the bad guy's good girl

chapter 8

"Well? Where you with Simon?"
The question I've been not wanting to answer for the past 5 minutes.

"Yes I was!" I say quietly.
The girls all gasp and walk around the room in shock.
"Why are you hanging out with him? He's bad news Anna!"
"But he's actually not that bad! He really likes me and I really like him"

"He's probably only trying to have sex with you!"
"He isn't!"
"How do you know?" I pause at the question.
He told me he liked me and he wasn't using me. But how easy is it to lie to someone without then realising? Especially if you are blind and really like that person.
Would he really take me out on a date just to have sex with me? Kiss me twice and give me a whole lecture on how much he likes me just to get me into bed?
Is that why he called me.....easy?

I leave the room, ignoring the calls from the girls telling me to stop. I feel a few tears form but I refuse to let them drop.
I don't know where I'm going. I don't want to see Simon. Do I?

I keep walking until I stop in my tracks. My eyes fix on the blond boy a few feet away from me. And he's talking to a girl. He seems flirty.
She moves closer to him and I feel myself get angrier.
Simon then notices me.
I start to walk past them, and he let's me walk off. He doesn't come after me. Even though he knows how much this has hurt me. Maybe my friends were right.

I get back to the room and the girls aren't there.
Gone to the library to study. Join us if you want xx

I'm not in the mood to do anything right now.
But then the door goes.
I open it to reveal the tall dickhead known as Simon. The last person I want to see right now.
"For fucks sake. Can you just leave me alone Simon?" I groan.
"I know you saw me talking to that girl earlier. Didn't you hear what I said to her?"
"No! And I don't really care right now" I try to shut the door but he stops me.

"She was flirting with me and I played along. Only to tell her to back the fuck off. Because I have you"
My head shoots up and I furrow my eyebrows.
"I don't need no girl that's gonna fuck me over when I have someone who's in for the long run"
"And how do I know you aren't using me? My friends seem pretty confident you just want sex"
"Your friends know about us? How?"
"They saw us walking out of campus together earlier. Then I got a lecture from them about not being with you" I sit on my bed.

Simon sits next to me.
"Simon I like you. I'm scared. If we were to be together, none of my friends would approve" I sigh.
"I like you too. I'm scared too. I have a funny way of dealing with feelings. I just hide them"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure"

We walk through the park.
"What did you want to ask me?"
"Tell me why you're so bad. Because according to others you guys never used to be like this"
He puts his head down like he doesn't want to talk about it. Is it really that bad?

"I used to be the good boy. I always got good grades. Me and the rest. Work was something we really focused on. Then one night, we got kidnapped. Well, not really kidnapped. Some guy called Steven wanted us to do a drug run. We didn't even know him. And then long story short, we were bad. It took over us. We don't work for him. We had to.  Or he would have killed our families. I didn't listen to him once. He lashed out. When I got home, my parents were dead. Shot. Gone. So I became worse. I started drinking. Just randomly having sex with girls constantly. All of us changed. We don't know where Steven is. He does contact me but I ignore it. Sometimes I feel like someone is watching me. But then it goes away. It's scary. But, now you know. And I won't stop you if you run the opposite direction" a tear forms in Simon's eye.

This poor guy, has lost his family. He saw them die.

Even a tear falls down my cheek.
I carefully hold Simon's face so he looks at me.
I lean in and kiss him. Once again.
My feelings for Simon have gone up.
He's gone though things no one should have to go through.
We pull away.
"I'm not running. I'm here for you ok?" I say.
He nods his head.

We go back to my room, I dropped Simon off at his. He seems broken. He just doesn't show it.

"Anna" Serena says.
"What?"
"We're sorry. For before. But he's a bad person"
"Maybe if you knew the story you wouldn't think this! Why is everyone ok with Sam dating JJ, he's just as bad as Simon!?"
They stand in silence.
"Whatever" I go to my bed and slam my door.

Why is everyone so against me and him?
They are supposed to be my friends.
If they can't be ok with it, I won't even care.
I'm with Simon.
I'm the bad guy's good girl.
