Stuck with you

Chapter 4 part 1

The smell of beer and smoke filled my nostrils. I cringed. Blake, I get that you like drinking beer and smoking. But, could do us all a favor? And turn it down a notch. Your breath is really bad.

Mark snapped his fingers in front of my face, trying to get my attention. " Char? Charlotte? Are you there?

A moment of silence passed. I didn't respond.

"Oh, I get it. You're too impressed with my amazing cologne to speak. Yeah, this cologne and my good looks tend to make girls fall for me. You could be the next one. "

"Ok, let's get three things out of the way. Two things that I need to tell you. Number one, you're cologne is so strong, I gagged when you came near me. So, I suggest you stopping wearing it. Number two, that cologne will not make girls fall for you. Number three, we are never getting back together after what you did to me."

He clutched his hand to his shirt. He closed his eyes, " Ouch. Baby, don't go crushing my dreams like that.

" Sorry, I just couldn't help myself."

"I noticed that you're hanging out a lot with that guy, Chris. You have interesting chemistry."

I stare at him in shock, " Have you been  spying on me?"

He smirked at me, " Yes, and here's what I learned about you and Chris's relationship. You are the scum of the earth without me. It would be better if you stopped working on this project and find a partner. Or go to a different school. One like mine. I'll tell you why. Chris is only doing this project with you to get your money."

I stared at him wide eyed. Is it possible that whatever relationship me and Chris have could be fake? That he only doing this to get my money? Yes, it is. But, if that's  the case, then I don't believe it.

"I don't believe you."

"Fine, but don't come crying to me when you have your heart broken. I warned you. You choose not to listen. Well, I better get going. Don't want to be to late to my date with my girlfriend.
Well, it was nice seeing you again Charlotte."

And to think, I used to be friends with him. Now he's telling me lies. 

Friends. That was one thing in my life I didn't have much of. The only one I had     in elementary and middle school was Mark. He was so nice and funny. But, somehow that nice and funny personality made me fall for him. It wasn't His good looks. But, I did think he was super cute. Around, freshman year we started dating. I was so happy. I even stop thinking about my mom's death. But, then everything changed once he cheated on me. He even did sex  with that girl. My heart was broken.

After that, I deleted everything that reminded me of him. All the photos we took together, his contact, texts. Everything. The night we broke up I promised myself to never get to close with anyone ever. For fear, they would turn on me like Mark did.

The first person I saw when I walked in the house was guess. If you said Chris, then congratulations. His eyes filled with worry he reached for my hand." Is anything wrong?"

I jerked away from him. No, nothing's wrong. "

"Really? Because you look really pale."

"Yes, really I'm fine. Stop worrying about me and go on with what you were doing!"

"Gosh, don't get all mad at me. I was trying to help you out."

"Well, I don't need your help. So, back off!"

He ran his fingers angrily through his hair. "Man, you're so frustrating sometimes! Sometimes I really hate you, Charlotte!"

That was the final blow for me. Tears came to the brim of my eyes. I stomped angrily up the stairs. When, I got to the top I yelled down to Blake, " See this I why I can't trust people! There sweet like candy. Then they become sour as a lemon! And right now, you're a really sour lemon! " I slammed my door shut.

Tears were streaming down my face by the time I got to my bed. I muttered to myself before falling asleep, " Oh, mom how I wish you were here right now. You're the only one who would make me feel better.
And with that, I fell asleep.
