Rejection Causes Love?

Chapter 8: Back to Square One

Chris kissed me fiercely, and my heart pounded in my chest from the shock of what he was doing. I never expected him to kiss me like this. With my best effort, I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back. I don't think I had ever realized how warm he was. His hands wandered down further and picked me up, letting me wrap my legs around his waist, never breaking the kiss. He kissed me for a moment longer before I felt the door disappear from behind me, replaced by the soft feeling of a warm mattress as he placed me on the bed instead. He hastily removed his shirt and he was kissing me again, his hands roaming all over my body. I still didn't know what I was doing right now, but I knew what I wanted. I wanted him to make love to me.

"Can I?" He asked, as if he had been reading my thoughts. I just nodded and he smiled before kissing me again. My heartbeat increased, letting me know that this night would be a night I would never forget.

***
I had forgotten about everything Chris had told me an hour and a half later. I didn't know when I would go home, and I had forgotten all about his parents. He was warm, and I just wanted to lay in bed with him for the remainder of the day.

"My parent's are gonna be home soon." He reminded me. I sighed in defeat and I felt him place a soft kiss on my lips.

"Come on, I'll walk you outside." He mumbled I nodded, noticing that he seemed more distant. I wondered why. I didn't voice the matter, but I knew something was definitely up. I grew nervous. Did I do something wrong? Chris and I quickly got dressed as I continued to watch him.

"Bye Madison." He mumbled, kissing my forehead as he let me get in my car. I smiled and waved at him as I started my car and drove off, my heart still beating in nervousness. What was going on?

***

I laid in bed all night thinking about what was wrong with Chris, and when I finally fell asleep the nerves were still present. I had a bad feeling about all of this.

The next morning when I woke up I got ready for school and then sighed, grabbing my keys and walking outside. I got in my car and drove to school, my hands gripping the wheel tightly.

As soon as I walked in the school I spotted Chris, and he was surrounded by a group of his friends. The same group he used to hang around when he teased me.

"H-hey Chris." I said, uncomfortable about speaking to him in front of these other morons.

"Hey bitch." He greeted me coldly.

"W-what?" I stuttered, not believing what I heard.

"You heard me. I got what I wanted from you, and I got my money the boys offered me. I told em I could get in your pants in less than a week. They paid me twenty bucks each." He said with a wink. Then he gave me a little shove in the direction of my locker, and I turned and sprinted down the hallway, my tears blinding me. Everything had backfired. It was back to the way it had always been before. Nothing had changed at all. Chris really was a good actor. He had never been in love me, and I had been fooled by him once again.

I ran to the nearest bathroom, locking the door behind me and sliding down to the floor as I let the sobs shake me. A few minutes later my phone buzzed and I managed to wipe away my tears so I could read the message.

Why aren't you in first period? The text said. It was from Isabella. I sighed and typed back.

Come to the girls bathroom across from the science classrooms. I replied. I really needed someone here with me, it was killing me to go through this alone. A few minutes later there was a light knock on the door and I unlocked it, letting Isabella slip in before she locked it back.

"Oh my god, Madison why are you crying?!" She said nervously. I just shook my head and continued sobbing into my arms.

"Does it have anything to do with Chris?" She asked. I nodded vigorously and she sighed.

"Tell me what happened so I can teach that son of a bitch a lesson." She said threateningly.

"He didn't like me at all the whole time." I said between choked sobs.

"But you were sitting together and he- and then..."

"I know, I know. It was all a stupid bet thing with his friends!" I said loudly, my voice strained from all the crying I had done.

"That's fucked up." She said in a low voice. I just nodded and she looked back at me.

"Are you coming out of the bathroom anytime soon?" She asked hopefully. I just shrugged and she stood, hauling me to my feet.

"Come on, I'm not letting you fail high school because of that jackass." She mumbled. She led me over to the sink where I splashed my face with cold water, making sure my face wasn't tear-stained before I took a deep breath and turned to face her.

"You look better. Now come on, let's go. First period's gonna end soon." She said, leading me out of the bathroom as she began to walk towards our first period. I followed her into the French classroom, and after being interrogated by Mrs. Parlen, we were finally allowed to take our seats.

When the bell rang my breathing sped up, as did my heart rate. I didn't want to walk into biology and see Chris sitting there, without a care in the world. He was just happy with the money he got, he wasn't the least bit bothered that he had gone right back to being mean to me again.

As I walked into the classroom Chris was giving me a cold glare, like I had ruined everything for him. I didn't know why he always made me feel like he wanted to kill me. He must hate me, and I didn't know any possible reason why he could hate me. Now we were back to square one. No more niceness, no more warm hugs, kisses, or conversations with him. No more happiness, at least not for me. And definitely no more smiles.

As I sat through one of the most boring classes ever, my mind drifted off into a different place. I was remembering his facial expressions when he had admitted to me that he loved me. I remembered when my heart fluttered after he had admitted it. How was he able to lie so well?! I had fallen into his trap instantly, without giving it a second thought. I guess my wishful thinking and imagination just wanted to accept it. After all, it's what I had wanted ever since I started liking him, that first day I saw him. But that still explained nothing. I was back to my old question.

Why was I the only person he felt the need to bother? It wasn't fair!

______________
