I ran my hands through Griffin's fur and looked at my ceiling. Sterek decided to tell her Monday so she can at least be happy with having a boyfriend. I was a little hesitant because I didn't see why we had to wait for 2 days. But then he told me how Andy didn't have a boyfriend before but she got the attention from a few boys. I frowned and stared down at Griffin who had his tongue sticking out and his tail waggling.
"What do you think about Jake?" I said no one in particular. Griffin growled and his eyes turned darker. I smiled and kissed his nose. "I feel the same way."
Griffin whimpered and licked my cheek. My smile widen and I got up from my bed. I walked towards my door and I heard Griffin whimper again. I looked over my shoulder and saw Griffin looking sadly at me.
"Well, aren't you coming? We're going to play catch," I said and showed him a small blue ball.
I wanted to have the color be the same as his eyes. Griffin barked happily and rushed out of my room. I quickly grabbed my coat from my computer chair and grabbed my sneakers under my bed. I put them on as I walking towards the front door. More like hopping.
When I got outside, it was snowing a little bit. I pulled my coat closer to my body and blew on my hands. I showed the blue ball to Griffin again and he stared at it. It felt like I was hypnotizing him. I threw the ball behind him and he quickly caught it with his mouth. He easily gave me the ball and I threw it behind him again but he pushed it to the street. I sighed and jogged towards the street.
Griffin barked loudly and I said, "Stay Griffin. I'll be right back."
Griffin looked concerned but he stay. I grabbed the blue ball and wiped it on my pants to wipe the dirt away. I looked up to see a car coming my way and I froze. It's like time slowed down. There was a loud honking telling me to move pug the way but I couldn't move. No wonder why deers get hit by a car. The bright light blinded my eyes and I braced myself to get hit. I opened my eyes and saw that I was still standing up. I heard the car door slammed and a hand on my arm. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Gabe? I could've hit you!"
I looked into brown eyes and saw a hint of red. I frowned. I didn't know he was the one driving the car. It seems like we meet at unexpected places and we'll always fight. Casper grabbed my cheeks and examined my face. I rolled my eyes and slapped his hands off my face. I walked back on the street and threw the blue ball behind Griffin. Griffin wanted to stay on his spot and watch Casper but he couldn't because he couldn't let a ball pass him. He caught the ball with his mouth and gave the ball to me. He growled at Casper but Casper looked unfazed. Casper had a thing with dogs, like me, but he was also scared of big dogs. He was trying to be mister big guy around me but I wanted him to be himself. Matter of fact, I wanted to go away and leave me alone.
"What the hell do you want? I told you to leave me the hell alone, Casper," I said and threw the ball at Griffin. Griffin barked and ran inside the house to get the ball. Casper ran a hand through his red hair. There was a hint of brown showing. It was time for him to get his dyed again or he'll look stupid with half red and half brown hair. He already looks stupid with red hair.
"I want you back, Gabe. I'm not going to stop," Casper determined.
"Good luck with that. I don't like you anymore," I mocked.
He smirked and placed a hand on the back of my neck and pulled me towards him. For a second, I actually saw the Casper I dated. He still had his stupid red hair but there was a spark in his eyes. His eyes would only spark when we're alone. That means he could kiss me whenever he want and he like being around me. But I didn't like being around him anymore. I pushed him away and glared at him.
"I'm not going to cheat on my boyfriend because that's not what boyfriends. I think you have forgotten that when you had your dick out!" I got close to his face. I could smell minty toothpaste and vanilla French raiding off him. His brown eyes were sad and regretful.
"The dork broke up with the popular guy. Get that through your fucking head. If I see you again, I'm going to let Sterek kick your ass and you'll be in the hospital longer, do I make myself clear?" I turned around, not waiting for his answer.
"You can't fight your own battles, huh? You're weak, Gabe! You let everyone do your dirty work!" Casper screamed.
"I'm not weak. I'm just smarter than you! I rather be smart than cheat!"
I walked inside my house and turned around to see his head down. He looked like a lost puppy with his eyes shining down. My heart broke when I saw his expression. I wasn't being mean. He brought this on his own. He cheated on me and cheaters should know that you could better than them. That's why I broke up with him. I'm with someone better. I'm with Sterek. Casper looked up and his eyes were glistering with tears. Tears were streaming down his cheeks and he dropped on his knees, chocking on his sobs.
"I love you, Gabe," he said and wiped his cheeks. He stared at me to say something. I stood there motionless. What could I say? I had a boyfriend. I couldn't say I love you back because that would count as cheating and I don't cheat.
I shook my head and slammed the door shut. I slided on the back with my back leaning on the front door. Griffin walked toward me and whimpered. I hugged him and nuzzled onto his fur. If Casper wouldn't have say that, I would still be playing catch with Griffin. Why couldn't Casper go with Kasey and live his life? Did I love him back? I thought I did. I was going to tell him after I told my brother that I had a boyfriend but I couldn't anymore. I wanted to open the door and tell him sorry but I didn't do anything. He cheated on me, he didn't want to show me off to his friends and family, and he didn't want to come out. Everything he did was on his own and he should feel sadness and pain. Why was I crying then?
I pulled away and sniffled. Griffin whimpered and licked my cheeks, wiping the tears away. I patted his head to tell him thank you but he didn't look pleased.
"I'm going to be okay, Griffin. I love you," I whispered.
Griffin placed his head on my lap and closed his eyes. I leaned my head on the door and wondered if Casper was still outside, sitting on the snow. Was he was going to wait until I said it back? Or was he going to come tomorrow and say it again? I wasn't too happy about tomorrow. I closed my eyes and shut my eyes right so the tears would fall again but they did. Casper's words played in my head.
"I love you, Gabe,"
"I love you, Gabe,"
