Lost

Chapter 6

I continued walking after that last moment with Oliver. I heard him yell

"Wait! Tori!!!" And he ran after me. I slowed down and I leaned against the wall and he placed his hand there on the wall about an inch away from my arm. I didn't move however, because I felt safe. "What's going on" he said always concerned. I could tell that the thought of me being unhappy bothered him.

"I wish I knew..." I said. I always had days where I was unhappy and didn't even want to talk to Oliver. Yet somehow, looking into his eyes I knew he was worried.

"Please." He said brushing his hand against my arm. I placed my hand on his chest. I then looked at my hand there and he looked down at my hand there. He then looked into my eyes and grabbed my hand. We walked then to my car where I poured out to him all I had felt in the last couple of days. He sat there the whole time, his brown eyes boring into me. And never had I EVER met someone with brown eyes that showed so much emotion and were so beautiful.

"I really don't know....

I don't know why people act the way they do. And I don't know why people hurt each other. But mostly, I don't know how someone could hurt someone like you." He said. Oliver was the sweetest guy I had ever met. With him, I felt like someone loved me unconditionally. He was my angel. My escape from everything. And he was so perfect. Because he protected me and I loved him back for that.

"Oliver..." I said looking at him with a glimmer of awe in my eyes. And a touch of love. He pressed his lips together showing his dimples in his cheeks which made him look even cuter. Then he smiled. He looked up into my eyes and he kissed me. And it felt the same as last time. But no magic had left. Our lips for together as perfectly as our personality had and the kiss lasted forever until I heard a knock on the window. We both jumped and I shrunk into my seat. Outside the window was just about everyone in our grade level. Knocking on the window had been Estelle.

"player hah?" She said nastily. "First Riley now Oliver" she said and I slammed my head into the headrest with anger. I hated her.

"Shut up Estelle. What do you want!? What did she ever do to you!?" Oliver yelled. Estelle laughed and gave an evil smirk towards me. I opened the door and stepped out of the car. Riley was standing next to Estelle. Oliver followed me out of the car. We walked up to the sidewalk where people were saying "awww!" And whispering about me and Oliver.

"Estelle. I don't CARE what you think about me. I'm not dating Riley. In fact, I hate Riley." I said trying to be strong. Oliver grabbed my hand. The crowd of high schoolers went crazy and I knew immediatly that we had won. We had beat Estelle.

Oliver pulled me into his arms kissed me on the forehead. I smiled and then he held on to me. The whole group of people flooded around hugging us. And smiling. Through the crowd I managed to see Riley. And he was holding Estelle the same way Oliver held me. Except Estelle was crying and so was Riley. They walked off and clung on to Oliver as best as I could. He was talking to some guy friend. He bent over then whispered in my ear.

"You can go whenever, I'll meet you after school" he said and I smiled at him. His friends all smiled at me and I felt welcome with him.

I couldn't stop thinking about Riley though. I was trying to push my way through the crowd which had seemed to grow just by people seeing a crowd and running over to join. I thought I was leaving the circle but apparently to had been going right back to the center. There was a small hole in the center of the crowd and I made it and saw Oliver in the middle. Some people from behind pushed me into him and he caught me. Again.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" They started chanting and then he pecked me on the lips and I then left and began making my the right way, through the crowd. Once out I went in the direction Riley and Estelle had gone. They had gone back into school and I saw them sitting on a bench. Riley kissed Estelle on the forehead and he held her close to him. Even though I hated both of them, they were a cute couple. I walked a slowly over to them. My hand held ackwardly together in front of me.

"Hey..." I said looking at my feet then up at them.

"What!" Estelle spat at me. Riley just looked at me. I sat down next to Riley.

"I'm sorry...." And I broke down crying.

"You should be! Look at what you've done!" Estelle said and I sobbed even harder. Then the unthinkable happened.

"Estelle. I'm breaking up with you." Riley said and Estelle gasped with shock. And for once she didn't say anything. She just ran off.

"What was that!?" I said in shock but I couldn't help smiling.

"I thought about what you had said and.... I knew Estelle was bad business. And I was being a jerk. I'm the one who should be sorry" he said and I hugged him.

"Riley. I could never hate you." I said and he leaned closer to me. We looked into each other's eyes and we were about to kiss. And I didn't think we would but then we did. And what I felt was nothing. Me and Riley had nothing. Nothing in comparison to me and Oliver. Just them Oliver walked past. I jumped away from Riley and then I looked at Oliver. He walked off and I could see in his stride he was furious. I ran after him and caught him by the gym.

"What was that?" He said and he would make eye contact with me.

"He kissed me... I-I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to" and I broke down because Oliver had made my life complete and now I had hurt him. I stared into his eyes.

But I couldn't hold eye contact for very long, because now his deep eyes were filled with hurt. And I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"I'm sorry" I said. And he finally looked back into my eyes. But I didn't know what expression I saw in his eyes then. And for once, his eyes were just brown.
