My Badboy

Chapter 18

Brittany POV

I wake up with sweat covering my face. I haven't had a nightmare since almost a month ago. I have been going to therapy to help with it and they did, and I didn't have to go anymore because I didn't have any nightmares anymore. But this is so odd why I'm having one all of a sudden.

I still remember that night. That night when I couldn't save my dad. My mom! My mom even blamed me for not saving him. She blamed me. Because I didn't try hard enough. That I let him die.

I go and get ready since its time for school and once done I look in the mirror. I look very tired and pale. I'm shaking a lot. Then I realize it. It's the anniversary of when my dad died. 8 years ago today, my dad died in a car accident. 8 years ago today, I didn't save him. 8 years ago today, I lost everything I had. I lost my family, my dad, and I lost myself along the way. If I would have saved my dad 8 years ago today, he would still be here with me.

As I get in the school I walk in trying not to fall. I get to first period and plop down, laying my head against the cold desk.

I feel a presence behind me and I look up. Blake is standing there with a grin, while he sits down. He looks at me and says loudly, "You know you don't have to brag about sleeping with me last night" he says. Everyone's eyes look at us and some gasp and some send glares.

"W-what?" I ask him trying to hint to him to not say anything.

He must not get it, because he does it again. "You don't have to pretend to not remember. It's OK. You weren't too bad. I've had worse."

How dare he say that. We didn't even have sex together. I can't deal with this. Espically not today.

"Just be quiet" I say in a weak whisper.

"Whatever" he says turning around to listen to the teacher.

What is his problem? We never slept together. For all I knew, I thought we were friends. I guess I guessed wrong. I guess my only friends are Maria and Liam.

Liam and Maria are the only ones who know about my past.

The bell rings and I go to my locker for the books I forgot. Unluckily, I have a locker next to Blake, which he is there right now. Great.

I open my locker up ignoring him and as I shut my locker, the tardy bell rings. I groan not having enough energy to go to the office, then all the way on the other side of the school.

I take a step and my legs collapse under me not wanting to take my strength anymore.

I fall to the ground with a cry. I land hardly on my butt and I lay my back on the lockers. Blake and I are the only ones in the hall and he looks down at me. His once cold expression, turns to an expression that is worry.

He leans down next to me. "Bri! Are you OK?" He asks me laying his hands on my arm.

I nod. I swallow and try to get up. I fall down again. "Do you need help?"

"No" I whisper, not having enough energy to talk.

He helps me anyways and I don't protest. He leans me on him and takes me to the parking lot. "Wh-where are we going?" I ask trying to raise my voice a little, but it comes out again as a whisper.

"I'm taking you home" He says in a voice like I was supposed to know that.

I so knew that by the way. He takes me home and outs me to bed.

"Um, thanks." I tell him not looking at him.

"Yeah, your welcome." He says and walks out the door. I hear his car roar alive and the sound soon fades away. I jump out of bed, get my shoes on, and get in my car. I go to the flower shop.

"Excuse me, may I get red roses please?" I say to the person behind the counter.

He goes into the back room and gets them ready. I still feel dizzy but I hold on to the counter. As I'm waiting I hear the bell on the door ring.

"Brittany?"
