You know that feeling when you don’t want to deal with something so you choose to ignore it and lock your self up away from it.
Yeah… That’s exactly how I felt, and what I was doing, was precisely locking my self away from it.
Hiding… because I didn’t want to face it…. I didn’t want to face Seth.
“Tristen? Hunny… come on, tell me what happened” Gary gently rubbed soothing circles on my back, sitting beside me on his bed. He’d brought me back to his room, and since, has been asking me what happened but I couldn’t bring my self to repeat what I’d seen… what Seth had done.
How could I have been such a fool? To have agreed to something that seemed harmless – I should have been smarter; I shouldn’t have been so weak because in the end I was the one hurt – It always turned out this way… Always!
“I could just go and find the prick and get my answers from him, Tristen…. Did he hurt you?”
Yes.
“Tristen? What did he do to you – I can make it better…but only if you tell me” Gary insisted, his touch still there – comforting and warm. Darn I was pathetic, How could I have let things go this far?
“We all can make it better Skittles… please tell us” Sean and Coby were here too, having been there when Gary had found me.
They had tried to cheer me up with their clownish ways but I just couldn’t – I wanted to die… which was rash but I felt so betrayed, lost … alone.
“I trusted him and he just had to go and do that…” I chocked out, sniffing loudly before curling up tightly into Gary’s pillow letting out a small sob.
“Shh shh” Gary soothed, pulling me up from my fatal position and into his arms, tucking my head into the crook of his neck and holding me close. I sobbed into his shirt, clinging tightly as he rocked us gently, whispering sweet nothings into my ear till I calmed down a little.
“Tell me what he did” Gary breathed in my ear, I felt his hand come up and cradle the back of my head into his neck. I let out a shuddering breath about to tell him when loud thuds slammed against the door.
I felt Gary shift, gently moving me off his lap and onto the bed – but from there, I was picked up like a child and pulled into Sean’s lap - he hugged me tightly while Gary answered the door.
“Have you seen Tristen? I – He ran off and --- Tristen!” I tensed at the voice, peaking over to the door to see Seth standing there looking flushed and out of breath.
He looked relieved when he saw me and without hesitation, took a step into the room but Gary stepped in his way, glaring down at him.
“What the fuck did you do!?” He hissed, ignoring Seth’s attempts to get past him and grabbing a fist full of Seth’s shirt. “I warned you that if you hurt Tristen in anyway, I would come after you- Now what the Fucking Hell did you do?”
“Shit” Seth hissed, attempting to pry Gary’s hand from his shirt, his emerald eyes flickering up to meet mine desperately “Tristen… I’m sorry – Please, let me explain-“
“HEY! Don’t you dare talk to him Asshole!” Gary paused, his eyes narrowing at Seth. “You cheated on him… didn’t you?”
Coby perked up at this, his ice blue eyes widening before he glared at Seth, getting up quickly to join Gary’s side, leaving Sean to hold me tightly, guiding my face into his chest so I wouldn’t see.
“Oh you asswipe!! I’m gunna make you regret even looking at Tristen” I heard Coby hiss.
My heart throbbed painfully - As much as I wanted to hurt Seth for what he ‘d done, something inside of me just couldn’t bear him getting hurt…
