? How can you hang out with them!?" the girl pulled away from Cade.

"What did you have from breakfast? Bitch flakes?" I narrowed my eyes at her.

"Nice," Zeth and I fist bumped.

"See what I'm talking about? How can someone like a slut like her, and a gay faggot like him!" she stared screaming.

Oh hell to the fuck no. Call me ugly, stupid, whore, slut, loser, freak, bitch. But you will never, call my friend a 'gay faggot'.

I glanced at Zeth, who looked hurt, I could tell he was regretting telling people his real sexuality. I didn't feel hurt, I felt angry. He's the friend I always wanted and on the last weeks he became my brother. The next few moment of my life went by a blur, because when I realized what was going on I was pulled back by someone.

Cade's girl was lying on the pavement, with her nose bleeding, my fault. I might have punched her or not.

Someone was still holding me but I didn't want to look back, I still wanted to hit the bitch.

"Call my friend that once again and I'll break your whole face next time!" I yelled.

Whoa since when am I this violent?

"Sweetie why do you care so much about him!? He's a gay faggot and nothing else!" she was holding her nose.

Okay violent mode on.

"That's it!" I kicked whoever was behind me. I was let go free, whoever was holding me was on the floor. I did a quick glance and saw Henry groaning on the floor. The girl screamed and ran, I ran after but soon I was grabbed once again. Those hands felt so familiar around my waist, I knew exactly who it was. This time it wasn't the bitch who was trying to run away, it was me, I couldn't face him yet.

"Let. Me. Go!" I tried hitting his hands so he could let go of me, but it didn't help me on anything.

"Not until you calm down," he whispered in my ear. I took a couple of deep breaths and slowly felt the anger wash away.

If only he knew how I felt for him, if he knew that he gave sent shivers through my body with only saying a few words words.

"I-I am calmed down, just let me go. Please?" I begged, because I couldn't stand being so close to him anymore, he probably slept with every girl who he was with in the last few months.

He let go of me, I looked down as I went back to my friends and walked past him. None of us said nothing else for the next week, that was okay with me because I didn't want to talk to him.

My mom had gotten worse, but she refused to go the hospital, she said she was going to be fine, and we all know how stubborn she can get. I had to stay home one day to take care of her, Logan would usually stay since he had classes after I came home.

I was sitting in the living room waiting for Henry to pick me up, I was about to call him when I heard a honk outside the house. I opened the door to see a dark blue car waiting for me outside.

"Bella!" Zeth chirped from the car.

"Zeth!" I chirped back.

"Alright I get how it is, nobody cares about Henry," Henry fake cried.

"Yes we don't!" Zeth stuck his tongue out at Henry, which caused me to chuckle.

"Hashtag Forever Alone," Henry shook his head.

"Me too," I got in the back of the car and put my seat belt on.

"Me three!" Zeth changed the radio stations looking for a good song while Henry drove to school.

- - - - - - - - - - - - -

>>Seems like it was yesterday when I saw your face, you told me how proud you were but I walked away.

If only I knew what I knew today...

Ooooh-ooohh...

I would hold you in my arms, I would take the pain away. Thank you for all you've done!

Forgive all your mistakes, there's nothing I wouldn't do, to hear your voice again...<<

Hurt by Christina Aguilera started playing on the radio. Do you know that feeling that you get when a song describes your situation perfectly? Well I have that feeling right now.

'If only I knew what I knew today...' Those words were exactly the one I needed to hear.

"OMFG! I luv dat song!" Zeth swayed from one side to the other.

"Too bad we arrived huh?" Henry chuckled and turned off the radio. The car came to a stop and we walked together towards the building and meet Amanda at the front stairs.

"Heyyyy gurlfriends," she did a peace sign and smiled.

"'Sup? Didn't see you here yesterday," Zeth leaned against the lockers.

"My sister got sick so I had to take care of her. Bella how's your mom?" Amanda's face filled with worry and that made me happy knowing that even my friends cared about my own mother.

"She's gotten worse, but she refuses to go to the hospital," I crossed my arms across my stomach.

