Bound to You (Literally)

Chapter 20

Chapter 20

My hands are shaking as I watch the passing scenery from my place in the passenger seat of Jett's car. No matter how much I try, I can't relax and when I start to smell the sea breeze through the open window I feel my heart start to speed up and I know that I am going to have another panic attack.

"You ok?" Jett asks and he looks like he is listening to something closely.

"Fine."

"You are not still thinking about how you 'saw' my eyes change colour, are you?"

"No. I don't know why I thought I saw that, might be because that kiss was shit."

"What?!"

"You're not as good of a kisser as Alex." I don't look at him because I know I will blush, giving away my lie.

"That's a fucking lie." I hear the anger in his voice, but I still won't look at him.

"Believe what you want." I shrug at him.

"Ah... I get it now, you don't like me kisses because you're a lesbian. That's why you hang out with Veronica so much. But let me just tell you something now... she doesn't got out with fat people. You might want to lose a couple of stone, if you ever think you have a chance with her."

He is words trigger something inside me as my mind goes back to that day, the day I said I would never get back in the sea.

I was ten years old and I was quite large for my age, but my mum would always tell me that I would lose it when I get older, that it is only baby fat. It was a party on the beach for a girl in my class and the whole class was invited, that also included Bianca and her followers. And at that age she hated me, I think she has always hated me, but I don't know why.

Bianca and her friends were all in bikinis and the boys were in shorts and I was the only person who was in a one piece and sadly because I had never went swimming a lot because I wasn't a good swimmer I only had that one suit. It was quite old and it had one little whole in it from where it had worn away.

"EEE! Look how fat she is, look she's ripping her costume!" Someone screams at the top of there lungs and everyone's eyes instantly turned to me, even Bianca's. I heard snickers but I just kept my head down as I found a seat on the pier where I put my headphones in and just listened to music.

I was left alone for I while until Bianca had decided that she wanted to have some fun, and I would be the thing that would amuse her.

I had taken my headphones out y now and was just sitting there looking at the sea watching the waves move back and forth wishing that my mother never made come to this stupid thing, but she always wanted me to have friends and couldn't understand that no one liked me; she would just say I was anti social.

"Do you reckon she would sink because she is that FAT?!" A bunch of giggles come out after Bianca shouts this from the end of the pier in the water with her friends.

"Ten pound says she does!" A boy from my class shouts causing more laughter to erupt from them, but I try to ignore them even though I am fighting to try to stop the tears from showing.

"I'll get on that bet!"

"Same!"

"TWENTY POUNDS!"

"Hey Bruce get little miss piggy and ring her here so we can so who wins the bet!" Someone yells and my heart instantly jumps in my throat as I hear footsteps running towards me and cheers.

"Come on Big Bertha!" I boys voice rings out from above me and I look up at the evil smile of one of my classmates.

He grabs my arm and yanks me out of my chair, dragging me along the pier.
