Smiles secrets and everything inbetween

Chapter 4-"I Hate you"

I took a step backwards my thoughts were consuming me I was filled with anger embarrassment shame and guilt I had so many questions.

"W-what are you talking about" I said trying to sound confident but my voice was. shaky and I'm sweating more than I ever had before in my life.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about" Jack Snarled, Dylan's looking at me I had no idea what to say next do I admit it or keep questioning it? "No I don't" I finally said".

"Oh please everyone saw the picture Michael took its all over Facebook" Jacks snapped. "What picture"? Dylan demanded, looking at both me and Jack. "The picture where Eliza's kissing that girl" jack growled, "who was it anyway"?

Dylan looked at me I could tell he was trying to process what Jack had just told him but I couldn't just stand there and have that horribly awkward conversation so I started to run and I kept running all the way to my house.

As soon as I got there I went straight into the house and ran up to my room slamming the door behind me, then I completely lost it I couldn't take it anymore I couldn't stop the tears from coming so I let them fall I slide down the door and onto my wooden floor tears dripped down my cheeks.

"why me" I screamed, "why I did I have to be the one in the picture". I looked over at my mirror staring at my reflection I had bags under my eyes and my face was blotchy from crying "I hate you" I shouted at the mirror in-between sobs, I looked down and seen one of my shoes, I picked it up and threw it full force at my mirror.

I watched as it smashed at the sudden impact, my reflection breaking and scattering on the floor right before my before my eyes, How ironic.

I stood up and headed for my shower to clean myself up but just as got to the upstairs bathroom I heard the sound of my front door unlock. "Oh great my mums home to get ready for work now it's time to explain how my wall length mirror smashed by its own doing", I muttered to myself.

"Eliza its me, please talk to me I just want to be be here for you" Dylan pleaded. Oh great I thought to myself sarcastically just the person I wanted to see. I sprinted to my bedroom and quickly went in locking the door behind me, Dylan's heard that and headed upstairs, I heard my stairs creaking under his weight.

Then he tried the handle, quickly figuring out the doors locked he knocked. "Just let me in Eliza come on I'm your best friend you can talk to about anything, he begged. I didn't reply so he continued.

"Look I know I have absolutely no idea what your going through (neither do I, I thought to myself) but I'm here for you to help me understand okay? I don't know if you like that girl you kissed wether you have always like girls or if maybe your just confused but no matter what it is I'm here with you through all of it and I'm not going anywhere"."now please just open the door",Dylan whispered. I got up straightening my posture and opened my door.

Dylan opened his mouth to say something but he didn't get the chance because I quickly jumped up and huged him wrapping my legs around his waist, we stood hugging for ages I felt safe in his arms like everything was okay and nothing could hurt me while I was with him, but I eventually loosened my grip and he gently sat me back down.

I looked at him and then I realised I had hugged him so quickly I didn't even notice he had a black eye and a busted lip. He noticed my staring and quickly said "You don't need to worry about jack anymore.

"I can't believe it" I said " your willing to sacrifice your social status and popularity just to what protect your straight lesbian bisexual maybe even confused friend". " best friend" he corrects me "and yes I am I don't care about any of that including wether your bisexual or lesbian or confused or what your still my best friend your sexual preference won't change that.

I started crying "I'm so sorry Dylan I know you said you don't care about being popular but this isn't fair on you. you shouldn't have to stick up for me none of this is your fault it's mine for kissing her and actually liking it"

"Hey it's not your fault either do you hear me, you don't have to apologise for who you are or who you like and besides its not a choice you like who you like and you shouldn't have to change that just because of what some stupid teenager like Jack says or does, it's your life not theirs and you should be able to be yourself while living it, now come on theres somewhere I want to show you"

Sorry for the wait guys I had a lot of stuff to do I'm only home from my holiday so I had to unpack and I have a science gcse in November so I had to study but anyway here the chapter is.

So is it just me or is Dylan a complete and utter sweetheart he's so cute and understanding and that speech he made omg I was literally tearing up while writing it.

By the way sorry for another cliff hanger but I hope your excited for the next chapter and are looking forward to finding out  what place Dylan's talking about I promise the place is going to have a big part to play in the book until then good bye I I hope you guys have a good day💖
