Falling Apart

Stuck In Between

Hello! Here I am once again with another chapter! This one is dedicated to MakinaMerchant . I usually don't do dedications but I guess there's a first time for everything! I hope you're doing okay XD. *PLEASE EXCUSE ANY ERRORS* 💕

***********************************

This is it.

I'm not going to jump into conclusions. I'm just going to ask him a question. A simple question that's going to determine everything.

There's two ways this could end. He could either lie or he could tell the truth.

I have proof.

I walk over to him,"Hey. Well, you took your time."

"Um, yeah. Just my mom, I talked to her. She's a little back to normal now." He laughs a little.

I try to smile. I have to ask the question before I lose my shit.

He gives me a quick kiss on the lips and I'm a bit taken back but I manage to keep my cool. Can't let him see right through me.

"You okay?" He asks me as we walk to his locker.

"Um, yeah. I just can't stop thinking about yesterday. I don't know why. I guess I just can't stop thinking about how scared I was, remind me where you went again? I need to calm my nerves."

He turns away from his locker and puts his hands on my face,"You don't have to worry. I just went for a walk and I lost track of time and so I decided to buy food for us while I was out."

He lied.

He just lied. Why would he lie?

If there was nothing going on with him and that girl why would he lie?

I feel tears forming in my eyes. I try to hold it back in but one slips out.

"Crystal," he wipes the tear that's falling down my face.

I shake my head and I move away feeling the tears coming strongly and no matter how hard I try I know I'm going to be sobbing no matter how hard I try not to.

"Crystal," he says again frowning this time looking hurt but he could not be as hurt as I am right now.

"No," I say.

"W-w-wha-?Wait, where are you going?" He asks as I turn my back on him and start walking away.

"No." I repeat. At this moment, that's all I can say.

No.

"No!" I guess it was his turn.

"Crystal, what's wrong?" I hear him close his locker and after a while he grabs my hand and he stops me.

"Evan," I shake my head. I think it hurts more to know that he would do this to me than it ever did when Keith did it.

Is there something wrong with me? Is there like a sign that says 'you can have me as a girlfriend but do not let that stop you from having other girls on the side cause I was born emotionless, your unfaithfulness will not hurt me at all.'

"Babe, please talk to me, you're crying. Please let me be there. What's the matter?"

"Well, thank you for pointing out the obvious. Why don't you leave me alone for a bit, yeah? I don't, I don't feel like talking." I'm trying to keep my cool. This is the best I can do.

"W-where is this coming from? What's going on?"

"Maybe..you should ask the girl you were with yesterday that you lied to my face about twice." I clear my throat and wipe away the tears that kept coming like a waterfall.