"Oh man that's bad. Can we visit her today?" Henry gave me his puppy eyes and pouted.

"You can visit her anytime you want," I nodded my head.

We stood there talking like we usually do, like what class we had first, how sexy Harry Styles was,homework and so on.

"But I swear Harreh is a sex gawd,"

We all turned to look at Henry.

"W-what?" Zeth said laughing.

"I..er, I mean Henry is a sex god, and he...uh...is fucking sexy," Henry blushed and looked down.

Laughter filled the place.

"Actually Harry and Henry would be a cute couple," Amanda's eyes light up and she chuckles at her own comment.

"O'em gee! I want to be with Nialler!" Zeth squeaked and we laughed again.

"Ziall," I said, we all laughed again.

"Hey guy I think we should go inside, the bell is going to ring soon, and I have PE so I dot want to be late," Amanda checked her clock.

"I agree, Zeth and I have science and the teacher yells a us if we're late," I said.

"Don't all teachers do that," Henry stood, offering a hand to help me up and I accepted it.

"True," Zeth nodded.

We went to our lockers to get the books we needed, and later meet again at the science lab.

"Hai!" Zeth grinned.

"Hello," I smiled.

Zeth acted happy, he was always hyper and active but in his inside I could tell he was sad about what happened with Andrew. I think it's the same with me, Zeth knows I like him, so does Matthew.

Shaun came into the room and sat down in our table.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Shaun ruffled his blonde hair, and put it to the side.

"Baby you got a new haircut!" Zeth cried out, students started coming to the room, one of them being Andrew.

"I did babe," Shaun winked at him.

We laughed. My group wasn't popular, but who needs popularity to be happy and have fun? Being popular makes you to act perfect, something that nobody can't be.

"It's so soft!" Zeth stroked Shaun's hair.

"Zeth stop, people are staring at us," Shaun grabbed his hand and pulled it away laughing.

"NEVER!" Zeth screamed, stroking his head once again.

"You guys are crazy," I laughed softly.

The teacher walked in in the room. He stopped at his desk and dropped off the papers he had in his hands.

"Good morning everybody," Mr. Brown said,"I will be passing out your science essay you made, I will be also passing out the partner lists. Yes we will be working on partners, as you know me you won't be able to choose your own partner because I already choose it for you and you won't be able to change it either, so if you're not friends with her or him, you better work alright because this is 30% of your grade,"

The teacher kept talking about the project, we had to an experiment. The topic was going to be chosen with our partners. At the end of the day we had to tell Mr. Brown what our topic was. It was kind of like an science fair, but without the 'fair' part. Just a partner work.

"Good job Ms. Brooke's," Mr. brown gave me a thumbs up and left leaving two papers in front of me.

The paper on the top had a A+ on it. But them one on the bottom had names on it. When I finally found my name on the list, I frowned.

"What is this crap!?" Zeth yelled out, good thing that the teacher was busy talking to other student.

"I'm not sure," I read over the name of my partner.

Andrew Jackson.

Out of all this people in my class I had to be with that jerk. What's wrong with the teacher?

I would rather be partners with the quiet weird that sits on the corner all alone. Andrew is well known of failing classes, most of them as least. And I wasn't letting this player be the reason my grade lowered. I sighed and look at Zeth.

"Good luck," he patted my shoulder before he left to go with his partner.

"Thanks, I'll need it," I turned to look at Shaun who gave me the same smile as Zeth gave me.

Here goes nothing.

"Please don't kill him, yet. He owes me 15 bucks," Shaun pleaded.

"Fine," I smiled and left my table, Andrew sat with the other popular boys.

"Hi Andrew," I mumbled and looked down.

"'Sup Bells, ready to work?" Andrew turned to look at me.

"I don't want to, but I have to," the others who were sitting at his table stared at me weirdly.

"Same here," Andrew nodded.

"Aren't you Blake's girl?" one of the boys asked.

"No, I will never be," my voice sounded hurt, but I wished it didn't.

"Then you're no longer off-limits?" all of the boys' eyes lighted up.

