Everyone says that love hurts, but that's not true.
Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Loosing someone hurts.
Everyone confuses these things with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all the pain and makes us...
:Pictures above and below are of Jack, not Oliver:
It was 10am on a Thursday. This time in three days I'll be IN America. I've already asked Ariel if I can stay in her house again but that was an hour ago so no wonder she hasn't replied, she'll still be sleeping because of our time differences. If I can't I'm sure I can book a hotel, I'm not missing my chance to see Geo again. Jack may be coming too.. I don't love him or anything but that would be amazing.
I'm sitting next to Oliver right now in Geography. He doesn't know about the video I don't think, I'm sure he would have mentioned it if he did. He seems upset though, even though he keeps on telling me he's fine.
"It's not because I'm leaving to go to America is it?" I asked, forgetting how vain I sounded.
"No, I don't care about that."
I stared at him in shock. Maybe he does know about the video?
"I-Is it because of a video you saw online?" I asked, trying my best to hide how nervous I sounded.
Oliver stopped writing but carried on staring at his sheet of paper. "Yes." He mumbled. He then carried on what he was doing.
I sat still and then and stared at him, panic rising up inside of me.
"Isla knows." He added. "How long has this been going on for?"
I didn't reply. I didn't want to lie but I didn't want to tell him that we've kissed before. But to he honest I didn't even need to reply, Oliver had already guessed.
"Wow Lucy." He spat, sounding mad. "You're literally made of plastic, aren't you?"
His last remark made me want to cry. But he's right, I must seem so fake to Isla right now. I deserve all of this. I stole Jack off Isla as though it was the last of my worries.
"Why don't you just go sit next to him now?" He said, raising his voice up. A few eyes were on us and this time tears were rolling down my cheeks. "Seeing as you're so in love with him."
A few people laughed, and now everyone was staring at us. Including Jack. I caught a glimpse of him who looked really angry. This isn't going to end well.
I could tell that Oliver was enjoying the laughs. His scowl turned to a smile. "Go on, you mays as well kiss him in front of all of us as well seeing as you have no shame."
I'm literally crying and he's saying I have no shame. If I wasn't ashamed I'd be fine. I stared at Oliver and whispered:
"I thought you were different."
"Oh hunny." He laughed, "looks like the wolf in sheep's clothing is finally speaking."
"Oliver, Lucy, come outside now."
Oliver rolled his eyes but obeyed. I stood up too and walked through the classroom to go outside, my cheeks blushing with embarrassment when I saw everyone but Jack give me a look full of disgust.
Ms Anderson was already telling Oliver off. She then turned to me and put her arm around me in comfort.
"You okay Lucy?" She asked softly.
I nodded even though it was obvious I wasn't.
"Oliver, if you say anything to this girl again you'll visit Mr Bones." Ms Anderson snapped. Mr Bones is our headteacher and he is extremely stirct. "Understand?"
Oliver nodded, obviously not daring to protest. He's already in a lot of trouble. She then dismissed us both.
I sat down and felt another wave of sadness overcome me when I realised that I just lost valuable and true friends. Isla and Oliver made me extremely happy. And I've lost them because of my selfishness.
How is Jack going to cope when I'm gone?
Maybe it's worth considering him joining me on Sunday..
