"I still like you" I said pulling on my shirt
"I know" Jamie answered
"Jamie its been a year" I said my cheeks turning beet red
"I know I'm sorry" he replied scratching his head
"Aubrey I don't know how to say this" he added
"What?" I asked tears pooling around my eyes
"I still don't like you" he deadpanned
"Okay" I cried biting my lip
"I understand" I added backing away
"Fuck, Aubrey don't cry" he said grabbing my arm
"I'm not crying" I said smiling
"Aubrey" he sighed
"Sorry for wasting your time" I chocked
I turned back and started walking away, my eyes were blurry and my heart felt like it was smashed by a truck, I can't believe I let myself do that again. In the corner of my eye I see Hector coming near me.
"Hey how'd it go?" Hector asked nudging me
"Um great" I lied smiling at him
"Aubs" he said frowning
"What?" I asked still smiling
"You know I know when you lie right" he answered
"What I'm not lying" I said looking straight ahead
"Aubs" he said stopping dead in his tracks
"Hector" I mimicked stopping
He shakes his head and hugged me.
"I'm sorry it didn't go well" he whispered
I nodded letting the tears out, Hector patted my back and hugged me tighter.
"Let's go get ice cream" he suggested
I shaked my head, I don't want ice cream I wanna go home.
"Okay well let's get you home" he said taking my hand
"Okay" I nodded tears still falling
We walked in silence, the last time we did this Hector couldn't even talk to me, I mean I expected it to happen since well who would like me anyways? I mean I'm ugly, I don't even deserve love do I. We arrived at my place and I just felt the need to curl up and die, I just want to be left alone and cry a lot while watching some crazy romcom, maybe eat a lot of popcorn, I feel like total shit right now.
"Hey Aubrey the key" Hector said tapping me
Where did I put my key? I checked my pockets and looked at Hector.
"Um I uh don't have my key" I said patting my pockets
"Where's the spare?" He asked chuckling
"Didn't I give you one" I frowned
"You did" he smiled taking the key out of his pocket
I pushed him playfully as he opened the door.
"Ouch" he said grabbing his arm
I smiled and leaned on the door frame.
"You're taking forever" I sighed looking at him
"Well your door is really complicated you know that right?" He asked pulling on the door
"Here" I said pushing on the door
"And we're inside" I said looking at him
I sighed and thought of what would happen tomorrow.
"Hey would it be weird if I didn't go to school tomorrow?" I asked going to the kitchen
"Well it would" Hector said as he plopped down on the sofa
"Plus I think you should go to school" he added
"Why?" I asked grabbing a paper towel
"Well I would be lonely" he frowned
"You can fend for yourself" I said shaking my head as I wiped my face
"I would literally die" he said raising his arm
"Do my eyes look puffy?" I asked
"Yeah" he said standing up
Hector went to my side and grabbed the paper towel.
"You're supposed to damp it first" he said turning the faucet on
"I knew that" I said staring at the water
"Here" he said putting the damp towel on my eyes
"Thanks" I said
Hector went back to the sofa, my chest still hurts.
"I'm gonna go to my room" I said
"Wait I'll come with" he said standing up
I nodded and walked upstairs.
"My rooms a bit messy" I said
"When was it clean" Hector joked
I laughed and opened the door, my bed looks so comfy.
"I'll probably take a nap" I said plopping down the bed
Hector nodded and sat down on the bed. I have been chasing after Jamie for a year now, I never do learn do I? Confessing 2 times a month, getting my heart shattered every time, fuck what is wrong with you Aubrey?
"Aubrey?" Hector asked laying down besides me
Hector looked me in the eye, his soft green eyes.
"You have nice eyes" I said pointing at his eye
"Thanks" Hector chuckled
"I have weird eyes" I said looking at the ceiling
"They're not that weird" he said doing the same
"They're the ugly kind of blue" I pouted
"They're beautiful" he whispered
I stared at him.
"Nope" I said sticking my tongue out
"Aubrey" he whispered
"What" I whispered
"You're pretty" he whispered smiling
"I'm not" I said frowning
Hector looked at me and smiled.
"What?" I asked
"Nothing" Hector whispered
I moved closer to him, I want a hug.
"Hug?" I asked looking at him
Hector nodded and wrapped his arms around me, he smells nice, I hugged back and fell asleep.
