My Summer Fling (editing)

17 ~

"Wait!" I exclaimed, running towards the figure, who rushed to his own class. I placed my hand on his shoulder, stopping him.

"I'm gonna go retake a chem test," he imitated my voice, "Bullshit."

"Stop it-"

"I have nothing to say to you, Megan. I thought you were better than this."

"Jared stop!"

♡ Megan's POV ♡

My heart was breaking, little by little, as I watched him continue walking down the hall. I stood on the other side, tears welling up in the pit of my eyes. The feeling of guilt overwhelmed me and before I knew it, I was crying.

To say I really liked Jared would've been an understatement. I honestly fell in love with his sweet guy personality, and I know how wrong of me it was to do what I had done. Because I not only hurt him, I was slowly killing myself. The guilt eating at my insides was what brought me to run towards his figure. His shoulders were slouched his hands rubbing his eyes. He looked shocked, hurt, disappointed; any emotion really that could describe the feeling of being cheated on. I placed a hand on his shoulder, his body coming to a stop. He tensed up when he saw my long, bright bubblegum pink nails pulling him back towards me. His eyes were red, an obvious sign that he had began to cry at some point from when I last saw him and now. I bit my lip, closing my eyes and letting out a breath I had been holding in. I reached my hand to touch his cheek, his head immediately looking away from me. I put my hands at my side, pursing my lips.

"I guess I deserve that." He laughed at this comment, pulling away from my grasp.

"Oh, you deserve much worse than just me looking away from you. You were fooling around with him, behind my back. You deserve to rot in hell." He spit his words out like venom, a cold stare in his eyes. It was as if that little comment had just washed all the hurt from his face. The loving, emotional, caring Jared I had grown to know and love was replaced with what seemed to be a very confused Jared. His look was sour, his eyes not looking directly at me, but past me. "How long has this been going on?"

"Not too long after the homecoming dance." I crossed my arms in front of my eyes, one of my hands pinching my side hard. I looked away from him, embarrassed of the tears streaming down my face. I wiped a few away from my cheek, pursing my lips. I sniffed, the water making the nasal congestion sound like I had the worst cold possible.

"So, basically our entire relationship!" Jared's tone was sarcastic, a tad of disbelief in his voice. "I can't believe that you, of all people actually had the nerve to do this." He was talking more to himself than me, I could tell by the way he scratched the back of his neck and looked down at the ground with a shake of the head. Tears were welling up in his eyes, my first instinct was to wipe them away but I had to hold myself back. His emotions showed mostly hatred towards me, if anything.

"I'm so sorry, Jared-"

"No you're not," Jared laughed sourly, the look in his eyes still showing major disbelief. "You might think you are, but you're not. You go, have fun with that asshole, you two deserve each other. Especially if he's willing to watch you cheat with your current boyfriend to be with him. You both disgust me."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I exclaimed, a now surprised look across my face.

"Don't look so surprised that I called you disgusting. What you're doing, been doing, did you really think you could get away with it for so long? I was bound to find out at some point." His face was red as he placed his face in his hands, rubbing his eyes. His hands remained on his cheeks as he stared at me disapprovingly. "I only ever asked you because I didn't feel like you had it in you to hurt me. Guess I should've given other girls chances because you're all exactly the same. You all have it in you to hurt a guy like me."
