Spike #Wattys2016

monday funday

Today was Monday, the dumbest day of the week. I had to go to school, how different was it going to be? If Jessie and Sarah were still talking shit it was going to be a problem and i don't like problems. I hope i don't have to do a re-run of Friday.  I hate the fact that he doesn't have a phone, he never came back last night, not that i was actually expecting him too. I told Spike i loved him so that meant doing it in public too, right?  Were we even official, i don't remember him asking? Do people even do that anymore? I throw on some clothes and hurry to finish getting ready so i can see Spike. I finish up in my bathroom so i take my stuff and head out the door, forgetting breakfast.  

The object of my obsession is standing there holding a bloomed red rose in his hands.  I wonder what that is for?  As soon as my hands touch him, i feel completely at home.  "I missed you, Spike."  He was smiling down at me, tucking my hair behind my ear. 

 "Avery, i have something to ask you. Will you be my girlfriend?"  Oh my god, here it is, yay! I was such a loser. I take the flower from him and kiss his lips.

 "Thank you for the flower and yes, i would love too."  He leans down to peck my lips once more while waiting for the bus.

 " I'll have to be honest though. I'm worried about how people are going to treat you."

 "Screw them."

 "Okaaay then."
 
We get on the bus holding hands and it's exactly what i expected. Everyone is staring, probably thinking the poor girl who is going to disappear next week. The rumors were tiring, really people,  get a damn life already. We get to school in record time and he gently leans in to give me a swift kiss.  We turn to go our separate ways for the day when literally every single student had their eyes trained on Spike and i. "Can i help you!"  No one said a word, they just turned around and continued on with their business, as they should. 

"I'll see you in art babe." I nod my head and let his warm fingers go and turn to get this crappy day over with.

I haven't seen Spike all day and it was finally time for art.  I get in my seat and for some reason my boyfriend isn't here, what the hell?  Mrs. Daylani also notices this and writes down that he isn't in attendance for today even though i know he is.  I would have said something but all that would've done is bring more negative attention to him, having people thinking that he's bringing the new girl to the dark side.  What a load of crap, if these people were the light then all i wanted was the moon, the sun apparently held nothing for me anymore. I'm gonna  have to ask why he skipped, this was his favorite class.  What the hell is he up to?

I spent the day looking for someone who obviously wasn't even here.  Did he leave, was he hurt?  I'm also willing to bet that he isn't going to be on the bus either.  Getting on this smelly machine i take a look around to notice that i was right once again, no Spike here.  I had no idea why i was so mad, i didn't want to be one of those crazy girlfriends that changed once they got together, but damn man, come on!

Getting off the bus i march inside and grab an apple, thinking i was so grumpy because i was hungry.  I go up to my room and sit on my bed, eating the red delicious apple as i think about him disappearing from school today.  He looked like he had every intention of seeing me and that's why i was worried , or did he?  Did my boyfriend lie to me?  Why was i questioning everything?  I get up and angrily throw the apple core in the trash.  I know, i'll just go to his house.

Grabbing my phone i quickly leave in a rush to see if he was home because if he wasn't, i was going to be really worried. How could he do this to me, did someone hurt him?   It's not like they didn't have a motive, the whole damn town hated him because they thought he was a killer.  What was just as bad, (i wondered to myself) did my boyfriend actually lie to me? 

I get to his house and he's not home, well what the hell?  I guess i'm going to wait until he gets here.  He should be ashamed, almost wished someone had hurt him rather than lie to me.  Oh my god he needs to get here my mind is going crazy! I feel out of control and panicky.  I send my mom a quick text telling her Spike went missing from school today and i was down the road at his house waiting until he came back.  He better have a good excuse for this because i was freezing my ass off. I blink trying to stay awake but sleep took me over while i waited on him to come home.

Through my haze of sleep i feel a hand graze my cheek and then my lips.  I blinked opening my eyes suddenly remembering why i was here in the first place. "Where the hell have you been?" Yeah, apparently i was on it. I don't like being lied to because of my dad, he was in trouble.   He took a deep breath and looked at the floor, he also didn't answer my question, okay... round two."  "Do you have any idea how worried i was today.... when you disappeared from school? The whole town hates you so i thought maybe someone had hurt you!"  I couldn't help it when i started to cry, he made a move to touch me but i put my hand out stopping his warm touch, i would've forgiven him too easily if he had touched me.  "The worst is when i realized that my BOYFRIEND LIED TO MY DAMN FACE!"  I was screaming at this point and the worst part is he looked guilty, guilty as hell. "Well, are you going to say something or are you just going to sit there looking at the damn floor?" 

He took a deep breath and pulled on some of his hair, he looked up at me and he had tears in his eyes. What the hell did he do, this was scaring me. "I'm sorry baby, i lied to you."  I sat on his bed and waited for him to continue this amazing pile of horse shit of a scenario.  "I didn't want you involved.  I saw my uncle today, i called yesterday and got an appointment for today.  I'm so sorry Avery, i just wanted to protect you."  I really needed to think before i said a word because it was very likely that i was about to smack the hell out of him for being so stupid. 

"Spike, do you realize that you put me in more danger by keeping me in the dark.  We are supposed to do this together, as a team, not apart. This won't work if you keep things from me Spike, you have to be honest with me!"  He nods his head and reaches towards my arm but doesn't actually grab me, i think his instincts were kicking in about now, too bad they didn't help him earlier.  I let him grab my hand to pull me to him, but i couldn't actually touch him, i was too mad and too hurt. 

I stood there stiffly while he just held me. No words or anything, he just held me.  About five minutes later i pull back not trying to go overboard but not giving in too easily. He needed to learn a lesson, as much as it hurt me.  "I have to go home now, it's late."  He seemed to panic at my words as he scrambled for something to say. 

"Stay baby, it's late so lets just get some sleep, we can figure his out in the morning." 

"Spike, no can do. No i'm sorry Spike, i'm going home."  He jumped out to stop me from leaving.

 "It's dark let me walk you if you won't stay, please."

  It was a low blow but i was still very mad.  "I got here fine and i'm leaving fine and i'll get home fine, goodnight and don't follow me." 

 At this point i had tears rolling down my face, i couldn't stop them if i wanted to. I opened his door and ran the whole way home not even checking to see if he followed me or not, this hurt so bad.  I understood i really did, but this was something he really needed to understand, i couldn't deal with liars or cheaters. I can do anything but that, anything.  I make it home and run straight to my room and jumping on my bed crying my self to sleep, damn you Spike,... just damn you.
