My Full Eclipse

Chapter 9

I hug Cassidy goodbye at her doorstep before getting back into Lexi's car.

It's been about week since I apologized to Cass and I've been true to my word, I've stopped blowing her off. We've been hanging out a lot recently. We being Cassidy, Lexi, and I. I've been trying to get them to hang out as much as I can so that maybe it's not as awkward when we're all together. It's been as successful as a fish living on dry land.

"Babe can I ask you something?" She says pulling out of the driveway and heads towards my house. "You just did" I chuckle and she rolls her eyes at me before I nod for her to continue. "You are my girlfriend right.?" She says coming to a stop in front of my house. I look at her confused but nod my head. "I thought so. But it gets a little confusing sometimes with you always hanging off of Cassidy." I notice that she's gripping the wheel a little too tightly. I place a hand in her shoulder. "Lex I only want you babe."

Lie

"You don't have to worry about Cassidy, she just my best friend that's it."

Somewhat of a lie

"I gotta admit it's a little cute that you were worried about it though." I smile and kiss her cheek before turning to get out, but her hand on my wrist stops me. "Babe your grips a little tight let go." I tell her turning around to look at her.

Her grip gets tighter around my wrist and it's starting to actually hurt. "I don't think you understood what I was trying to say." She pulls me closer to her. "Stay off of Cassidy. You are my girlfriend. Not hers." She growls "I don't want to see you all over her again. Am I clear?" She asks. "Babe I-" her grip gets tighter "Am I clear?" "Ow baby-" "Am I fucking clear Maya?" She has this dark look in her eyes that I've never seen before. "Yes" I say weakly and her hand goes loose around my wrist before she smiles like nothing just happened.

What kind of fucking psychotic moment was that?

"I'm glad we're on the same page now babe. I gotta go but I'll call you later ok." She brings my wrist up to her lips and kisses it. As soon as she lets me go I get of her car and dash to my front door. "Maya" I my hand stops just as I'm about to grab the doorknob. Lexi had gotten out of the car and was coming up to me.

Open the door. Open the door, break up with her and live happily ever after.

"Yes." I mumble without looking up at her. She grabs my chin and lifts my face up to hers. "No goodbye kiss?" She smiles then leans down to kiss me. I turn my head and her lips hit my cheek. She walks us backwards till my back hits the door. "Babe don't tease me, it's not nice."

Am I in the twilight zone right now? What the hell is going on?

I give her a quick peck on the lips and that seems to be good enough for her cause she lets me go and starts to head back to her car. I quickly open the door, slip inside, and run upstairs to my room.

I can't believe what just happened. I've never seen Lexi like that.

I look down at my wrist to see its slightly reddish, it'll be purple by tonight.

How will I explain this to my family? They'll definitely want to know what happened to me when they see this. This is the type of stuff you see on a lifetime movie. I mean I can't be caught up in something like that. I need to break up with her.

My phone ringing snaps me out of my thoughts. It's Lexi.

Should I answer it?

I bite my lip debating if I should answer it or not. I reach for my phone but it stops ringing, I guess I took too long. It starts again and it's Lexi trying to reach me again. I answer it this time knowing she'll probably call a third time.

"Baby I'm sorry." She exclaims before I can even say hello. "I've just been a little stressed out about some stuff lately and I took it out on you. What I did wasn't ok and I really truly am sorry." She pleads.

She sounds so sincere. Maybe it's like she said she's stressed.

"Do you forgive me?" She asks. "I...I need some time to think about it ok." I tell her cause I honestly don't know if this is something I want to continue right now. I mean today was a major red flag that I just can't ignore. "But I apologized Maya. You aren't thinking of leaving me are you?"

"Alexia-" I start but she cuts me off at hearing her full name. "NO! Wait-wait-wait stop just...can I say one more thing?" I sigh and tell her to go ahead. "Look I know we've only been together about a month but...I love you and I can't lose you." She what? Love? I sit down on my bed and take a deep breath. "I can't say that back Lex."

"It's ok just...just promise me you'll stay with me." She whispers. "I need a few days to myself ok?" I close my eyes and tell her.

"Ok that's understandable, I'll talk to you later. I love you." She tells me before hanging up. I don't even know what to think.

This whole situation is crazy, maybe it would be best if I break up with her. But what if she gets violent?

It's all honestly too much for me handle right now so I decide to do what I always do when I'm overwhelmed. I take a nap.
