Runaway Man

Chapter 24: Frustrated

Chapter 24: Frustrated

With earphones slotted into both of my eyes, I tried to block out the rest of the world. Today had been absolutely awful. Firstly, I had to see the two boys which made my heart tear straight down the middle then… my best friend was randomly kissing a guy she claimed to hate. She was completely sober so I felt as if I was missing out on some key information. Did Jessica know about it too but she kept it a secret?

Angrily, I gave my dinner a death glare. It consisted of bangers and mash, aka sausages and mash potatoes. It glared at me back so I threw a sausage against the wall and it splattered. I wouldn’t have eaten it anyway, food wasn’t physically going down my throat.

"So let mercy come and wash away what I've done," I muttered to Linkin Park gently. After practically just losing my best friend today, it was my new best friend. There was no way in hell she'd forgive me. Love was messing with my head and I didn't like it one bit. It made me crazy, act out of character and I bit my tongue hard between my teeth.

Could I have just erased today?

Sadly, that was impossible. I wasn’t the type of girl that would have a big blue box land in her garden. Even if a tardis did somehow make its way over to me, after seeing me, it would definitely fly away to another galaxy. I just… I just had screwed up big time.

There was a knock on my bedroom door and I was glad that I remembered to lock it for once. I ignored it, pretending that I hadn’t heard or that I was asleep when I heard Dirk’s low pitched voice speak up.

He banged on the door once more. Obviously today he was being oblivious. "Wanna play Mario Kart? I might let you be player one."

"Leave me alone."

"Why's your door locked? Are you watching porn?" I practically heard the amused expression in his voice.

"Shut up!" I yelled, almost tearing out my brown hair in frustration. When you're pissed, the worst thing to do was to get pissed off more. Right now, I had a really good reaction time to bullshit and not even my own brother would get mercy.

"Period?" He suggested.

"Go away."

"It is, isn't it?" He said smugly. I clenched my fists together as tight as they could until they went white at the knuckles then threw my phone at the wall and it exploded into millions of pieces. Automatically, I regretted that.

"No. Something happened at the stadium now can you remove yourself," I hissed through a closed jaw, peering over at my wrecked phone, "You annoy me."

"I'm coming in," he announced. But with my bedroom door locked, it was so satisfying when I heard him bashing his body against it to try force it open. I thought that he had left when his footsteps faded away but they came back and the door swung open.

He was all sweaty with a stretched out hair pin slit between his teeth. With his hands on hips, trying to be as serious as he could. He probably did the same at swimming parties just to creep out children. The thought made me so embarrassed.

Please, not all men were like him.

"Pour your heart out."

"Stop getting involved in everything," I hissed as I swung my pillow over my ears to block out any noise aka him.

"Linda?" I shivered a the sound of her gastly name. I hated how he assumed all of my problems to be related to her. Well, most of them were but this time it wasn't.

"Leave or I'll get mum."

Slightly irritated, he stood up knowing that maybe for once he wouldn't get anywhere. Just at the door, he turned to look at me and he gulped down a lump that was evident in his throat.

He suggested with a wink. "Just ask Diana for advice," I breathed in and my gaze wobbled at him. Part of my mind wanted to tell him... the other half didn't. Like... what should I have done? I was so pissed off that I didn't even care anymore but when I tried to speak, my tongue wrapped around itself. Did he know more than I thought? "I'll call her to come over." I huffed and stood up with something urging me on to slapping him but I didn't.

"Don't," I gritted my teeth together. I was bound to have removed at least three layers of enamel by doing this. Everything was pissing me off today and now I was going to break, "I don't want her to... um know."

"What?"

"Just don't, I'll sort it out on my own," I tried to keep a calm tone to my voice, "Time is the essence of healing." I rolled my eyes at my soppiness but who cared? He probably had no clue on what I was talking about. My plan was that I would either 1. Remain pissed at her for eternity 2. Wait until she found me and said something or 3. Try forget about it.

He frowned slightly, waving his hand off into the air, which hopefully meant that he was going to go away for good this time.

“I’ll be loading up the game downstairs,” he ran his fingers through his honey coloured hair, “Feel free to join me. It could take your mind off of things.”

____________________________

This chapter was pretty short and like a filler but I needed this for the build up towards something big that's going to happen soon (which is like next chapter). I'm not going to give any giveaways although some of you might have a rough idea on what it is.

The other day, I added an extra part for the story, which is like at the beginning so it doesn't go into the first chapter straight away if that makes sense. It's basically just the description, title and stuff so sorry if I got anyone's hopes up because it looked like an update. xD

Finally, I have started pre-writing a new story so when this one comes really close to its end (which I don't know when but it could be soon), I will publish it and let everyone know. There are still a few things that need to be covered though so I doubt that!

Thanks for the continous support so far; please vote, comment and fan if you haven't already! (long a/n omg)