"What?" I frowned, making my eyebrows to scrunch down.

Off-limits? From what?

"Nothing, lets get to work," Andrew grabbed my wrist and pulled me away to some other table that only had another 2 pairs of partners.

"So what do we have to do?" Andrew looked lost.

"Seriously," I face palmed.

"Yea seriously," he said.

"Ugh, fine. I'll choose the experiment, and you will help me with it, okay?" I took out my notebook and started brainstorming ideas. Andrew nodded and started tapping his fingers against the table, making it hard for me to concentrate.

"Wait were in science?" Andrew stopped taping his fingers.

"Yes Einstein were are in science," I rolled my eyes.

Is he really this stupid or he's just faking it?

"Maye we could work with flowers," he suggested.

"Alright, I guess that's a start. What about watching the flowers grow under a different color of light? We can use 4 different pots with the same kind of flower but we can put a different color of see-through paper for 3 flowers, and the one that's left can be under the sun," it was my turn to suggest.

"For some reason I understood, and yeah I like that idea sounds fun," Andrew chuckled.

"Good," I looked at Zeth who was looking at me, I simply shrugged. He nodded and turn to face his partner.

"So, how's Zeth doing?" Andrew asked nervously.

"He's doing okay, he got over about the thing that you guys did, he went out with one of his friends and he said he actually enjoyed it. " I answered , I wasn't really sure of he was 'okay' sometimes I felt like he actually liked Andrew and he needed him. But he told me he went on a date with one of his friends from his guitar lessons.

"Oh..." Andrew looked down.

"Why? Are you okay Andrew?" I put hand over his shoulder.

"Bella, I like him. I like him more than a friend. I want him, but I bet he doesn't want me. I felt horrible when I woke up, he didn't deserve that but I was drunk and couldn't control myself," Andre confessed and looked at me. His eyes looked watery, I could see he was trying hard not to cry so I hugged him.

"I don't know if he does, he doesn't really tell me about that. But I feel like he does, Zeth knows it wasn't your fault of what happened, he actually blames himself for being drunk," I pulled away to look at him.

"Could you ask him?" he started playing with his fingers and looked away.

"Nope, he would know you asked me to do that. You should talk to him, somehow... he's ignoring you so it's going to be hard," I glanced at Zeth who looked worried, he wasn't looking at me he was looking at Andrew, but his gaze fell on me.

'What?' he mouthed and pointed at Andrew.

'Later,' I replied. Zeth still looked worried but gave in with a small nodd.

"You're going to tell him, right?" Andrew spoke.

"Yeah, he's my best friend I can't lie to him. He would probably understand if I told him that you told me not to tell anybody, but he won't stop bothering me if I tell him that kind of excuse," I shuffled a few papers in my science binder.

"I know, I don't care if you tell him the truth. I want him to know how I feel about him," he pleaded.

I sighed.

"I will."

"Thank you so much!" Andrew smiled.

And that's pretty much how my science class went, at the end Andrew and me went to the teacher and told him our experiment. After that we got put of class. I had History next. It went by fast, I didn't pay much attention though, the shock of Andrew being gay were still in my head, and I was determined to get the truth from Zeth no matter what. If he does then I have no idea what could happen, what if things went back to normal? I bet Andrew would try to be more than friends with Zeth, but what if Zeth doesn't like him?

Life is so weird sometimes.

I put my stuff away and met Shaun halfway to the cafeteria.

"Hello!" he put his arm around my waist.

"Hi," I smiled doing the same.

"How did things go with Andrew?" Shaun's eyes were full of curiosity.

"You know curiosity killed the cat," I said.

"I'm not a cat though," he grinned.

At that moment Andrew and Blake, with a girl under his arm, approached us.

"Don't forget," Andrew stopped to tell me.

"Don't worry I won't," I nodded and told him to go away.

"Thank you so much!" he kissed my cheek.

My cheeks turned pink, I looked up to see a very confused Blake, the worst thing happened then, he caught me looking at him.

Oh my god, his eyes.

I looked away biting my lower lip.

