All of Me | Protector 1.4

Chapter 15

There won't be anymore major time skips, so I won't be stating the month anymore.

Chapter 15

       Tony hated me.

       Well, not really. but he was probably regretting dating a co-worker, especially when I was very annoying at times. He probably wasn't appreciating me pinching or slapping his ass every single time I saw him at work, which just so happened to be a high school, so everyone was wondering why his face would randomly turn red in the middle of the hallway.

       I was an amazing girlfriend.

       We've already been together for two weeks and I was loving every second of it. Tony rarely got pissed off at me for showing him too much affection, unlike Ian. Ian hated it when I showed him tlk much affection or when I was being too weird, but that was in the past.

       Now, I had someone who probably couldn't get mad at me, no matter what I did.

       I actually had to move in with Tony because I got kicked out of my apartment. I wasn't really paying the rent because I had my student loans to cover, my cell phone bill, groceries.

       I was a bit worried to move in with him when we haven't been dating for too long, but I had nowhere else to go and honestly, I didn't anything could strain my and Tony's relationship. Besides, we were both in love with each other before we started dating.

       The one and only downside of dating Tony was caused by the students at school. I was no longer known as Miss Rutter. I was either Mrs. McCormick or Mr. McCormick's bae. Even some of the other stuff were calling me Mrs. McCormick.

       Tony groaned and dropped his pencil on the table before rubbing his forehead. "You okay?" I asked.

       "No," he said. "This paper work is killing me and it has to be done by tomorrow and my phone keeps buzzing with a new message and I think I want to die."

       I rolled my eyes. "Stop being so dramatic, yeah? Just take a break and get back to it. Forcing yourself to finish all of it is only going to make it worse."

       "You're right," he said before picking up his cell phone. Looking a bit shocked, he called someone. From what I got from his end of the conversation, it was Poppy, who told him she was pregnant again just so he would talk to her.

       He ended up yelling at her and he hung up his phone with a sigh. "She hung up on me," he said.

       "Gee, I wonder why," I said. "I would too if I got yelled at."

       "She told me she was pregnant and I freaked out," he said.

       "Why?" I asked. "She already has a baby. There's nothing to freak out about. And she just wanted to talk to you. She cares about you a whole lot."

       "She's annoying."

       "Tony," I said. "She wanted to talk to you. That's it. You guys used to text each other at least once per day, but you haven't for the past two weeks. Remeber what's going in with my family? You're lucky to have a sister like that."

       Tony sighed. "Yeah, you're right." He tried texting her back, but she wasn't answering. "I'm going to go visit her."

       "Okay," I said.

       Tony got up from the table and walked over to me. He leaned down and gave me a quick kiss before leaving the apartment.

       Right as he did, my cell phone rang. I didn't recognize the caller ID, but I answered it anyway. "Hello?"

       "Charlie, hi," Lydia. "I got a new number and since you didn't block it, I figured I'd call."

       "Wow, I got a new number to block," I said.

       "Charlie, wait," she said before I could hang up. "I went to visit you yesterday, but you were apparently kicked out because you weren't paying the rent. Are you okay? Where are you?"

       "Dont pretend you care," I said. "And I couldn't pay the rent because I had to pay off my student loans, something you wouldn't understand because Mum and Dad paid for whatever youe scholarships didn't cover. And I'm fine, but I'm not telling you where I am. What do you really want?"

       "My wedding," she said. "It's next month and you never RSVP'ed."

       "I already told you, I'm not coming," I said.

       "But....It's my wedding," she said. "It's your younger sister's wedding and you're really not going to come?"

       "Why would I?" I asked. "You betrayed me."

       "You're still on that?" she asked.

       "Yes, I am," I said. "Because you are all acting like I'm the bad guy. I am sick and tired of you playing the innocent card and getting away with it. You hooked up with Ian constantly behind my back, and you didn't even have the decency to tell me. Not only that, but everyone is taking your side because they think you're an angel and can never do any wrong. Do you not know how much it hurt for you, for all of you, to do that to me, then tell me to get over it? So, no, I'm not coming to the wedding. Thanks for calling and giving me another number to block." I hung up before she could say anything else.

       It has been a year and they were all still telling me to get over it. I was over Ian. I was over Ian and Lydia hooking up.

       I was not over everyone else keeping it a secret, then taking Lydia's side. I was not over Lydia acting all innocent and having eveyone take her side.

       I was happy I moved in with Tony because now, even though I was in the same building, they didn't know where I was and couldn"t come talk to me. I really needed that fresh start from them that I never got yet.

I love Tarlie, especially because of how annoying Charlie is to him. cx

And now, there will be no more major time skips.

I probably won't write any more chapters for this until I get back home because I want the next one to be longer than normal (hopefully it is cx) and it's a pain typing on my tablet. But I should be back home Saturday or Sunday, so only two-three days without an update. I'll still work on my other books though.
