Chapter 5

"Are you okay?"

I looked up and slowly nodded my head, indicating that I was fine. That was probably about the fifth time someone had asked me if I was okay. I must have looked a total mess.

I gently touched the puffiness that was under my eyes followed by wiping my nose. I had told most of my classmates that I had a cold or something, but in reality, I looked so bad because I had been crying all weekend. Ever since last Friday night, I came home and cried. I just felt so different. I didn't feel the same after what me and Justin had did.

Every time someone would ask, I had to nod my head because no one could know what I was really going through. On the inside, things were falling apart and I could feel myself crumbling, fast. Things at home weren't any better with my mom, Sarah still wasn't talking to me, and on top of all that, I was failing most of my classes. Keep in mind that I have never gotten below a high C. Ever.

So now here I am, sitting at an empty lunch table by myself. Sarah sits with some new girls now. I guess I just really pissed her off. I honestly didn't even mean to though.

"Hey.." Justin came out of nowhere and sat down in front of me.

"Hi." I weakly replied.

"Are you okay?"

Make that six time I'd been asked today. "Yea Justin, I'm fine."

"You don't look fine. What's wrong?"

I honestly couldn't even answer his question. I had no idea what was wrong with me. I just all of a sudden felt depressed.

"I'm fine. Honestly it's okay."

Hanging his head, he sighed before standing up and throwing his book bag over his shoulder. "Meet me afterschool. Let's talk it out."

I nodded my head before looking down into my lap. I heard him sigh again before he turned around and walked out of the cafeteria.

I shouldn't even have feelings for him. What happened happened and there's no going back. I just need to move on with my life and the faster I do, the better. After one full week of hanging out with him, I had already changed so much. I couldn't even begin to imagine what would happen if I continued to hang out with him.

One side of me knew that I had to get away, but the other wanted nothing more but to stay. Even though I had done so many bad things, I loved it. The rush of sneaking out of the house, the thrill of the alcohol at the parties, and I even enjoyed the strong sexual feeling I got when me and Justin were in his truck. I loved every single bit of it and I honestly wanted more.

All of a sudden, the bell rung and students started rushing out of the doors of the cafeteria. After I had let some of the traffic die down a bit, I slowly stood up and made my way to my last class of the day, English. If I would just get through one more class period, I would be fine. My first terrible day of the week would be over, and only four more dreadful days would be left.

The period went by quicker than I expected. After reading a few pages of Romeo and Juliet and completing a worksheet afterwards, the class was over. The final bell rung and I made my way out to my car.

I had completely forgotten that Justin wanted to meet me until I saw him standing behind my car out in the student parking lot. Seeing his face made me smile. Knowing that he was there just for me made me happy.

All of a sudden, my whole emotion changed. It went straight from happy, to filled with rage and sadness.

Katherine, the school slut, had walked up to him and was now in his arms. She reached up and gave him a huge hug as he reached down and grabbed her ass. Pulling back, she whispered something into his ear and he smirked before nodding his head in agreement to whatever she had just said. She then giggled with glee and leaned up, kissing him on the lips.
