Love knot

You're Dead To Me

The days had passed by so fast. It's been a month now since Brandon, Mason, Jess and I have spoken to one another. It was hard on me because I literally had no one left. The only person that has been talking to me was Luke. He understood me so much, we actually had a lot in common. Even though my time with Luke has been so wonderful I can't help but miss the others. I feel empty without them especially Jess. We've been best friends forever and I just had to ruin it by kissing her brother. They all had a right to hate me, I just wish they didn't. Right now I was walking down the hall by myself with no one by my side, then suddenly Luke jumped out of nowhere. We were talking and laughing we made our way to lunch. When we got to the cafeteria I noticed Jess was sitting with the populars again and Brandon and Mason were sitting at two different tables, mason had become captain of the football team again and Brandon was captain of the soccer team. It felt so weird and cold. Luke and I grabbed our lunches and sat at an empty table not too far from Mason's table. As I was eating my lunch I noticed Mason staring at me, I just tried to ignore it and kept talking to Luke.
"Hey so I was wondering, are you free Friday night?" Luke asked me.
"Well I'm quite the busy person, you know everyone just always wants to make plans with me....nah jk yeah I'm free, why?"
Just as Luke was about to say something someone abruptly sits down at our table, I turned to see it was Mason. At first I just stared at him not knowing what to do, I mean come on I haven't talked to him since the whole fight. I had to break the silence but before I could, Luke did.
"Well hey there, I'm Luke"
Mason gave him the death glare before replying "I don't care who you are, I was here to talk to Lily" I had never seen Mason act so cold towards someone. He looked at me but I didn't say anything I just couldn't for some reason I was too scared to even look at him. He seemed so different...Luke managed to break the silence again.
"Well doesn't look like she wants to talk to you, so I'd suggest you leave before I kick your ass for being so god damn disrespectful" Mason did not take it too well.
"You think you can tell me what to do? If I wanna talk to Lily then I will. And please I'd kick your ass like nothing" before I knew it the fight had got too heated and Mason punched Luke in the face. Luke started punching back they were now on the floor tackling each other I couldn't believe it. I didn't know what to do I was so scared, Brandon ran over and pulled Mason off of Luke, Mason just shoved Brandon like it was nothing. The way Mason was acting shocked me I couldn't believe what was happening before my eyes. I was fed up and angry with both of them! They just kept arguing, so I had to stop it.
"Stop it! What has gotten into the both of you? Look at you two, you're acting like animals right now! Luke he's my friend, you can't just act like that towards him" before Luke could speak I continued "And Mason? I've never seen you like this, what happened to you??? This is no way to approach me. You think that after all this time you can just jump back into my life like nothing happened? Where were you when I needed you the most? Oh that's right you were out partying with your friends and making out with girls. While you were in your own little world, Luke was there for me when all my friends decided to abandon me. You didn't even try to talk to me after the fight and then all of a sudden when Luke is there for me you decide to act like this? And for what?" Before I could say anything else, Jess decides to jump in and defend her brother.
"Umm excuse me, who the hell do you think you are? My brother is acting like this because you decided to be a slut and mess with his feelings. Don't try and act like you're perfect because we all know you hell as ain't. We left you because you betrayed us all! You were my BESTFRIEND and you decide to go after my brother without telling me?? What're you trying to do? Steal him away from his own sister now? You made out with him while I was sitting in the next room, you didn't even care about what I would think! And that was right after you and Brandon went on a date. You played us all like we were your pawns in a chess game. Who do you freaking think is at fault here. Now that I think about it, who knows you could've only been friends with me to get to my brother. Best friends don't do that. So don't blame us for your mistakes and sorry that we actually have friends and are cool unlike you who's always a loner and needs someone's shoulder to cry on." Brandon tried to interrupt by saying "Jess I think you're being a little harsh" but he fails and she keeps going, just slowly breaking me down piece by piece. "No I'm not being harsh this bitch decided to ruin our friendship and is now crying for us back? Well here's something you should know. I hate you and I always will. I'll never forgive you, you little slut! You're dead to me!" Once she said that, I was all broken. Crumbled into a million pieces. I hated myself I just wanted to run away. Everyone was staring at me and whispering to one another I stood there frozen. I felt tears streaming down my face I tried to cover it and run but I ended up running into someone. When I looked up to see who it was, I saw Luke his arms were wrapped so tightly around me I dug my face into his chest and sobbed. It felt so safe, like nothing could hurt me. I heard footsteps of someone running away, I didn't know who until Mason yelled Jess's name. I wondered why she ran away, after all I thought she'd feel pleased to see me cry. Everyone slowly started walking back to their tables. I knew Brandon was coming but Luke just waved him away. I felt like I was standing there for hours, Luke didn't move he just stayed there hugging me, shielding me from the horror that awaited outside his embrace. In that moment I truly deeply hated myself, and for that I shut everyone out from that moment on. I stepped out of Luke's hug, wiped my tears and walked away, the bell had rung and it was time for our next class. I didn't speak to anyone for the rest of the day everyone kept looking at me and whispering Luke kept trying to talk to me but I avoided him. Mason and Brandon would try and talk to me too. Jess and her friends would glare at me while I walked down the hall. But I felt nothing, empty and dead inside. As I walked down that hall it felt as though there was nothing. From that point on I put up a wall, a shield..............and my mask.

AN/Hey guys I hope you enjoyed this chapter, it's been awhile and I'm sorry I've just been really out of it and had writers block. But I think this was the perfect chapter to come back on. I know it's kind of dark and sad but I wanted it to be more interesting for you guys. I also put in the mask reference in the end because I want you to check out my best friends Bernadette' story called Broken Crayons Still Color  if you guys have been with her since the beginning then you'll understand my reference but anyways she's an amazing writer and her stories are so moving and powerful. I really do hope you liked this chapter and I will try to update faster because it's summer and I want to get as many chapters out there before school, because that's when I'll start to get busy again. I guess that's it and I'm sorry again but I'll see you guys in the next chapter. Also tell me what you guys think of the new character??? Are you rooting for him and Lily??? Tell me in the comments!!
