Chapter 7:Hiding The Pain
~Alison~
"I'm truly sorry." Justin said as he walked by my side around the mall.
"Oh are you? The only reason I agreed to walk with you is because I need to say you've been so distant lately. Why?" I ask demanding for an answer.
"Uhh." Justin said coughing.
"I hate this. This vacation was supposed to be about us. You know what I hate you so much." I said walking away from him.
"No you don't. I know you dont."
"I strongly dislike you right now." I said taking my hand out of his grip.
"Seriously Alison. Youre gonna act like this?" Justin said as i started to walk away.
"Like what Justin? You don't like how I'm acting? Join the club because I haven't been a big fan of your behavior either.
"I-I love you,"Justin said which made me more mad,then I already am.
"Love is when you show true feelings for someone. Love is unstoppable. This,what you're doing to me. Is not love." I said and started walking away.
How could I be so stupid? To not realize what he was doing to me? This Vacation was about us. Do I really even want for us to be an us anymore?
I pulled out my phone to call an uber because it seems like Jake left.
....
I handed the driver the cash. And got out and back into my beach house. I sat down on my couch and let out a breath. Of relief? No,not at all.
"Hey where have you been?" Samantha asked.
I explained and she gave me a hug.
"Hey? Listen to me. We're not gonna let you go through what you did years ago, Alison. I have this feeling it's not Justin that's the problem. It's just that your afraid that you'll go through self harming again. And starving yourself. But I'm here. Okay?"
"I know,I know,"I said as I looked down at my feet.
"I love you Alison. Nothing is gonna happen to you," Samantha said.
"Gosh, come here. I love you too Sammy," I said and hugged her tightly.
....
"Hey it's 10:00 pm and Jake is barely getting back." Samantha said peeking through the blinds.
"Weird, I'm gonna go talk to him," I said slipping on some pink flip flops and grabbing my phone. Samantha nodded.
I went out and got him as he was getting out of his car.
"Hey, Jake wait up!"
"Oh, hey, Alison," Jake said quietly.
Weird.
"Are you okay?" I asked and he took a deep breath.
"Jake you literally left the box of condoms open and they spilled all over the car also--
It was Ashlynn. Wow.
"Alison! How are you?" Ashlynn said chirpy.
I felt a bit hurt... Okay a lot hurt. I was gonna ask Jake if maybe, tomorrow he wanted to hang out.
"Uh, yeah I'm gonna go head back inside, have fun or whatever," I said with a fake smile.
It's so easy to smile. To hide what you're feeling. Some believe it, yet they're some who know you too well to fall for your fake smiles. I guess that's the easy part for me. Hiding the pain.
