I cant love you anymore

Chapter 2

My mom can be very over protective. And I don't blame her. I was always scared of the outside world.  She always protected me. I felt like I could tell her everything. It was just me and my mom against the world. I do wish I knew more about my dad. My mom doesn't mention him anymore. When I was younger, she always had something to tell me about him. Whether it was that he missed me or that he wanted to come and see me again but never had time. The moment I got to school, my first obstacle of the day, the crowd I followed around since I started high school. I wasn't sure why I "hung" out with them. They didn't really payed attention to me even though we've had all the same classes since freshman year. But I kind of liked it like that. I didn't have to worry about drama and picking sides. Along with being alone, came the fact that I payed attention to a lot of different things. Like the fact that I was spoken smack about all the time from my so called friends. But the was a really sweet guy that always hung out with me. His name was Alex. I was really into the fact that he never left my side. Once I got to school, I get greeted by a very smiley Alex.

"Hey" I hug him and he hugged back. "Why so happy?"

"I just asked out that girl I was telling you about." He looked at me and I smiled and said. "And she said yes I assume?" My smile quickly fades away.

"Why do you look so sad all of a sudden?" Alex asked.

"No reason. I happy for you." I put on a fake smile so that he didn't see that I was still upset. The fact that he had asked out a girl bugged me. I didn't like him but.....maybe I did. I wasn't sure. He made my heart skip a beat or two when he was around me. Now that he was going to have another girl at his side, I was going to be left out. 

"Are you okay?" Alex asked. I guess I had spaced out.

"Yeah I'm fine. So when's the date?" I didn't want to look in his direction because I knew his bright green blue eyes would pull me back into the dark abyss that was his heart. 

"Tonight. Hey I have a friend who likes you and wants to see if he can go out with you tonight with me and my date. You in?" Alex was setting me up with a guy?

"Sure."

"Great I'll pick you up at 7 tonight."

"Okay." I answered. The rest of the day wasn't the same. Even if he still hung around me, It didn't feel right. He had a girl now and he hung around me. After school, I went home. I was not looking forward to tonight and my mom could see that.
