Teenage Dirtbag

Bad Decisions and Strange Men

Harry's POV

I pulled into Alexis' driveway, not knowing what to expect. I mean I should just expect a simple coversation about how things went down. But I'm almost positive that that's not how it's going to work. I quickly got out of my car wanted to get this over with. I walked up to the door and knocked the same tune that I knocked when I was still dating her.

After about a minute, she opened the door. Her face lit up as soon as I came into view. "I've been waiting for you." She said, her smile still wide. I didn't respond. "Come on in." she said, finally. I walked into to the house. The smell still the same as it used to be. "Come sit." Alexis said still smiling as she gestured me over to her couch.

We sat side by side for a long time. You could feel the tension in the air..it was very very awkward.

"So," I finally spoke up. Without a reply, Alexis climbed over to me and sat on my lap, facing me."I've missed you." she said grinning. "I've missed you too, but not in the kind of way. Alexis, I have a girlfriend." I thought that comment would make her mad or at least get her off my lap but she stayed put. "Oh come on. You can't honestly tell me you"ve missed this." She said gesturing up and down her body. 

I clenched my jaw. This girl needs to get the fuck off of my lap. "What's wrong? Am I making you mad?" she said teasingly. I didn't answer. She bagan kissing my jawline and I pushed her off. "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" "Taking back what's rightfully mine." I pushed her off of me and on to the other side of the couch. My subconcious began to change my mind. Crystal did kind of take you from her. And she didn't do anything wrong. You gotta make it up to her. 

With this in mind I walked over to her and layed her down on the couch. I pressed my lips against hers. There was no spark, but it still felt kind of right. A small moan escaped her mouth. I took this as my chance to enter my tongue in her mouth. She was shocked when I did this. 

She grabbed the button of my jeans and I pulled away. "What happened?" "Shhhhh!" I silenced her and pulled out my vibrating phone. "Its Crystal." I pressed the button and put the phone up to my ear. "Hello?" "Harry!" "What?" "Where are you? We were supposed to meet for coffee." Shit. I could hear the disappointment in her voice.

"Nothing, I'm on my way." "Ok." I could hear her sigh just before hanging up. She wasn"t satisfied with my shit excuse but I couldn't tell her what happened in front of Crystal.

"I'm leaving." I said in a stern voice and started towards the door. "Don't expect her to believe the truth, we were best friends, remember? 

My blood began to boil. Crystal will believe me. Even if they were best friends, they arent anymore.

I quickly went outside and got in my car. I needed to calm myself before I arrive I at the coffee shop. I've probably already caused enough stress for Crystal. The drive there was about 15 minutes and I frantically looked around the parking lot to make sure Crystal's car was still there. It was.

As I walked through the door, I ran my hand through my hair. I looked around for Crystal. She was sitting at a two person table with her drink and another. I was asuming it was mine. I walked over and sat down. Crystal was on her phone and didn't look up at me.

"Crystal, I'm so sorry." She glanced up,  but not in my direction. There's a tall man towering over the table as I follow her glance. 

"Your sitting in my seat." The guys voice was deep. Deeper than mine even. He looked my age though. Maybe a little bit over. 

"What is this? The first day of highschool?" I question sarcastically. "This isn't your seat Crystal is my girfriend." I said sternly. "This is the 'Harry" you've been talking about Crystal?" 

I turn to look at Crystal. She has set her phone down and know stares at her lap with no emotion on her face. What's going on here? "Crystal, who the hell is this guy?" I ask louder than I intended, making few people stare. Crystal sat in silence with the same look on her face.

"Go on," the mysterious man urged, "Tell Harry who I am." "His name is T-Toby." She said slowly, stuttering slightly. Toby grabbed the other drink from the table and walked out the door. 

"What the fuck was that all about?" I said slightly raising my voice at Crystal. I wasn't mad at her, just frustrated. I tried to find Crystal's eyes but they were still focused on her lap. As I was about to speak again, I saw a tear run down her cheek. 

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. "C'mon baby, please don't cry." I said as I placed my hand on her shoulder. There was no response. But more tears, one after another, began falling down her cheeks.

Many people's attention was now on her and she placed her head in her hands. I stood up and guided her out of her chair. "C'mon Crystal, I'll take you home." She got up with me and followed me out to the parking lot. She started heading for her car. I grabbed her wrist, "I said I"ll take you home," I said gently." "But what about my car?" She spoke the first words since the man made her speak. "I'll come pick you up tomorrow and we can come get it, ok? But right now, you need to get home." "Ok." she said with no emotion. 

I still haven't been able to read her facial expression. Hopefully tomorrow when I pick her up, we can talk about things. I could use an explanation about 'Toby' and I'm sure she would also like to know the reason for my tardiness.

We arrived at Crystal's house. She mumbled what sounded like a 'goodbye' and then opened her door. "I don't get a kiss?" I asked. She glared at me and I quickly pecked her lips. She glared again and then walked into her house. 

I checked the clock on my car's radio. It was almost noon. I drove home, quickly took a shower and then took a nap. Or at least tried. I couldn't stop thinking about everything. I was just about to go to sleep and there was a large knock at my door.
