Loving Someone

The tension is overflowing (25)

Chapter 25: "The tension is overflowing" - She Way Out, The 1975

Kat's POV:

She left. I mean I don't blame her but I never left her when she was feeling pissed off.

I sigh and close my eyes to stop the hot tears from falling.

I got up and put on my backpack. I plug in my earbuds and started walking around campus. I don't care how stupid I may look but walking and music always helps me calm down. The emotions shouting in my ears, my head bouncing to the rhythm, I probably look like an emo loner. My music was so loud, I didn't hear anyone come up to me.

I had my head down, changing the song into something more soothing so I can relax, but when I looked up, I saw the reason I was mad in the first place.

I saw a tall shadow standing ahead of me and I knew instantly who it was.

I took a deep breath in and closed my eyes. "I told you", I say, trying to control my breathing, "to stay away multiple times. Do I need to tell you once more?".

He stayed where he was even though I wanted to feel his touch so badly. "Can we please just talk about this Kat", his blue eyes shimmering with tears.

I felt a pang in my heart but I ignore it. "Talk about what Jace? We've been talking! You heard my part of the story. I heard yours. And we both heard Alec's who's fucking dead!", I scream at him, tired of going in circles.

He clenches his jaw and says, "No. You never heard my part of the story".

I scoff, "And I need to?".

He takes a deep breath and says, "We both know that knowing all parts of the story is important despite who's fault".

I laugh, "Right because then the person who was at fault can lie about what happens huh?". He opens his mouth to object but I cut him off. "What's your story huh? Alec tells you he likes you. You think it's a joke and tell the whole school about it and make fun of him. Then we all know what happens the next day. What can you possibly say next? Were you sorry? Well too late for that".

He gulps, "I didn't know he would react like that".

I gape at him. "Well, what did you expect him to do when everyone was making fun of him, even his best friend crush? Obviously, he won't be happy".

"I didn't know he would kill himself!", he roars.

"WELL I DIDN'T EITHER", I scream back at him, the tears finally falling. "And even if he didn't, would you still be happy with yourself that he's living his life with everyone making fun of him? I can't believe we keep fighting about this. What's done is done. Stop thinking you can redeem yourself or twist the story up because you can't".

"I'm just so tired of us fighting. He told us he wants us to be happy and that it's not my fault", he says.

I feel my body shaking with anger. "Ah! REALLY? Are you seriously going to play that card? Alec said it wasn't your fault? Then who was it? I mean there has to be a reason why he did what he did. You really think it's not your fault? I can't stand one more minute with you. Alec will always be a rough subject between us. We can never be friends again Alec. Face it".

"Why can't we just try things? Why can't we just work things out? We both want to", he whispers, suddenly his forehead touches mine.

Every bone in my body wants to push away. But I can't. It's been too long since we've been this close. My hands go up in his hair and I close my eyes, relaxing my body against his.

He sighs and my heart pounds loudly. Slowly... too slowly, I see his lips move towards me almost hesitantly. I stare at it, waiting. But I can't wait anymore. I clench his hair tighter and push him towards me. His soft lips move against mine. His arms wrap around me, pulling me closer. I run my hands through his soft hair and for a moment, I forgot the past... and maybe the present.
