Torn up. ~Flamingeos Fanfiction

Chapter 107

The picture above is Hazel!

I was walking home now with Hazel. Geo promised me that he'd walk with me but I haven't seen him since he got sent out. It's been horrible spending the almost entire day on my own, but even more horrible worrying about what's happened to poor Geo. However, luckily I made a new friend. It's Hazel, the girl who Mr Clarke likes a bit too much and the girl who I'm currently walking with. We've only met today and she's already told me so much. 

"Me and Mr Clarke haven't slept together, I could never let such a disgusting human share the same bed with me. It makes me cringe just thinking about it." Was how she began, "but when he talks to me at the end of the lessons.. he goes too close to me and just can't keep his hands off me. It makes me feel so uncomfortable and scared."

She told me that he's been acting like this since she was thirteen. She's now sixteen. She told me that she thinks it all began when she started showing signs of liking him. She apparently had a huge crush on him and didn't do a good job of hiding it, but she felt super happy when he showed signs too, so she began staying behind every lesson with him to talk to him and she'd even go to him some lunches because she was "stuck". She said that it was amazing at the time, she was so in love. But then, when she hit the age 15, she stopped falling for him and made it clear to him that she wanted nothing to do with him anymore. But he didn't accept that, and carried on showing signs of liking her but made it way more obvious. 

"He used to be such a lovely, kind gentleman.. you'd be amazed, Lucy." She ended her story with. "But now.. the guy who I regrettably used to dream about having as a boyfriend is anything but those three words.."

After that she burst into tears, and I could even feel tears dropping down my cheeks. This man is clearly breaking her, but I need to stop this before he starts acting too much like a pedophile. He's 26 for gods sake (I may have stalked his facebook at lunch), ten years older than Hazel. But Hazel is still a kid and Mr Clarke is now an adult, he should be mature enough to accept the fact that a KID isn't interested in him and move on. 

"I'll keep you safe." I reassured her. "Geo and I have your back."

It felt so good to see her calm down after I told her that, the fact that she was even thinking suicidal thoughts shows how serious this situation is.  

We had then made our way to the park and when I turned around I saw a familiar looking face.

I wasn't sure if it was him.. for all I know I could be imagining things because of how I missed him so much. And anyway, if it was him surely he'd run up to me and talk to me? Unless he was mad at me, I'd understand that.

I stared at him for a while with a frown, but then quickly looked away when his eyes caught mine.

He looked exactly like him but just with a little bit of stubble and a different fashion sense. Surely he doesn't have a twin..

"Lucy!" Hazel joked, noticing me staring at the boy. "You have a boyfriend!"

I let out a forced smile and then carried on walking at a fast pace. "He just looks familiar, that's all.."

Sorry that this chapter wasn't very interesting, idk if I'm going to make the next chapter the exciting one which I've been waiting to write for ages but it'll soon come up :)
