Just Friends

Chapter 27

I walked into my bathroom, quickly running a hand through my hair. First day back to high school and I was already dreading it. I hadn't been this unhappy for a while and normally when I was angry with the world; I had Justin who was always there to make me laugh or cheer me up, but now, he's angry with me and I don't blame him.

A knock at my bedroom door interrupted my thoughts. I quickly walked over to it, slowly opening it. Who would be at my door besides my parents? Of course, I opened it to Cole. He may be my best friend or was my best friend, I did not want to talk to him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, trying my best to not sound weak which I was partly failing at.

"I'm here to apologise." He answered before walking into my room as I opened the door for him to come inside. "I heard what happened between you and Justin. I know it was my fault and I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to turn out this way."

It was the first time I'd seen Cole act himself in months but I know it wouldn't last for long. "That's very nice of you Cole, but it's not going to change anything. What's done is done." I replied a little more harsh than I intended.

He nodded before his eyes travelled down to his feet. "Well I am going to say one thing. Justin is an ass to a lot of people." He said, chuckling slightly. "But, he never was to you. You know why? Because he cares about you. Because he loves you. I see the way you two look at each other and I'm not trying to ruin it. Yes, I know I have feelings for you but I still want you to be happy and he is what makes you that."

I was taken back by his words and I couldn't help but give him a warm smile. "Thank you."

He nodded and walked down the steps which I followed him outside to where his car was parked. Before he got in the car, he turned around to face me.

"By the way, I'm here if you want to talk." He said, a small grin appearing on his lips. I nodded and we both pulled into a hug, my arms wrapped around his neck and his around my back. It wasn't just a hug, it was a best friend hug and that's all that mattered.

"You want a ride?" He asked, after we pulled away.

.

After Cole dropped me off, we went different ways. I could already feel myself getting worried; for no reason. Maybe it was because of Justin, I'm not sure. I hate love, I hate how it makes you so weak or how it makes me feel this way.

I automatically walked to my first class; which Justin was going to be in. But I have a solution to all my problems and this was to avoid Justin. I walked in and was a little late.

Of course the only seat left was next to Justin.

I walked over and sat down next to him, avoiding any eye contact, actually, any contact at all. Though, I could feel his eyes on me. Holy shit this was going to suck, why did this have to happen?

Why is it whenever Justin and I fight, we end up running into each-other or having to sit next to one another. A piece of paper sat in front of me and I read it, only just noticing it.

Meet me in the empty classroom above us.

- Justin.

I looked next to me and he was gone, so I assumed he meant now. Getting up, I quickly sneaked out of the classroom, running up the stairs as quietly as I could. The halls were so empty when I reached the top; probably because our school was a lot more busier on the bottom.
