Chapter 8
The Morning After
I wake up on the floor. My head is pounding and my back hurts. I sit up an clutch my head.
"That bad huh?" Erik says. I look around and see him on the couch, watching tv. "You have fun last night?"
"Uhh..." Is all I manage to say.
"You want any breakfast? I can make you some bacon." He says. I slowly nod and he gets up. He stops and looks at me. "How bad is your hangover?"
"Pleas, dont talk to loud... Its bad." I say.
"Ah I see." He says. He stomps into the kitchen. I hold my head.
"Stop!" I say. He opens the cabinet and grabs a pan. I start to stand up slowly. He slams the cabinet door and I fall down with an "Ow!"
"Now, do you want a glass of milk with your bacon or a glass of Gavins Cum?!" He says. I look up at him.
"What?" I ask. He storms over to me and lifts me up.
"I know your cheating on me! I heard about last night with Gavin behind the dumpster!" He yells into my face.
"Nothings secret at this school is it?" I ask.
"NO!" He yells. I close my eyes and he drops me to the floor. "Now, I'm gonna ask you. Who would you rather be with? Gavin...or me?" I stare at him. He stares back with cold eyes.
"Uh.." I utter.
"What? What was that?" He says. He holds his hand up to his ear saying he cant hear me. He crouches down next to me. He holds my chin with his hand and asks me to choose again. I close my eyes.
"Whatever, Im outta here." He says. He lets go of my chin and my head falls to the floor. I hit my nose and start crying. Not just because of my nose, but because I just lost someone very important in my life. He opens the door and Gavins at the other end. Erik pushes him outta the way and moves.
Gavin comes in and sees me on the floor crying. He rushes in and leans in next to me. He pulls me closer to him and and cuddles me on the floor. I cry into his shirt.
"Shh, its ok, its ok." He says. He rubs my back as I cry.
"Who did you tell?" I ask when I stop crying.
"What are you talking about?" Gavin says.
"About last night! Who did you tell?" I repeat.
"Sadie." He says.
"Who the hell is Sadie?" I ask.
"My girlfriend." He replies.
"You have a girlfriend and you slept with me?" I yell. He nods. I push him off of me and walk out of the room. I go to the bathroom and to the same stall I cried in the first couple days of school. I text Ciara.
Me-I cant take it here anymore.
Ciara-Y not boo?
Me-Everyone here is either an asshole, pervert or both!! Im soooooo done.
Ciara-Then why don't u jus quit??
Me-Cuz...I was hoping to get a job in Pharmacy...and if I leave they'll jus c how weak I am...u sed so urself
Ciara-Yea ik, but I hate to c u in pain.
Me-Another reason was 2 get away from Tyler and meet another guy...which has failed on several occasions
Ciara-Then how about u jus meet a guy, then drop out halfway through the year?
Me-That literally only gives me 3 1/2 weeks
Ciara-Gurl ik u...u a slut
I laugh at her comment. I tell her goodbye and leave the stall. Before I leave I remembered to ask a question I forgot to ask for a couple months now. I text Marcelo: Why did you kill Daniel? I wait for a couple minute and I feel m phone buzz. Marcelo: I didn't...Tyler did. I gasp and put my phone back in my pocket. Rage sweeps through my body and I feel as if I would do anything for anything. As I leave the stall I see Erik washing his hands in the sink. I look down at the promise ring he gave me.
"Hey Erik?" I say. He turns around to look at me. "Guess we both lied about something." I take the ring and drop it in the toilet. I flush and walk out of the bathroom and down the hall to my dorm. I go through my drawers and pull out all my jeans. Erik comes walking into the room.
"You must think you all that don't you?" He says. I don't answer him. I get a pair of scissors from the kitchen drawer and start to cut my jeans. "I guess you didn't hear me so i'll repeat it. You must think your all that don't you?" I still don't answer and continue to cut my jeans. He comes up to me and spins me around. He squeezes my hand until I drop the scissors on the floor. "Don't act stupid, answer me."
"I'll give you three seconds to let go, or i'll kick your ass." I say.
"You wont do shit." He says.
"You must not know me." I say. I put my leg behind his and pop it. His leg gives out and I push him to the floor. He pushes me off of him and I get up.
"Fuck off, im done with your childish games. Go find another boy toy to play with. Obviously what I thought of us was wrong. Please, forgive me of everything I gave you. Have a nice life." He flicks me off and walks out. I let myself fall to the ground and cry. I look across the floor and see the scissors. I pick them up and walk back into the kitchen. I open the kitchen drawer and see a big knife in there. I swap the scissors for the knife and go lay on my bed. I have a quick last minute thought but brush it off. I put the knife on my left wrist and side it across. I wince and groan in the pain. I try to do it to the other one but I drop the knife on my bed. I put my head on the pillow and let out sigh before I close my eyes for good.
