The boy in the hallway

Broken pieces

Song above goes with chapter xx

AIDEN'S POV:

The game was nearing I was very nervous but I was also excited.
I really hope it all goes well?...

I know Isabel seems to hate me but I just hope that if this surprise for her goes well then maybe she will love me again.
I can't bear not being with her.
I feel so fucking stupid for doing what I did to her. I wish I didn't. But it was either one kiss or an even bigger rumour.
And I would sacrifice anything for Isabel.
But now I've fucked up.
Big time.
I just hope that with a grand gesture that maybe soon she'll understand.
That maybe she'll forgive me and love me again.

I'll just have to wait and see.

ISABEL'S POV:

I was nervous to go to Aiden's game. But also I was doing it for Tara. I also know that I'm gonna have to face Aiden. Not just in matches but in class. In biology. And just generally. So I guess it's just me being paranoid.
I've got to face him.
I just have to.

By the time the afternoon classes are finished I already feel drained. But I know I now have to go to Aiden's game.
I need to conquer my fear.
My fear of Aiden. And heartbreak again.

I meet Tara by the lockers like we agreed, but she's not there yet.
Then I see Cindy coming down the hall with Mandy.
Shit.
Fuck.
Shit.

They see me and laugh.

Oh no.
Please no...

But it's too late they, come down the hall straight towards me.

"Hey little slut!" Sneers Cindy.

"Let's get her Cinds" says Mandy.

I back into the corner.

Please no.
Not now.
Of all times please not now..
But of course the Lord Jesus fucking Christ has to do this to me.

Well thanks a lot Jesus.

Then the pain hits me.

The pain of Cindy's fist coming into contact with my face.
My knees break as I fall to the ground.

There's quite a crowd around us now.

Silent tears roll down my cheeks.

"How do you like that bitch!" Screams Mandy.

There's shouts along the corridor followed by footsteps.

A girl I've never seen before barges in to the corridor.

She's for long brown hair and she's very pretty.

She storms over to the crowd and towards me, Cindy and Mandy.

"Picking on people again girls?" The girl says.

"Get out my way bitch." Says Mandy.

"No." The girl says.

She then bends down and helps me up.

"Let's get out of here OK?' She whispers in my ear.
I nodded as she led my out of the crowd.
Away from Cindy and Mandy.

As soon as we get away from everyone the first thing the girl says is

"Are you OK?!"

I'm shaking so yes random girl I'm great.
I've got a bruise forming on my face and I'm embarrassed as fuck.
So yes random girl..
I'm bloody brilliant.

But because I'm stupid I nodded at her.

She smiles back.

"I'm so sorry.. I didn't introduce myself! I'm Kayla by the way."

"Oh hey... I'm Isabel."

"Nice to meet you Isabel!" She replies.

"Um thanks for saving me back there."

"No problem!" Says Kayla.

She checks her watch before saying goodbye to me and rushing off.

And then I'm left alone again

After about ten minutes Tara comes bounding along the hall.

"Sorry I'm late! Let's go let's go!" She squeals.

She pulls me along in the direction of the game.

As I pull all of my broken pieces together.

To face him.

To see him.

And to try not to fall for him all over again.

Best of luck Isabel.

Best of luck...

Hey so I wrote as long as I could.
