Hey guys I'm so sorry for the late update but I haven't been in the mood to write lately and haven't had many ideas come to my head. I promise I will start writing more again. I just have a lot going on at the moment too with school and all and it's my last year so sorry everyone but I won't be updating as much ☹️
*****
It's unfortunately Sunday and I haven't even started the English novel; switched.
Who knows what it's about...
I decide to go to the library and read considering the fact that I will procrastinate.
I would call the girls to come study with me but I think that's not really a good idea. I mean it will end up with all of us throwing scrunched up pieces of paper at each other.
Now that would be fun.
*****
An hour later and I have ended up at the library reading this insanely good book. So far it's about a girl who can control people with her mind!
Like woah; mind blown. Yes there was a pun intended.
Too engrossed in the novel, I didn't hear the footsteps that were coming towards me. I didn't hear them stop right in front of me and I definitely didn't see the attractive boy looking down at me amusingly.
"Hey there mads!" A deep but familiar voice says making me jump out of my skin.
I look up at the person and come face to face with none other than Aaron himself.
What the fuck? Since when does he visit libraries?
I'm so gobsmacked that I just stare at him with my mouth slightly open in shock.
"Good book is it?" He points at the book and I just nod my head in reply.
"Um so do you want to come have something to eat with me? I mean you don't have to if you don't want to-" he begins to rub the back of his neck and his face is turning bright pink.
I finally come out of shock and interrupt him by unthinkingly saying yes.
Now he goes into shock.
A contagious laugh sneaks out of me and he chuckles back.
He extends his hand to help me up from the floor and I accept and politely smile at him which he mirrors back.
Butterflies fill my stomach.
I'm nervous? No, that can't be! He is my ex! I shouldn't feel this way about him after what he did to me...
*****
We end up at a little private café down a few blocks from the library. I used to come here all the time with my parents but that obviously doesn't happen anymore.
He grabs the menu, asks me what I'm having and begins to order for the both of us.
I'm so confused. First I find him in a fucking library?! Well he found me... but that not the point! Then he wants to take me out to lunch and now he is ordering food for me? This is not the Aaron I dated last year.
He- he has changed.
"Maddy? Are you okay? You don't look so good." He has a worried look plastered on his face and I feel my cheeks beginning to burn up.
"No no I'm okay Aaron. I'm just a bit tired that's all." I lie.
"You know you can tell me anything mads. I will always be here for you."
The key word. Always. I feel the urge to suddenly hit him. He has NEVER been there for me! He raped my best friend for god sakes! Whilst still fucking dating me! And now he says he is ALWAYS here for me? No fuck you aaron! You will never be there for me! You're a fucking coward!
I instantly stand up frustrated and walk straight out the door.
I can't do this anymore. I can't be near him. He has made my life a living hell.
Tears begin to run down my cheeks and I run.
*****
I get about halfway home as I am a horrible runner even though I'm a sports champion.
Makes sense.
I sit down on the bench and the tears flow from my eyes and I hear sobs of anger and sadness escaping my mouth.
Why me...
A pair of arms instantly wraps around my body and I freeze.
Why the fuck I didn't scream, I don't know.
"Hey it's okay it's just me." As soon as I here Alex's voice my heart begin to speed up but my body relaxes at the sound his voice.
"What's up mads?" He asks worriedly.
I stare up at his face, straight into his eyes. I could get lost in those.
"Please don't call me mads," I say shakily.
"And why is that?"
"Because my ex boyfriend used to call me that..." I say instantly without thinking.
Wow I open up to him way too much.
His face immediately goes into a shocked expression and I can't help but giggle a little.
That makes him smile.
We both sit there on the chair for god knows how long. Both of his arms are secured around my body and I have buried my body into him, making me feel protected, safe.
I could get used to this.
Thank you guys for being patient! I have finally gotten this out and hopefully I can get another chapter out soon!