"You have a lot to explain," Shaun started walking and I followed. We found Zeth and Matt leaning at the cafeteria's entrance.

"What took you so long?" Matt asked.

"My baby!" Shaun pulled away from me and went to hug Zeth, who hugged him back.

We need to ship their names together.

"You left me for him?" I wiped away an invisible tear.

"Don't worry, you still have me!" Matt put his arm around my shoulders, I wrapped my arm around his waist.

"See Shaun! He's way better than you," I smiled.

"I am hurt now," Shaun fake gasped and wrapped his arm around Zeth waist's, my best friend doing the same.

We walked in the cafeteria, people were used to see Zeth and Shaun together like that, they always joked around each other. But this time I think it was too much, I glanced at Andrew who looked furious.

Hell he does like him, scary Andrew staph.

"Boys secret time! To the back table!" we all separated and ran towards our 'table of secrets', that really was just in the back where nobody could listen to us. Not that anyone would care about our conversation but you'll never know. We each took our own seat.

"What do you have?" Matt smiled.

"Okay so as you may know, I'm partners with Andrew, so this morning he told me he likes Zeth. More than friends, he felt terrible for what he did with you because he knows you didn't deserve that. Plus he didn't know you were gay back then, so he thought that's why you were mad," I rambled a little more of how he suddenly became sad when he heard Zeth went in a date with other boy.

"He likes me?" a smile grew on his face.

I was expecting a 'I wasn't mad at him because of that... blah blah blah' or a 'he got upset!?' But nope the only thing he cares about is Andrew liking him.

I mean I would've done the same.

"Yup," I nodded.

Zeth continued smiling, he didn't say anything, he was speechless.

"And I think most of you know this, but I like Shaun's brother, like, a lot," I looked down.

"I knew ittttt!" the boys chorused, they sounded like little girls.

"Of course you did," I laughed.

"Where's Mandy and Henry?" Zeth seemed to have recovered from from the recent news, but he still had that smile on his face.

"They joined the art club, those two do such a cute couple, much better than Ziall," Shaun smirked and waited for Zeth's reaction.

"Oh heel naw boi!" Zeth moved his finger in a 'Z' shape. We laughed, I wasn't really hungry but Matt bought a brownie from the vending machine, yeah our school is awesome like that, and we all shared.

"I love brownies," Zeth sighed.

"You love a lot of things, starting with your Jackson lover," Shaun nudged his shoulder.

"Shut up," Zeth blushed and looked down.

"Get used to it babe, we're going to be like this until he asks you out," Matt chuckled.

"He's not going to ask me out," Zeth turned serious put of the sudden.

Bipolar jerks, kiss already.

"How do you know? Shit happens, but life goes on," I hugged him.

"I know, but everybody thinks he's straight. He can't ask me out," Zeth buried his face on my neck, I felt a tear fall from his eye. At that moment I stood up.

"Andrew William Jackson! You made the person you fucking like cry! I will cut your hair unless you apologize!" everybody turned to look at me, so much for not liking attention.

"I-I did!? I'm so sorry! I don't even know what I did, but I'm really sorry!" Andrew looked at the floor, of course he didn't want anybody to know who he likes.

"Good," with that I walked away and sat down in my table.

"Carry on your normal life people, there's not an angry girl who made bad boy Jackson apologize," Zeth stood up and yelled, that happy smile appeared in his face again.

The cafeteria was filled with noise again.

"Thank you," Zeth smiled.

"What are friends for?" I winked at him.

"He seriously cares about you, I've never seen him like that with anyone," Matt's jaw dropped.

"Yup," Shaun agreed with a nod.

"He got the smexy boy," Matt did a peace sign and a duck face.

"Lucky, let's get going Matthew we have PE next," I stood up and waited for Matt to finish his brownie, I swear this boy eats all day.

Oh great I almost forgot the bad boy had PE with me.

Maybe that's how I will die, at PE because Blake looks really hot in those shirts.

Damn I do like him.

"Hurry up!" Matt pulled me by the arm and ran.

PE here I come.
