The Glo Up ~ Derek Luh

Shyanne's pov

"Hey... what's this?" He asked as he stepped inside.

"My things." I simply answered.

"Well is something wrong?" He asked. I just shook my head in response.

"Okay. Well, did you ever get a chance to speak to Cameron?" He asked. I sighed and closed my eyes. I seriously didn't want to cry in front of him. Hell, I shouldn't be talking to him. God knows what Cameron would do with his crazy ass.

"Yeah." I breathed.

"So he took it well or..." He dragged.

"Derek. I'm not breaking up with Cameron. I love Cameron." I told him before the doors opened.

"What?" He asked in shock.

I kept walking until I was out of the college.

"What the hell are you talking about? You told me you didn't."

"Well I do! We can't keep fooling around. It'll jeopardize Cameron and I's relationship." It truly pained me to say those words.

"Stop saying these things. You obviously don't mean them. Just tell me what going on." He tried to reach for my hand but I pulled away.

"Derek, please." I put my hand out to stop him from coming and closer.

"Derek, this whole thing- us, was just a joke. I don't actually care for you. You are nothing and you still will be nothing to me. I am live with Cameron! That's why I hadn't broken up with him yet! I don't plan to either. Now if you'd just leave me alone--"

"Where the hell are you going?" He asked angrily.

"To visit someone! Can actually let my boyfriend worry about me?!" I yelled.

Derek actually looked hurt.
The whole expression of hurt was written on his face. It made my feel terrible, but then I keep telling myself that I'm doing this for his safety.

"So everything we've talked about... those were lies?" His voice broke.

"Yeah. Sorry about everything." I said.

He just nodded and stared angrily at the ground. "Fine. Fuck you then. You know what, I'm waiting my time. Just go! I don't give a fuck. Never did, never will." He shook his head before turning back around, heading inside.

I gasped and covered my mouth. I started crying again.

It's for the best.

I turned around and continued to sob. I unlocked my car and put the suitcase in the trunk.

I slammed the trunk door down. I stared at it before leaning down and putting my face in my arms.
I just cried and thought this through.

I'm gonna have to get a plane ticket to get to Omaha.

I sniffed and walked over to the drivers seat. I sat down and closed the door. I locked all doors as I ordered a plane ticket.

Next flight is in the morning.

I'm just going to sleep in here for tonight. There's no way I'm ever going to show my face in that place again.

Derek's pov

I've never felt so angry, sad, and hurt at the same time before.

I didn't know if I wanted to break something or cry.

Something just feels off though.
What I felt for her, what she felt for me seemed so real.

I let out a frustrated groan and ran my fingers through my hair.

I don't even know why I tried. No one actually loves me. Not my parents and now I know definitely not Shyanne. This whole break up thing seems fucked up and we weren't even officially together.

I wonder how Maggie's feeling though. Hell, maybe they weren't even friends. How would I know? I just got thrown in my face that everything I thought I knew was a lie.

Maggie's room door was open. I didn't bother saying anything though. I tried walking past it but I caught a glimpse of Maggie sitting on her bed with her head in her hands.

Fuck, I am not in the mood to talk to anyone right now.

I sighed and walked in.

She looked up and her red eyes widened. She stood up and walked over to me.

"Jesus Mag, why are you crying?" I asked her.

"You have to get Shy, Derek you have to get her. Don't make her go back." She had a sad look on her face.

"I don't even wanna hear that name." I rolled my eyes.
"What the hell's wrong with you?" Maggie asked.

"She simply told me that she never even loved me and that she loved Cameron- I don't wanna fucking talk about it!" I yelled as I kept remembering.

"Are you mad? She loves you!" She told me but I scoffed.

"Maggie I just came in here to see if you were okay, I'm not here to talk about my past." I said before backing up.

"Derek she's leaving because she said Cameron wouldn't let her go. You can't honestly believe that she'd love him over you..." She narrowed her eyes at me.
"There's a reason she said what she said."

"Look. She loves Cameron. That's why she wouldn't break up with him, okay? She loves him and not me. So be it. I'm not gonna chase her." I scoffed.

"Derek-"

"It's done Maggie! I heard what I heard! My feelings were just a game to her. I'm done." I said before walking out of her room.
