Shadow lives.

Chapter.25

"Listen to me"! He shouted.
"Why can't you just believe me, after every that's happened just believe me"! Jerk.
"Are you kidding, you said it straight to me face, how could you not mean it"!
"I know but ugh it wasn't me"! What is this paranormal activity?!
"What is that supposed to mean"?! He's acting like a crazy person.
"Ugh"! He groaned.
"Groaning isn't going to help you"!
"But you believing me will"!
"Why should I"!
"Because I'm your boyfriend and your best friend . We've been through so much! And I really hope you can believe me". He sounded sad, but I don't care!
"Liar"! I screamed.
"Sweetheart ple-"....
"Don't sweetheart me! You told me you wanted to break up! Let's just break up! I don't care who in your crazy mind said it! You still did! So shut up and go away"!!!
"After everything you can't believe me! Are you kidding!"! I opened the door.
"Am I kidding?! Your the one who's saying someone else said something but you still did"! He was really mad, I was way beyond mad!
"I'm telling the truth"!
"Yeah right". I rolled my eyes.
"Maybe barreds right! You are stupid! You can't even believe your own boyfriend"! I looked at him, my mouth dropped wide open. But then I took a breath.
"I knew it! You liar! I hate you"!
"Screw you"!
"Up yours"! I slammed my door. I sat down against my door. I started crying loud and hard.
"GET OUT"!!! I heard Richie scream. I opened my door and ran down stairs. I saw Richie clenching his fists, looking down. Oh no Barreds back! Ugh! Now out of all times.
"What's going on"? Richie looked at me.
"Get behind me"! I did as I was told. I looked down. It wasn't Barred.
"Meet the guy who shot me"! The guy stood up, he was still a black figure.
"Hi there girlie". He waved.
"Great you two know each other, now GET OUT"!!! Richie screamed.
"I heard you two broke up"?
"How did you know that"? I asked.
"Well I told your boyfriend to say his true opinion on you, he said it wasn't him. That's sort of true, but I just helped him".
"LIAR"! Richie screamed. I covered my mouth, I think I made a mistake.
"I'LL KILL YOU"! Richie screamed then tackled the thing. I tried to pull him off but I couldn't.
"WHY WOULD YOU TELL HER THESE LIES!!! SHE WAS THE ONLY GOOD THING IN MY LIFE, NOW SHE HATES ME"!!! He started strangling him.
"Richie stop"! I finally pried him off. When he stood up, we looked at each other.
"Richie". I pointed to the ground, it was gone. He looked.
"Ugh"! He groaned. Then he turned around and looked back at me. I smiled a little.
"Are we still broken up"? He asked looking at the ground.
"I don't know"... I rubbed my shoulder.
"I don't want to". He said.
"Same here but"... before I could say another word he kissed me. We broke apart.
"But I didn't say that, you don't believe me fine".
"I believe you". I hugged him. We were hugging for like 10 minutes.
"I'm sorry I said you were stupid". He rubbed my back.
"Nah its fine I am stupid for not believing you". He pushed me off lightly.
"Your not stupid, I wouldn't have believed me either".
"You would've believed me". I know he would have.
"This is awkward". He was rubbing the back of his neck.
"Thanks captain obvious". I smiled.
"Want ice cream"? He asked. I giggled.
"Yes, but can I ask you something"?
"Yeah".
"When you told me to get behind you, it was protection. I mean we were in the middle of a fight why did you still want to save me"? He smiled.
"Why did you come down"? He smirked.
"To see if you were ok".
"And we were in a fight, but you still came down to see if I was ok, why"?
"I care".
"Exactly. You just answered your own question".
"Oh". I smiled. I felt stupid.🤦‍♂️
"You know we never did get that ice cream". He smirked. Then he took my hand and we went to the kitchen.
"Why are you so quiet, you ok"? He smiled while getting ice cream out of the freezer.
"Yeah I'm fine". I smiled.
"Were gonna be ok right"? I asked. I don't know anymore, I mean this is just an awkward moment.
"I hope so, but the key word is WE because we both have to be ok. Not just me or just you. I'm ok but I know this is awkward for you". He smiled weakly. I didn't smile back I just looked at the ground. I know he's right.
"What if were never the same"? I asked.
"I don't know sweetheart, I can't tell the future. But I do know you, and I intend to always make you smile and make you happy". I looked up.
"I... we.. no I messed up I know that, I hope we can get over this awkwardness".
"You didn't mess up, I did". I said that, I don't know why but I started crying. I felt so bad and things between us might not be the same.
"Sweetheart".
"I'm sorry, I'm such a jerk". I covered my face with my hands.
"Your not a jerk". He was talking softly like a parent would to a crying child.
"Your right I'm worse". He hugged me. I didn't hug back, I couldn't I felt so horrible.
