We Will Be okay

Chapter Eight: The Past Is The Past

A/N: The past two chapters are short because honestly, Im at a crossroad. I've got writers block and don't want this story to turn into shit so I'm giving myself a tiny break of 2 days to clear my head and makes sure that this story goes the way I want it. Xoxoxo

"Quit playing!! Okay my turn now"

He smiles at me for a bit "go on then"

I clap my hands feeling excited for some reason. I guess it's because the guy who everyone thinks they know is going to actually open up about some things.

"What happened with you and Derek earlier at Sal's?" His smile slightly falters and he starts to play with his fingers.

"You were there?"

I nod and let him continue

"He hit me only because he cares about you, he cares a fucking lot. That's why I need to talk to you. Guess you're wish is coming true, I need to say sorry"

I shake my head and smile at him and when I open my mouth to say something back he taps my knee "Just Shut up and let me talk"

I lightly push him and he pats the space next to him indicating for me to sit. I get up and lower myself so that I'm sitting next to him. We're close but not close enough to touch, thank goodness

"I meant shut up and let me talk please. What I have to say next, I can't say it to your face. Directly. I don't know why , I just can't so sorry if you think I'm being rude."

"Just say what you need to Vincent"

He takes a breath and wipes his face with both hands, before looking up at the ceiling. Weird habit I guess.

"I like Tabitha I really do. She's all I know. She knows most things about me, what I like to eat, what I do behind closed doors. Most normal shit like that. So yeah truthfully when someone messes around with her I enjoy it but at the same time I want to beat that fucker up. She was pissed. No wait. She was beyond pissed at what happened today and shamefully she bribed me using sex. She told me to come and put you in your place and I did that exactly, I'm a dick I know but it happened."

He continues to look at the ceiling and my eyes start to water now, thinking about all the shameful shit he threw my way in that classroom, He doesn't even spare me a glance before he carries on

"What I said in that classroom I meant. I meant every word in that exact moment"

What the fuck? Why am I even listening to this bullshit again I look at him about to stand up or slap him in the face

But then he sighs again before carrying on, his eyes are closed now

"You see I don't know what it's like to be normal or kind. My whole life I've been surrounded by rich fuckers and rude ones too. I don't know a life outside of my own. But then you told me about your life, about Danny and that shocked me to my core, your world doesn't exist in mine. When Derek came to talk to me I already knew that what I did was wrong. I don't know I guess it's just in our nature to feel what's right and what's wrong. Skip all of the bullshit and downright simple getting to my point; I'm sorry. I'm really fucking sorry. I've never had to say sorry so I hope this will do"

I see his adams apple bob up and then down.

I wanna lick it damn it.

"Oh and all that shit that I said. Now I don't believe a fucking word. At that exact moment yeah but now, afterwards. not a thing"

Okay Well how the hell do I respond to that?

I do what I do best and decided to put it away and move on.

I get up and brush the back of my pants to rid of any dirt and at this he opens his eyes and stares up at me. I lift my head up a bit scared that a double chin might be showing.

Real attractive I know

I reach my hand out and give it to him to take, he looks up at me in surprise but places his hand in mine anyway and I help him up the best way that I can because damn he's freakishly tall and heavy

"The past is the past Vincent. Thank You. One question though. Why do you keep cheating on Tabitha if you actually care about her?"

My stomach knots as I say these words. Yeah i'm jealous. Bite me

He shrugs but I can tell that he is bothered by this question

"Because she's hotter when she's mad"

I stop and stare at him

What in the world!! This has too be the most dumbest excuse

"Is that the truth? Is that really the reason why you sleep with girls and not only break Tabitha's heart but their hearts too?"

He looks at me in confusion

"Most of my one nights stands don't gain feelings, they know that it's just a one off. Tabitha always comes back anyways" He say this like it's no big deal

I'm shocked that this guy only a few seconds ago was apologising too me. This is the Vincent that everyone knows. The slutty one.

I want to blow him up, but then again it's none of my business.

Wait

But then again I'm a girl and I look out for all me fellow girls

Please don't say something that will make me hate you after I say this

"Vincent, There have been some girls who end up falling for you. Take Sally Jensen for example, she's my age and she stopped coming to college for a whole week because she was that depressed that you didn't call her back"

I look at him trying to see how he will react.

He looks at me like he doesn't give a shit and fucking shrugs again "Look I let them know before I fuck them. It's no big deal. Don't ruin a good mood."

Fuck this

"This is exactly what you were talking about!! You don't know how to be normal or kind and you wanna know why? It's not because of all these bad people in your life, it's because you don't even try!!"

I look at him and his face shows no expression. nothing. zilch

"You're excuse for sleeping around is so typical. I'd expect that from the guy that everybody knows. Not from the guy that was sitting in my hallway a couple of seconds ago. Please just try to see where I'm coming from"

I grab his shoulders but he brushes off my hands, a scowl on his face

"I like you Evie. You're cool, but I came here to apologize to you not for you to get into my business. I know we're meant to be playing this question game and I thank you for telling me your lifestory but truthfully I just don't like Tabitha as in I have no feelings for her and I don't want to end it with her cause it'll break her, so there, that's your answer. Just stay out of it and we're cool."

He walks away with his hands in his pockets and then turns around to face me

"I'm going now. I'll get your number of Blondie because I doubt you would want to give it to me right now, So I'll text you and we can sort something out for Saturday. I'll see you around, Evie. Thanks for understanding me, tell big boy in there I said later"

Just like that he closed up and walked away

I've forgotten every exchange or word that was spoken between us the past couple of hours.

A/N: Chapter Song: Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley (Miley Cyrus' version is pretty cool as well)
