Say Goodbye

8.You're all I have

Chrene's P.O.V

It had been days since Ivan and I last talked. I've been avoiding him and it was killing me. He was my best friend. The one I shared everything with. The one I did everything with. I wonder what Vanessa and him were doing.

Where is she now? Was she his secret girlfriend? Or his other best friend?

Ivan had tried multiple times to get my attention but I ignored him.

I was mad at him.

No, I AM mad at him and still is.

Worse, today's my birthday and I have no one to celebrate it with. My parents are at work, as always and Heather and Logan are going on a date. Keeg, Tyler and Josh has football practices and that means Ivan has to go too.

I felt really dizzy this morning when I awoke and when I went to wash my face, the sink was full of something red. I took a look at the mirror and my nose was bleeding.

It was weird because my nose rarely bleeds and every morning when I wake up....I don't get dizzy or light headed. Maybe it's just the Ivan situation.

School was horrible. During all the classes -- which I have with Ivan, I stayed completely quiet and never spoke a word unless the teacher called on me. When Ivan sat beside me in science, I could feel my face burning with hate. He stared at me in all the classes. During lunch I came home and just sat on the couch and stared at the ceiling until the thirty minutes were over.

It was that bad.

Shutting my locker after grabbing my stuff, I saw Ivan approaching me. He had a varsity jacket on with his initials printed in blue by the right side of his chest. His face was flamed with red and when I examined his whole body as he walked towards me, his fists were clenched.

I turned away from his presence and walked out the door of our school. Just as I was about to open my car door his large hand grasped mine, yanking me and making my stuff fall out of my hands.

As if I could see through his skin, his teeth were clenched. His knuckles had turned white and his face was now a tomato. He pinned me to my car, hands on either side of me. His face was extremely close to mine. I could smell his strong cologne that I quite liked.

He was mad...angry...furious... you name it.

But I was scared and surprised. I've never seen him so mad.

"I-Ivan." I stuttered. My hands traveled to his chest, trying to keep a distance between us and stopping him from coming any closer. He suddenly moved away and dragged me by hand to his car, leaving all my belongings behind.

I was scared shitless so I followed behind him.

We got in his car and he drove us to his house awfully fast. When he had climb out, I didn't want to step out but I had no choice. He grabbed my wrist harshly and pulling on it he led us to his room.

I'm sure it would leave bruises on my wrist later on.

His mother and his brother Luke was in the house but he ignored them. I closed the door quietly behind me and as soon as I do that he turned around to face me.

"What's wrong Chrene?" He asks, gritting his teeth.

"Stop doing that...you scare me." I quietly say, twiddling my fingers behind my back as my head swooped down to stare at the ground. He immediately relaxed a bit but then it came back.

"Why did you ignore me!" He shouted the question at me, startling me also.

"I...I.." I opened my mouth to answer him but nothing else came out.
