Falling For You

Chapter 23.

Vanessa P.O.V

I got into my car, and Jordan was still following me.  She sat in the passenger seat and I sat there with my head on the wheel crying.

"So it is true?" I heard Jordan question, breaking the silence in the car.

"Yes Jordan if you haven't realized it yet, yes," I hissed, my voice was still filled with anger.

"Okay look I know you're mad, but please calm down," she said and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"What are you doing here?" I asked while lifting my head up, revealing my distraught looking face.

"I'm making sure you don't do anything stupid," she said and I smiled a bit.

"Yeah I'll probably need that," I said and I started the car.

"Where are we going," she asked and I pulled out of the parking lot.

"I don't know," I said and we both drove off to somewhere I didn't want to be...Shawn's house.

~~~

I pulled into his driveway, and from the corner of my eye, I could see Jordan giving me a confused look.

"What are we doing here?" She asked and I looked at her while undoing my seatbelt.

"This is Shawn's house, I've been living here ever since I go out of the hospital," I said and she still had the same expression on her face.

"My mom wasn't around, and Shawn didn't want me to be alone so I moved in with him sort of," I said and she nodded.

"Well she's home now, isn't that her car in the driveway?" She said and pointed to my house next door.

"Yes, but she's probably having sex with her molester of a boyfriend," I scoffed and she turned back to me.

"Long story," I said and she nodded.

Just then, I heard her phone buzz and she grabbed it out of her bag.

"Shit, my brother found out that I left school, if I don't go back I'm going to be a huge trouble," she huffed and I nodded.

I started the car again, but she shook her head, "You don't have to take me, I know you have things to do, I'll just walk."

I nodded and turned off the car.  We both got out of the car and she started walking towards the school.

"I'll check on you later, you can stay at my house!" She called out before running back to school.

I grabbed the key that Shawn gave me and walked inside.  I recalled the events of last night when I walked towards the stairs.  My eyes quickly filled themselves with tears.

I walked up the stairs and into his room.  The bed still wasn't made from last night and I almost lost it.  After everything, I had to find out that he dated another one of his students.

Why did it have to be me? I actually fell for him, and I thought he felt the same way, but I was wrong.  How could someone you love so much be the one who completely destroys you in the end?

Just then, I heard the garage door open.

"Shit," I muttered to myself and ran into his closet to grab some of my clothes that were hanging there.

"Vanessa can we please talk!" I heard Shawn call out, and from what my ears picked up, he was walking up the stairs.

"Go away Shawn!" I yelled.

"Last time I checked this is my house," I turned around to see him standing at the doorway.

"Look Ness, please let me explain," he said and I shook my head.

"I can't take these lies Shawn," I mumbled and tried walking out of the closet, but he blocked me.

"You can't leave until you listen to me," I said and I sighed.

"Fine," I simply said.
