Back To Me

Wanna Sleepover?

Nat's POV

"Rave, please. I'm sorry. I got distracted," I plea, grabbing his arm.

Rave violently shook my hand off my arm.

"I know! I saw!" Rave yells at me. "I waited and you never came," he says, barely a whisper.

I feel my face soften.

"I'm sorry."

Rave just walks away, leaving me standing, sad and desperate.

My heart hurting.

What did I do?

I walk to class and fell into my seat at my desk. I roughly pull a hand through my now tangled hair, frustrated with myself.

Kevin takes his seat next to me.

"Hey," I mumble. "Wanna hang out tonight? You can crash at my place?" I say noticing the bruise slowly encompassing his left eye.

"Sure," he looks at me and smiles.

"Can I join?" Leo's voice erupts from behind me.

Rave's POV

Walk to the bathroom and into a stall. I slam the door shut and lock it behind me. I can't hold it back. I let the tears fall.

I'm so frustrated. He says he loves me, then goes and spends the night with some other guy. One he barely knows!

I grab handfuls of my hair and pull slightly, just enough to feel pain. To know I'm real, this is real.

I hate him. I hate him so much.

I hear footsteps and I try to quiet myself. A pair of black boots stop in front of the stall. A slight knocking.

"It's occupied, " I choke out.

"Rave," a familiar voice says, "It's Edd."

"It hurts, Edd. It hurts so bad," I say through tears.

"I know, Rave."

"I just love him. I love him so much."

"I do, too," Edd sighs, more to himself than me.

"Let's hang out tonight, at my house. You can stay the night?"

I just nod quietly.
