Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 4

I froze when I looked up to see where we were.

"We need to sort this out before things get worse." Mario said, unable to look me in the eye. He looked guilty, and so he should. 

"You don't have to stay with him for the rest of your holiday, but just please talk to him." Ariel added, rubbing my back for reassurance.

I felt my cheeks blush when I realised how I must have looked at that moment. I had three hours of sleep the night before on a stone hard bench, I hadn't showered or brushed my teeth, I hadn't even gotten changed and I couldn't even walk, I had to have Ariel and Mario to help.

I sighed and decided to not argue. They were right, if I didn't talk to him now the situation would become bigger, I needed to get this over and done with.

I knocked on his door and felt a wave of embarrassment when I noticed how much my hands were trembling.

Before I could even blink, the door slammed open to reveal the most handsome boy I've ever gazed upon in my life. My heart was pounding and I could barely feel my legs, it was like I was floating in thin air.

Geo.

Just looking at him made my heart break.

But the thing that made my heart break the most was the fact that he looked fine. It was almost as though he had no care in the world that I was missing for the entire night.

I felt a warm hand grab mine and I instantly knew it was Mario's. Geo looked down at my hand and I quickly moved it away so Mario would let go.

I then looked into Geo's eyes and he did the same. We didn't talk for a while, and the smile on Geo's face was gone.

"Why are you here?" Geo finally said after seconds that seemed like minutes.

Tears welled up in my eyes when I heard his voice. My gaze was still fixed on his. Why should I explain to him that I was sleeping in the streets for the whole of last night? It's not like he'll care.

"I want my stuff back please."

"Oh, my mum packed it all. I'll get it now."

I sniffed and wiped away tears which were trying to escape from my eyes when he disappeared. Mario stood beside me and put his arm around my shoulders. Him and Ariel didn't say anything which I appreciated, I really was not in the mood for "he's not worth it" nonsense. But why was Geo acting so horrible towards me? What did I do that was so wrong?

Geo finally came downstairs while heaving my massive suitcase. Mario did not let go of me which just made things way more awkward.

"Thanks." I mumbled. I then grabbed my suitcase and walked off. Mario and Ariel stayed at the doorstep, I had no idea what they were saying but I couldn't care less at that moment.
